    Explore Cedar Key – A Timeless Island Escape

    Located just across from Annie’s Café, Rain Cottage is a short walk to art galleries, artist studios, and waterfront dining. Cedar Key is a charming Old Florida fishing village, free of fast food chains, traffic lights, or commercial sprawl. Instead, you’ll find oyster-lined channels, lush salt marshes, and a welcoming artistic community. Whether you spend your days kayaking, boating, or simply enjoying the laid-back island atmosphere, you’ll quickly fall in love with the peaceful beauty of Cedar Key.

    This is more than just a place to stay—it’s a place to slow down, recharge, and embrace the rhythm of the Gulf. You won’t want to leave!
