About the host

Hosted by Frank and Gina Walker

Frank and Gina Walker live in DeLand, FL, which is about thirty minutes away. We met at Stetson University, had to move away for work for twenty years but returned to this beautiful area about ten years ago. We have four grown children.
We clean our rental home ourselves and try to ensure that every family enjoys their stay as much as we have enjoyed it with our own family!

Why they chose this property

Astor is precious, a secluded bit of untouched Florida, which is difficult to find these days! The air is fresh from the river. A few days in the sunshine can calm the spirit!

What makes this property unique

The River House is south of downtown, far from the noise of the bridge traffic. To the north and south, on the river, are small islands that create privacy and calm the boat traffic. The river in our area is wide, and a state refuge runs on the opposite bank, so the view offers natural Florida at its best!
