Crescent City, Florida
Welcome to the Bass Capital of the World! On this private "Slice of Paradise" you can enjoy beautiful natural scenery, and observe abundant wildlife, including deer, turkey, squirrels, rabbits, alligators, cranes, bald eagles, hawks, owls, and myriad other birds. Bring your boat and keep at the dock. (Boat ramps nearby to launch your boat.) In addition to your own private bungalow, there are several venues on the private 2+acre property for your use: TV gazebo, fire pit, gas BBQ grill, screened room on dock, 150' open dock on the St. John's River with beautiful sunrise and sunset views. Plenty of room for parking a boat, RV, trailer. No traffic, very private property (separate owner's cabin on property).
A couple of important notes:
This is a very quiet location and NOT a party house.
Due to owner's allergies, and to avoid disturbing bountiful indigenous wildlife, we do not allow pets of any kind. No hunting. The bungalow and property are not baby-proofed. For guest safety, several surveillance cameras discretely monitor exterior premises.
More about our Location:
Overall, the tranquil, spring-fed St. John's River flows from the South to North into the Atlantic Ocean (Jacksonville). Our peaceful property is located on a largely undeveloped portion of the St. John's River where the River flows East to West, affording beautiful sunrises, sunsets, and stargazing from our 150' private dock. Nestled between Lake George (second largest lake in Florida) and Little Lake George (and almost surrounded by the Ocala National Forest, the Welaka State Forest, and the Welaka National Fish Hatchery), our "Slice of Paradise" features excellent opportunities for observing wildlife and fishing for bass, trout, catfish, crappie, brim, shrimp, crabs and more!
About a 5 minute boat ride from our dock to the Southeast is Renegades on the River Marina & RV Campground, with a great restaurant, Tiki bar with live music, boat ramp, gas and supplies.
About a 5 minute boat ride from our dock to the Northwest is the inlet of the uniquely scenic, wholly-undeveloped Ocklawaha River, which teems with wildlife.
About a 5 minute drive South from our property is The Oaks Golf Course, an 18-hole golf course for all skill levels (playing 6,051 yards), with clubhouse restaurant, golf cart and equipment rentals. Friendly, open to public, great for a fun, relaxing round!
About a 5 minute drive North thru the Welaka State Forest is the charming Town of Welaka, with a couple of great restaurant and music venues (Shrimp-R-Us, Long's Log Cabin) you will want to check out !
We love staying here. It’s a beautiful and quiet place to sit on the dock, look out over the water and go fishing. We enjoyed seeing the deer and wild turkeys too!
Incredible spot, really made us feel at home. House was perfect and the dock gave some gorgeous views out on the water. A true hidden gem that I’m glad we stumbled upon.
I would highly recommend this place!
First time renting on VRBO. The property was beautiful and right on the St. Johns river.system.The property owners were great and welcome me and my wife as family. Had a great time
Easy to get to, away from the busy-ness of city life. Bungalow is small, but seems larger due to the sunroom, TV gazebo, dock area, screened-in dock resting spot, and she shed with spa-like experience. Owners have provided everything that you need to enjoy yourselves. Suggest no more than 2 people visit, due to the small studio bathroom area. We stayed for 2 weeks, and will definitely book again if we plan to be in the area. Loved the many types of birds, the deer, turkeys, and the friendly anoles. Owners made us feel very welcome, and provided some nice amenities that other places haven't. Kudos!
We fell in love with the place when we saw the advertisement on VRBO. We fell in love again when we arrived. This slice of paradise is everything we could hope for. Beautiful quiet and comfortable to stay at. Theresa and Hal were so helpful with getting us settled in and help quickly if we needed anything. As an amateur wildlife, raptor, and bird photographer it was a dream destination.. We decided on our first day of our stay that we definitely would return. Thank you for an enjoyable visit
Awesome is all i can say
This was our second January visit to Hal and Theresa's slice of paradise on the St. Johns River. They are the most wonderful hosts. The location is absolutely beautiful and so relaxing. There is much to see and do if you choose but our favorite activity is watching the river and wildlife from the dock. The rental is super clean and stocked with everything you need. We cooked a few crock pot meals and used the stove top and toaster/countertop oven. There are many little restaurants and bars in the area to get a bite too. Hal and Theresa always have excellent recommendations and they quickly respond to any questions and any issues. We hope to come back next year!
This is the second time we’ve stayed here and we love it! We’re close to our friends and the view from the dock is breathtaking. The hosts are wonderful to work with and kept us up to date after the hurricane passed through. I’d highly recommend it.
We had a fantastic stay in this slice of paradise! The location is excellent, the bungalow just right for 2, and the most amazing hosts! Thanks for sharing you space and your company! We will certainly be back!
