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.

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.
