Ida Belle- Heart of Downtown! Historic Cottage

This property has been a 5 Star property under another account for years! Same owners, same management, new account--plenty of great reviews on request! Coastal Cottage in the heart of downtown Cedar Key! This historic home has graced 1st Street for 90 years. A classic Cracker home, there are two beautifully decorated bedrooms (one queen, one full) and one full bath. HGTV's Coastal Collection Paint highlights the vaulted ceiling, wainscoting and original doors. Recently uncovered heart pine floors glow with Cedar Key pride. Quality furniture, TVs, and mattresses/linens. The breezy wraparound front porch with locally made porch swing and adirondack chairs makes an ideal spot for people watching, reading, sipping tea, or just relaxing.
The Ida Belle Cottage was once home to Mrs. Ida Belle Davis, who raised her family here. Though Mrs. Ida Belle is no longer with us, her family continues to live and work in Cedar Key. When you enter the house, don't forget to look on the wall just to your left, a little tribute to the cottage's namesake is there for your enjoyment. A true Southern woman, she would want you to stay and be comfortable. Most of all, she would want you to see Cedar Key the way she did--from the little cottage on 1st Street.

This is a pet friendly unit for up to 2 dogs! Pet fee is as follows: Pet fee is $50 per pet per visit, 2 pet maximum. If you did not pay a pet fee on booking, please contact us immediately. Evidence of pets in unit without paying the pet fee as required will result in a penalty of $300 charge to your card on file. Please check with us on any other pets. We do require that pets do not get on bed or furniture. Please do not leave barking dogs in the unit. Please pick up after your pet when outdoors.

Rate Notes: A 3% Credit Card Fee will be Applied

After the storm
It is amazing how recovery from the 2024 hurricane the town is. This house still could use some finishing touches given more time. We were comfortable. I would recommend better towels and a coffee table in the living room. Great location

Wonderful Place to Stay
We loved this cottage and all of its history. It is the most relaxing place I have ever stayed. Cedar Key is beautiful and the people are very friendly. This home has everything you will need and more, clean, easy to walk to all areas on the island. We rented a golf cart and had so much fun finding little places of interest. We will be back!

Cedar key is coming back
We have been coming to cedar key for almost 20 years. We visited about 6 weeks after the hurricane went through. It was said to see the horrific damage done to some of the properties but many were being worked on. Only a couple restaurants were open and we frequented them. I’m sure when we return in a couple of months, we will see even more progress
