Spotless and beautiful home away from home
The home was spotless and very inviting. The kitchen was very user friendly. We cooked outside one night and due to rain, we cooked and ate inside one night. Water views of the river, especially at sunrise were spectacular! The home included satellite tv but no cable stations. We would absolutely stay here again!

Only disappointment was the water was not fishable due to vegetation which was not shown in online photos. Otherwise an enjoyable place, pleasant surroundings and very responsive hosts.

Just right river home.
This is a sweet little home on an even sweeter piece of the St Johns River for couples to reconnect or bring their family. The sunrise on the dock with coffee and pastry starts every morning off just right! We love this place!

Wonderful Riverfront House for Nature Lovers
We recently had the pleasure of staying at this fantastic house perfectly situated by the river. The location is a true paradise for nature enthusiasts. Right at the house, we observed alligator gar, manatees, alligators, ospreys, and owls. Just a two-minute walk from the house, we even spotted a black bear and a wild boar. The house itself is spacious and equipped with everything one might need for a comfortable stay. Gina and Frank were easily reachable and extremely kind and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking to immerse themselves in nature while enjoying all the comforts of home.

Had a great time on river fishing and playing games at night. House could use some better lighting as it is a little dark for older eyes. Loved our stay and looking forward to a return trip.

Astor river house
Had a great time at the Astor house on St. John’s river. House had everything we needed. We took the boat out everyday and had a very relaxing vacation. The owner responded to any questions promptly and offered additional suggestions. We hope to stay there again.
