Amenities
58 includedThis is a cool older home with an amazing natural area and water view out back. It worked perfectly for our group. The beds were comfortable and it had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. I really enjoyed sitting out by the river for my morning coffee and evening wine. Bird watching was also fun!
We had a great time at The Bluff House. Andrew was easy to get in touch with and very friendly. The location is close to downtown but feels like a hidden oasis with the serene backyard, sauna, and outdoor shower. We enjoyed spotting all the wildlife by the river.
Good stay, fun retro surf vibe. Really good location in proximity to beaches, especially Huguenot state park. Also a nice backdrop to the river.
Andrew was very attentive and helpful from the beginning. His home was beautiful and offered a nice little private space that kept us close to the restaurants in the downtown area but far enough away to feel comfortable. Would definitely stay again the next time we’re in town. Thank you Andrew!
We especially loved the outdoor spaces… A beautiful deck, right outside the dining area and living room room. Then a boardwalk through a magical tropical woodland out to an elevated deck overlooking the St. John river! Fabulous!
We had a nice stay. It was close enough to everything but also felt far away because of the beautiful backyard. The floors are not level and we had an issue with one of the doors leading to the deck not being able to be locked due to the frame not lining up correctly, but overall, we had a great stay.
