My partner and I stayed here for a fishing tournament on the St. John's River. The location was perfect with ample parking for boats. Clean, quiet, and everything we could ask for. Owner was very helpful with questions before our trip. We'll definitely look to stay here again in the future.

The view is beautiful, the town is quaint, the home is nicely renovated, and this is easily the most well-appointed by-owner place I've ever rented. Anything you might need from kitchen utensils, to condiments, to coffee, to first aid supplies... it was all there. The master bedroom feels palatial with the sweeping views of the lake, private door, and sunroom. From the comfort of this room we regularly saw deer, wild turkeys, ospreys, and at night an owl dove through the fireflies hunting for its breakfast. Bonnie, the owner, was very responsive and communication was pleasant and easy. The only improvements I could suggest is a path to the dock (like some walking stones). Also, curtains or blinds in the master bedroom would be nice. Keep in mind, there's no direct sun in the morning, and there are no visible neighbors, so this is a very minor thing. All in all, we LOVED the place and would love to rent here again next time we come to the area.

We can’t wait to return to the River House on the St. John’s River. The feel of the house is extremely comfortable, exceptionally clean and welcoming. Its ideal secluded riverfront location allowed us to spend our days exploring in our kayaks and fishing. You can’t get enough of the outdoors and surrounding natural beauty. The yard is full of citrus trees! The house is tastefully decorated and appointed with everything you could possibly need. No detail is overlooked: the fully appointed kitchen, a comfortable and spacious master bedroom and renovated bath, and a huge dock to relax and watch the incredible sunsets or stare at the star filled night skies. The house affords beautiful views and picture windows that bring the gorgeous outside in. The hosts, Bonnie and Malcolm go above and beyond, and are extremely helpful and available for questions about the area, the amenities the home has to offer, and of course, fishing tips. We hated to leave. Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with us.

My wife and I had a wonderful week here celebrating our 5th anniversary. The house is exactly as advertised and the best stocked place we’ve stayed in. Rented a pontoon from Renegades on the River and used the house’s boat dock. Be sure to try Shrimps R Us and Corky Bells (in Palatka) for lunch or dinner. We’d love to stay here again.

The natural beauty of this property is remarkable, especially the birds. The house is super-clean, cozy, and well-stocked for a comfortable stay. Quiet, friendly neighborhood. Appreciated the easy check-in, check-out and owner responsiveness. Working remotely from this paradise was a pleasure - we'll be back!

If you enjoy Florida, but not the traffic, this rental is for you.
My husband and I stayed at Riverhouse at Fiddler's Cove for five weeks. It was wonderful; so peaceful, private and quiet. The rental is beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable and well stocked. The large deck made it easy to fish the river and watch the gorgeous sunsets. We caught and released over a hundred fish including bluegill, red breasted sunfish, blue catfish, blue crabs, and even a stingray. Wildlife including black and whitetail deer, turkeys, squirrels, small alligators, turtles and many different birds including eagles, osprey and great blue heron visited the property daily. We enjoyed picking and using the lemons, grapefruit, and oranges from the trees on the property. The area is wonderful for walking and everyone is friendly. Several restaurants are within a short driving distance.

We are ready to go back!!!!
I cannot say enough great things about this property AND the property owner, Bonnie. The house is in impeccable condition and the decorating touches are precious. It is well stocked with things you just don't think to bring from home that you always need. We had fresh juice almost every morning from the fruit trees on the property and the juicer in the kitchen!! The view from all of the windows is to die for as well as the sunsets from the dock. We would have been fine to never leave the house and the beautiful large yard.. The time on the dock was my favorite! We saw lots of deer and wild turkeys in the yard. At night, you hear nothing but sweet wildlife noises while gazing at countless stars. Our family is ready to go back. It was a very relaxing vacation, which is just what we hoped!
