Beautiful house on the river

We came up from Tampa to look at colleges. This house was a beautiful home base for our stay. The river views are incredible and my kids had fun trying to catch fish. CR 13 is a quiet road and I enjoyed my morning run on it. Come here for a quiet retreat, knowing St Augustine is a quick drive away!

Amazing House and Host!!!

Let me start by saying that Tiana was an amazing host, she made sure we have everything and beyond to make sure we had a great trip. The house was better than the pictures do justice, extremely clean and well stocked with everything you would want. The sunsets are beyond amazing and great fishing off the dock. We hope to come back again in the near future!

Great river home on St. John’s river. Beautiful view, large property with dock. Big yard , all very well kept with beautiful oak trees. House was great, very clean and very well stocked.

Great place on St. John's River

We loved our stay here. Very well-stocked, huge fenced-in yard for our dogs, beautiful home and view, and 30 minutes away from St. Augustine and beaches. The cabana was a huge bonus with a nice full bath, large tv, and gym. This is the nicest place we have stayed on vacation and would highly recommend it.
