About the host
Hosted by Vicky
The Stanley Family River House was Est. in 1955 by our grandparents and has been handed down through 3 generations and now is in the care of the 3 Grand Daughters. We have done a big renovation with many updates while leaving as much of the old characteristics as possible and we would like to share our beautiful family home with our guest.
Why they chose this property
Our family home has been handed down for 3 generations starting with our Grandparents then our parents and now the 3 granddaughters and will continue to be handed down for many years to come. We love our family home because it is nestled along the beautiful banks of the St Johns River where we enjoy family get to gathers, boating, fishing and shrimping.
What makes this property unique
Our family home is located in a safe and beautiful environment. We love sitting on our covered porch drinking our morning coffee while watching the beautiful sunrises and spending our evenings grilling with the beautiful river scenery and family conversation.
