Maintenance and upkeep

The property was very beautiful, very quiet, very relaxing and very spacious however, Six bedrooms and only two baths made it a lot difficult for 16 people, but we made it work. Please consider adding additional bathroom or two as far as outside maintenance, the building could use pressure washing screen door screen was tore pet door missing and one screen doors in operable picnic bench was broken when we arrived, no crabs were biting, but we had a great time and enjoyed the Facilities.

Mother’s Day Gathering

We arrived easily to the property and everything was very clean. The owners thought of everything and we had all the supplies we needed. The river was fabulous and the kids really enjoyed the swings and the pool. We had amazing weather and the owners were easily reachable and responded immediately to our questions. The room set up was great and allowed plenty of room to spread out and enjoy our trip. Will be back again next year for sure.

Best Birthday little getaway ever

Stayed here for a birthday weekend with some friends and family and it was nothing short of perfect. Loved every second of it. This was actually my third time staying at this house and did not disappoint. Pool was a perfect addition and everything was so clean. Owner was so responsive and accommodating! Will definitely be going back again! Thank you so so much!

Do not book this property.

When we arrived the pool was green. We contacted the manager on Sunday morning and she said someone would be out to service the pool Monday morning. I said that the time frame is unacceptable. Was told the first available time for a pool person is Monday morning. Didn't show up on Monday morning, the manager then said 2:00 Monday afternoon; didn't show up. The manager then said Tuesday. The outdoor sitting area is filthy and I mean filthy. I wouldn't think of sitting on it. The pictures online of the pool and sitting area are not even close to reality. Throughout our stay we had very poor communication with the manager, she would not respond sometimes for days. This is unfortunate because, for the most part, this is a beautiful property. We ask the furniture outside be cleaned. The manager would not respond. It doesn't matter how beautiful most of this property is to have to deal with the parts that are not. This property is poorly managed to say the least. This is bait and switch for sure. They show one way online and it is not close to the real looks when you arrive.

Rude people

Me and my family stayed here a couple weeks ago. My sister brought her dog, which we paid a 50 dollar fee for. When we got there it is very pretty on outside. Downstairs in the garage area that they made into a space for the pontoons and hang out spot was a mess. My mom and her husband cleaned it all out with a broom and leaf blower. The outside furniture cushions were so dirty, which I get to an extent because it is outside. When we went swimming, my mom stepped by the pool to bring us floaties, and she got attacked by a bunch of tiny ants. The pool was not clean. All my kids and a couple adults got rashes after being in the pool. There is a bench by the pool that has a bunch of bugs inside of it. Boat outside was filthy with trash all in it. There is a hole in one of the canoes. Most of the rooms were okay, but my daughter found crumbs in her bed where the bunk beds were before she even slept in the bed. Half of the TVs didn’t have remotes to them and the direct TV only worked some of the times. Most of the board games, had missing pieces so they should just throw them games away. The dishwasher only works on the bottom half. The laundry room door was off track when we got there and kept opening. A couple of couches are breaking down and are super worn out. Last but not least, The manager of the house is not professional and very rude, and a liar.

Multiple Family vacation

We had our first whole family vaccinations to this beautiful place. There was more than enough room for our group of 8 adults and 6 children. The kids enjoyed the pool while we lounged on the near by screened in porch. We seen a manatee leaving the near by creek daily with the out going tide. At night we enjoyed take a bright flash light out and looking for alligators from the dock. There were 3 small ones near by that kept their distance from us. With the fully equipped kitchen we were able to cook breakfast lunch and dinner everyday. The closest grocery store was about a half hour away; Along with wal-mart, Big Lots, Win Dixi, Public’s and so much more. We drove 90 minutes to De Leon springs. The kids enjoyed swimming in the spring and we enjoyed fishing from the nearby dock. We also drove to St. Augustine which was about an hour. We played the games provided by the house each night after dinner. The neighbors were friendly. We would definitely stay here again.

Spring Break Refresh

We enjoyed this expansive property. We enjoyed the docks and the canoes. The kids swam each day that we were there. The pool was clean and inviting. There was plenty of space for entertaining inside and out. We did have family visiting and would have been nice to have access to a restroom without having to climb stairs. We enjoyed using the outdoor grill and watching the sunrise. This location was remote but still had a store close enough in case you needed something essential. Overall our family enjoyed the property and our stay. There is nothing like the Florida sun for spring break. Thanks for helping us make family memories.

Great stay!

Property was awesome for a family of fisherman. Only issue was boat ramp. We had no problem putting boat in but then it rained and ground was wet. Talked to a local and he said public ramp down the road won’t work for our boat because the t top in our boat was to high for bridge. So we kinda got stuck a little . But managed to get boat out. Very nice property nice and quiet close to saint Augustine. Would definitely stay there again.

Family Vacation

The property was as described in the listing. We had a great time. The only down side is the distance to get to places to visit. It was a full hour to get to St Augustine and a little more than two hours to the Kennedy Space Center. There is a lot to do on the property but not much nearby if you want to sightsee.

Great property

The house was great but unfortunately we were there through the hurricane. The dock was flooded so hard to use and the back yard was flooded so couldn't use the firepit. I was a little disappointed we didn't get any money back because we couldn't use the pool until it was cleaned following the storm. The property is beautiful and a great place to get away. I would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly Doyle

In July 2019 we purchased this property to have a private getaway for ourselves and family to relax, go fishing, crabbing, shrimping or visit one of the many attractions and activities that are in and around the area. The home is easily accessible from the Jacksonville International Airport which has been ideal for us to fly in, grab a rental car and be poolside within an hour. We have been on a mission to update and upgrade the property with big projects being completed each year and smaller projects every time we visit when possible. Big projects completed thus far: EXTERIOR - Installed Pool, Pool Deck & Completely Fenced the Area; Screened Back Porch, New Furniture in lower screened porch; New Grill; Installed Solar Lights on Long Pier; New Table, Chairs, Umbrella & Rug for Concrete Patio; New Swivel Rocking Chairs and Rug in Screened Porch off Dining Room; New Furniture on Front Porch; New Hammocks & Swing in yard; Built Beer Pong Table.

Projected New Updates: Ceramic Tile Floors in Bathrooms Fall 2022; New Fire Pit; Raised Walk Way to the Long Pier; New Roof. Soon will be going solar as well.

Why they chose this property

We saw the potential to make this a relaxing oasis not just for us and our family but for all who may visit and/or vacation here at the River House. The gorgeous sunrises are mazing over the water. The bonus plan for us was to see the manatees swimming under the piers and at the water's edge. The property also boasts 780 feet of water frontage on the St. Johns River which is the Best Bass Fishing in America.
