They stay was great. A close boat drive to the springs or lake. We had a blast the time we spent there.

4.0 / 5.0
We loved our location and the closeness of nature. We especially enjoyed fishing from the dock and visiting the nearby state parks. We also did short day trips to the coast to Daytona Beach and Cape Canaveral.
The house itself is nicely decorated and updated. The big yard was great for the kids to exercise and play.

The house was very clean and well stocked. There was WiFi and a smart tv. The corner lot was very quiet. This was a wonderful place to stay and we could definitely stay there again!
5.0 / 5.0
The property was very clean and the neighborhood was quiet. We enjoyed fishing in the canal and watching a group of turkeys move from yard to yard and fly across the canal. We brought our boat with us and it fit perfectly in the garage. Property now has a King, Queen and two twin beds. Wifi and a large screen TV but we never watched it. We were too busy relaxing. We ate dinner at Drifters. The atmosphere is nice because it’s by the river but the food was not that good. Two boat ramps were close by. Dollar General was also close by to pick up whatever items we forgot.

5.0 / 5.0
We were scared at first glance because the outside is green but we absolutely loved it once we got inside. We wish the fish were biting but we had fun. Boat slip broken concrete scratched are Ranger Bass boat but was easy access to the river. The garage was big enough to house both boats so we could charge the batteries back up. Also we charged them in the boat slip too. Great lighting at night in the back yard by the canal. Loved this place!!!

Fishing trip
Need at least another queen size bed, repair ceiling fan that doesn’t work, provide basic cable at least, provide extra box fans. Repair lights on pier and exterior lights that don’t work.

Fishing Trip
The accommodations certainly met our groups needs. We were there on a fishing trip. Even though the fish didn’t cooperate, we had a nice stay. The house was clean and comfortable with plenty of towels. The kitchen was well equipped with all our cooking needs. We may very well stay there again if the weather cooperates.

Property was very clean and equipped with everything you could need for your stay. I only wish the bedrooms all had queen beds instead of twin beds.

Great Weekend getaway!
This house was really nice and had all the amenities we needed for our family trip. Saw 2 Manatees right off the back canal on the first evening! Enjoyed the cul-de-sac privacy and NO traffic! I have been around Astor off and on for 40 years, and this house and locale really does the old-time charm justice. Nothing to do in Astor but ride boats and fish, but hey, that’s what life is about. Went to Daytona one day, one hour away, and very convenient ! The house was very clean and all utensils and linens supplied were very nice! Beds were comfy as was couches. No cable TV but who needs that when you are watching the Manatees! We will definitely keep this on our Florida VRBO list for future stays to this area! The grill was nice and the yard very well kept. Thanks for your attention to detail! We will return soon!

Great location for our trip
We celebrated my wife’s 50th birthday with two close friends. We wanted a place with river access and a place to keep the boat. This house fit the bill perfectly, the in water boat house was perfect. The location on the canal right by the mouth of the river. Perfect for a get away with the boat

fishing on the St. Johns River
This property had everything the was stated on the rental view. It was perfect for a fishing trip and grilling out each evening along the river. Great place to stay for any length of time.

Astor house on the canal
Great location. We saw a gator swimming up and down the canal and sunning itself near the boat dock. No WiFi or cable. Seemed like the house had been empty for a while- quite possible with the pandemic. We enjoyed our stay.

Vacation Rental
We enjoyed this Astor vacation rental, on a canal, with a covered boat slip. We were allowed to use the private community boat ramp just a short distance away. The home was very clean and well furnished. The bathrooms look recently remodeled . No cable service but we did watch several movies on the DVD player. This rental is pet friendly with a very large yard. The owners are very friendly and we will book this property again.

Every thing was very great only the seawall and dock need work

Great spot, small inconveniences
We had the wrong code to access the property initially. Once we gained access within an hour, we were pleased by the amount of space inside. It was clean and simple. There were a few games, books, magazines. The kitchen was well-stocked with baking sheets, utensils, and two tables! A comically small television is plugged into a broken DVD player. Lots of DVD’s though. Our biggest issue was the waterfront access. The dock and surrounding area is unsafe, making boat access difficult. We had to change our plans last minute.
All of that said, each guest agreed they return.

Great location for fishing!
We used this rental for a short fishing trip. The location is excellent, parking is great for a vehicle, boat and trailer. Very quiet area. If you like to relax at night with a good movie take DVD's - there is a small tv but we had no signal.

Fishing cabin
Nice family time if your looking for Internet or to watch tv this is not the place for you, only 1 tv 13 inch and no internet. It's a fishing cabin nothing fancy. Great location to visit nearby springs and easy access to river for fishing.

Nice safe neighborhood. Quiet and peaceful. Home is adequately furnished and clean. Owners are very accommodating. Have stayed here for 2 years and will try to come back. You immediately feel part of small town life. Like the availability of birdwatching.
