Hurricane Idalia Cut Vacation Short

We were impressed with the house and location (easy to get to Gulf waters). The guys were excited to catch fish off the dock too. We enjoyed one night at the house (with the beautiful sunset) and made a 14 mile trip into the gulf waters that first morning. After arriving back at the house, I noticed that we were under a mandatory evacuation zone. Disappointed with the weather only. So thankful the house survived the hurricane so we can return to the Mermaid House. Working with Don was easy. He processed our refund quickly (due to mandatory evacuation).

About the host

Hosted by Don Himes

We have been living in home since 2016. We have a sailing catamaran called DAME which is a play on our names together. She is moored on the property while we are away awaiting our next adventure on her. We love to travel and find ourselves an opportunity to be in New Zealand for a year. We have just returned from a long cruise on to the Bahamas. Once returning from New Zealand we intend on living and cruising on our boat for a time.
We chose this home due to its location and quick access to the Gulf. We both believe that homes die when empty and want to share our beautiful home with our guests. Hudson is a wonderful Gulf front community offering many amenities with a beach atmosphere, boating, fishing and waterfront restaurants.
We were lucky to befriend Don Himes who is managing our property for VRBO. Don has been renting his second home in Hudson just a block away and is also a member of the local yacht club. He has a 4.9 out of 5-star rating and understands what people want.
Our hope is that you enjoy our home and the community.

Why they chose this property

We are long time sailors who wanted a home on the Gulf with easy access to same.

t's location at the corner of two canals, one of which is the main access to the Gulf was ideal.

Hudson is a great little town on the Gulf that's not too touristy but close enough to major attractions to be an excellent base of operations.

What makes this property unique

Great kitchen living area.
Located on two canals
Quiet neighborhood with great neighbors
Near all the Gulf Coast has to offer
Deck and dock area are great, many hours sepnt just enjoying the view.
