We found this property to have some family time while in East Palatka for our nieces wedding. Such a comfortable home with ample space for visiting, the dock, the fire pit or around the large dining table or super comfortable living room

Sunrise and cocktail hour on the river

This accommodation exceeded our expectations. We could not have wanted a better place to hold our special galentine celebration. We got up early to watch the sunrises which were spectacular and we sat around a fire feature on the screen porch to have our cocktails. I wish we could have stayed more than four nights

River Elegance

Our stay at the river was amazing! We saw eagles every day! The house is so comfy and grand. The home is modern with kitchen and baths at today’s standards. Little things mean so much like hot chocolate with fresh whipped cream in the fridge. The bed was high and and very comfy. In fact, I think it’s the most comfy bed in all of my Vrbo rentals. The gas fireplace on the screened porch was the place to hang out day into the evening! We loved your house Sheila and we hope to return! Thank you so much!

Views for Days

This was one of the cleanest properties we’ve ever rented and the views from the house can’t be beat. Better yet, take a seat on the dock and you are immediately relaxed from life. I would suggest extra pillows for bedrooms and both showers had lack luster shower pressure which is never fun on vacation. We would definitely book again.

Beautiful

My family and I (5) stayed here comfortably. It was like home away from home. Spacious, open, clean and comfortable. The view of the water was beautiful from sunrise to sunset. The owner was incredible. The neighborhood was nice, and the neighbors were so sweet. Everything you need is there. Beds and furniture were very comfortable. The 3 bathrooms were very convenient. I just cant say enough. My niece (15) caught several catfish and we saw a few turtles .🐢 . We would highly recommend this place. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Stay!

We visited in April. This is a great quiet spot on the river for relaxing, fishing, and visiting with family or friends. Two king bedrooms with attached baths are perfect for 2 couples. The open floor plan allows for visiting while cooking and the screened porch allows for a bug free relaxation area. Furry family members will love the fenced yard. The owner is super with communication.
