Directly on a canal flowing from the St. Johns River, this amazing home offers a quiet waterfront getaway. Walk right out your back door and down the steps to access the private covered boat dock. Tie up your rig (there’s a public boat launch down the road), cast a line off the fishing deck, and keep an eye out for the small alligators that pop by occasionally.

Overlooking the water, a charming screened porch with ceiling fans offers a cool spot to unwind outdoors. Stretch out in a plush lounger or dine alfresco at the table for dinner with a view.

Beautifully updated, your hideaway features a spacious living area detailed with a smart TV and a DVD player, plus a well-equipped kitchen with a full suite of appliances. Rest easy in the well-appointed bedrooms - the primary suite wows with a spa-like bathroom, which boasts a double vanity, a soaking tub, and a separate shower.


The public boat launch is less than a mile away. Silver Glen Springs National Park is a 13.8-mile drive from your home and a quick boat ride away. A charming little town, Astor offers a great jumping-off point to Ocala (39 miles), Daytona Beach (38.5 miles), and Ormond Beach (31.4 miles).

The third bedroom has a twin-over-twin bunk bed and TV in addition to a queen bed.
