Guests will have exclusive use of one boat slip (up to 26’ boat) and two parking spaces as well as shared use of the community pool. Next to the pool are gas grills and a fire pit shared by the community. This property is our personal vacation condo in Welaka, Florida, a small town on the St. Johns River just south of Palatka, Florida. The dock is just past the pool. You can see the river and the pool from the unit, especially the sun porch which has a game table perfect for cards, puzzles, and fun times enjoying the view.
This property is great for family vacations, getaways for girls or guys, and anyone escaping a harsh winter up north. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of dishes, glassware and flatware. Small appliances include a coffee maker, microwave, toaster, and blender. The unit is on the second floor and may be accessed by stairs or elevator.

Wonderful Family Vacation
We thought the room was even bigger and better in person than in the pictures. We loved everything about our week stay. The condo was spacious, the beds were comfortable, the showers and linens were great, and the condo was well stocked with everything we needed. Stacy was a wonderful host. We can’t wait to return!

Family Vacation
Our Rivercation was a blast! Stacey made it easy to relax and enjoy our family vacation. There were extra towels for the pool, and those little things you forget like detergent and trash bags. We accomdated family and friends for a small retirement party at the beginning of the week and a small birthday party at the end of the week. We rented 3 condos at Sportsman's Lodge and this unit was the largest of the 3. Definitely recommend and will be back to enjoy the river and boat slip that comes with. Thank you for the memories!

Nice clean place
We enjoyed our stay in Stacy’s condo. She was very helpful through the process and was on top of all communication. My only knock is the property itself doesn’t have a boat ramp, but the slip was perfect. I’d stay again!

A fabulous property with great amenities and a perfect location. Highly recommended!
The property was spotless, beautifully designed, and located in a perfect spot—close to everything but still peaceful. The amenities were top-notch, from the fully equipped kitchen to the cozy beds. The host was responsive and made check-in super easy. Highly recommended—I’d definitely stay here again!
