About this property

Cottage Under Majestic Oaks Near The Banks Of The St Johns River-Pets Welcome

This is Old Florida at its finest. This cottage is located on 2.3 acres on the St. Johns River in Colee Cove.

It can sleep six with two queens and two twins. We have three rooms, two each with bathrooms and queen size beds. The third room has two, twin beds.

This is the original house on the property that was built in 1948 and moved to the front of the property and remodeled in 2014.

If quiet and quaint is your objective, then you have found it!! The house has a screened in front porch that lies under the oaks and an open back porch which is close to the path that leads to the river.

All the amenities exist in the cottage to include full kitchen, cable TV-HD, Wi-Fi, washer/dryer and gas/charcoal grill.

You have full access to our dock and dock house which is located behind the main house and has deep water access at 6' and full hookups. The upstairs dock house is an enclosed screen area and wrap around that boasts the most spectacular sunsets.

For the fisherman, we have a unique fishing environment with both fresh and saltwater species. On the fresh side we have Largemouth Bass, Bream and Specs. For saltwater species we see redfish, flounder and striped bass to name a few.

If the beach is calling, we are just a 30 minute drive to beautiful beaches.

Ospreys, manatees, eagles and alligators are among the many different types of wildlife that can be spotted at various times of the year.

I always tell our guest that the house is setup just how I would want it if I was on vacation. Clean, comfortable beds, fast internet, excellent cable, charcoal grill and all that you will need in the kitchen.

Come experience what we call our daily paradise!

Another great stay
This was our second stay at this property and we love it. The cottage comes with everything needed for an extended, comfortable stay. The property owners are hospitable and available, yet give you privacy.

STUDY THE INFORMATION PROVIDED
Rented June 13th - June 18th, 2022 I read the wonderful reviews of this rental and I was totally taken with the view of the sunset, boat house, dock and Saint Johns River. I should have studied the information provided more thoroughly. I expected to see the river from the rental....I was wrong. You can't see the river unless you walk through the owner's yard around his house to see the river. This isn't a short walk. I had informed the owner that I was bringing two older ladies with me, both needing the use of canes. The 81 year old went up the back porch steps to open the door for me to bring in the baggage. Before I got to the porch steps, she had tripped on another small step at the back door. She hit hard on her right knee and hit the center of her chest against the arm of a wooden bench. This step was not marked at the time. I pulled a wood chair in front of the step to remind us to step down. Owner said it was marked in the past. He has caution tape on the step now. There is another smaller step inside the house that should be marked as well. The air conditioning is first class, some of the furniture should be replaced except for the beds, they were good. The house was clean with clean linens but expect this to be what it is, an old Florida home, complete with wood cabinets who's drawers resist opening and no dishwasher. It's quiet with lovely moss covered trees but the overhead fans on the front porch didn't work. The Florida heat was brutal as it should be in June but we were not expecting 100+ degree temperatures. We left early on June 16th to take my friend home due to her increasing chest pain. B Baker Georgia

Home under majestic oaks
This is a beautiful area on the St. Johns river. The guesthouse is clean, comfortable and quiet with a screened-in front porch and a back deck. Great area for dog walking and bird watching. I hope to return again.

As Advertised, Off the Beaten Path
A comfortable guest house with everything you would need for an extended stay. The hosts were welcoming, the neighborhood quiet, and the view was spectacular. We stayed for a month and would do it again.

About the host

Hosted by Buddy Henley

Host profile image
As 3rd generation Floridian, my family has own property in Colee Cove since 1946. We have lived next door for 15 years and as the family grew so did our need for a larger home.

In 2008 I obtained a Captains license and have preformed guided fishing trips on the St Johns river.

Our family respects, loves and uses the river at every possible opportunity.

Why they chose this property

Quiet, unique, beautiful, and rare experience in a part of Florida that some never knew existed.

What makes this property unique

Sunsets to the west are unbelievable. If you love to fish, then this is it! It is not every day that you can sit under 300 year old oak trees and be so close to the oldest city in America.
