Wonderful stay! Home was exactly as advertised. Very clean and kitchen was well stocked. Enjoyed fishing from the dock and saw manatees. Already booked vacation to return here next year. Can’t wait!
The house was nicely modernized & well equipped. The host, Rick, was very responsive to all our questions. The weather was a bit cool to enjoy kayaks & the nice yard, but the house was pretty & very comfortable.

Awesome place to stay. Everything was super clean and well equipped. Really enjoyed kayaking . Super friendly neighbourhood. Depending on the wind, Highway can be heard.
The property was absolutely amazing. Everything was clean and had everything you could possibly need. It direct access to water and plenty of restaurants and shops near by. Definitely recommend.
We loved staying here. It was a dream location for us, quiet and relaxing with plenty to do. We saw dolphins and manatees, herons and ducks from (or in) the front lawn. We had our own private dock for fishing or just relaxing. Loved the kayaks. The large screened in porch became a great family gathering place. We had all that we needed and more.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Hudson. The house was beautiful...tastefully decorated and so clean. All the amenities were there, all in perfect condition.
This rental is easily one of the nicest we’ve ever stayed in. The whole house and contents are in great condition and the owner has made sure everything is organized and well designed. The location was lovely for watching all the birds on the canal and the area was very walkable. We highly recommend a stay here!
We had an amazing stay. We enjoy all the amenities offered. The fishing was good. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Thank you. We will return.
