About this property
On the edge of town, a place to call your own
Charlene’s Retreat is a thoughtfully renovated 2-bedroom home with a cool vintage vibe and modern comfort. Sleeping up to 5 guests, it features a bright open layout, enclosed sunroom, and large yard perfect for pets or boat parking. Located less than a mile from downtown Cedar Key and a half mile from the Tiki Bar, this cozy retreat is tucked into a quiet neighborhood—ideal for relaxing after a day of exploring the island.
🛋️ Interior Charlene’s Retreat offers a bright, cozy layout with an open floor plan and cool vibes throughout. The main bedroom features a queen bed, while the second bedroom has a full bed. Up front, the enclosed sunroom includes a twin daybed with a twin trundle, perfect for flexible sleeping arrangements or just lounging with a book.
The living area comfortably seats five with a sofa and two chairs, and the open kitchen comes fully stocked with everything you need to prepare meals. Enjoy casual dining at the four-top dining table. The bathroom includes a tub/shower combo and is easily accessible to all bedrooms.
The enclosed back porch adds bonus space to relax and unwind, and also houses the washer and dryer.
Note: This is a super cute, fully renovated manufactured home. It’s comfortable, clean, and charming—but we want to be clear about what kind of home it is so guests can book with confidence.
🌳 Exterior, Yard & Parking Charlene’s Retreat sits on a big lot with a large grassy yard, great for pets or tossing a frisbee. Please note the yard is not fully fenced. There’s plenty of parking space for vehicles—and even room to park your boat. The home is single level, with four steps leading up to the front porch.
🔑 Listing Access Guests have full access to the home, yard, and laundry facilities. Self check-in is available with a smart lock for convenience.
🤝 Listing Interaction We give guests space to relax but are available by phone or message for anything you need during your stay. Located on the island we are here if you need us!
🏝️ Neighborhood & Island Info Charlene’s Retreat is located in a peaceful neighborhood just a block off Hwy 24 on the way into town. You’re less than a mile from the shops and restaurants of downtown Cedar Key in one direction, and just a half mile from the beloved Tiki Bar in the other. It’s a quiet and convenient base for exploring the island.
🚗 Transit Most guests arrive by car although you can also arrive by boat or plane! Golf carts and bicycles are popular ways to get around Cedar Key and can be rented in town. There’s ample space at the home to park both cars, trailers, boats and golf carts. Note that due to the location of the property all golf carts must be street legal, other carts cannot travel on the highway.
