Creekfront 3BR | Private Boat Ramp + Dock | Firepit, Pets OK, darts, pool table
About
Creekfront 3BR with private dock and boat ramp - launch your kayaks, fish from the dock, then relax on the shaded upper deck or around the creekside firepit. Comfortable for families or small groups: sleeps 6 (king, queen, two singles), open living and lower-level game area for evenings together. Pet-friendly for up to 2 dogs under 25 lbs; pet cleaning fee applies (shown at booking) and dogs must have topical flea/tick treatment 3 days before arrival and must be disclosed.
Open-concept living area with a fireplace, Smart TV, and high-speed WiFi - a central gathering spot where families or small groups can relax, stream shows, and plan creek outings. The living space flows into the fully equipped kitchen and dining area set for six, so meals and board games stay part of the same open zone rather than split across rooms. The main living level is elevated, so stairs are required to reach it.
There’s also a lower-level game area with a pool table and dartboard. For evenings by the water, Adirondack chairs stored under the house are available for the creekside firepit, letting groups spread out between indoor comfort, the deck, and the lower-level games.
Fully equipped kitchen and dining for up to six guests so meals are easy to plan and share: the open-concept layout keeps the cook in the conversation with the living area and fireplace, and the dining table seats six for casual family dinners.
Shaded upper deck with bar seating and a large TV overlooks Black Creek, making it a natural spot for grilling or breakfast with a view. The BBQ grill stays in its spot on the mat to protect the deck; one propane tank is provided. For evenings outdoors, there is a creekside firepit with chiminea and Adirondack chairs stored under the house - we do not supply firewood but it can be purchased locally.
Shaded upper deck with bar seating and a large TV - relax with creek views while you grill, eat, or watch a game outdoors. The BBQ sits on the deck mat and uses the provided propane tank; we monitor its level and will provide one "in the green" but you may need to refill it if it runs out. The deck connects the main living area to the water so you can move easily from the kitchen to outdoor dining and back inside for a movie or a meal.
Private creek access with a ramp, dock and creekside firepit - spend mornings on your kayaks or paddleboards and evenings around the fire. The onsite ramp and dock support launching small boats, kayaks and paddleboards right here; if you bring a larger trailered boat, you can park your trailer on the property and use the Main Street public boat ramp one mile away to launch. The boat lift is not available for guest use, and there are spots to secure your watercraft to the side or in front of the ramp during your stay. Gazebo with chiminea, Adirondack chairs stored under the house, and a lower-level game area make it easy to move from boating and fishing to relaxed nights outside with friends or family.
Primary bedroom with a king bed and an in-room Smart TV; a second bedroom offers a queen bed and its own TV; the third bedroom has two single beds (bunk style) and a TV, so families or groups can split into distinct sleeping areas without crowding.
Guests regularly praise the house for its cleanliness, and the bedrooms reflect that attention to detail, making it easy to unwind after time on the creek or at the firepit. The arrangement and furnishings are practical and straightforward, designed to support restful sleep and easy routines during your stay.
Two bathrooms make it easy for groups to get ready without the rush: less waiting, more time for coffee and creek plans. An on-site washer and dryer mean you can rinse out or refresh clothes during longer stays.
Direct creek access and a private boat ramp let you head out for fishing, kayaking, or paddleboarding, then return to the shaded upper deck with bar seating and large TV for relaxed afternoons. Evenings come together around the creekside firepit or in the lower-level game area with a pool table and dartboard, making the house a great fit for families, small groups, and up to two dogs under 25 lbs.
Creekfront, wooded setting on Black Creek - direct creek access and an on-site ramp make launching kayaks, paddleboards, or fishing simple right from the property. About a 40-minute drive from Jacksonville for more restaurants and attractions, with the Main Street public boat ramp roughly 1 mile away for trailered boats. Expect native wildlife and country sounds like nearby roosters; the location works well for families, small groups, and up to two dogs under 25 lbs.
Please note: Turning in, you may park on the driveway along the house. **This property is in a very wooded area along the Black Creek - so there will be a variety of native Floridians about - from birds, squirrels, bugs, and maybe a raccoon from time to time. There are critters in the Black Creek as well! Please keep that in mind. And, since we are in the country, you will hear some roosters & chickens that are nearby too! The water is well water.
**Parties / Gatherings / Events over our noted occupancy are strictly prohibited - as noted in the rental agreement. Penalties will be enforced. The property is monitored by Minut / Noise Aware as noted in the booking agreement. There are exterior security cameras in the front facing the entry, driveway, underneath facing the parking area and also in back facing the dock area and water and at the back stairs/entry to the home. The cameras help us monitor the property security, boat ramp, water levels and parking because the house is on stilts along flood-prone Black Creek.
**No Smoking Inside or on any of the deck areas of the home. If smoking is done by the firepit/in the yard - please properly dispose of the waste and do not ash or litter butts on the patio, area under the house or anywhere on site. If evidence of that is found, an additional fee will apply for cleanup.
