OVERVIEW

Originally built in 1962, the River House received a major restoration in 2021, and features an unforgettable vintage coastal theme. The house sits directly on the Loxahatchee Riverfront in Jupiter, Florida, facing east with panoramic views of the bay. It features top-end amenities including a white sandy beach, an 8-person spa, luxury bedding, 300 mbps internet, and a 22-speaker garden sound system. Jupiter inlet, amazing dining and nightlife, and the lighthouse are less than 2 miles away.

The River House’s vintage coastal style is truly unique. The house has rich history and is decorated with a collection of antiques and collectibles throughout. The interior spaces have been tastefully restored but retain their original character. You’ll notice original cedar walls throughout the house, whitewashed during the restoration to provide a bright and open feel while retaining the house’s rustic charm.

Days at the River House:

  • Wake up every morning to the panorama of the unobstructed orange sunrise.
  • Overlook the Loxahatchee River, one of Florida’s official Aquatic Preserves, from the elevated treehouse with your morning coffee.
  • Immerse yourself in nature as Ospreys hunt and Dolphins peruse the shallow river waters.
  • Walk the meandering paths through the River House’s extraordinary landscape, featuring varieties of native and exotic plantings and water features.
  • Watch the kids play on the beach, where they observe families of adorable Puffer Fish at the water’s edge, capture land and sea crabs from the mangroves, or cast a line from the dock.
  • Jump on the kayaks, paddleboards, or beach bikes for a morning expedition.
  • Return from your morning trip and enjoy a cocktail and a bubbly dip in the 8-person spa, your favorite beach vibes playing from the 16-speaker outdoor audio system.
  • Enjoy a spectacular waterside meal, cooked on our Weber Summit Kamado grill, fit for even the most selective grill master.
  • If you’re lucky, see our neighboring Gopher Tortoises out for a leafy roadside snack in the evening.
  • Gather on the beach for toasty bonfire as the light slips away, enjoying some roasted mallows and the reflection of the moon over the water.

Come to the River House to connect with each other, the rich history of the property, and nature. Your experience will be filled with Seclusion, Tranquility, and Antiquity. Enjoy!

It's a magical place

Rated 5 out of 5

River House goes above and beyond. It’s a magical place. You can tell that Kelly and Jim thought out every detail and it shows. The house is well-appointed, charmingly decorated, with beautiful outdoor spaces. The house was perfect for four adults and three children. Each couple had their own master bedroom, comfortable king size bed, with lovely bathroom. My daughters shared an adorable room with two twin beds, and my son had his own bedroom with a queen size bed, and a ceiling full of hanging vintage toy airplanes, and nautical decorations. Kids had their own hall bathroom. The living room is lovely and comfortable, filled with little bits and pieces of Florida history, and the kitchen has everything you need to have nice family dinners, cook-outs, etc.

The outdoor spaces are really what make the house stand out from the other airBNBs in the area. We enjoyed morning coffees with the sun streaming in, and gorgeous views of the Loxahatchee River, mellow afternoons with the kids playing on the private beach and swimming in the river, and fun evenings gathered around the fire, or relaxing in the hot tub. The kids loved the Pirate’s Cove, and the many balconies and little alcoves surrounding the house…

Rated 5 out of 5

Our family has been blessed to stay in properties all over this country. I must say this one will most certainly be the most memorable in only the best of ways.

It is so amazingly calming there and yet super fun for young and old alike. Awesome location. Exceptionally well thought out. Kelly and Jim have made big fans out of us and we plan to be back time and time again.

The River House is a Gem, home away from home for us.

Don’t hesitate. Book it. You won’t be sorry!
