A Perfect Getaway

We couldn't have asked for a better place to enjoy Cedar Key. The cottage was comfortable, complete with everything we could possible need or want, clean, close to town and the sunsets, quiet -- ideal for a getaway. We couldn't recommend it more, although we're hesitant to do so for fear that it will be "discovered" and won't be available the next time we hope to reserve it. Had it been available, we would have extended our stay.

Owner response:So glad you enjoyed the Sunflower Cottage and hope you'll come back again.

A fishermans Haven

Wanted to get away for the Thanksgiving holiday and agreed on Cedar Key. I am a saltwater inshore fishing guide in SW Florida, so I wanted to come for the trout and reds, my wife for the shops and stores. What we both loved was the cottage. It was very comfortable and welcoming. I have 52' of truck and trailer that I was able to get backed in with no issues. And the golfcart is great to run around in, saving the hassle of hooking and unhooking the boat trailer. Our two dogs loved the screened door and the neverending supply of local cats to bark at. A great place that I am sure we will return to.

Owner response:It was a pleasure to have you stay at my cottage. I've heard the reds are in so hope you caught some. Look forward to having you back. Tina

Great find in Cedar Key

My wife and I have visited Cedar Key five times in the past five months and I must say the Sunflower Cottage is the nicest place we've stayed. The cabin is comfortable and well-appointed. Everything you need is available. Just bring your own food! We came for four nights with our little dog and all three had a blast. The location is convenient for exploring all of Cedar Key using the house's golf cart. We were zipping around like locals in no time. I want to thank Tina for her hospitality. It was a pleasure staying here. I have absolutely nothing negative to say. We're looking forward to our next visit already!

Great R&R

The E Street Cottage was perfect for our July R&R week ... even with our 2 Afghan Hound dogs being welcome! The house is spacious and well stocked (even laundry detergent!) and very comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and easy to walk around (which we did alot with the dogs). The house is very clean and charming, many personal touches. We appreciated the golf cart being part of the package -- we drove it to the grocery store, the charming shops downtown and the restaurants on Dock St. ... even out to the Cedar Key cemetary (don't miss it). We loved Kona Joe's, the Canvas Bag shop (a local industry), the Cedar Key library, the arts shops, even the curmudgeon's bookstore! This place is a real GEM and the E Street Cottage was the perfect house (felt like home, not a rental cottage).

Hubby's Birthday Visit

The cottage is an excellent retreat for some R & R. Tina, the owner is very helpful and accomodating. The cottage is in a very quiet and central location. The golf cart was especially welcome for the pups to have their first ride on (they had a blast). My husband was very pleased with the cottage and even said it was the best so far on the island and we have stayed at many other places. The cottage is a definate must for anyone looking for a place to stay while visiting Cedar Key. Thanks again Tina :)

Owner response:Thanks for writing about your visit and I'm glad you had such a good time. Thank goodness the golf cartis a 4 seater so your pups were able to enjoy their visit and tour around Cedar Key in style.

Father's Day surprise

We wanted to surprise our father with an early father's day get away. We spent 3 days in this fabulous cottage. The cottage is very clean and comfy. We spent our days and nights sight seeing and fishing. We brought along our dog who loves the water. She swam and swam. She (as well as the rest of us) enjoyed riding around and looking at all the different homes with their bright colors and marine decor. This cottage is only a few blocks from G street which is a great place to hang out in the water or fish. We really enjoyed our stay and Dad was indeed very surprised and loved it! Thank you so much Tina for sharing your wonderful cottage. Wendy, Dawn, Barbara and Fred

By far the best value on the island without sacrificing anything. The cottage is very clean, well maintained, well appointed, artsy. Location is perfect--with the golf cart you're 1 minute away from the water/beach and grocery store, 3 minutes away from the dock, shops and restaurants. We loved the fact that there was plenty of room for our boat & trailer plus the outdoor storage. The owner (Tina) was very attentive to our needs. She went out of her way on Monday to get us the annual pass so we didn't have to pay to launch the boat; and later in the week when the washing machine broke down, she had a new one installed pronto. After spending a week here and seeing all the properties available, I would most definitely choose this place to come back to.

Owner response:It's always a pleasure to rent to people like the last reviewer. They were so accommodating in getting the new washer in. Thanks for coming and hope to see you back soon.

Your cottage is adorable. The bed is like sleeping on a cloud and we loved having so many channels on the TV...unlike many of the places in Cedar Key. We'll definitely be back to the E Street Cottage. Sara
