And Fun was had by All

We loved our location and the closeness of nature. We especially enjoyed fishing from the dock and visiting the nearby state parks. We also did short day trips to the coast to Daytona Beach and Cape Canaveral. The house itself is nicely decorated and updated. The big yard was great for the kids to exercise and play.

Enjoyed our stay and would come back again.

The property was very clean and the neighborhood was quiet. We enjoyed fishing in the canal and watching a group of turkeys move from yard to yard and fly across the canal. We brought our boat with us and it fit perfectly in the garage. Property now has a King, Queen and two twin beds. Wifi and a large screen TV but we never watched it. We were too busy relaxing. We ate dinner at Drifters. The atmosphere is nice because it’s by the river but the food was not that good. Two boat ramps were close by. Dollar General was also close by to pick up whatever items we forgot.

Astor house on the canal

Great location. We saw a gator swimming up and down the canal and sunning itself near the boat dock. No WiFi or cable. Seemed like the house had been empty for a while- quite possible with the pandemic. We enjoyed our stay.

The perfect hideaway

My siblings and I rented this with our spouses for a quick 3 day family gathering. The space was EXTREMELY clean well stocked, and in an incredible setting. The house offered many different comfy hang out spots, each absolutely perfect for sitting around and catching up.*my only note, not really a complaint: the email sent out prior to arrival mentioned that wifi was not available on the property. We were all super pleasantly surprised, we would just hate to see someone not give this incredible home a chance, not knowing the service was available 100% would love to stay here again

Great house.

We were scared at first glance because the outside is green but we absolutely loved it once we got inside. We wish the fish were biting but we had fun. Boat slip broken concrete scratched are Ranger Bass boat but was easy access to the river. The garage was big enough to house both boats so we could charge the batteries back up. Also we charged them in the boat slip too. Great lighting at night in the back yard by the canal. Loved this place!!!

Fishing Trip

The accommodations certainly met our groups needs. We were there on a fishing trip. Even though the fish didn’t cooperate, we had a nice stay. The house was clean and comfortable with plenty of towels. The kitchen was well equipped with all our cooking needs. We may very well stay there again if the weather cooperates.
