Speaks

About Deborah Carr

Palatka Waterfront Vacation Homes by Deborah & Steve Hi! We’re Deborah and Steve, proud Floridians living in Jacksonville. We’re a family of five with three energetic teen boys and two lovable rescue pets, Milo and Julie. Our family loves the outdoors, traveling, and creating memorable experiences—both at home and for our guests. I (Deborah) went to FAU, and together we’ve turned our passion for hospitality into hosting and managing 12 homes with a focus on comfort, style, and making every guest feel at home. Our homes are designed to be unique and welcoming—think of it as a mini “Melrose Place” with nine beautifully curated properties. For our guests, we strive to be the “hostest of the mostest,” providing thoughtful touches and a home-away-from-home experience. Start your day with our favorite Southern comfort breakfast—biscuits and gravy! We look forward to sharing our homes and our love of travel, outdoor adventures, and family life with you.

  1. Message the host with your dates and questions.
  2. The host confirms availability, rates and rental terms.
  3. Agree the rental agreement and payment method directly with the host.
  4. Pay the host using their approved process — not through this site.

Find Vacation Home Rentals connects you directly with the host and does not process payments. Confirm rates, availability and the payment method with the host before you book.
