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.
