great site
The stay was great. The complex was quiet; however everyone we talked to was very friendly. The river view from our unit was wonderful. Nice to be able to get up everyday with that view. Our hosts, Gary and Traci were welcoming and quickly responded to our questions. The unit was well cared for and suited our needs. We had a wonderful time!

This property is tucked away against the river, with access to larger shipping areas a short drive away. The third floor view provides a beautiful vista all day long but especially at sunset.
The owners are extremely helpful and responsive assisting with any issues that may occur during the stay.
The condo has all modern appliances and fittings with TV's throughout the house for every occasion.
I highly recommend this location to families for an extended stay or even a beautiful weekend away from the noise of the city.

Relaxing Riverfront Escape
This is a great condo to come home to after a long day out on the river or at the nearby springs/forests. It's nicely furnished, well equipped, and has a good view of the St. John's River. The unit includes a boat slip and if you don't have your own boat, there are a couple of rental options nearby. The community is very quiet and is well kept. There are a couple of swings overlooking the boat docks and a nice pool. The unit's wifi can support WFH in case you need to catch up on work emails during your stay. The condo's light switches/vertical blind controls are a challenge to use and it would be nice to see better quality pot/pans/cooking utensils in the kitchen. Overall though, it's a great place that I plan to return to.
