Welcome to The Sunrise City! Come spend the winter in Paradise!
Enjoy truly spectacular views from the front porch of this quaint Mid-Century Modern three bedroom two bath home located on the banks of the Indian River Lagoon in the historic Susannah pioneer settlement four miles south of Fort Pierce and twelve miles north of Jensen Beach, Florida.
The front porch is the best spot on the property! Cooled by afternoon sea breezes, enjoy an amazing view of the lagoon and expect to see water crafts of all sorts moving along the Inter Coastal Waterway.
Up to six bedrooms are available on Susannah River House property, ask about combinations if you need more room.
3BR/2BA House, 2BR/1BA Cottage and 1BR/1BA Apartment on over 2 acres.
Guests have shared access to the front and back yards. Two grills are available and common laundry facilities with the two other units.
Check out my other listings, which are located on the same 2 acre property and rent individually.
Please ask if you have any questions or concerns.

You will see all kinds of local birds like Brown Pelicans, Ospreys, Swallow-Tailed Kites, Great Egrets, Great Blue Herons, Bald Eagles, Ibis, Frigates, Whistling ducks and Sand Hill Cranes who are often found walking up the driveway and in the back yard.
Often you will see dolphins swimming and playing out front and occasionally a manatee will slowly swim by.

Ann G.A great place to stay!
This is our second year at the Suzanna River house. I would recommend this house to anyone looking for good hosts, great location, and a fun place to stay. I love the front porch views and the touch of history in the home.

JAMIEPeaceful paradise
We have stayed in both the main house and the cottage. Both are well kept and comfortable. The house has a porch with a wonderful river view to watch the sunrise. The owners are exceptionally helpful and responsive.
