Historic * Walkable * Downtown * Boat Parking * Fire Pit

Welcome to Merrily Cottage, a charming, cozy, newly renovated historic cottage with modern amenities in the Historic District on the Island of Cedar Key.

Park your car and enjoy the ambiance of a life better lived with no traffic lights, no fast food restaurants with a strong resemblance to a bygone era of Florida.

Visit with friends on the porch, drink a large cold glass of sweet tea (or Bourbon) or roast marshmallows by the fire pit in cold weather.

Enjoy walking 2 blocks to the Gulf of Mexico, restaurants, Art Galleries, Museum, shopping and stroll along the waterfront watching glorious sunsets that are a photographer's dream.

Bring your boat. Go island hopping. Go fishing. Go birding.

Let Merrily be your respite place.
