Cozy house on the river, enjoy the view or fish right off the river bank

The Trout River Getaway is a cozy house directly on the beautiful Trout River, nestled under the canopy of big old shady trees. Watch the pelicans, herons, seagulls, or osprey right in front of you and watch the sunsets or do some barbecue on the deck in the back. Enjoy a bit of an "old Florida feel" under the old gorgeous oaks and magnolias or fish right off the river bank. The house is newly renovated with modern interior. Access to I-95 and I-295 is round the corner. The location is close to the airport, the nice parks along Jacksonville coastline, the Zoo, downtown, the stadium and the beaches.

Loved the house, so comfortable! Too hot to fish but the view is so relaxing. The only complaint was lack of a good skillet to cook breakfast.

The house is super beautiful and comfortable...to forget the city and experience an encounter with nature, it's great...the owner is super friendly...you can have a barbecue next to the river and, most importantly, you can fish, and there are some very good fish...in general, it's incredible...I'm already preparing my next trip soon...I recommend it 200%.

Relaxing River View Cottage

Needed a couple of down days before heading home after a very long and busy road trip. This place gave us exactly what we needed to rest and relax. Loved the outside privacy and especially having our morning coffee on a small bench near the river. We had everything we could need and more. Thanks Petra for your attention to detail.

We had a very nice stay in this recently renovated property right on the river. It was a relaxing, well appointed cottage with a beautiful view of the river that was centrally located to explore the natural areas around Jacksonville.

Nice little get away

The property was clean and just the right size for us. It had everything we needed for a two-night stay near the water. We plan to fish and chill right off the back of the property. But unfortunately with rain for two days and the low tides fishing was a bust.
