About this property

The Hook, Wine & Sinker Cottage is a 1 bed/1.5 bath cottage with a Gulf view and kayaks

Hook, Wine & Sinker Cottage is an island home located on a quiet residential circle community in Cedar Key, Florida. The wrap around deck provides gorgeous sunsets, water views & the sounds of a multitude of birds, including Osprey, Egrets, Pelican, Cardinal, Carolina Chickadee, and many more. The property is perched on a shell mound with water views & water access, surrounded by majestic Live Oak Trees. All of this tranquility is found in a quiet - quaint neighborhood.

Enjoy the kayaks and launch right from the property discovering all the various islands. Bring your fishing pole and catch a redfish for dinner. Enjoy peddling to town on the bicycles that are their for your use. Explore Cemetery Park or peddle to Dock Street and visit all the shops.

Location – Location – Location…… Walking distance to The Low Key Hideaway Tiki Bar. Enjoy a delicious cocktail, (we recommend their famous Bloody Mary) and don’t miss ordering amazing food from Lenny’s food truck.

This home sleeps up to 4 people. The cottage has 1 bedroom with a queen size bed upstairs. On the main level, the living room easily converts into a 2nd bedroom as it has one of the comfiest queen size pull out sofa’s you will find. Also discover a privacy partition separating the living room from the rest of the house and darkening shades for a good night’s sleep. If you enjoy a quick nap in the afternoon, you will love the cushy recliners.

We are pet friendly and allow one dog to accompany you on your stay with us. The only thing we ask is that you pick up after your pup.

One of a kind property – unique, quaint, comfortable. All the amenities you need for a relaxing visit.

Some of the owners favorite things about Cedar Key:
*Fishing with CKP Charters.
*Walking the Dennis Creek Trail over at Shell Mound
*Driving the 9 mile loop trail at The Lower Suwannee Refuge and looking for alligators
*Heading out in the kayaks – take a picnic and head to one of the islands & look for shells or bring the fishing gear and catch dinner
*Live music at all the various establishments in Cedar Key
*Enjoying a nice glass of wine on the deck and watching the sunset
*Did we mention fishing???

Host was awesome, we had a last minute emergency and they let us change our dates without any penalty. Location is very nice, parking is tight but I was still able to park my lifted long bed Chevy 2500 HD. If you have multiple cars you will need to shuttle down to the municipal parking. Kayaks and bikes made for some great fun getting around the Island.

Relaxing get away

Everything was just as advertised if not better. Such a serene setting, just what we were looking for. Cedar Key still has some hurricane recovery to complete but we still found places to eat and lived the Tiki Bar within walking distance
