Wonderful home and host! Communication speed, helpfulness, friendliness, and flexibility (early check-in, late checkout) was top notch. We were traveling with our 6 children and we felt at home the whole time of our stay. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

It’s gorgeous, clean and peaceful.It’s the kind of place I would visit again and again.The house came with a full spice cabinet and all necessary kitchenware which made it super accommodating and feel more like a home. Nice touch.There’s only one toilet, which was fine for my partner and I. The description says it sleeps 8, which it comfortably would, but that seems like a lot of people for one potty.Besides that, the place is a gem. Right in the river. We loved it.

Just right river home.

This is a sweet little home on an even sweeter piece of the St Johns River for couples to reconnect or bring their family. The sunrise on the dock with coffee and pastry starts every morning off just right! We love this place!

Perfect Escape

A friend and I met for a relaxing weekend. The back porch and lounge chairs are perfect for mornings enjoying coffee and the river. The quality of the linens, pillows, and bedding were appreciated. The kitchen was week-equipped and the water pressure was great.
