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. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Jetted bathtub - Shampoo - Shower/bathtub combination - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Music library - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Streaming services - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Charcoal grill - Dock - Firepit - Furnished lanai - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Yard ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: Smoking allowed outside only. ### Services and conveniences - Concierge services - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Golf - Pickleball - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - 100% renewable energy - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Double-glazed windows - Garden - Humane treatment of captive wild animals - Recycling - Solar energy - Unit size: 2,400 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76240000/76236200/76236175/1fba5e2e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Riverfront Retreat-Private Dock; Fishing, Boating & Peaceful Getaway in Welaka Welaka - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 41 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-11&endDate=2025-10-12&selected=76236175&PinnedHotelID=76236175&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102580000/102578300/102578242/ca1cf1d9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### ST.
