***VIEW a" Being waterfront on White Shell Bay provides a round the year bird and nature sanctuary for a wide variety of aquatic, land and air animals. Manatees, Dolphins, brown rabbits, and an incredible number of exotic birds are just a part of an average daily view.  Birds include Eagles, Osprey, White Pelicans, Pink Rosetta Spoonbills, Herons, Sea Gulls, Geese, and multitudes of migratory flocks that traditionally feed on the bay that return year after year.

***HISTORY - This island is historical for being located across the St John's river from Ft Caroline. There are maps that show the Indians who greeted the explorers and traded with them lived here.

*LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!! a" Although it is easy to forget you are anywhere besides in your own little world tucked away in nature, this house is: 5 minutes from the boat launch at Sister's Creek, 7 minutes from the Ferry to Mayport, 10 minutes from Huguenot Memorial Beach Park, 12 minutes from mega-shopping and family dining at either the River City Marketplace or Regency Area, 15 minutes from the airport, 20 minutes from downtown, and less than an hour away from St Augustine.

Additionally, the fishing is fantastic for inland salt water fish and Red Tails are a specialty that are seen jumping when in season. Very few non-resident boats find their way to this side of the island and they are mostly small professional fishing boats seeking the bounty that awaits just a few feet from outside the back door.
