House On The River Adult Only Retreat

Absolutely lovely home! We loved the space inside and out! Everything was great. Bring your own coffee filters and firewood.

Very nice place and was perfect for our trip.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at serenity house! It’s a beautiful, clean house and well cared for. We loved the layout which was perfect for our group of 7 women. The location was ideal and the view of the river was amazing! We would definitely stay here again, and recommend it to friends. Hosts were very quick to respond when we had questions which was greatly appreciated.

Overall a nice place to stay with friends

The house was lovely and clean. The karaoke machine was a big hit! And the deck overlooking the river was a wonderful spot for morning coffee!

The home was beautiful, very spacious. Everything was provided that we needed. Very clean and comfortable. Nice relaxing home. Perfect get away. Would love to come back. My only problem we could have used more fire starter. One of the coolest places I've stayed.

Amazing spot and location for a quick weekend getaway.

Wow! This property was amazing for our group's long weekend getaway. The house is extremely spacious with enough common/social areas for the 8 of us to be in without feeling crowded or cramped. We loved all the floor to ceiling windows in the living room and the screened in porch. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed to prepare meals. Everyone found their beds/bedding/bedrooms to be comfortable and welcoming. It was awesome to find a house that can accommodate a larger group and each person have their own bed and not an air mattress or sleeper sofa. Check in and check out is an easy process and the hosts are very responsive to any questions or concerns. We really appreciated the book they provide with all instructions as well as recommendations and their favorite things in the area. The back yard is nicely shaded during the day and has good night time lighting so we were able to spend many hours outside enjoying the firepit, sitting on the deck overlooking the river, or relaxing in the hot tub or hammock. There's enough space we were able to set up and play multiple yard games at a time. The property is also just a short ride to Silver Beach and downtown St. Joe's as well as any grocery or convenience store you need may need to get to. I can't say enough good things about this house and I would definitely stay here again.

We recently stayed in this home for a family vacation. Overall, it was a nice stay. There are a few things the owner could improve on such as having extra guests over. It clearly states in her rules that you are not allowed to have extra people over. This house is 3200 sq feet and has a large back yard that includes a hot tub and fire pit. . This is perfect to have guests over. I believe she had a bad experience IN THE PAST. So, no extra guests are allowed. To make sure that didn’t happen, there were exterior cameras around the entire house. Also, a book of rules which included a note stating if you have a party you will be fined and police would be called. I’m sorry if this happened in the past. We were very respectful of her property like most people would be. Along with no guests, we were required to buy damage insurance. Once we were there and read her rule book I felt anxious with my family there worried about every move in the house. She did not allow shoes on the carpet, which was already pretty dirty. We also had a spatula for the grill to cook with on the stove. We were also charged $240 for an extra guest when we did not have an extra person. 10 people were listed on the rental agreement. Maybe, she thought we had an extra guest because my son came later The listing clearly stated sleeps 12 people. As much as my family loves visiting Saint Joseph, we would not stay at this property again.

Our family enjoyed our stay at this clean, beautiful and spacious home. Our only disappointment was the condition of the grounds outdoors. As first impressions are important, the grounds could benefit with a general sprucing up as many shrubs are in need of a trim. Weeds and invasive plants need to be removed. It could be so beautiful if as much care is taken outside as it is inside.
