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.

Come and experience the magic of Cedar Key at Pete's Retreat - we hope to see you soon.
