WATERFRONT RETREAT ON RIVER WITH LG DOCK AMAZING VIEWS & WILDLIFE

Relaxing/fun River Retreat (Home) point lot with views of Dunn’s Creek, surrounded by Parkland and Wetlands. Days full of Fishing, Boating, Bird watching, Swimming, Exploring, Bicycling, Kayaking, Horseback Riding. Close to 4 -different clear water springs or 4 wheeling and trail biking in Ocala National Forest and only 30 minutes from St Augustine & Beach

What we love about this place -- everything -- but standing out is the view the view the view. And the wildlife surrounded by parkland sit on the dock - Manetee's Otters, Osprey, Deer, Turkey and Boar in the wetland. Wood peckers and owls just to name a few. And the Bald Eagle which this area is considered a "hot spot" for the species:

There is no restrictions to where you can go boating - Dunns-creek connect with the St Johns river - which is 320miles long and flows north to Jacksonville and then out sea or go south to lake George or beyond to west of Vero Beach. Just south about 3 miles is Crescent Lake Major spawning ground for catfish crappie and the famous Florida Large mouth.

In the 1700's they say Pirate's would hide seized ships to Crescent Lake - the Black Swan a frigate - when the moon is full you may hear "Big Jack" looking for his buried gold.

Enjoy Peaceful Quiet evenings with natural sounds of chirping Birds, Owls, Turkey's, bullfrogs, Bass, bluegill, crappie popping the surface and occasional grunting' of Gators.

The Area – Dunn’s Creek is a 6-mile long deep creek, linking the St. Johns River to Crescent Lake. Shoreline is largely uninhabited except for the first two miles on the eastern shore. Dunn’s Creek State Park is located on the western shore for nearly its entire length. At Pine Landing, the State Park offers picnic tables, artesian well water and restrooms. Manatees regularly travel the waterway and the American Alligator grows large in these waters. Wetlands, Cypress trees, hardwoods and lily pads line the entire trail. Dunn’s creek has tidal flows and planning helps enjoy the day Because of its scenic nature,

Dunn's Creek is a Florida designated paddling trail for kayaking

Fishery - St Johns is known as the Bass Fishing Capital of the World. Both Striped and Largemouth varieties can be found here in abundance large sizes. Also Bluegill, Crappie and Catfish, Redfish, Flounder and because we are tidal with a tiny bit of salt we have Blue Crab & shrimp fishery!

Satsuma getaway

House was very clean, organized and well equipped. The outside area had a very new seawall, however the area around the dock was apparently in the midst of a renovation. There were weeds growing throughout the sand and mulch that had been spread, and much more material was waiting to be put down. Outside tables and chairs were moldy and overhead dock roof was full of mud daubers and wasps.

Great fishing

This is a difficult review to write. We enjoyed the fishing and wildlife. What made our stay uncomfortable was backyard construction on sea wall and unfinished boat lifts. The owner had no control over delays I would recommend renting after all construction is finished.

perfect for extra house

They had everything you could possibly need for a stay. Stocked supplies for cooking, bedding and more. Loved the birds and wild life we would see every morning. A Dollar General was 2 miles away for grocery emergency needs. A Greenway that led to additional fishing and running, or biking was within running or riding range. Very quiet neighborhood. Internet was easy to use and fast. Will definitely come back, I don't want to write a good review because I want this all to myself, but that was awesome.
