About this property

This beautiful riverfront house is situated on the banks of the Santa Fe River with a private dock. The property is located in a wooded waterfront community with its own boat ramp on the Santa Fe and dock to the Ichetucknee river. This area of the Santa Fe is perfect for swimming, tubing, canoeing, kayaking, snorkeling, fishing, and boating. Yes bring your boat and tie-up at our private dock. There are also 4 kayaks and one canoe on the property for your use. Upstairs includes two bedrooms,one queen and one full, two baths one with claw foot tub. Great room and fully stocked (not food)kitchen and large outdoor deck with grill. Downstairs: Great room with day bed and Queen bed, washer dryer and full bath and screened in porch. Satellite , WI-FI and lots of DVDs and games in the house.
Please note that we are on a river that sometimes rises. At time the water will be high enough that in covers the dock and is well up into the back yard. We actually love it like this as the water is clear, clean and beautiful. You can still bring a boat up into the yard and have full river access for the canoes and kayaks. We recently fenced in about an acre of the property which makes it great for anyone bringing their dog/dogs.

A gem in FL

The property and house were quiet and cozy. The deck, yard, pavilion, and river were the stars of the property--AMAZING. Access to kayaks and a canoe was wonderful. In addition, the location was close to many parks with natural springs. We were there for Spring Break and really enjoyed our vacation. No complaints.

Perfect Location!

We loved the setting of this home. It is right on the river and the property is entirely fenced, which was amazing for our dogs. We enjoyed making use of the onsite kayaks and caught a few fish! However, we did feel that the home itself could have been cleaner.

Most Beautiful Yard

We had an amazing stay! We loved sitting on the porch and watching the birds eat from the bird feeder. Kris was a great host and made sure to have everything we needed!

I Could Live Here Forever

We had an excellent stay! The communication was awesome and checking in was a breeze. The instructions and communication prior to arrival were complete and clear. The property is super clean and stocked with basic necessities and even more. However, the most important, the location is way better than what is in the listing description, what a paradise!

Enjoy nature in this postcard perfect cabin

This place was a cozy cabin in a beautiful setting. The kitchen had everything we needed for making our culinary delights. We kayaked and fished on the scenic river. And enjoyed the peace and quiet while relaxing on the covered deck. Our dog had lots of fun running around the fenced in yard. There's also quaint little town not far with cute antique shops and restaurants.
