The space is a permanently placed cottage style travel trailer, in a park like setting, with resort style amenities, on our quiet canal front property. A beautiful and peaceful spot with views that will take you back to old Florida. The canal is great for canoe rides and kayak trips and is teaming with wildlife! You can expect to see our resident alligators (3'-5'), turtles, hummingbirds, Sand hill cranes, and an abundance of fresh water carp. Inside you will find all comforts you could want.
The trailer is fully equipped with everything you will need to be comfortable, relax, and enjoy your time away from home. It has a kind size bed in the master bedroom. A beautiful well lit kitchen with a farmhouse sink, double refrigerator, oven, stove top, and microwave. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to prepare and enjoy your meals. The living room has dual recliners to lounge back in and enjoy a good book, watch tv, or warmup by the fire place. The living room also has a love seat that becomes a pull out bed for additional sleeping (this bed is about the size of a double bed).
Included in your space is a separate theater/game room. There are board games for the whole family as well as a projector and large screen with access to Netflix, Prime, Hulu, and a DVD collection. Inside the theater/game room is a large couch where every seat reclines for added comfort! Upon request we can provide a queen size blow up mattresses and linens.
Also included in your space is a fire pit with chairs to enjoy your campfire. A picnic table as well as a charcoal and a gas grill for you grilling masters! You will also find bikes, electric scooters, kayaks, a canoe, and some fishing poles for you to enjoy the outdoors! Located on the other side of the property you will have access to an above ground swimming pool with a deck to lounge on, as well as a dock you can fish off of.
Located on our property is a 2018 Misty Harbor 20' Pontoon boat with a 115hp motor on it available for you to rent. At the end of the canal that our property sits on is the St. John's River! Just around the river's bend is Lake Beresford! We are about a 30 minute boat ride to Blue Springs State Park. We are smack in the middle of some of the most beautiful river to explore with a lot of really good restaurants you can get to by boat or car. We are walking distance to Hontoon Island State Park. Grab a scooter and take the free ferry across the river to Hontoon Island and enjoy some old Florida walking trails. Or grab a kayak and kayak to the island! Plenty to see and do here or just hang out, relax, and enjoy the peace and quiet.
Other things to note:
We do live on property, but we do not enter your space unless you ask us to. The only shared/common space will be the pool and the fishing deck. We are a friendly family and love having guests, but we always try to yield the common areas to our guests and not step on their toes. :)
