About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Located on the Santa Fe River perfect for boating & tubing on the Ichetucknee.

Making memories on the beautiful Santa Fe River. This large family friendly home offers 5 spacious bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a sunroom, a party deck, kid friendly activities, tubing on the Ichetucknee River, swimming off the dock or just relaxing in the jacuzzi. Make a morning trip to the boathouse and enjoy your coffee in the peace and quiet of the river. Finish your day cooking smores at the backyard fire pit.

Bring your own boat and cruise the Santa Fe and Suwannee River. Private boat ramp is walking distance from the house. Easy docking at our boathouse.

Located on the Santa Fe River, you can swim and kayak right off our dock. You are a short 10-minute drive from the Ichetucknee State Park which host beautiful spots for swimming, tubing, paddle boarding and hiking. The house is located in one of Florida's best natural spring areas. It includes Ginnie Springs (a private park with over 7 springs and miles of riverfront), Blue Springs State Park and Poe Springs.

Plenty of seating in both the dining area and living room for a large gathering. If you are a puzzle person, find a seat at the game table and help us finish a puzzle. If you are looking for some real downtime, this is the place to be. At night watch the deer feeding in the front yard and in the morning the manatees and otters playing at the river. The only sounds you will hear are the crickets and frogs talking to each other.

This place has everything for a family vacation. It’s clean, comfortable and the hosts have thought of everything in between to make the stay fun and easy. The access to the springs is perfect. But honestly my favorite part was cooking a family dinner in the huge kitchen with my brother in law, puzzling late at night with the grandparents, and games with the kids nieces and nephews. This place was the perfect place to make memories.

Debbie is an amazing host! She’s thought of everything needed for an amazing stay on the river. The house is immaculate, the kitchen and grill area provides everything imaginable for weekend cooks and pit masters alike! The bedrooms generously accommodated our gang and the beds are super comfy. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the dock watching the river pass by and again in the evening with cocktails for the sunsets. Did I mention the house is pet friendly? Our labs thoroughly enjoyed the dock and enormous yard! We had a fabulous trip and look forward to visiting again!

Great get a way for big family group

This place is set up perfect for a big family gathering. We actually did not use many of the amenities because we attended a larger family gathering in a different location but it made us wish we had more time to play here! Great place at the end of the road. Quiet Enough to hear all the frogs and cicadas at night and watch turkey and deer cross the field in front of you as you sip your morning coffee.

Lazy River Family Vacation

Plenty of room for the entire family (11 of us total with more beds to spare). Great location on the river. The access to the private section of the Itchetucknee was EXTREMELY nice! Kids enjoyed the slide at the dock, and the hot tub was a nice option as well.

Amazing riverfront VRBO with fun tubing run!

We loved our stay at this VRBO on the river! The location was perfect and the accommodations were spacious and well-stocked. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and playing games.

Great home and location!

We had an amazing time at this property! The home is very spacious and has plenty of beds for a large gathering of family and/or friends. Our favorite part of the trip was included access to the private park for tubing down the Ichetucknee river. That amenity alone is priceless. We will definitely be renting this house again in the future.
