Beautiful River House!

Our family stayed here for Thanksgiving and it was absolutely wonderful! The house is beautiful and the location was perfect for us. We took our boat and explored the St. Johns River. We saw so much wildlife and the setting was tranquil and quiet. The house had everything we needed and was very clean and bright. The dock and patio were great places to hang out. We look forward to going back again!

New favorite place to stay

Our Hostess was so thoughtful to make sure we had a wonderful stay. The home exceeded our expectations and having nice tv outside so we could enjoy a football game while relaxing at the fire pit. If I could rate this higher than 5 stars would.

Great riverfront location.

We stayed here while visiting the area. Location was great right in the river. You could sit out on the dock and watch the boats go by or sit in the huge attached screened in porch and enjoy the evening breezes. The entire house is updated including a beautiful walk in shower. There is a huge sectional couch with built in recliners and a new 65” TV in the living room. It also had a washer and dryer which was very nice to have during our stay. There was a BBQ grill and even fishing poles if you wanted to try your luck fishing off the dock. There was also a carport which was nice because we were able to park our motorcycles underneath. We would definitely stay here again when we come back to the area.
