Hook, Wine & Sinker Cottage

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???

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

This is a very bright and fun property. The bed is super comfy. The bed is up a circular staircase and could be challenging for some. We appreciated that pets were welcome. So many sweet stores/restaurants at Cedar Key.

Awesome home’

Everything about this home was perfect! Everything they provided was first class from the Maytag washer and dryer to the comfy bed upstairs! The view of the water was beautiful! The spiral staircase was not a problem and we’re both in our seventies! Walking to the Tiki Bar was a real treat and so much fun! We will visit again!

The Good and the Bad ...

The Good: 1. Well-appointed property especially the kitchen. 2. WiFi worked flawlessly as it was used daily for at least two hours. 3. Very clean. The Bad: 1. Queen bed needs replacing, mattress sinks in the middle, not good for two slender adults. 2. Television did not work in family room ... no signal, even though I tried everything, including rebooting the receiver. 3. One bike had a flat tire. As an aside, be prepared to navigate the spiral staircase. Not for the faint of heart as it's like a ladder!

Not for seniors

As noted in the reviews, the circular staircase is formidable. Narrow in design and very difficult to get luggage upstairs. Our dog could not climb the stairs so I slept downstairs (very firm king pull out) and hubby slept upstairs, comfortable bed. Most of the Cedar Key hiking trails are closed due to the hurricane, and we were disappointed that the shell mound is closed and not accessible. We enjoyed sitting on the back deck and taking a boat trip over to the original Cedar Key Island. They drop you off and pick you up two hours later. We bushwhacked and found the graveyard from the beginning of the last century. It is a 5 minute walk to the cool and funky Tiki Bar. Do bring your food as the closest grocery store is in Chiefland. So sorry for the huge amount damage done by the storm. This house is in very good condition and escaped unscathed,

Great place!

Used the Yaks, Bikes, etc. Enjoyed the quiet and seclusion as none of the surrounding properties were occupied. Great eclectic artwork and nautical themed nick-nacks. We loved it. The style of the place and manner of decor remind me of our former property we jad listed on VRBO for years.

Great House, Wonderful Location

The house was great. Note the comments on the spiral stairs if you have mobility issues; it was tighter than ours at home but was manageable for us. They even had a steamer basket - buy the local clams and enjoy! The location was wonderful and an easy drive/bike ride to town and the waterfront area. We would definitely stay here again!

Cedar Key gem

We love this cottage…the new owners have maintained all the former charm, upgraded a few things and have thought of everything you’ll need for a pleasant stay. It has a quirky charm which will appeal to artists and nature lovers- lots of interesting touches/ art pieces. The circular stairway to the upstairs bedroom might be an impediment for some but there’s a sofa bed in the living room. You may think the neighborhood is a bit “ rustic” but it’s quiet and the house looks out on a back bay. We love that we can hop on our bikes and are a short rode to town. Lots of interesting and close by sights on foot, by bike, car or kayak. We’ll be back!
