4 Bedroom House in Welaka

A great home for a multitude of purposes, such as wedding parties, fishing groups, family reunions, two couples vacationing together, and many more. Why do you ask? This private home is unique because it has a huge master bedroom suite and because of its location it is accessible by water to the St. Johns River, Glen Springs, Welaka Springs, water-front docking dining, fishing, boat slips, fish-cleaning station, covered boat house with outside lounge/sun/shade areas; and not to mention the space that all can enjoy comfortably inside as well.
I have a concierge on-site in the guest house to answer all your questions and remedy any problems.
Location by Boat
Location is about one thousand feet of canal travel to direct access to the St. John's River, which is about 3 minutes from the river. Then, it is 5 minutes to Welaka Springs, 10 minutes to Ocklawaha River, 30-45 minutes to Glen Springs, and 15 minutes from the riverfront dining Renegade's. There is parking for 4 boats. There is also parking for 3-4 boat trailers.
Location by Walking
Across the street is a small park to walk your pets and see a beautiful sunset over the St. John's River.
Location by Driving
Free ice at 223 Sportsman Drive, 1-minute drive.
Restaurants & Bars: "Shrimps R Us" and "Log Cabin", 3 minutes, "Renegade's" on the water. All three usually have live entertainment on weekends, 4-10 minutes on Highway 309.
Fishing
Catch fish off the dock as most people catch more fish from the dock than they catch from the boat. You can clean your fresh caught fish in the fish cleaning station equipped with a sink and running water.
Boat Slips
You can bring up to two twenty-four-foot boats to dock in your backyard.
Outside Area
There is an outside private 12'x50' waterfront dock with lots of seating and a large sunshade and dining area. The 12'x30' screened porch has two comfortable Tommy Bahama wicker chairs and a Tommy Bahama comfortable wicker couch. There is a glass dining table that seats four. The water view and easy access to the backyard and dock area make for a great social gathering.
Private Parking
The driveway can park nine cars. Trailers are allowed.
Inside the Separate Owner's Guest House Suite
Inside the Main House
16 years ago, this home was custom-built as a vacation home for a multi-millionaire, and its true quality shows. Guests are sure to enjoy a memorable vacation in this fully furnished, four-bedroom/2-bath home.
Bedrooms
The main/master bedroom has a king-sized bed, while the remaining two rooms are each furnished with queen-sized beds, dressers, chests, and nightstands and are comfortable for two people in each bedroom. The fourth bedroom has two twin beds.
Living Room
The large living room is furnished with extremely comfortable furniture. I have just replaced the couch and loveseat with ones that have four reclining seats. An excellent setting to watch a 72-inch big-screen TV with Amazon Prime and Netflix.
Board games and an assortment of reading materials are available for book exchange.
The Kitchen
The kitchen is equipped with luxury appliances, dishes, accessories, gadgets, pots, and pans that a gourmet chef could ask for. The kitchen is perfect for informal dining with a four-person breakfast bar and high-top chairs. There is a semi-formal dining room that seats eight or more when you add leaves to the table.
There is a gas and charcoal grill that will please the most particular griller.

Summary: Home was super clean. Spacious. The host was very quick on any questions we had. This is on a very fish active canal. We caught fish right off the deck. I can't say enough about this place. I will definitely be back!

Summary: Interior of the house was very good and comfortable. The exterior needed some attention. The grass was not cut and the various sprinkler system heads needed adjustment, mainly the head by the steps going out the back door. It was only spraying in one direction, which was directly in front of the steps, leaving a mud puddle in front of the steps. There were various other ones also that needed attention. The door leaving the back porch was sprung also and would not shut completely. Being able to keep our boats tied up on the dock was great but with one problem---the dock is to high in relationship to the boat, and any tide affects on the water level only manifested the problem Getting in the boat was one thing with a heck of a step down. Getting out the boat onto the dock was a chore for an older adult. The dock needs a step down level before you either step down into your boat, or step up out of the boat. Based on this only condition, I would not rent the home again, which was one of the main reasons I rented the home to start with

Summary: This house is truly a home away from home. The jacuzzi bathtub was awesome!! So relaxing, I got it in once but my husband got in twice! This place is huge with 4 really nice size bedrooms. And the dock is very spacious as well. I will definitely come back here with more family next time and rent the available pontoon boat. Loved, loved, loved this place!

Summary: This home worked well for our group. We ended up renting a pontoon boat elsewhere because the one onsite had no bimini top to shade us from the sun, but we thoroughly enjoyed fishing from the dock at the property. Easy access to St. John's River
