Great get away!

Lake house blue is a beautiful, relaxing vacation house! It feels like you’re on a boat without the rocking. We absolutely loved our stay. No complaints. Dean is an excellent host. Easy to contact and responds quickly. The home is laid out perfectly and is well stocked for cooking your catch! We hope to return again sooner rather than later!

Best stay ever!

We have been staying at waterfront properties for 30 years, never the same place twice, so we have seen A LOT of waterfront properties. The decor of this place was over the top. hands down, best decorated house we have ever seen. The time and effort to create the best waterfront fishing haven is mind boggling. The hosts are attentive and responsive. The house is clean and well appointed. The accommodations are superb. They have thought of everything--luggage carts, fishing gear, crab traps, toiletries, firewood. It's worth every penny. We will return.

Wonderful Vacation

Lake House Blue was exceptional from check in to check out! We usually are vacationer on the west coast and saltwater fishing! But are very pleased with Crescent Lake and staying at this wonderful house 200’ down the dock. The overall decor was focused on many area of local interest. The amount of actual fishing flies that were placed around the house on the wallpaper and other decor is very impressive. And per my husband the dock for our boat was the best he’s seen. Would love to come back!

Unique Stay

This house was a cool place to stay on our vacation. Unfortunately, we tried to escape the cold of Ohio and got met with cold, windy weather, so we didn't get the chance to hang out outside or the porches as much as we would have liked. But, we did utilize the indoor fireplace which was nice and cozy. Location wise, there's not much nearby, but we were okay with that. We were happy to be away from busy cities and all the hustle and bustle. We would definitely stay here again.

Unique Experience

We’ve been staying at VRBOs for years, and this was definitely our favorite. If you love water views, this is your spot. We used to live on a sailboat and water views feed my soul. I happily made every meal the four nights we were there because of the bank of windows in the kitchen, I even enjoyed doing the dishes! The views are endless, and every room has windows with views.The decor is fabulous, we noticed new, interesting items daily. The dining room table is lovely. The beds are comfortable. The showers are exquisite, with multiple body jets. In a word, perfect. We will return.

Delightful Stay on the Lake

Had a lovely time. It was GF's milestone bday so wanted something special for her. This was it. Beautiful and unique on-the-lake-cottage. Beautiful sunrises, sunsets and moon over the water. Peaceful and tranquil. Put the boat in and tied up to the house. Cruised the lake and the St. Johns. Did some catch and release fishing right from the dock. I bought roses ffrom local florist or GF and Owners/Manager had them waiting for her in the cabin...super nice!

Best family get away to date!

The property was amazing and included everything you can imagine and need. From luggage carriers for the dock to a fully stocked shed with kayaks, boats, fishing equipment and more, to a fully furnished kitchen with every cooking appliance and tool you can imagine to make any meal! Stores are conveniently close and local restraunts like the 3 Bananas are a must to visit! You can park your boat right at the house as the boat ramp is less than a mile and the boat ties were an added bonus to ensure it doesnt hit the dock during storms. Sunrise and sunsets are splendid on the front amd back porches as is watching a storm on the lake from the 360 views of windows within the lake house! The decore is interesting and impecable as well as interactive to include books and board games that would suit anyones fancy! I highly recommend Lake House Blue for any get away! Our family thouroughly enjoied our time there and will be returning again! The owners go above and beyond to provide everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay!

Another wonderful stay!

Thanks again to the Ellis family for another wonderful stay at the Lake House Blue. We caught gar, bowfin, and skate right off the dock. Bill landed a 4 ft gar that was quite the challenge. The osprey pair were very entertaining. They had babies and were very protective, fighting off eagles and crows.. crazy! All in all, wonderful vacation. Relaxing and rejuvenating. We just love it! ...and you will too!

The whole Gamut

We had an absolute blast. From the bald eagle that flew over my head as soon as i stepped out of the car, to the nesting ospreys, the alligator (that changed our mind about kayaking), to the peregrine falcon that i watched catch a snake, to the plate fulls of blue crabs that we caught and ate, along with the catfish and pan fish that we caught off the deck and ate. We didn't know it was the Bassmaster elite tournament time. But my husband wound up talking to several as they practiced their skills around the house. And actually fishing around us once the tournament starting. The Mexican restaurants down the street a little ways we're authentic and yummy. Nearby Palatka offered us a fishing guide trip. The same distance the other way gave my husband the opportunity to go wild hog hunting. Sitting on the deck every morning with coffee and breakfast was an absolute joy. As well as marshmallows at night over the fire pit. An extremely well stocked kitchen allowed us to cook with ease. Follow the shade around the house when it got too warm for a 360° view. The owner was a pleasure to work with and even let us know of a space X launch that launched and we got to see. The sunrises were amazing. The house was in itself a treasure. In fact you could have a treasure hunt in it as there was something new to see with every scan. Thank you so much for a fantastic time. Chris and Annette

About the host

Hosted by Dean Ellis

Host profile image
Our family has used this lake house as our get away from it all escape from reality. We have been pressured for many years to rent this property so everyone can get to enjoy one of Florida's most hidden and unusual secrets. Henry David Thoreau said ' A lake is a landscape's most beautiful and expressive features' A lake with a house in the middle of it is nature as it's best. We are very sorry we can't share our Lake House Blue with Mr. Thoreau, but we are sure he would love it....

Why they chose this property

We bought this lake house because we wanted to get back to the old Florida of days gone by. This area has changed very little compare to other parts of Florida. Just 25 miles North in Palatka was as far south people came around the turn of the 20th century. The great people of that era names like President Grant, Mrs. Lincoln, wanted to see the wild Florida and all it's natural wonders. Palatka had as many 100 Paddle Wheel boats tied up at the city docks. Years later Babe Ruth came a couple of years and taught a base ball school. Highway 17 is the original highway to Florida as well as US1 on the East coast. These are the things that I saw when my parents brought me thru this area in the 1950's. It made a lasting impression on me and I get to enjoy this area today just like I was a kid again...

What makes this property unique

This is a one of a kind home with class, modern features, and a view from every window and door. Wildlife is all around and likes to show off for our guest. Bald Eagles,Osprey's, Ducks,Blue Heron's,White Egret's, even an occasional Manatee. This is just the beginning because every month has a different supply of nature's best. Come experience the wonders of nature at it best....
