The front yard runs down to the New River and has room for picnicking at the large table, a great place for cooking out on the gas grill or playing a game of corn-hole or bocce ball, which are available to our guests. It might be nice to walk out on the dock with a couple folding chairs to watch sunset. It is a truly beautiful setting, accompanied by a large, well maintained 3 story town house on the river. The location is great too. Within 400 yards is a 72 trailer boat ramp with trailer parking. Just across the river from the house (one mile by car) is the Jacksonville Town Marina where slips are available for rent. Located very near highway 17, the River House is in a very convenient location, just a short drive to several grocery stores and within 10 minutes of just about all the best things in Jacksonville, including the beautiful and solemn Memorial Gardens where our heroes from Beirut, Vietnam, WW II and 9/11 are memorialized. Your hosts, having just retired from 10 years of charter cruising, know and will provide a lot of information about the many interesting things to do within a one to one and a half hour driving radius. This is a great place for your family to relax and soak in the beauty of the New River.
