I recently stayed at a fantastic Vrbo property over the weekend and couldn't be happier with my experience. The location was absolutely beautiful, surrounded by stunning views that made for a perfect getaway. The property was impeccably clean, with every detail taken care of, ensuring a comfortable stay. Additionally, the host was incredibly accommodating, always available to answer questions and make sure everything went smoothly. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to relax and enjoy a lovely retreat!
The property was great! It was clean and well stocked for cooking. The mattress in the main bedroom was nice too. We woke up feeling well rested every morning! The back porch, overlooking the Santa Fe River, was beautiful! Host was very helpful and made sure we were informed of pertinent details. We enjoyed our stay and plan to return in the future!
What a beautiful place to call home for a few days. We had a wonderful stay here. The house is beautiful!!! Updated and gorgeous. It was very clean, bed were comfy and clean, kitchen was well stocked. Loved sitting on the porch watching the river go by! We loved taking the kayaks out on the river and took the floats to some nearby springs. The host, Mark, was very responsive and wonderful to work with. We will definitely be back!!
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the river house. It had many windows and a bright inside. A beautiful view out to the Santa Fe river. Really no complaints at all. Everything was explained by the host ahead of time would definitely revisit.
We loved our stay here. The location to various springs in the area in addition to having direct access to the Santa Fe river made for a wonderful stay. The property had everything we needed.
A very comfortable recently remodeled home alongside a sparkling clear river. Unseasonable cool, wet weather kept us from venturing out on the river but we appreciated the kayaks were available for our use. A very tranquil setting.
We had a fantastic stay at the River Retreat! The property was spotless and offered a beautiful view of the Santa Fe River. There are plenty of nearby springs to explore, and we enjoyed paddling on both the Santa Fe and Ichetucknee Rivers. If you’re a nature lover, I highly recommend staying here!
Wonderful, relaxing vacation on the river. The home is clean, well stocked and nicely decorated. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and the citronella torches on the porch definitely kept the bugs at bay. We will definitely return!

Beautiful property. Well maintained. Well equipped. We greatly enjoyed kayaking on the river. Highly recommended. Will sure be returning
Great place. Short drive to the springs and the town of High Springs which had a nice family friendly brewery and other restaurants. Mark was very responsive when we reached out. Absolutely no complaints. Will be going back
The house was beautiful and so close to everything we wanted to do. My family and I enjoyed the deck every afternoon. My kids loved watching the fish jump and waving to the kayakers. Couldn’t have asked for more.

Thank you Cassandra! You guys are always welcome back!
This place was awesome. The view, the cleanliness and the location. We were 11 minutes from Ginnie Springs, 8 mins from Fort White and 15 mins from High Springs. This is great for couples that want to get away from the city life for awhile. Will totally recommend to someone else about this place.

What an amazing, tranquil property. The view of the river from the house was stunningly beautiful. I can't wait to come back.
Amazing place if your looking to relax with your family or friends!!! Mark the owner was absolutely amazing with the communication & he offered us everything that we needed in order to make our stay even more comfortable!!
We had a lovely time at this cozy house by the river! It was so nice to sit on the deck in the morning with a cup of coffee and listen to the birds. The house was clean and in excellent condition.
We wanted to get away from the fast pace and slow down for a weekend. This was the perfect spot for that. Very cozy and nicely renovated. Communication and hospitality were great!
