SECURITY DEPOSIT: In lieu of a traditional security deposit charge or authorization hold for a large sum, we will instead charge a one-time non-refundable incidentals fee to your stay of $99. This fee acts as insurance for minor damages and covers you up to a max of $1000 of damage. You may elect to increase your incidentals fee for more coverage ($99 for $1000, $149 for $1500, $199 for $2000 and so on and so forth). *IMPORTANT: Guests must report to us any damage that has taken place during their stay before checkout, otherwise the incidental fee coverage is null and void. In this case, we reserve the right to charge the full amount of repairing or replacing the damaged items to you. Your insurance coverage amount ($500, $1000, $1500, etc) is not the max that you are responsible for. If damages exist beyond your coverage amount we will document this with photos and professional estimates of repair, and bill you for the repairs or replacements.
The boat in some of the photos belongs to the owners of the house and is not included as part of the rental.
We recommend bringing a car for your stay. You can also bring along your boat or rent one nearby.

If you see them outside, they are just on site to do their job and keep the home in its best condition for the enjoyment of our guests.

About the area
Satsuma, Florida, may not be as widely recognized as some of the Sunshine State's more famous destinations, but it offers a tranquil escape into the heart of Old Florida charm. This small city, nestled along the St. Johns River, is a haven for those seeking a slower pace and a connection with nature.
One of the primary attractions in Satsuma is its proximity to the river, which provides ample opportunities for boating, fishing, and wildlife watching. The St. Johns River is renowned for its bass fishing, and anglers from all over come to try their luck in these waters. Additionally, the river's calm flow is ideal for kayaking or canoeing, allowing visitors to glide past lush riverbanks and catch glimpses of herons, egrets, and perhaps even a manatee.
For those interested in the local history, Satsuma and the surrounding areas are dotted with remnants of old Florida, from historic homes to antique shops where one can find treasures from bygone eras. The city's laid-back atmosphere is complemented by its friendly residents, who are often happy to share stories about the area's past.
Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the nearby Welaka State Forest and the Ocala National Forest, both of which offer miles of hiking trails, springs, and picnic areas. These protected lands are a testament to Florida's diverse ecosystems, featuring pine forests, swamps, and clear springs that invite swimmers to take a refreshing dip.
Satsuma's location also makes it a convenient base for exploring other attractions in the region. It's a short drive to the historic city of St. Augustine, with its Spanish colonial architecture and rich history, or to the beaches of Florida's Atlantic coast, where sun, sand, and surf await.
The local cuisine reflects the area's Southern and coastal influences, with seafood and traditional Southern dishes taking center stage. Visitors can enjoy fresh catches from the river and the Atlantic, often served in family-owned restaurants where the atmosphere is as warm as the Florida sun.
In essence, Satsuma is a destination that offers a slice of serene, rural Florida life. It's a place where the natural beauty of the river and the forests, the charm of small-town living, and the warmth of its community come together to create a relaxing and authentic travel experience.
