Cottage Under Majestic Oaks Near The Banks Of The St Johns River-Pets Welcome

This was our second stay at this property and we love it. The cottage comes with everything needed for an extended, comfortable stay. The property owners are hospitable and available, yet give you privacy.

Rented June 13th - June 18th, 2022 I read the wonderful reviews of this rental and I was totally taken with the view of the sunset, boat house, dock and Saint Johns River. I should have studied the information provided more thoroughly. I expected to see the river from the rental....I was wrong. You can't see the river unless you walk through the owner's yard around his house to see the river. This isn't a short walk. I had informed the owner that I was bringing two older ladies with me, both needing the use of canes. The 81 year old went up the back porch steps to open the door for me to bring in the baggage. Before I got to the porch steps, she had tripped on another small step at the back door. She hit hard on her right knee and hit the center of her chest against the arm of a wooden bench. This step was not marked at the time. I pulled a wood chair in front of the step to remind us to step down. Owner said it was marked in the past. He has caution tape on the step now. There is another smaller step inside the house that should be marked as well. The air conditioning is first class, some of the furniture should be replaced except for the beds, they were good. The house was clean with clean linens but expect this to be what it is, an old Florida home, complete with wood cabinets who's drawers resist opening and no dishwasher. It's quiet with lovely moss covered trees but the overhead fans on the front porch didn't work. The Florida heat was brutal as it should be in June but we were not expecting 100+ degree temperatures. We left early on June 16th to take my friend home due to her increasing chest pain. B Baker Georgia

This is a beautiful area on the St. Johns river. The guesthouse is clean, comfortable and quiet with a screened-in front porch and a back deck. Great area for dog walking and bird watching. I hope to return again.

A comfortable guest house with everything you would need for an extended stay. The hosts were welcoming, the neighborhood quiet, and the view was spectacular. We stayed for a month and would do it again.

Cute place in a good location

It was nice & quiet

Perfect quiet spot! Enjoyed walking with our Golden Retriever every day as the neighborhood was safe and little traffic. Amy and Buddy (and Buddy’s parents) were the best! The cabin provided all our needs, short drive to Publix, about 1/2 hour to St. Augustine and beautiful parks that we discovered. Sitting - reading on the porch was a great escape from the snowy north and the property was picturesque. Was an absolutely wonderful month!

Nice house. Will stay again if we are ever working in this area again.

We loved it and will return!!

The perfect quite river spot to recuperate after a long day of work
