Beautiful 2 Story Home, w/Lift to 2nd Floor Balcony, on St Johns River Sleeps 10

Located in the historic town of Welaka, in Putnam County, FL... this beautiful 2 story home, with many recent upgrades and all new furnishings, is located directly on the St Johns River. Bring your boat and explore the many places on the river like Lake George, Salt Springs, Silver Glen Springs, Turkey Island, Dunns Creek & more. A true fisherman's paradise and great family retreat! The house is about a half mile from the Town of Welaka's public boat ramp. So bring your own boat and use the covered boat slip equipped with a boat lift.

For those with mobility issues walking up and down stairs, we have installed an outdoor lift that will take you to the 2nd story of the house, instead of having to take the stairs. In addition to using the lift to take yourself to the 2nd floor, it can also be used to send up your groceries, luggage and take food up and down to the grills!

On the 2nd floor you will find the open concept kitchen, living room & dinning room, 2 bedrooms & 1 full bathroom with vanity, tub/shower combo. Large Glass windows and sliding glass doors allows for plenty of natural light and great views of the river! The sliding glass doors open up to the covered balcony with loveseat & 2 patio chairs, as well as a 4 person dining table.

The living room has a large screen smart TV with DirecTV (including HBO, Showtime, Starz and Cinemax movie channels), dvd player with movies, puzzles & board games, leather sofa sleeper (queen size) and 2 leather power recliners. The dining room has a large dining table. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the pots, pans, dishes, utensils & small appliances you could ever need! The pantry also has an array of spices you are welcome to use. There is a side by side refrigerator with ice and water in the door, a dishwasher, garbage disposal, & glass top stove with oven and microwave.

The 1st bedroom upstairs has 2 sets of bunkbeds. And the other bedroom has a queen size bed. In the closets there are a few extra indoor folding chairs with comfy cushions and foot rests, should you need additional seating. There are also 2 queen size blow up mattresses, if additional beds are needed. Plenty of linens & towels are provided.

The whole bottom floor of the house is the Master Suite, with a split king adjustable bed, perfect for watching TV or reading in bed! There is also a sitting area with a leather sofa sleeper (queen size), leather recliner & large walk in closet. There is a large screen smart TV with DirecTV. The Master Bathroom has a beautiful vanity, soaking tub and separate glass enclosed shower and a window that overlooks the river! The bottom floor has it's own A/C unit separate from the upstairs unit. Large glass sliding doors open to the covered patio overlooking the St Johns River.

The laundry room is also located on the bottom flooor. There is a front load washer and dryer.

In the backyard overlooking the river you will find 2 docks, with electric, lights, water, a large fish cleaning station, and crab traps for you to use. Fish right from the dock, there are plenty of rod holders. If you bring your own boat, we have 1 covered boat slip with a boat lift you can use.

In the backyard there is also a large uncovered patio with a firepit, charcoal BBQ grill, dinning table and several umbrellas. On the covered patio there is a gas BBQ Grill, along with 2 bars with 4 bar chairs, ceiling fans & outside shower (perfect for showering off after a day of boating & swimming!)

In the garage you will find a weight bench with weights. Exercise bike, ping pong table & a corn hole set. There is plenty of parking in the large driveway for 4 vehicles and 1 boat trailer, or 3 vehicles and 2 boat trailers, you get the picture!

There are many restaurants nearby, like Shrimp R Us, Anderson's Lodge (they have the best burgers and wings!), Lexi's Cafe, Renegades On The River, Bobby G's River Pub Italian Grille (yummy pizza, and they deliver to the house!) & more. Grocery stores & shopping are located in nearby towns of Crescent City (20 mins) and Palatka (25-30 mins). Also it's worth noting that Kroger will deliver groceries right to the house! Go to www.kroger.com for more info on their grocery delivery services.

With beautiful sunsets and so much wild life to see, you will leave all your worries behind!

Gorgeous HOME
Home is beautiful and views of the St. John's River are spectacular. We had an amazing time and enjoyed our Thanksgiving day meal just relaxing and enjoying the River. Must say that the Direct TV package matched our own and it was top notch so that was a surprise and a plus. Would highly recommend this home to anyone who is looking for a beautiful and comfortable home away from home. And we had our 2 fur babies with us and they had a wonderful time too.

Beautiful!
This house is beautiful and spacious. You can fish right off the dock or bring a boat, as you have your own personal boat slip. The owners really thought of everything. It’s the perfect place to stay to do some fishing, relaxing, sit on the balcony and just enjoy the water or sitting by the fire and making s’mores at night. We enjoyed our stay and hope to stay again!

Great getaway
The house is just as described in the listing. When we arrived the house was clean, odor free and had all the amenities needed for our stay. The neighborhood is very quiet with a relaxing feel. The house appears to be newly remodeled. The dock and boat lift was a nice addition. We highly recommend this home if you're looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway on the water. We will definitely be back.

Annual Fishing trip
This property is a quaint and perfect property for us. We go on an annual fishing trip every year. This property was directly on the river and had a boat dock and fish cleaning station. My elderly father was able to enjoy the stay more since there was an elevator to the second floor which allowed him to not suffer when climbing the stairs. The property was clean and perfectly fit our needs.

Wonderful stay!!!
Family vacation stay. My husband went down early with the boat and kids, when he got there he realized he left the keys at home 2 hours away and the owner was nice enough to let them get in early since he was stuck with 3 kids and a dog! There was plenty of room to park our two vehicles and two trailers. The place was very clean and super nice. Kids caught crabs and fish from the dock, and had a blast riding the golf cart around the neighborhood. Everything you would need for a stay was there. Great communication from owners and they are very friendly, we even added an extra night because we loved it so much.
