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!
