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!

Spotless and beautiful home away from home
The home was spotless and very inviting. The kitchen was very user friendly. We cooked outside one night and due to rain, we cooked and ate inside one night. Water views of the river, especially at sunrise were spectacular! The home included satellite tv but no cable stations. We would absolutely stay here again!

Had a great time on river fishing and playing games at night. House could use some better lighting as it is a little dark for older eyes. Loved our stay and looking forward to a return trip.

About the host

Hosted by Frank and Gina Walker

Host profile image
Frank and Gina Walker live in DeLand, FL, which is about thirty minutes away. We met at Stetson University, had to move away for work for twenty years but returned to this beautiful area about ten years ago. We have four grown children.
We clean our rental home ourselves and try to ensure that every family enjoys their stay as much as we have enjoyed it with our own family!

Why they chose this property

Astor is precious, a secluded bit of untouched Florida, which is difficult to find these days! The air is fresh from the river. A few days in the sunshine can calm the spirit!

What makes this property unique

The River House is south of downtown, far from the noise of the bridge traffic. To the north and south, on the river, are small islands that create privacy and calm the boat traffic. The river in our area is wide, and a state refuge runs on the opposite bank, so the view offers natural Florida at its best!
