Photos and Description of the Palatka vacation house rental
House, 2 Bedrooms, 2.5 Baths, Sleeps 4, great fishing

Welcome to Casa del Rio! According to 100% of our renters, this is the nicest place they have ever rented. You will not be dissappointed! A beautiful, newly remodeled 3,186 sq. ft. river front home directly on the St. Johns River bank (not on a canal). This home is a perfect get away place for a family, couples, friends, boaters, fishermen and those just want to relax and get away for a while. Being located on the St Johns River channel waterfront, a short walk will allow you to quickly enjoy the large double boathouse with electric lifts, lights, covered dock, running water, fish cleaning station and a small dock for swimming or sun-bathing. Or better yet, have a BBQ and utilize the pavilion to enjoy a completely shaded day or simply read a book in the hammock.

This newly renovated home offers huge, open living room, kitchen and dining area. Two large screened porches; one is located off the main living area and the other is located off the guest room. Both are ideal to enjoy refreshments, eat outside or simply watching boats on the river and the wonderful sunsets. The spacious master and guest bedrooms have ample closet space, dressers and walk-in showers.

Abundant wildlife can be seen throughout on the property. Wild turkeys and their baby chicks walk in the yard in the spring and early summer. Red tail hawks can be seen hunting for worms for their youngsters in the spring and early summer. Owls also hunt the river yard and manatees can be seen in the spring and fall grazing around the boathouses. Fish are always breaking the water surface and of course some alligators can be seen, especially in the later afternoon and night. Great fishing is found off the large spacious boathouse or enjoy fishing from your boat. This area is known to be the “Bass Fishing Capital of the World”.

Enjoy the end of the day with breath taking sunsets and the peaceful, quiet solitude of a day ending as you sit on the porch and take it all in.

About Clark Hoyle

Having owned our home on the river since 1997, we have grown to love the St. Johns River and numerous activites related to the river. For those who love the water (fishing, boating, or just to relax and enjoy a special area) - this is the place!

Clark Hoyle purchased this house in 2011
Why Clark Hoyle chose Palatka

When the home next door came up for sale, we could not resist the opportunity to purchase so family, friends and visitors can experience what we and a few neighbors refer to is a paradise in this area.

What makes this house unique

Private, electric gated driveway. A completely, renovated home from ground up. Everything new within the home. Very comfortable, relaxing home on the waterfront with exquisite views. Deep water double boathouse with two electric boatlifts within 20 feet off the bulkhead. Outdoor pavilion with hammock for BBQs or simply relaxing.

I WISH I COULD STAY FOREVER

  • Submitted: May 17, 2013

My new friends, Clark and Gemma, are the best! You went above and beyond to ensure we were satisfied. The house is outstanding. Like brand new. The yard is something out of a magazine. Now, let's talk fishing! I told Clark all of the best "honey holes" that I found. He can point you in the right direction. I caught hundreds of bluegills and redbellies. I even caught a few bass. The boat lift made life easy with water, electric and a fish cleaning station under cover. See you next May (Maybe sooner, cause I miss my new vacation home and friends). Thank You, Phil & Karyl.

Clark,

I wanted to thank you and Gemma for being such great hosts this week. You treated Pam and I like your personal guests and we very much appreciated it. You have a wonderful place and I am sure you will continue to have great success in renting it out.

Hope to see you again sometime in the future.

Thanks,

St Johns River Paradise

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Mar 17, 2013
  • Stayed: Feb 2013
My husband and I were looking for a Florida getaway. The pictures of the home were beautful, but on arrival the home and grounds exceeded our expectations. The view from the house of the river and mossy trees was lovely. The owners were so welcoming before, and during our stay. The home is fully equipped, pristine and beautifully decorated. We brought our boat and were able to walk steps to our own boat dock with boat lift. We were able to cruise up and down the St Johns river at whim. Our family visited for a few days and we all had a relaxing and wonderful time.

We will certainly return to this piece of paradise.

Our Home Away from Home-Paradise

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Feb 3, 2013
  • Stayed: Jan 2013
This property exceeded our expectations and as beautiful as the photos are, and as detailed the description of the property, it was even better. We came here to relax, enjoy the beautiful weather, use our boat and fish the river. We accomplished all these. The house is not equipped like a rental, it is equipped like a home. Everything is comfortable, new or nearly new. We picked lemons and key limes, saw a turkey, herons, egrets, bald eagles, many types of fish (all from the property) and even a few alligators while fishing Murphy Creek. There was not one thing we would have liked to have that either wasn't there or provided immediately upon request. The owners are more like family hosts. They responded to every question we had, they went above and beyond to make our stay as easy and relaxing as possible. We came away feeling as if we have 2 new friends and can't wait to visit them and "come home" again.
