The property is located directly across from Georgia Boys Fish Camp, making it a convenient base for fishing trips, boating adventures, and exploring the natural beauty around Satsuma. Fishing lessons, boat and pontoon rentals, and gator/airboat tours are available through the fish camp for an additional fee.



Please note that the boat on the property is strictly off-limits and is not available for guest use. The stove/oven in the Studio has been disconnected and is inoperative. Please do not attempt to use.



Guest Access:

Guests booking the entire property have private access to both the main house and the separate studio, including all bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens/living areas, and porches associated with each unit. You’ll also have full use of the shared backyard, laundry area, propane grill, and driveway parking.



Since you are booking the entire property, the main house and studio are reserved exclusively for your group during your stay. The backyard is designed as a shared outdoor space between the two units, but with the entire property booked, it will be available exclusively to your group.



The Neighborhood:

Set in the laid-back community of Satsuma, this area is a great fit for guests looking to enjoy Old Florida, freshwater fishing, boating, and outdoor adventures. The property is directly across from Georgia Boys Fish Camp on Dunns Creek, where guests can find fishing supplies, boat access, and other fishing-related services.



Nature lovers can explore Dunns Creek State Park Blue Pond Entrance, with hiking, bicycling, fishing, paddling, picnicking, and wildlife viewing across more than 6,200 acres. The area also offers access to the St. Johns River and Crescent Lake waterways.



For a more casual outing, Gnarly Gar Marina and Bar offers waterfront seating, live music, events, and sunset views. Motorsport fans can also check out local racing and off-road activities in the Satsuma area.



Getting Around:

A car is recommended for getting around Satsuma and exploring the surrounding area. The neighborhood is spread out, and many of the area's fishing spots, parks, marinas, restaurants, and outdoor attractions are easiest to reach by car.



Georgia Boys Fish Camp is just across Butler Drive, while Dunns Creek State Park, Palatka, Crescent Lake, and other nearby attractions are a short drive away. The area is primarily car-dependent, so guests should plan to drive to most activities and services.
