River Vistas has it all! A meticulously restored, lavishly updated architectural gem with unobstructed views of the St. John’s River, it sits on a row of stately homes that front the river at the eastern edge of Palataka’s South Historic District. Enjoy your morning coffee on the porch or down by your private dock, while the sun glistens on the water. Bring your boat? Put into the river on the public boat ramp & tie up at our dock. Kayak? Paddle board? Fish? Enjoy your easy access to the water! River Vistas is also just a short 30 minute drive from St. Augustine Beach!

The home is flooded with natural light in every room. Looking at the incomparable river views, bathed in natural light, you are vacationing just sitting in a living room chair or swinging in the porch swing.

You have unlimited dining options. Do you want to spend your vacation not doing more than turning on the coffee machine? You have many fine dining options available, with some of the best a short stroll from River Vistas. Do you want to unleash your inner master chef? The six-burner gas stove, top of the line refrigerator, full complement of cooking pans and utensils, unlimited counter space give you the perfect environment to dazzle your family with your culinary achievements! The open plan makes it easy to serve, with plenty of room for all at the dining table.

Walk through the historic district or stroll along the river at nearby Riverside Park. Enjoy nature at Ravine Gardens, within easy walking distance of River Vistas. Bring your pet! The back door has a dog door into the fenced yard.

Wedding Party
It was wonderful to have a place so peaceful and cozy to sit around and reminisce with family we haven’t seen in a long time. Very clean and so easy to just sit back and relax. Loved the sunrise from the dock!

Palatka Downtown and on the River
Great house in a great location. The house was roomy and beautifully decorated / outfitted. We had 4 adults and had plenty of room to enjoy the premises. Great views of the river and early morning sunrises. Secure parking in the back and a fenced back yard. It was a short walk to dinner downtown and to the parks along the river in Palatka.

Amazing River View
This was absolutely the perfect place for our family to have enough room to sleep as well as entertain family and friends who lives in town. It also has many places for the kids to hang out, play games or even sit in solitude. The views of the river from both the porch and front window were picture perfect. We will absolutely stay here on our next trip to Palatka.
