A Quiet Town with a Fishing Problem. Great Way to Avoid Hotel/Motel Crowds!
Sleeps 6 comfortably with 3 king beds. Additional two couches for additional guests. My Grandfather bought this property in 1966 from the mayor of Daytona Beach. It was two lots with a two bedroom wooden home and a cinder block garage. In 2007 my father demolished the old home and built a beautiful two story river home, it is located 30 miles from Daytona Beach and 90 miles from Orlando. Dual stall covered boat lift for boats. One slip is available, additional slip is $50 per day. A great getaway for peace and quiet. Wet a hook or take a nice tranquil boat ride. The home is strictly a vacation home with never a permanent resident. It is very pristine and still looks brand new. 30 and 50amp camper hookup in the driveway. Additional $100 per day to hookup. All vacationers have been very impressed, commenting that my amateur photos do not do justice! Service is my main concern, I want to exceed all vacationers expectations! Great attractions to enjoy: World's Most Famous Beach(Daytona Beach) 10 miles from Volusia Speedway 30 miles from Daytona Speedway Daytona 500 Coke 400 Bike Week Biketoberfest Kennedy Space Center Disney World Universal Studious Animal Kingdom Sea World. 20 min boat ride to Silver Glenn Springs

Absolutely loved location and home site.......having said that, the property advertised sleeps 8 but when we got there we realized there were only 3 beds, no sleeper sofa.....two seniors were not comfortable having to sleep on a couch and on floor......Water location was great and home very spacious.....would go there again if we only have six people......
My brothers and I stayed at this home for a fishing getaway and it was absolutely perfect. The home is located directly on the St John’s River with access to great fishing. It has a covered boat dock and lift. The house was extremely nice and comes equipped with everything you need. The home owner was proactive with the questions we had, he always responded quickly and was very polite. The entire experience was great, look no further, this is the house. We will be back. Thank you.
This is our 4th or 5th stay at this VRBO property located on the shores of the St John's River. Spacious, well maintained and extremely comfortable. The boat dock and lift are the high points if fishing is your primary activity. We caught catfish, crappie, bass, blue gill, shiners, warmouth and of course an occasional gar using live minnows off the dock. Great place to stay if you want to relax in a small fishing village and enjoy the sunshine.
Love this home right on the river. This area has so many recreational opportunities. Many state and federal parks that offer kayaking, fishing, hiking and picnicking. We also set a couple of days aside to just fish off the dock at the home. Highly recommended rental. A beautiful home for a very reasonable price. Thanks to our host David. Cheers!

Great house and great location
The house and location are great. The dock setup is amazing and welcoming
Always a wonderful and relaxing stay! The house if very comfortable and well stocked. The shaded screened porch and yard makes for a very relaxing outside experience, including the hammock! The dock is wonderful as well with shaded swings and furniture.
Property was right on St Johns River with an excellent dock and boat lift. House had everything needed for a getaway with the convienient home like feel. This was our second stay and would come back again.
