Great Getaway

Wayne’s place is the perfect retreat! It’s quiet and peaceful! We enjoyed the peaceful mornings and evenings just sitting on the dock watching the river. We would 100% stay again!

Great Little Getaway

What a place. The scenery was absolutely beautiful as the property is located on the St. Johns River. The house was tastefully decorated and provided all the necessities for an enjoyable stay. Very close to Historic Sandford which was a great for shops and restaurants. We look forward to a return visit!!!!!

Cottage on the water

My husband and I absolutely loved this cottage! Quiet location on the water to relax. It was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed, including fishing poles for my husband to fish off of the dock. The kitchen had everything needed to make our dinners...better than most places we have rented. When in the area again, we will most certainly rent this cottage. Wayne was wonderful to work with also...Thank you! Eileen and Fred

Lemon Bluff get-away

Quiet on the river

Third or fourth visit to the Cottage on the River. I think that says it all. Reasonable fishing this year, cracking sunrises with fresh coffee to hand, late evening flypasts of the egrets and their cousins heading to roost. Plenty of birdlife but very few gators although we may have seen some if we could have made it across to the far side of the river. The big gentle manatees pass by slowly just like life on the river. We'll be back. Cheers, Willie and Marion.
