About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Located on the Santa Fe River perfect for boating & tubing on the Ichetucknee.

Making memories on the beautiful Santa Fe River. This large family friendly home offers 5 spacious bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a sunroom, a party deck, kid friendly activities, tubing on the Ichetucknee River, swimming off the dock or just relaxing in the jacuzzi. Make a morning trip to the boathouse and enjoy your coffee in the peace and quiet of the river. Finish your day cooking smores at the backyard fire pit.

Bring your own boat and cruise the Santa Fe and Suwannee River. Private boat ramp is walking distance from the house. Easy docking at our boathouse.

Located on the Santa Fe River, you can swim and kayak right off our dock. You are a short 10-minute drive from the Ichetucknee State Park which host beautiful spots for swimming, tubing, paddle boarding and hiking. The house is located in one of Florida's best natural spring areas. It includes Ginnie Springs (a private park with over 7 springs and miles of riverfront), Blue Springs State Park and Poe Springs.

Plenty of seating in both the dining area and living room for a large gathering. If you are a puzzle person, find a seat at the game table and help us finish a puzzle. If you are looking for some real downtime, this is the place to be. At night watch the deer feeding in the front yard and in the morning the manatees and otters playing at the river. The only sounds you will hear are the crickets and frogs talking to each other.

Lazy River Family Vacation
Plenty of room for the entire family (11 of us total with more beds to spare). Great location on the river. The access to the private section of the Itchetucknee was EXTREMELY nice! Kids enjoyed the slide at the dock, and the hot tub was a nice option as well.

Amazing riverfront VRBO with fun tubing run!
We loved our stay at this VRBO on the river! The location was perfect and the accommodations were spacious and well-stocked. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and playing games. The tubing run was a highlight of our trip – so much fun! The host was responsive and helpful. We highly recommend this VRBO for a relaxing getaway.

Great home and location!
We had an amazing time at this property! The home is very spacious and has plenty of beds for a large gathering of family and/or friends. Our favorite part of the trip was included access to the private park for tubing down the Ichetucknee river. That amenity alone is priceless. We will definitely be renting this house again in the future.

The overall stay was wonderful. The location allowed you to swim right off the dock or tube down the river from the private parks within the subdivision. Plenty of sleeping for a large group. Lots of extras for entertainment such as indoor & outdoor games, hot tub. Very nice.

What an amazing getaway!
I cannot recommend this place enough times ! It was so peaceful and awesome; the place was so cute and me and my friends had a wonderful weekend floating in the river and just enjoying each others company. Deb was an amazing host and answered any questions we had or needed assistance with something. I will now consider this a vacation place for me and my soon to be husband! Thank yall so much!!

Very Relaxing!
This home was perfect. I had 7 teens with me and they never once said they were "bored". They stayed busy inside and outside and didn't want to leave when it was time to go home. The house offers all the comforts of home and the owners were very welcoming. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful river house
We had a group of 10 that stayed here for a long weekend. Plenty of space and fun activities. Debbie met us at the house for check in and to share details of the property. We fished off the dock and played games they had set up at the house. We usually tube the State Park but Debbie told us about the private access tubing and we spent the day there. It was a beautiful run and less crowded than the state park. Would definitely book again!

No need to leave property :)
First more than anything, the host goes above and beyond from the convenience items to communication. Very generous check in and ck out times compared to over 50 I have stayed at in past years. Rooms huge! There is so much to do at house itself or just relax looking outside. Private Itcheetucknee tubing awesome, saves the walking all the way at the state park. Already planning another visit. This is my new annual spot as I go every year.
