Fishing trip

Our second time staying at the Anchor house. We love it!! We bring two boats. The boat slips are nice. And the fish cleaning station is perfect. The beds sleep good and the screened in back porch is where we hang out. Plenty of room for two trucks and boat trailers. Its the best place fir fishing and relaxing.

St John’s River Fishing

Location was perfect, the house was perfect for 6 adults and kids. Access to the water was my favorite about the house. We used the location and house for the easy access to the water for fishing. We will be back on a future date!

Favorite Rental

This place is close to home. We appreciate having his place to be able to rent. Our home has limited space for family and the extra bedrooms here help a lot. Our children and grandchildren stayed here and loved the new addition of the fire pit. We had 30 people between our family and my sister’s and also had other rentals in the area. My family’s favorite place is Anchor’s Away. Always our number one choice. Thank you.

Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2023

About the host

Hosted by Priscilla

My husband grew up visiting Welaka and we purchased our own vacation property down there a year ago. We love it so much and find the area peaceful and a great place to get away and make life-long memories for our family. Friends and extended family wanted to use our house, so when we found this property we knew exactly what we wanted to provide. A place for friends and family to gather and enjoy our happy place.

Why they chose this property

We found this property and just knew we wanted to share the joy being on the water brings to us. The area is great for families, the house has a large yard, comfortable accommodations and of course those water views!

What makes this property unique

This house is complete with plenty of parking for vehicles and boat trailers, a boat dock with 2 boat slips, fish cleaning station, electric & water on the dock and plenty of spaces to enjoy the outdoors.
