About this house rental

Welcome to Pete's Retreat, a historic vacation rental in Cedar Key! This charming Cedar Key style retreat is a trip back in time with modern amenities for your comfort. You'll have everything you need for a relaxing stay, including Wi-Fi, Dish Network TV (TVs are located in the living room, and master bedroom), 2 full baths with showers (one fully remodeled in 2023), a full-sized washer/dryer, three comfortable bedrooms (King, Queen, 2 Twins), a complete modern kitchen, and brand new duct-free AC/Heat units throughout.

Pete's Retreat is a lovingly restored work in progress, and its quirks add to its charm. Unwind on the original screened front porch, and leave the real world behind for a few days to enjoy the island's pace of life. We promise you'll make memories here at Pete's Retreat.

Load up your kayaks and bicycles, and come to the quiet nature coast of Florida. You can rent kayaks in town and have them delivered to the house, or launch your own from the nearby beach area sheltered by mangroves. The possibilities for paddling and fishing are endless in the backwaters or open Gulf waters of Cedar Key. Guests at Pete's Retreat have access to a nearby dock for fishing, which is shared by approximately six other units. Pete’s is a 10 to 15 minute walk to the restaurants, shops, and cafes of the village.

Please keep the house and yard free of litter and refrain from smoking inside or on the porch (the yard is acceptable for smoking). Unfortunately, we cannot allow RVs to be parked in the spacious yard. We love dogs and welcome one furry friend under thirty-five pounds with a $100 charge. You'll find doggie blankets for furniture coverings if needed.

We've been visiting Cedar Key once a year for 20 years now and I feel like we've stayed in half the houses on the island and most of the condos. But this little house is a favorite: comfortable, cute and quirky. It has that beautiful old-Florida look and feel, which we really appreciate, but enough modernization to still be comfortable for our family. Kids loved fishing off the dock, we all appreciated being able to launch our kayaks and getting to have the dogs there with us just made it all perfect. We will definitely be back

A very relaxing time! The cottage was clean, well equipped and very user friendly. We absolutely loved the porch and the gentle breeze we experienced throughout our stay. The town was not completely open as we were there during the week. We plan on returning someday.

We came for the Pirate Festival weekend. The location is within walking distance to all of downtown, which is nice. The property is cute & cozy. It could use a little updating in the furniture, as some of the wicker chairs are held together with tape...... The check-in is inconvenient, as you need to stop at the realty office to both pick up, & return, the key. We had 5 people staying there & they only have 1 key. Perhaps installing a lock box, for the key, at the actual property would be a great solution? Overall, we did enjoy our stay.
