About this house rental
Nestled in the heart of historic Welaka, you will feel right at home in this charming house, built in 1930. Within these rustic walls, you will find two bedrooms, one full bath, a family room and breakfast nook with a flat screen television, fully- functioning kitchen, WIFI, and two game rooms. The front porch game room allows for indoor activities such as cards and board games. The back porch offers seating and an air hockey table.
The house is centrally located. A couple of blocks away is the public boat ramp, where you can launch your boat for a fun-filled day of fishing, cruising, or swimming on the river. Afterward, you can tie up at Bryant’s Wharf, Welaka’s public boat dock. The house is only a few hundred yards walk away!
Days on the water are always busy and can make one very hungry! Shrimps-R-Us and The Log Cabin are all within walking distance should you feel the need to work out your sea legs!
The house sits on half an acre and is ideal for storing your boat trailer as you enjoy your vacation.

We were here for business, so not to much visiting the area but a great 1930's house with all the charm. Plenty of good restaurants and local store for food.
Everything you need and more.
I definetly recommend you will have a great experience.

The home was so cozy and quaint. I love how close it was to local places. We rode our bicycles around the back roads close to the river. Beautiful ride. There is also a gas station and a restaurant close by. We drove down to the 40 acre park with our 7 year old and spent a couple of hours down there playing and exercising. We felt safe here and when it rained it gave us a chance to play some of the cool boardgames that are stashed in the dining room. Oh and my favorite part was the library. Something for everyone, young and old. Beautiful home.

We have stayed here before when visiting the area and will hopefully be able to stay here again when in the area. It is a well maintained older home with tons of character. It is conveniently located not just to the events we attend in the area, but also to the river. Comfortable beds that fit our needs.

This perfect little spot set the bar for the kids above all the other places we’ve stay. They didn’t want to leave. I will be booking here multiple times. It’s the best spot in Welaka!

This house is better than described. It has the charm of an older home with modern amenities. Has enough room to sleep 5 comfortably. We needed to be in the area and it could not have been closer to our event! Very easy to understand instructions for check in and check out. The host was easy to get in touch with and went above and beyond to make our stay a fantastic experience. If we need to be in the area again - this will be our "go to" place to stay.

Welax Inn was absolutely perfect for a family gathering. Family came from crescent city, Daytona , bushnell and Tampa to meet with us.
We hadn’t all been together in years.
Thanks again for such an inviting place. We will do it again. We all loved it

Christy and Jayce did everything they could to make our stay comfortable and safe by reinforcing railing and installing safety handles in the bathroom, and wonderful communicators. I had a Total Lateral Knee Replacement done in FL and stayed for two weeks afterwards for Physical Therapy. The community is very small but mighty friendly. Christy made sure that we knew all the cool places to eat, things to see, like the wild peacocks, and we even did some other birding, thanks to Tony from Fish and Wildlife Services!! The owners would check up on me (us) every now and then to make sure things were good. I believe my friends and I certainly made new friend in Welaka! Thank you Christy and Jayce!

Great old home near Renegades on the River, about 4.8 miles away. Christy is a great and attentive host. We will stay there again in the future.

I initially booked for a 1 night on the VRBO App but then soon after wife informed me that I would need more days. I added the extra days by booking on the app. The owners realized that we had 2 scheduled times and removed the 2nd cleaning fee. I highly appreciate this since I never asked but they where highly thoughtful. On a side note being there for Christmas it was very convenient to cook the 18 lb Turkey in the oven at this location. I would like to stay during warmer temperatures but at least it’s safe to say at Florida’s coldest temperatures you be cozy at the Welax-Inn.

Tons of character. An older home in a very unique location. Was this an old one room school house?? Customized message when we came in, attention to detail with snacks, etc. Thank you very much. Great place to hang our hat during our fishing tournament and practice on the river!
