River House
I have been renting this place for years. The location is very nice for fishing the St. John’s River and the management team is great! The property is very well maintained and the property is clean and has all the features that make it easy to bring your own boat and enjoy the water. The owner has been very helpful, always helpful and very friendly. It’s a great place to stay!

River House
I have been here before and have never been disappointed. Unfortunately (for me) the fish weren’t biting, but the location allowed me to get some much needed rest (recovery from 2 major surgery’s in the last 6 months). The visit was cut short because of weather but well worth the trip. As before, the “next door neighbor” Jack, was extremely helpful and always willing to talk about daily issues; Thanks

Perfect Long Weekend Spot
We had an amazing time in Welaka with this incredible house as home base. We probably had more fun playing on the dock than we did running around on the boat. My son was occupied for hours tossing the cast net and fishing, with pretty decent success. The house was better than advertised and had everything we needed and then some. The host were awesome and we had some laughs. I'm sure they would have immediately addressed any issues if we would have had any. We all look forward to visiting again.

Randy's place was perfect! We were able to dock our boat on the boat lift with no problem and enjoyed the river so much. The home was clean, beds were comfortable, kitchen was perfect, porch was great to sit on and look at the view and Mr. Jack next door was delightful! I'm definitely coming back and would highly recommend this to anyone! Randy if you are reading this, thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your home and we want you to get well soon!!!!

Best River House on the St John’s
Our stay was perfect as always, we caught so many fish we had to borrow a cooler. It’s always a pleasure to see Mr Jack next door . He furnished all the ice you need and lots of good conversation.

River house on St. John’s
This is the second year I spent time on the river. The house, the rental agent, the “guy next door “ were ALL better than advertised! Wonderful experience, very nice accommodations and great Bass fishing! I will definitely be returning next year!
