The hosts were very accommodating. It was especially great to have them meet us at the property and review the home's amenities. They gave us suggestions based on our interests for activities as well. We appreciated not having to purchase anything other than our groceries!We stayed 2 weeks.We enjoyed walking and biking trails, some fishing off the back dock and golf. Great area if you're interested in fishing.Thanks for the stay!

The best vacation in a long time!
You couldn't ask for better host than Dwight and Jackie (sp) Place and grounds were top notch and we wanted for nothing. Everything was stocked for our stay and these folks genuinely wanted us to have a good time. Our grandkids were there for a couple of days and thoroughly enjoyed fishing from the dock and the boat rides in the little boat. Dwight even set up a little worm farm so they had plenty of bait! Entire yard was fenced so we didn't have to worry about our dog while he was out exploring , Fred also gives 5 stars as the treats that Dwight had provided were better than what he gets at home. Plenty to do in the surrounding area and you're on the St Johns within minutes in any direction and into Dunns Creek at the end of the canal. Great eats nearby too, try the 207 for home cooked, Corky Bells for great seafood, and Angel's Diner for great burgers. Cant say enough good things about this place, not one thing wrong! Grounds and house were beautifully maintained and decorated. We're going to re-book for next year as soon as we figure out some dates. Best Florida trip in many years! Thank you Dwight and Jackie!!

Great place to stay if you going fishing. Owners were wonderful about everything. The only thing you will to bring is food. The house has almost everything you need. We will be renting this house again.

Awesome stay!
We’ve stayed in many VRBO homes in the past 20 years and the “2 Boats” is one of the very best places! The hospitality, warmth and friendliness of the owners, Mr. And Mrs. Stone, is unforgettable! We fell in love with the beauty of their home and their place on the canal in Satsuma and plan coming back again!

We loved our stay at this home! Upon arrival, the first thing I noticed was the rather large yard with the property completely fenced so that we didn’t have to worry about our dogs roaming off. Entering the house was a breeze, it’s clean and incudes great amenities but you don’t feel like you’re worried about breaking anything. My favorites were the water dispenser that included a pet option with a bowl for your furry kids and THE LIVE WORM FARM for my husband to use while fishing. I haven’t even touched on the awesome dock located steps out of the back door. Great for fishing, relaxing and/or a trip on the lake with one of the available boats. Home is located near several springs, fishing spots and close to St Augustine; would highly recommend for singles or families alike. The host was extremely easy to work with and actually took the time to provide us with a lovely hand made, personalized etched wood souvenir. Will definitely book again!
