Mommy and me celebration on the St John’s

Amazing time celebrating our mommies this weekend on the St John’s River. Spacious, clean, convenient, and easy check-in/check-out! Even brought up the boat, 21ft tritoon, and docked easily at the place! Will be back!!!

Great Place!!!

We were very, very pleased with our stay. The place was very clean, had everything we needed and then some. I brought my boat, 27ft hybrid bay boat. Easily parked at the little dock. Water was shallow but manageable. We love Welaka and go often, but first time staying here; I will definitely be returning to this nice little Place. Beds were surprisingly comfortable, plenty of towels and wash cloths for our family of 4. A/C was cold, fridge was cold with filtered ice/water. I don’t have anything negative to say and we stayed roughly 6 days. Highly recommend for anyone traveling to the area, want water access and/or bring your boat. Also, double driveways with plenty room for 4-5 cars or 2-3 cars/trucks and a boat trailer.
