Great rustic little place right on the St. John’s river! The view was out of this world and the cottage was perfect!

We had a wonderful time. Communication with the owner very pleasant and prompt. Very helpful with the only small issue we had (Wifi). Check in - check out process easy. Neighborhood and property very nice. We would highly recommend this place unless you are looking for the latest and greatest.

Very charming bungalow on the St John's River. The host was very helpful and checked in on us after a bad weather cell went past us to see if we needed anything. Shed on property had all sorts of goodies to use like a fishing pole, cast net, bikes, toys for kids (we even added some more beach toys) There is a kayak which easily slides in to the river from the sea wall and can be hauled back up with the rope and a ladder to get down in the water which is not very deep to the end of the docks. I highly recommend taking the St Augustine trolly tour during your stay, we did and it was wonderful. We WILL be back next year! Thank you for a wonderful getaway!
