About this property

Riverfront home in Branford on the Sante Fe and access to the Ichetucknee!

Nestled on the banks of the Sante Fe River, this lovely’s house boasts 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a loft with a bunk bed and an outdoor shower to rinse off when you're done floating down the river!

The primary bedroom has an ensuite bathroom that includes a jetted bathtub and separate shower with dual shower heads. Enjoy quite time on the private deck and enjoy the view from the tree tops.

The second bedroom has two queen beds, and the third bedroom has one queen bed. The third bedroom also has direct access to the back porch for a quiet cup of coffee in the morning or glass of wine at night.

This property offers a tremendous amount of space for guests to relax. It's easy to see why you'll be able to unwind at our place. Our dock travels between the trees all the way down to the river welcoming you to beautiful views. Our home comes equipped with tubes and kayaks, as well as access to the local park where you can launch from, just a 45 minute float from park to our dock. Of course, you are welcome to bring your own tubes if you like. Take a morning or evening walk around the neighborhood to experience some of the deer and other wildlife north Florida offers.

Rainy day? No worries, we are loaded with family board games and smart tv’s for movies and bingeing your favorite tv shows. We are in the heart of springs country with multiple springs within a 30 minute drive.
*Note regarding WI-FI: We are located in a wooded area on the banks of a river. Although we have the best WI-FI available to us, there are times it may go out! (We consider it another chance to unwind if it does happen.)
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great weekend of paddle boarding and tubing with the grandchildren. Loved that we could also bring the dog. Perfect place for a family getaway. Wished we had booked for the week. Really appreciated access to Leroy Brown Park to be able to drop in to the Ichnetuckee.

This was such a clean and spacious house. The water was low and clear we were able to relax in the water. The dogs were welcomed with no issues. We enjoyed a relaxing weekend with family and will definitely rent this house again.

Great property. Loved the dock and the river access. The private tube run is a must do. Beds were super comfy. Everything was clean. Fast internet. The only issue we had was the well water did have a strong smell of sulfur. I think we're coming back next year to spend some more time to enjoy the property.

This house was very beautiful and the location was great. The view was amazing. The host provided everything you need to have a good time without take having to leave all you need is food and drinks. Before we even left we were talking about returning in the summer. I would definitely recommend the house.

Don’t let the odd outside look of this spacious house fool you. It’s a 3/2 and a loft with bunk beds. The location is absolutely perfect. We floated from the state park all the way to the house —-3 hours! Call the ranger first to make sure it’s all clear. Otherwise use the key provided and float from the HOA park to the HOA gate about 40 minutes. The dock is amazing but you’ll have to hold a toddlers hand. There’s a little sand beach perfect for playing. We had a few hiccups, BBQ and towels but all was taken care of with a message. We had a great week!
