About this property

River house with 2 boat docks

This perfect St Johns River house has a dock and boat slip on the river, then also has an additional dock with boat parking on the canal on the other side of the house. It has huge windows that over look the gorgeous river. A nice deck with a jacuzzi that you can relax in next to the river. Enjoy the sunset or go fishing right off the dock. Bring your boat and take a ride to the beautiful, clear springs right down the river. Silver Glen Springs and Salt Springs are both close by boat or car. This is a small, quiet town, yet close to many major attractions. Beaches and Daytona speedway are a 40 minute drive. Disney, Universal, and Sea World are just over an hour away. Please message us for any questions. We look forward to hosting you in our favorite getaway place.

We love the house and location. Unfortunately, there were cockroaches in the kitchen, and the hot tub was less than desirable to use. Only one side of the Jets worked, and it was not clean.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Feb, 2026
I am so sorry to hear this. We take all guest feedback seriously and we're very surprised to read this review. If you would have reached out, we would have immediately done anything to correct it. Our property has scheduled monthly pest control, and this is the first issue we have heard. We called and sent them out there as soon as we read your review. In addition, our hot tub is serviced weekly by a professional company and also thoroughly cleaned and chemically balanced by the housekeeper between each visit. We wish you would have contacted us immediately. We are always available and would have promptly sent both pest control and would have drained and refilled the hot tub for you. I send my phone number as soon as anyone books along with check in instructions and encourage anyone staying with us to reach out during their visit so we can resolve any issues quickly and effectively.

Great find in Astor FL

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this property on the St. Johns River in Astor FL. We went to an event at the Barberville Pioneer Settlement and the house was conveniently close by. We'll definitely stay again. Thanks!

Amazing Riverfront Cottage

Great location on the river. I’ve never been to the St. John’s River, so I was pleasantly surprised by our stay. The home was clean and had just enough of the basic amenities to allow the 5 of us to enjoy family time. Plus, there are two boat docks and the best view of the river. We loved it!

Awesome house on the St Johns

The house was well maintained and clean. I loved the view of the river from the living room. The house is located just a short boat ride from Lake George to the north and Lake Dexter to the south.

Daytona Beach Bike week 2025

Great location for a rally riding group. Location gives you a nice ride to Daytona beach about 35 minutes. Be mindful when properly manager tells you how to park your bike trailer … lol it’s tight ! Great location on the waterway and nice to get back from a day of crowd.

Wonderful stay. Quite, relaxing and great views from the Hot Tub. We had a problem where only half of the grill worked and the owner brought over a new grill in the rain and set it up for us. Thank you for a successful 40 th birthday celebration!

Fantastic Weekend

This home is perfect for a long weekend on the river with friends. Easy river access for out boat. House was very clean, comfortable, well stocked and being able to sit in the hot tub and enjoy the beautiful view and the boats passing by was wonderful. Host was very responsive, helpful, and answered questions immediately. Will definitely return when back in the area. Thank you!!

Right on the river

Lovely house right on the river. (Many other water-front rentals are on canals directly across from other property). A nice surprise was a large covered deck out back across the driveway looking at a quiet lagoon with birds, turtles, squirrels. Amenities were great. The only small thing to note is that, despite the online description, bring your own shampoo, conditioner and body wash. None provided. All other descriptions right on.Our pontoon boat was very secure in the dock slip. Beds were comfortable. A folding luggage holder would have been nice because, at least in one bedroom, there was no place to put the suitcase except on the bed or floor. Also no closet to hang clothes. Kitchen was well stocked. The house was very clean and well kept. This was a wonderful rental.

Birthday fishing trip

Absolutely loved staying here for a week! Conveniently located close to the boat ramp and a few of the local restaurants. This rental had everything we needed. We were specially excited about the boat slip at the house since we took our bass boat down with us. The view from the living room was amazing to wake up to every morning. House was clean. Living area spacious. Comfortable bed and pillows. Definitely planning on coming back here!

Great location

The unit had wonderful setting with two different docks. The checkin was simple and the unit was clean. The kitchen was small and the bathrooms were workable but just so. Enjoyed the hot tub and the screen porch. The biggest issue was just having a toilet set in the closet in one room and the shared shower downstairs even smaller than showers on most cruise ships. With all that would consider staying again because of the great location.
