We had a wonderful stay at this vacation rental on the St. John’s River in Astor, Florida! The location was perfect and made it easy to enjoy everything the area has to offer. The house was very clean, comfortable, and accommodating for our group of six.We especially enjoyed spending time on the screened-in back porch — it was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the view. The convenience of having a boat dock right at the property was also a huge bonus for us.Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful River House!

Our family stayed here for Thanksgiving and it was absolutely wonderful! The house is beautiful and the location was perfect for us. We took our boat and explored the St. Johns River. We saw so much wildlife and the setting was tranquil and quiet. The house had everything we needed and was very clean and bright. The dock and patio were great places to hang out. We look forward to going back again!
