About the host
Hosted by James Koestering
I am 71 years old and recently divorced. I have been a custom home builder in Minneapolis for the past 38 years and retired to Florida in October 2016. I bought this house and another smaller house. I travel the world a lot, My last trip before the vires was a 1-month trip traveling in Madagascar followed by a 75-day safari traveling 1500 kilometers' thru Africa, Tent camping on the plains with the wild animals' It was an epic adventure of a lifetime. My next trip will be traveling the Amazon River. For many years I had a vacation house on the Mississippi River that I rented weekly on HomeAway, we always had a 5-star rating. You will find that this home has a 5 star rating when you get here. I enjoy fishing and traveling, I have a large woodworking shop that I like to putter in.
I now have a girlfriend, Donna, and she helps me with my VRBO.

Why they chose this property
When we lived in Minneapolis my wife and I took vacations to many areas of Texas, California, Arizona, Alabama, and Florida looking for a perfect blend of nature viewing, snorkeling and sport fishing. We found it here. When the shrimp are running you can net them right in the backyard. The backyard faces east so you have the morning sun rather than the hot afternoon sun in the backyard. There is a large grass yard on the side yard to play games. I also have a croquet set and other sports equipment that you can use. You will find more things to do than you will have time to do them so, stay for a longer time.
What makes this property unique
We are next to the Welaka Springs and occasionally get manatees right at the dock. A while ago I came out to the dock and there was a manatee floating next to the dock, I thought it had died so I went over and touched it and it rolled over and a baby popped up. I left so she could nurse in peace.
You get the morning sunrise in the back of the house and the sunset over the river and the park in front of the house.
You are just a 4–5-minute canal ride and you are in the St Johns River.
It is a very quiet location as one neighbor is in their 90's and the other is in a nursing home.
The house was an extra wide double wide mobile home, but it is the finest quality made. It was originally built as a summer home for a multi-millionaire.
There is a covered boat house and when it rains it's a great place to fish and listen to the rain on the metal roof.
The canal is 8-9 foot deep so it's great for fishing right off the dock. You do not need a fishing license to fish off the dock in Florida.
There is a huge sunshade on the dock, so you can fish in the shade.
There is a screened-in porch in the back of the entire house that is in the shade after 11:00AM.
