The pet friendly grounds at River Palm Cottages & Fish Camp are planted with lush tropical palms and native plants. You’ll find hammocks hanging in the trees for your enjoyment and relaxation. There are exotic tropical plants such as the “Lobster Claw” Heliconia as well as the “white and orange bird of paradise.” Located on the western bank of the Indian River Lagoon at Marker #222, River Palm Cottages & Fish Camp is a vacationer’s and fisherman’s paradise.
We also have over eighty varieties of “Exotic Edibles” and many “Tropical Edibles” such as avocados, pineapples, lychee, oranges and lots of bananas. We have tried to make River Palm as tropical as the Islands and we’re sure you will agree.
Just a short drive or bicycle peddle from River Palm, Historic Jensen Beach offers all types of vacation fun. Ocean beaches, golf, tennis, shopping, wind-surfing, jet skiing, kayaking, and boat rentals. For fishermen needing tackle there are several bait & tackles shops just around the corner. Guided tours are available that include bird watching, eco-tours, river cruises and of course river and oceaning fishing.
Located on the western bank of the Indian River Lagoon at Marker #222, River Palm Cottages & Fish Camp is a vacationer’s and fisherman’s paradise. Twenty-three Key West style guest quarters are scattered among 7.2 acres of lush tropical plants and over eighty varieties of edible plants , fruits and medicinal herbs. A favorite place on the property is an authentic Seminole chickee hut (36 by 24 feet), built by the Seminole Indians in 1998. It is a popular place for weddings and wedding receptions, family reunions, birthday parties and special events, accommodating up to 250 guests. The privacy of the cottages also makes this an ideal place for quiet local getaways. It’s a pet friendly place (with lots of squirrels to chase).
Melynda’s passion is developing and nurturing the vast array of tropical vegetation on the property and selling medicinal herbs through the Amazon Herb Co. Capt. Rufus’ passion is fishing. He regularly conducts tours to the Amazon for peacock bass fishing. He is a charter captain who offers guided trips on the river and offshore charter fishing. Even though this is a fish camp (about 10 to 15% of their clients are fishermen), guests range from all walks of life, coming here to enjoy this tropical paradise.
Capt. Rufus and Melynda purchased this property over five years ago, at the time a condemned property. They have turned it into what it is today through their passion for fishing, tropical plants, and their love of this area. Their enthusiasm for making this a great place is evident when meeting them. Together with seven dedicated employees they make up a “small family”, working to provide a place for fun and relaxation, and a real asset to the area. There are seven boat slips, a nature walk, pool, sandy beach, hammocks and a children’s play area.
