This recently remodeled kitchen boasts lovely hickory cabinetry as well as all updated stainless steel appliances.

This area also features a huge dining area to fit your whole family around as well as a breakfast bar and expansive island for entertaining, food prepping and more. A beautiful Weber propane grill is situated on the deck for all your grilling needs as well as a 6 person outdoor dining table with umbrella to enjoy dining outdoors. THE LIVINGROOM: We can't decide if it's the all natural hickory flooring, the cathedral ceilings, or that one-of-a-kind view of the riverside outdoors, you will feel like you are right at home. A cozy sectional sofa and a 50" LED TV make for a great place to cuddle up at the end of a memory-making day on the Indian River, Burt Lake or Mullet Lake. THE FAMILY ROOM: Located on the river level of the home, this room has so many uses, we will let you decide which is your favorite. This area has tons of room for a game night in, a family movie, or a snuggle spot near the gas-logs fireplace. The family room faces a wall of windows with the best in the house. There is an adjacent entertaining kitchen, we call it the party kitchen, to help you put on a patio party or just a secondary fridge and snack station for the days spent on the riverside. There is also a newly remodeled full bathroom located off of the family room as well as the full washer/dryer laundry room. OUTDOORS AT THE APPLE BLOSSOM COTTAGE: Being on the river gives you so many options for fun, entertaining and making memories. The cottage is laid out to enhance whatever your goal is for being on the river. On the main floor level of the cottage is a huge deck stretching the entire width of the cottage. Featuring a brand new 6-person dining set and a brand new Weber gas grill, there is tons of room to sip coffee quietly in the morning to a full house dinner party outdoors. On the river-level of the cottage is a concrete patio, well-established lawn and an artesian well free flowing with the natural spring waters of the straits. The soft trickle of the fountain adds a certain charm to your outdoor time here, something that all of our guest will never forget. DOCK AND RIVERSIDE: Just a few years ago, a brand new 70+ foot seawall was installed to improve river access for our guest that enjoy boating, kayak, canoeing and more. You have access to numerous boat-let in's for the river including 2 marinas and a city dock nearby. There are several sets of tie-down cletes to accommodate all sizes of watercraft. A gorgeous dock and sitting area was also installed at this time. Made of composite decking so you'll always have a sliver-free and beautiful dock to enjoy. We've also recently added a pub-height table and chairs set with an umbrella to enhance your river experience and give you as much shade or sun dockside as you want. And as the sun goes down on the river, you can cozy up around the fire. We've provided a fire ring to set off the full experience. Just bring your own firewood and s'mores supplies and you've got the full experience. Thanks for checking us out, and we hope to see you soon at The Apple Blossom Cottage!
