Solitude was abundant
Only disappointment was the water was not fishable due to vegetation which was not shown in online photos. Otherwise an enjoyable place, pleasant surroundings and very responsive hosts.

Just right river home.
This is a sweet little home on an even sweeter piece of the St Johns River for couples to reconnect or bring their family. The sunrise on the dock with coffee and pastry starts every morning off just right! We love this place!

Wonderful Riverfront House for Nature Lovers
We recently had the pleasure of staying at this fantastic house perfectly situated by the river. The location is a true paradise for nature enthusiasts. Right at the house, we observed alligator gar, manatees, alligators, ospreys, and owls. Just a two-minute walk from the house, we even spotted a black bear and a wild boar. The house itself is spacious and equipped with everything one might need for a comfortable stay. Gina and Frank were easily reachable and extremely kind and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking to immerse themselves in nature while enjoying all the comforts of home.

Had a great time on river fishing and playing games at night. House could use some better lighting as it is a little dark for older eyes. Loved our stay and looking forward to a return trip.

Astor river house
Had a great time at the Astor house on St. John’s river. House had everything we needed. We took the boat out everyday and had a very relaxing vacation. The owner responded to any questions promptly and offered additional suggestions. We hope to stay there again.

Natural Florida!
I have been coming here for years and always have a great time! Beautiful spot on the river, peaceful, setting, and a beautiful home! Over the years, I’ve seen abundant wildlife, manatees, alligators, and otters. To be, this is how Florida is supposed to be!

Just lovely
Truly a beautiful property. We fish and kayak and were able to do both without leaving the yard.! House had everything you could want for a comfortable stay. I would say the wi-fi was spotty..if you are depending on that for work. Easily one of the cleanest well equipped places we have rented, oh, and the view……incredible.

Beautiful property on the river, home is comfortable and spacious. Kitchen had everything needed for making food. The porch was a nice place to sit and relax while watching the rain. The view of the river was outstanding! Could live there honestly. Easy directions too.
