Property details

Waterfront retreat on Julington Creek, just off the St. Johns River south of Jacksonville, FL. This spotless 2-bedroom, 2-bath river house features a 162-foot private dock, an open floor plan built around the water view, and restaurants within walking distance. Wall-to-wall windows in the living room frame Julington Creek as it flows toward the St. Johns River. Sink into the oversized sofa with your morning coffee, or watch the late-afternoon sun shimmer across the water. The large, open layout keeps the kitchen, dining and living areas connected, so the view is never out of sight. BYOB – BRING YOUR OWN BOAT The 162-foot private dock stretches out over the creek and includes a boat slip, so you can bring your own boat and make the dock your personal marina for the week. Head out for a day on the river, cast a line, or simply watch the sunset paint the sky and water in brilliant color. Trailering in? The public boat ramp at Tommy Hazouri Sr. Park is just 1.6 miles away. EVENINGS BY THE WATER When the sun goes down, gather around the outdoor fire pit and listen to the tide come in, or stay inside and keep the water view from the living room.

We really enjoyed our stay. The place was amazing and everything was perfect. The location is in the right place to reach different attractions in the area. We met some of the neighbors and they were friendly. This place is so comfortable and beautiful, I felt at home. Super clean, well stocked with anything you can imagine needing. Dock was clean with good seating around it. This house is beautiful inside and out. So cozy. Only thing missing is us not having more time to enjoy it. Whatever the star rating is, this place gets them all. Top notch, thank you for sharing your home with us. Truly blessed us tremendously. We are still so excited and pleased with our stay.
