We highly recommend this VRBO. We enjoyed our 16 night stay. The spacious place has all the amenities for a great stay. The hostess was easy to work with. We brought our bass boat for fishing and touring on St John's lakes, river, creeks, and canals. We enjoyed the covered dock and boat lift. We had great sunny weather except a couple chilly days. On those days, we took the hour drive to St Augustine and up to Jacksonville for sightseeing. I brought my bike to ride around the quiet town of Welaka. Golf carts are used on side streets. There are a couple of restaurant options in town. We also boated to a couple restaurants on the St John's.

Our families brought the boats and had a great stay at this property. The house is a nice boat ride to the springs, sandbar, and the waterfront restaurants. We look forward to staying here again!
