Dade City Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals

Dade City , home of the annual Kumquat Festival, is located in the rolling hills of eastern Pasco County. A quintessential small southern town, the focal point of Dade City is its’ original courthouse built in 1909, which is still used today for the county offices. Dade City’s economy is tied to cattle production and citrus farming, and it is the nation’s largest producer and shipper of kumquats, a small, tangy citrus fruit. The annual Kumquat Festival, usually held in late January, is a fun weekend of live music, arts and crafts shows, a farmer’s market, recipe contests and more. The Pioneer Florida Museum is also located in Dade City, the only museum of its kind in the state. Buildings, clothing and other artifacts of early pioneer life in Florida are on display in the museum. There are several golf courses located near Dade City, and other recreational opportunities include hiking and biking; swimming, boating, fishing and canoeing are available in nearby rivers and lakes. Dade City is considered part of the Tampa-St. Petersburg- Clearwater area, and has easy access to the area’s beautiful beaches and other attractions.
