Pure slice of heaven.
We absolutely enjoyed our first stay in Cedar Key at Rains Cottage. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed and then some. The location was within walking distance to restaurants and shopping. To be able to watch the sun rise and sun set with just a small walk from the cottage was breath taking. We look forward to returning to Cedar Key/ Rains Cottage sooner than later.

Cozy getaway
My wife and I came to Cedar Key for a quick trip away from home. Rains Cottage is a wonderful property. It is probably one of the nicest rentals we have been to. The local people were very friendly. There were lots of choices for restaurants. We found a great Tiki Bar up the road which was a lot of fun. We loved staying at Rains Cottage and would stay here again.

Cozy little bungalow in a great location!
This is the perfect place for a Cedar Key getaway. Close to everything but very quiet and it feels like you have the whole back bayou to yourself when you’re relaxing on the dock. The birdwatching was fantastic.

Weekend getaway
We had never been to cedar Kay and would call it a nice little drinking village. No good places to swim or fish but had fun riding the golf cart and visiting the shops and bars. The house was so cute and perfect for a couple. View was great but the water was too shallow and muddy for fishing. Overall we had a great time.

Lovely little cottage
This was such a great place with just enough space to be comfortable, and it's cute! The location is walkable to everything, especially Annie's across the street for breakfast. The view is super when the tide is high. The outside sitting area could have used a good cleaning, but still enjoyable. Be careful with children or pets on the back porch because there is no 'gate' separating the sitting area from the docks. It was an awesome stay!
