Area Information
It was near here that Marjorie Kinnan Rawling wrote, "If I could have and hold forever, one brief place of beauty, I think I might choose the night on that high bank above the St. Johns River."
Whether this is a regular vacation spot or a new one, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you.

Great time

My husband and I had a really great time. No problems, very clean and very private. We weren't interested in talking to anyone and were burnt out. Felt much better after the weekend.

A wonderful holiday!
July 24, 2012
My son and I came to stay at "Pauline's Paradise" while on a Hog Hunting trip and it was truly a paradise! Ms. Dunn is the epitome of a charming and genteel hostess. The "River House" is a lovely accomodation with all the comforts of home. We fished and crabbed from the dock each day and were delighted with the fare from the St. John's River. The house is situated within easy driving distance of Daytona, St. Augustine and Orlando. It was well worth the drive.

Paradise found on the St. Johns!
June 26, 2012
My husband and I take a trip In June every year for our wedding anniversary and this year our 13th, we discovered Pauline's Paradise. Miss Pauline is the sweetest lady you could ever meet. We stayed for a week in the River House, which was really spacious and cozy. The kitchen has all the utensils and cookware that you need. My husband had brought all kinds of grilling gear and didn't use any of it. He had never crabbed before and had a good time catching crabs with miss Pauline's traps. She taught him how to bait them up. We caught fish every day... Bluegill, redbreasted brim and catfish. We caught shiners off the dock to use for live bait. The view from the house and dock are absolutely beautiful. We took our boat and them had trouble with it on the third day so we just fished from the dock and still caught fish. It was the most paid back relaxing vacation that we have ever taken. Will definitely be a return guest. Would like to go for just long weekends even. Really nice!

The Most Beautiful View of the St. Johns River!
June 8, 2012
We stayed in the house that Miss Pauline has at this location. It was clean, the beds comfortable, and the view was outstanding. Like being in another time and so relaxing. Miss Pauline is a sweet heart and makes sure every one is happy. The fishing was excellent. We caught 15 in a few hours, not far from the house. Thanks again, Pauline.

Pauline's Paradise is wonderful....
April 19, 2012
My wife and I stayed for a week and had the best time. As the other reviewers stated, the house is very nice, kitchen fully equipped with everything you would want, and a nice comfortable bed. Pauline is a sweetheart. We would love to come back and stay again. Rented a boat just down the road at Bass World every day. Pick it up in the morning, come back to the house, take off fishing and cruising for the day and have the boat back to the marina by 5. This made a most enjoyable vacation. And, our favorite part- Sitting on the dock every evening watching the sunset. Thanks Pauline. Hope to see you in the future. And if you want to sell your place in the next few years, how about giving me a shout!!! Doug and Debbie

Paulines Paradise
November 29, 2011
Our stay was more than we anticipated, Paulines home was very comfortable, clean and the kitchen was stocked with all the appliances and cookware you needed. The view from the dock was breath taking, we were able to dock our 22' boat. We have been going to various places on the St Johns river for the past 5 years for the Thanksgiving holiday, and have not found a nicer place than this. We enjoy the fishing, which was exceptional this trip. Lots of crappie, blue gill, and bass. If you are looking for some tranquility and beauty, this is the place. Pauline is a very southern hospitable host, who wants to make sure your stay is what you expected or more. We hope to make this our annual trip.

Make your reservation......
September 30, 2011
After a wonderful weekend, both my husband and I want to get away again. Being right on the water in a comfortable house with western views, along with sightings of eagles and other wild life make this place very special. Bring your boat, your favorite company and celebrate life. Pauline is close by, if you need anything, and doesn't get offended if you ask for privacy. She is a delightful person and the River House truly is "Pauline's Paradise".

A Great Place
September 11, 2011
What a wonderful place to stay very clean and everything you might need is there. Pauline is a wonderful lady who makes your stay just that much more special. The fishing is great from the dock if you don't have a boat. If you are looking for peaceful and quite time this is the place to stay. I would recomend this to anyone. Wayne & Mary

Relaxing & enjoyable
August 9, 2011
Have to say it was one of the nices cottages on water we ever stead in. Every year we pick a differant place on water. This was so relaxing. Pauline the owner is a gem. We were given a homemade pie & a cake. Also she shared a watermelon with us. We enjoyed being out on the dock fishing & just telling stories with her. Were it is located you can go to St. Augstine, Flager Beach, Daytona Beach. Your pretty close to alot of areas. If you want peace & Quiet, plus some fishing call Pauline. We had a great time.

Great place to stay
July 18, 2011
My wife and I spent a week at Pauline's riverfront home. It was nicely decorated, very comfortable and very clean. There are windows across the back of the house that faces the river giving you a great view. The kitchen is fully equipped with anything you might desire and the beds are comfortable. There is a pub less than a mile away that has very good food. Within 5 miles there are another two fine restaurants, one upscale and slightly pricey but the food is great and plentiful. I always want to know about fishing so here goes. We fished from the dock and caught fish every day, around 35 - 40 during the week along with 19 keeper crabs. There are two traps at the house although we caught most of the crabs on a fishing rod baited with a small dead fish (you just have to net them before they hit the surface or they will drop off and reel them in slowly). We didn't get up early to fish or stay out late and most days we did not fish the full day. There are huge catfish and my tackle was not heavy enough to bring them in. The dock is covered which protected us from the rain and sun and generally there was a nice breeze. The dock can house two boats and has lifts. Pauline was very friendly and helpful with all our needs.

Wonderful weekend
May 19, 2011
My husband and I stayed here for our 7th wedding anniversary weekend. We brought our boat and had the best time boating the St John's River and Lake George. It has a very nice dock with two boat slips. The house was estremely clean with plently of linens and the kitchen has everything you could imagine in it. Pauline is the nicest lady, she dropped by on our final night of our stay with a homemade lemon cake that she baked for us. She even shared the recipe with me. :) We have already recommended this place to other and plan on returning ourselves. Bobby & Anita

The most peaceful place we have ever stayed, and the "River Cottage" was immaculately clean and very comfortably decorated.. We enjoyed fishing off the pier, and caught a wide variety of fish. The owner, Pauline, surprised us with a delicious home cooked meal. This place is a 10 in my book and we will definitely return again in the future. Thank you Pauline for a memorable stay.

6 guys, 3 boats and a weeks worth of fun fishing in florida. Accommodations were nice. Plenty of parking. Rob was very responsive to our needs and kept the directions coming. Everything we needed was in the house. Just bring the clothes and the fun, the rest is waiting for you.

It's often hard to find the perfect vacation rental, but we certainly found a little piece of Heaven when we found the River House. The sunsets were amazing, different each day. The house was furnished beautifully with all the needed ammenities. The owner, Pauline, is a jewel. She is someone you will love forever and she certainly knows how to make you feel welcome and loved. I would highly recommend this rental.

This place is serene, peaceful, beautiful, clean, huge. Wonderful place to fishing. Pauline is the cutest little lady you'd ever meet. We wanted to adopt her!!!!We didn't stay there because we had too many people but plan to in the future.
