About this house rental
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. Rent my pontoon boat for $150 per day or bring your own boat. 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 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.

We stay in this area a lot. This house was very nice and set up great. My only recommendation is that the lawn be cut before arrival (I know it’s hard being in Florida and grass growing so quickly) but it was high and scary for snakes. Overall great stay!
5.0
More amenities than expected. Wish we had more time to enjoy all that is available. Even extras that we wouldn't need like high chair and kids games and movies. Wish there were small steps to get to the dock for elders. Surprise suggestion to 4th of July golf cart water gun parade. Glad we were prepared. Will have to return with more time and maybe cooler weather.
5.0
Easy to get to by water, with deep water canal. 20 mile ride by boat to glenn springs. Large driveway with plenty of room for boat trailers. We had a 21 foot and 27 foot boat and both fit fine.
5.0
Overall the property was very nice. Beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything you need to cook and then some. Dock was very nice and relaxing. Our kids fished off the dock and loved all the games there was for them to play. Only thing i would say that could have been better is house keeping needs to clean bathroom cabinets and drawers there was hair in bottom of master cabinet. Wasn't that big of a deal for us because we didn't store anything in there but just a suggestion since you may get picker guest who it would bother. Thnaks for sharing your place we enjoyed our stay while we visited with our family in Palatka.

We enjoyed the property very much!
We had a few minor issues
The TV is not user friendly, the free apps that you have posted are no where on the TV
There was a cookie sheet with old molded food on it in the oven
Your concierge came home drunk as hell one night and could barely get her golf cart into the garage without my boys help!
Thank you for the use of your house!

Property was awesome. Great price for the location.
There was a person renting the cottage on the same property ,she called herself the concierge
Was not told about her (karen ,for sure)
Was in our business as soon as one of the guests arived. She was very demanding that we do what she said ,where to park and put our trailers ,( this house is on the ST Johns River)
So we had brought our Jet skis.
She was bitter from the get go.
I meet up with friends for different areas and had
4 cars and she diddent like it.(o well)
I hope the owner reads this and adress it so other renters dont have to put up with her like we did.
We ignored her for the most part.
We paid for an extra day but left early anyway.

We had yet another great stay for Memorial weekend. Second year in a row!

My family stayed at this property for a wedding. It held the 10 of us comfortably, and was in a perfect spot to get around town quickly. It’s near the restaurants and dollar general so quick runs for forgotten items were easily taken care of.
5.0
Overall the property was good. The grass needed cutting because it was high but other than that we were fine with it. The house met all our needs and we had ample room for everyone. We will rent the property again if it’s available on the dates we return. We were able to pull our boats up to the dock and use for easy access to the river. Check in and check out was easy. If all our party showed up as expected, parking would have been an issue with the trucks and trailers but it wasn’t. Two trucks with two trailers was ok. But if we had had the other two trucks and trailers, we would have had to regroup on the parking situation.

The house was not cleaned when we arrived after check in time. The owner was going to send someone over. But after about an hour or so, we were feeling uncomfortable so I called the owner and told him we weren’t staying. Our charges were returned and it worked out for the best! It looked to be a perfect place for fishing and a boys trip!

Jim was a gracious host. The house was large and well-outfitted for our family. The street location was nice with a canal in the back and view of the St. John's across the street. However, I didn't go far on foot before the surrounding area became quite sketchy. My mom said there were bollweevils in the cupboard, though I didn't see anything. I did see some mold in the fridge and on the counters which happens when you live near the water. Just wish it was cleaned up. Other than that, it was terrific.

Property was clean and spacious with easy access to the river, more tv's in bedrooms would be nice for larger parties, but enjoyed the stay
5.0
This was a great spot for our biannual men’s fishing trip. This was our first stay here, sought it out after outgrowing a previous place after 3 stays up the river. This place has plenty of space that accommodated 8 men comfortably. Well-equipped and host was real responsive. The area seemed to be nice, prime location in regards to some of our favorite fishing spots. Would stay again.

Dispute a slight delay in checkin, this is a fantastic property! Beautiful, spacious house with great outdoor amenities. A family reunion in Welaka caused us to rent this location that sleeps 10. Pet friendly, roomy thru-out and a fantastic laundry room. Great screened in porch, fire pit & covered dock area with swing and hammock.
Would highly recommend this beautiful home to friends & family for large groups or small.

Very relaxing. Family in the area. Great food and dining places.
Our niece and nephew live in the area and brought us golf carts.
We did not get in the car except to go to Church on Sunday !!!!
Home away from home atmosphere. We love sitting on the
porch. The weather was great.

Very clean, nicely set up house. Water was high but we didn't let it bother us, fish didn't bite like they normally do, but we had a blast anyways. Now we are looking forward to coming back in the spring . Thanks Mr. Jim for keeping this place so nice and reasonably price. Signed the Alaqua Boys

We were shocked at how much more beautiful the property was than the pictures. The house is beautifully furnished, super clean, and there's so much room!! The pontoon boat is older and looks a little weathered but runs great. Our family of 7 had a blast and would definitely stay here again!!
