Beautiful home on the river. So relaxing and peaceful, we wanted to stay forever. Host was very easy to reach and very responsive. We had everything we needed in this home and it was not far to find lots of restaurants etc. The river and the property were beautiful. We definitely hope to stay there again.

Thanks so much for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you were able to relax and enjoy the peacefulness of the river… that’s exactly what we love most about the property too. It’s great to hear you had everything you needed and were able to take advantage of the nearby restaurants and local spots. It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime. Hopefully next time you can stay a little longer, just pretend bike week is 2 weeks instead of 1 😎
Beautiful location. Excellent hosts, very clean and very thoughtfully stocked. Had everything we needed for cooking. Bed was comfortable and the views from inside the home and outside were phenomenal. Excellent choice.

The sunrises and sunsets are the best but those foggy days are so cool too. Glad you guys enjoyed your stay ❤️
This is a quiet, peaceful, relaxing brand-new cottage just steps from the St. John's River. The live oaks draped with Spanish Moss give the property a laid-back feel where you can watch the river float by from your Adirondack chair. You will have no trouble relaxing here, and with any luck, your host Kelly will swing by with some freshly baked cookies right after your visit from one of the local manatees, herons, river otters or egrets. Ideal for a couple looking for a spot to hand out for a few days to decompress. Bring your next good book and enjoy!

Thank you so much for this beautiful review. I’m so glad you were able to slow down, relax, and soak in everything that makes this little spot so special. Those live oaks, the river views, and the occasional visit from our local wildlife really do make it feel like a hidden escape.
We’d absolutely love to have you back anytime for another peaceful getaway (and maybe a few more manatee sightings next time and cookies 😎
Quiet, peaceful setting with great views of the river. Great hosts that live on the 14 acre property. Did some shrimping off the dock and caught some large shrimp. Great place!

Thanks for your kind review. We’re glad you guys had a great time.
This area is the perfect get away for Floridians who are looking for old Florida. Clean and serene! Kelly also provided birthday cookies for my fiance which was incredibly sweet. there are many attractions around including historical St Augustine, Anastasia Beach, Rivne Garden State Park. Lots of food and stores around! We will be back.

Thank you for your detailed review. We’re so happy you guys enjoyed your stay and the surrounding areas. Palatka is such a charming town and close to many other bigger cities.
This was one of the best places and overall experiences I’ve had. The check in process was easy. Everything thing inside and outside was well taken care of. Everything was fresh and clean. Communication with Kelly was great. She answered messages very quickly. And the view from the Master bedroom over looking the river is priceless. Only complaint I have is I couldn’t stay longer. Will definitely be staying here again!

Thank you for your kind review. Glad you guys enjoyed our beautiful property and look forward to hosting you again.
The entire scenery from the start to finish is amazing. Then you walk inside to a home that is immaculate. Kelly was hospitable from start to finish. Just a warning.. if you get on the chaise lounge you’ll not make it to the bedroom because it’s extremely comfortable and the views are so dreamy. This will be my continued place of refuge

Thank you for your kind and detailed review. We happen to think our place is dreamy as well and are happy to share it with you and all our other guest. We look forward to hosting you again soon.
Breathtaking location with a beautiful and cozy little house. The pictures don't do it justice. Kelly our hostess gets a 10! She is amazing. Quite a wonderful decorator too. The house not only is beautiful but very clean. The WiFi sustains the TV but needs a booster if you want to use other devices. An easy fix. A special treat was Kelly's homemade chocolate chip cookies which she brought over for my birthday. We also were able to see manatees feeding on the bank of the river! We tried recording them but didn't hit the record button on our iPhone so Kelly sent us a wonderful video she was able to get after we left so we could show our grandchildren. What hostess does such things! We also saw an alligator and many beautiful birds and local wildlife. It's only a 35 minute drive to St. Augustine too. If you want an amazing secluded quiet place to recharge, this wonderful getaway is a must! It's practically perfect in every way.
