About Stephen whitney
My parents purchased this property in 1970. We grew up in the Indianapolis area, and vacationed at the florida beaches every year. On the way to Daytona one year we stopped by Halls fish house (now lighthouse), for lunch . My parents were very enthralled with the River and its beauty and decided to buy a place we could use as a base camp , not only to enjoy the River but within a reasonable distance to the beaches and attractions. As a result , we spent the majority of our time fishing ,boating , and exploring the River.

Why Stephen whitney chose Astor
The nature conservancy view is the same now as it was when I first saw it in 1970. We are in close proximity to Lakes Dexter and Woodruff, as well as Silver Glen, a clear water estuary and park off of lake George, popular with the boaters. Our rental is about 2 miles south of the drawbridge , meaning that the traffic and road noise are non-existent in our location. The only noises you will hear are from the boats and the abundant wildlife.
What makes this House unique
The benefits of our rental can be summed up in the easy access you will have to the st johns River, for fishing or boating. You can light the grill and enjoy your dinner while watching natures show from the screened porch. In the evening , the sun lights up the east bank of the River and what we call " the glow" appears. When night falls you will experience a incredible symphony of nature. Of course there are great restaurants nearby as well as the nightlife on the beaches just a half hour away
