About this property

PERSONAL WATERCRAFT REQUIRED TO ACCESS PROPERTY. (This is not included with property)
This unique property is located on an Island in the St. John's River just South of Welaka Fl. The cabin is fully appointed and situated on a beautifully shaded river front lot which affords the opportunity to boat, fish, swim, waterski or just relax on the 40 foot porch and watch the river go by. The Ocklawaha River and Silver Glen, Salt and Juniper Springs are just a short trip by boat. A full service marina is just across the river and many dining and sightseeing opportunities including Sport bass guiding is available as well. Wildlife including deer are often seen on the Island along with aquatic birds and raptors.

Drayton Island was home to many Precolumbian Indians and has midden mounds and other traces of these early civilizations. If you don't own a boat one can be rented. Of course launch facilities and supplies are located conveniently on the Mainland.

Fantastic getaway!

This is a wonderful option to enjoy the St John’s as a getaway for your family with your boat. The cabin is cozy and comfy with a beautiful and easy to navigate dock. You have to see the sunrise, it’s amazing. The location gives easy and fast access to Georgetown’s IdleAWhile & Georgetown Marina, and a quick trip to Welaka’s options too. Show the locals some due respect and they will amaze you with their hospitality. Only slightly into the N end of Lake George gives you Salt Run as a destination to enjoy the springs, or Silver Glen slightly further down the lake. It’s close enough to destinations, but Drayton island leaves you feeling like you are truly a world away from everything. Highly recommend this unique place to stay.
