Tom & Holly's Santa Fe River Rental House in High Springs

 Tom & Holly’s Santa Fe River Rental House

This beautiful riverfront home is situated on the banks of the Santa Fe River with gorgeous views of the river.   The property is located in a wooded waterfront community with its own boat ramp.   This particular area of the Santa Fe River is perfect for swimming, tubing, canoeing, kayaking, diving, snorkeling, fishing and boating. 

 The house is a two story loft home with knotty cypress interior, wall to wall carpeting and ceramic tile in kitchen and bathrooms.  The house is completely furnished and accessorized with antiques and every convenience you may need during your stay.  Ceiling fans are throughout on both floors.  The covered wrap-around porch on the first floor provides additional seating and dining space.  A boardwalk stretches out from the house to a large wooden “party” deck and floating dock. 

 Sleeping accommodations are ideal for seven with a recommendation of four adults (or two couples) and three children.  The master bedroom has a spectacular view of the river and features a big king-size bed with brand new Serta pillow top mattress.

Bring your boat or contact the homeowners to schedule a guided river tour on their pontoon boat (based on availability). For more information about scheduling short boat rides or all day excursions on the river contact Tom or Holly. No smoking in the house, smoking is allowed outside.
