Wonderful, well-furnished and outfitted property, and very responsive and helpful host. After a day working on our boat, we have enjoyed a cocktail after dinner sitting on the Governors Creek dock watching the sunset. On our first night we had a mommy and baby manatee grazing along the dock, very cool. The hosts mentions in the property description that if you do not like trains, do not book here. We enjoy the charm of trains and find that they have been fairly infrequent, and the 0730 has been my late alarm clock, kind of like My Cousin Vinny :-). We have been visiting GCS for five years now where we store our sailboat and will definitely try and book here in the future!!

Beautiful home on Governor’s Creek/St. John’s River. Located on the water with your own private dock, equipped with kayaks, bikes, ping pong, foosball, and darts. A great place for a family gathering or a romantic getaway. It’s only about 30-40 min from Historic St. Augustine, FL, and the beach. If you love to fish, boat, or just chill and grill, this is your spot. It has a nice fire pit outside, too. The home comes fully equipped with all cookware/dishes/washer & dryer and linens, all nice and clean. We enjoyed our four night stay. I loved having coffee on the dock, watching the sunrise and the sunset. Most of all, I loved all the manatees. It was just perfect. A million times better than staying at a hotel. We will definitely be back.

Amazing and beautiful!

This was our second time staying here because we loved it so much the first time. If you love fishing, Kayaking, biking, sunrises and sunsets this is the place. Its quiet and peaceful minus the train that comes by every so often, but I enjoy it. The owner is super nice and is always available when needed. We will always come back here to visit.

Relaxing view on the water

We loved our stay with perfect views. First thing we did was go to the water and saw mantees and a baby gater. Kayaking was awesome and very peaceful. The owner was very attentive and always got right back with us when we needed anything. We will definitely be back.

Magical peaceful view in a quiet neighborhood

We loved the quiet neighborhood (though a train runs right by - but didn't really bother us). The views from everywhere out back and on the porch were very relaxing. We loved being able to throw the kayaks easily in the water. We went 1 or 2 times every day we were there. Had it been cooler we would have definitely enjoyed the fire pit. Amazingly enough there were little to no mosquitos or gnats which surprised us being right on the water. Great stay!

Family time

We thoroughly enjoyed our time on this property! Layout was perfect for playing games as a group… There were nine of us as well as the dartboard, ping-pong table, and foosball tables in the garage. We were all able to sit in the living room to watch anything on TV. It was lovely having a fire pit and a beautiful beautiful view of the cove. Highly recommend this property for a getaway! The host was quick to respond to anything we . We would definitely stay here next time we are in the area!

Very cute home. It was clean and mostly upgraded. The downstairs shower drain held water but probably just needed cleaning. The train in the back of the property did run a few times during the night but we eventually had to laugh when that happened. Made some great memories.

Better than expected!

Even better than the pictures online! A nice size quaint home with the most beautiful relaxing backyard view. And even though it rained most of the weekend, we still loved it! Great sitting areas for conversation, a ping pong table for competition, the railroad trestle and trains for excitement, and God’s beautiful creation of Spanish moss, lily pads, water, and trees right outside the back door!

So Relaxing!

Our stay here was amazing. We had 7 of us spending 4 days in town for a family wedding and needed a place to relax and have a home base for kids and grandparents around wedding festivities and this was exactly that. The house was spotless and just as described. The kayaking was amazing our kids would have moved in and stayed, and Fred is an amazing host, very responsive and supportive. We traveled from Vt with 3 kids, my mother in law and my wife’s 80+ year old grandmother, exhausted and we showed up and immediately relaxed and Fred had a bottle of wine on the table like he read our minds. Can’t recommend this place enough and look forward to visiting again!

Home away from home

Literally nothing negative to say. Beautiful home, beautiful view from the home, and the owner is an exceptionally friendly and accommodating host! We lost our home to a fire just before Thanksgiving and we have been jumping from house to house while they fix everything. This host worked with us on checking in early since we did not have anywhere to go. His home is impeccable and hands down our favorite house we have stayed in. We played ping pong, darts and foosball..we fished and just sat by the water relaxing. We will definitely be repeating our stay soon.

Just What We Needed

My husband I, along with our two kids, ages 14 and 9, loved The Kayakers Retreat! House was beautiful and had everything we needed for the perfect, relaxing vacation. We saw manatee, birds, and turtles each day as we kayaked the beautiful creek. Also enjoyed our nightly dart tournaments in the garage. House is in a quiet location but still close enough for quick trips to stores and restaurants. Property manager answered all questions promptly and helped us secure reservation. I would highly recommend.

Beautiful dog friendly water front property!

We celebrated my husband's birthday here. He wanted the following criteria: near water to kayak and near springs to swim, as well as a fire pit for a bonfire (men sure love their fires lol) We also needed to bring our small elderly dog with us. This property met all those requirements and more! Everyone has an amazing time! We waved at the trains passing by, enjoyed the dock, we even had manatees come RIGHT up to us to check us out!! We also saw a hummingbird! The owner/manager of the property was quick to respond, which was fantastic. Everyone in our 7 person group kept commenting on how lovely the property was, so you won't regret staying here. I highly recommend this location!

Good experience at Kayakers Retreat

Our stay at the Kayakers Retreat was a nice experience. We had plenty of room for six adults and two children under 12. Being able to sit on the deck and enjoy the view of the creek was nice. For two days in a row, we were able to watch three manatees feed next to the dock. A small alligator, rabbits, and squirrels were also observed. Kayaking on the creek was beautiful and having the kayaks and equipment on site was great! Our grandsons quickly made friends with some of the neighborhood children and had fun playing together. In addition, the garage had a ping pong table set up, which the boys enjoyed. As some other reviews have mentioned, the property is near the train tracks, but for most of our stay the trains passing by weren’t too bothersome. Overall, we enjoyed the property and would definitely stay there again.
