Charming seaside stay

My family absolutely loved our week that we spent here. It’s in the coolest little neighborhood and it’s so nice being able to kayak right from the backyard. The house was clean and cozy and was so well stocked. It really felt like home for a week.

Wonderful time

We had a wonderful time staying here. The owner had everything you might could need, even down to toothbrushes and toothpaste if forgot yours. On our last morning I saw a dolphin in the canal so that was great too. The house was very clean and if you like kayaking, kayaks are there to use, or you could just sit on the dock and relax or fish and enjoy the water

Pictures don't do this VRBO justice!

We liked this place the moment we walked through the door. It had everything we needed and the location was great. It had friendly neighbors and there were lots ofeateries, bars, and stores close by. The best feature was the two docks and kayaks which we really enjoyed. We will definitely be back!neighbors

Relaxing !!

Very cute home and yard. Kayaking was so fun! King sized beds were comfortable and neighborhood was quiet and so peaceful. We loved sitting on the covered pier watching the birds and fish. Met a very sweet neighbor who made us feel very welcome and even kayaked with us. Definitely would recommend!

The property was exactly what we expected. My dog loved his space the Florida room. I wish the fishing would have been better. If you look at pictures and expect a high end property you're being unrealistic. There's a small beach within a couple of miles. The neighborhood is quiet and tight. The pictures are accurate you could have 4 adults and a pet and be comfortable

Canal home

We really did enjoy our last minute stay at this house. It was an older home, clean, Florida room did attract bugs. Out back could use some updating, but we would definitely come back. We had a wonderful weekend with our family and enjoyed the home and canal views. The kayaks were the best things ever!! The owner was so easy to get a hold of and responsive and so kind. The neighbors were friendly. The area is close to everything you need. We would definitely come back.

Great mid location to everything! 30 day stay!

My husband and I are moving here and needed a place to check out the different neighborhoods in the area. The location is perfect. We really fell in love with Hudson. The house is very cute and comfortable. Has mostly all that you need(kitchen could use a few more dishes and a dish rack) and beds were quite comfortable. A few small issues here and there but nothing to crazy. The backyard is the best! Right on a canal with lots of birds and fish! Neighbors are very nice as well. All in all we really loved it and we definitely book again! Thank you to our hostess for being so gracious and kind. Brian and Michelle

Little Gem on the Sea

Very cute house right on a canal with a boat dock and fenced yard. Very well stocked with all your needs. Very clean and tidy with quality linens and towels. Great communication with owner. The only drawback is this is t a good home for people with some disabilities. My husband is blind and there are 2 areas inside with 2-3 inch changes in floor level. He tripped quite a few times because he would forget they were there. Not at all a problem if you can see. I can see it might be an issue for a wheelchair person as well. Overall we were VERY happy with our stay and loved the home!
