Spring Break 2024
Absolutely loved it. I lived in satsuma for a few years almost 20 years ago and still have family in the area. We also had family visiting from NY and the place was excellent. So much room, a dock on the river and the public boat ramp just under a mile away! The house had everything we needed and more!!

Great location for a comfortable vacation
We really enjoyed our stay, the property location was fantastic and the area tranquil. The vacation property itself was well equipped and comfortable. It was a shame that due to recent heavy rains the dock wasn’t easily accessible as the river was high and the back yard waterlogged but the views from the back porch easily made up for this. Worth mentioning that cell service was spotty, so if you’re looking to disconnect from the digital world then this vacation home is perfect.

Great place for the price. We took our 15 foot boat and had a good time. Just a couple of things to consider. You have to go outside to get reception and no password for network. No TV in master bedroom.

Disliked: Listing accuracy
Great House
The house was great. Beautiful view from the screened in porch to just sit and relax. The rental is for the downstairs only. Wasn't clear in the listing. Only thing missing was a firepit.

Amazing place
What an amazing place to stay if you are wanting to relax and have a good time. The back porch was amazing for the kids to play outside but not get bit by mosquitoes. Or great for adults to just relax. Boats fit great. Dock was clean, house was clean, lots of towels and toiletries. We will be abck for our annual family shrimping trip. Cute little bars and restaurants nice and close. My only complaint is that the swim area is all grown up with weeds. But we still had a amazing time!

Had a great time!
We had a blast at your VRBO - it had everything we needed and more. The dock was perfect for our boating down to Silver Glen & Salt Springs. The house was clean and yard was well maintained. Local contact was helpful and responded quickly - thank you!

Amazing River Hideaway
My family and I had an awesome stay at this place, cozy with plenty of space for a fun weekend on the river. I would 100% stay at this location again. My overall rate is a 9.5 out of 10, only issue is the bushes, and tall grass in front of the dock. Tons of deer and turkeys running

Welaka Escape
It was pretty good and the property manger was fantastic. It is sort of confusing because it is just the downstairs area rented. Not a big deal but it was a little dirty for my wife ( she is a clean freak-lol) and one night a roach crawled on her while on the couch so that scared her. I tis Florida and the water has been high so it wasn't a big deal. We enjoyed it. The owner need to invest in a lawn service though for sure. There were weeds 4 feet high trying to overtake the sidewalk that leads to the unit down one side.

The Point
Amazing location. House needs upgrades and it would be perfect. Only one dock, and do not swim. There are big Gators. Fishing is outstanding.
