About this property

Waterfront Riverview Cottage directly off St. John’s River with 2 docks & views!

We want to share our little slice of paradise with you! We started this adventure when we found this river side cottage that needed a little TLC. We took the plunge and did a complete renovation from the ground all the way up to the tongue and groove ceiling. The home is a 3-2 featuring an open floor plan with a small kitchen, cozy living room, screened in back porch, two docks, and is located at the beginning of a canal with a beautiful view of the St. John’s River. Located just 20 minutes to Lake George, 30 minutes to Salt Springs, and 40 minutes to Silver Glen Springs by boat. The closest public boat ramp is 2 miles away by vehicle and 5 minutes by boat. There are 2 boat rentals within 15-20 minutes and great restaurants and bars by boat or car. Whether it’s a quiet weekend to disconnect from every day life, spending some time on the lake with your family and friends, a fishing trip with the guys, or all of the above, we hope you enjoy your stay at the Riverview Cottage.

Check out our Instagram page @TheRiverviewCottage for more photos, renovation journey, and trip inspiration!

Please enjoy the entire home, screened in porch, and two docks to pull your boat up to and tie off of, and garage for storage. The boat lift is not available for use but is moved up out of the way so you can tie your boat off in the boat slip. There is plenty of room to park multiple vehicles and boat trailer(s) in the driveway and parking platform at the top of the driveway. Access to the home will be through a code to the front door that will be provided for contactless check in.

The home is kid friendly and equipped with a pack-n-play, toys, and bumbo seat with tray for meals available for use.

Please note the driveway down to the house is slanted as well as a step down from the back porch to the grass and a slanted walk down to the dock. There is no fence lining the seawall blocking access to the water.

House quirks: Please also note the ice maker in the freezer makes ice but does not release ice through the exterior drop down but can be scooped out from the interior of the freezer or utilize the ice cube trays that will be available.

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! We look forward to hosting you soon!

Great location for a short stay!

The house was beautifully remodeled and decorated, very clean! Love the waterfront location, there was only one dollar general nearby so definitely stock up before you come. My only complaint was we couldn’t find trash bags and anywhere, other than that, all was great!

Moving our son

We moved our son from Va to Fl over Memorial Day weekend and wanted to be close to his new home. The Riverview Cottage was charming and only 25 minutes away. The screen porch became a daily place to unwind and watch the occasional alligator swim by. We comfortably played cards around the kitchen table and enjoyed spending time together. The living room TV went out and the gracious host, Ashley immediately had a new TV sent the next day! We were all very comfortable and I would definitely recommend the Riverview Cottage to anyone

Peaceful location

Everything was perfect ! The owners communicate quickly if you have a questions. The house is clean and has everything you could need . The fact that you have access to Roku and other channels without having to sign into your own account was nice as most places make it difficult to watch any channels . This is definitely a perfect vacation home .

Location to River

House was cute - all amenities you could ask for, except for no grill. They do not list it as having one, but who doesn't offer a grill? Best feature was the dock and the view to the river. We had four jet skis and the dock was perfect!!! There are no waves in the canal and the view was great. We saw manatees, a gator (small - don't freak out, but who swims in the river anyway), and lots of fish jumping. Neighbors were friendly. Owner was very attentive if we had any questions. I would definitely recommend!!

Riverview Cottage - Great place!

We didn't want to leave! Cottage was clean and everything as pictured. Keyless entrance..very easy. It was comfortable quiet and the river just steps from back door. We celebrated Christmas early and even took a Christmas tree. Plenty of towels, even though I took my own, there was coffee, salt & pepper. Shower gel and shampoo! I loved the black makeup towels. I don't know what it looked like before the remodel but it is beautiful. A place on the river that is like a modern condo, decorated beautifully. I loved it smelt so you when you entered and loved the big farmers sink. The stove was a challenge for me as I had Never had used an induction stove but the owners responded immediately instructing me how to use it. I will definitely go there again. We went to Renegades on the river for lunch and it was wonderful. Great service and food. A must if you stay in this cute cottage. I highly recommend this Cottage. I have friends interested in it also just from seeing my pics on FB. #riverviewcottage. So book this place you won't be sorry. Take your boat if you have one. You will have a great time even if it's a just a couple nights!
