We enjoyed staying in this home so much. It's quaint and has all of the things you need when staying away from home. The beds were so comfortable! The park and pier are within walking distance which made for lovely morning walks.1 bathroom upstairs, 1 bathroom downstairs. We were in town for a wedding at the Clay Theatre which is only 3 blocks away.It was a great home base for trips to Palatka, Jacksonville and St. Augustine.Lovely property. There's so much to enjoy.
We had such a lovely time. You're home was filled with warmth and wonderful amenities. We hope to stay here again. A

Danielle was a wonderful hostess with excellent communication! We flew in from another state for a wedding and opted for this cozy cottage instead of hotel rooms. This was perfect for our needs and there so many things were provided! It was a pleasant experience!

Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the historic location and the convenience of having so much within walking distance. It’s a special area, and we’re happy it added to your experience. We hope to welcome you back again soon.
We love the house.Watch out for the last stair step,though.Before leaving the dishwasher door would not lock.This is our favorite place to stay.Also, tv remotes are iffy.
Home was very equipped with most everything a family could ask for! The free water bottles and Kuerig coffee pods and snacks were really nice! This was our second stay and will rent again for the next equestrian event at the Clay County Fairgrounds. Love the place!

We enjoyed the stay fully. This home is very spacious and we loved that the kitchen was fully stocked with all the items we needed. The location is also very close to the fairgrounds which we spent most of the day. We also were able to walk to a local place callled Red's Wine bar.
