About this property

Tropical Paradise, private waterfront, Hidden Gem.

Come enjoy a quaint little town with fishing and shrimping, visit Hudson Beach, Inn On The Gulf, Sam's Beach Bar and watch the shrimp boats come in. Get Hooked and Ollie's on the beach is more local favorite restaurants or get some ice cream at Hudson Beach cream parlor and All is within a few minutes drive. Cute little Cottage with Lush Tropical Foliage so thick you would think your in a jungle the cottage is on the water launch our kayaks straight from the floating dock which has a kayak launch. just minutes Kayak to the open Gulf waters. We have just installed a Kayak saddle on the side of the Floating Dock for easy in and out with the Kayaks. From the moment you pull up to the home and enter through the double gate you will think that you are in a Tropical Paradise with the many Palms and plants and flowers. that is surrounding this quaint, retro cottage. As you step into the cottage you will be swept back into time with the Dinning and Kitchen area featuring 1950s retro featuring a beautiful "Turquoise Porcelain " stove. You have all the amenities here that you would at home AC, Heat, Pots, Pans, Utensils, Coffee Maker, Microwave, etc., Towels, Linens, W/D unit.
TV area features Internet and Cable TV. a nice Couch that pulls out into a bed normally suited for a child (pull out beds are most likely not comfortable for an adult). Large Windows around 2 sides of the TV area allows you to look out into the back yard with a view of the water.
Bedroom features Queen bed and Bathroom features Tub/Shower combo and Tankless Water Heater(adjustable temperature to your likeness). The entire cottage is very tastefully decorated with all the comforts of home.

Screen Porch area:
From the Dinning area inside you can exit through a sliding door to the Screen Porch for music or watching TV. This area also features a small table and 4 chairs if you enjoy eating breakfast and drinking your coffee outdoors. The comfy outdoor couch on the porch is great for listening to the music and sipping on your favorite beverage.

Back Yard:
There is a Large Canoe and 2 Kayaks to go exploring and then you can enjoy cooking out on the nice stainless propane grill, we also have outdoor table with Umbrella for shade. Bicycles to go riding around the area and exploring(in the shed)

Gulf Waters:
Boat size recommendation is medium size Bay Boat up to (21-22 ft) or small to med pontoon. Bigger boats or more than 2 ft draft is not recommended. The Canal its self is good unless an excessive low tide, then once your in the Gulf waters sometimes the Low Tide can be as low as 2 feet. if you are the Avid Fisherman we are centrally located for Deep water fishing in the Gulf or the Back Country, we have a floating dock that makes tying up a breeze. Be mindful of the location of the canal coming in and out which is marked with Small White Pipes, GPS is recommended. Our canal is located between the "Sea Pines Channel"(north) and the "Hudson Beach Channel" (south) once you go out once it is fairly easy to find.

Nice quiet little hideaway to relax and get away from it all.
The property was very private and secluded in a jungle like atmosphere. Loved the landscaping with all the flowers and birds. Great access for kayak fishing in the backwaters and great restaurants for seafood. We will definitely try and come back sometime.

A quaint getaway
After coming through the 'jungle' the property is relativeky small but bijou. Perfectly adequate fron the blue enamelled stove to supersoft sofa and the lovely wooden floor. The air-conditioning is a bit loud but we have yet to find any rental with quiet a/c. Ollie's is fine for food and beer on tap particularly the Belgian white, Fisherman's Shack is under new management but it is still a loud, friendly dive.If that is not your cup of tea then make a brew, grab a book or a rod and settle down on the dock for some peace and quiet. The fishing is fun right off the dock. Overall a nice place for a wee break.

Perfect Relaxing Getaway
Just finished a week in Hudson Florida. I was apprehensive about this. Is it because of the hurricane that had just passed through the area causing a lot of flooding damage. I was originally scheduled to stay in the smaller bungalow next door, but it was not available because of this. The owner Mary offered to put me in her property next-door and it was perfect. Very clean and quiet with a gorgeous brick stone patio outback at the canal. The bed was comfortable, and I was really pleased with my stay here. Mary was wonderful to work with and checked on me a few times while I was there. I would definitely recommend the property and intend to return myself.

About the host

Host profile image
Raised in Florida since 1970
lives in Weeki Wachee
My husband and I love Tenting across America
We love Fishing, spear fishing, scalloping, bowling and Golf.
We are also Catastrophe Insurance Adjusters when needed.
We love our guests and do everything we can for them to enjoy their vacation. If you need anything let me know, I may have it at another rental.

Why they chose this property

I really love the retro and uniqueness of the home. The day we looked at the house we knew it was the house to purchase. If I did't already live on the water in Weeki Wachee I would love to live here full time. It reminds me of a little cottage in the Caribbean or the Florida Keys. There are many places to visit and it is centrally located to visit all the way down to St. Pete or all the way up to Crystal River. There is a lot of Back Country Fishing in the area.

What makes this property unique

Many windows looking out to the water and the cute Kitchen and the Rustic Tropical feel of the yard. 5 minutes idle speed to the Gulf.
Fenced Yard, very private
