Waterfront Tropical Paradise With A Spectacular Gulf View.
About this house rental
Located in Hudson, this charming house for R 3,105 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. If you are looking for a waterfront vacation with a Key West feel, then this is your destination. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! This home is located toward the end of the exclusive peninsula of Driftwood Isles and is at the end of the road. Once you arrive you will notice that the house is spread over two lots with vacant lots on both sides. Beautiful canals border two sides of the property. If privacy is what you want then this is it. Step into the front door to a beautifully remodeled home done in colors with a Key West theme. Both bedrooms feature walk in closets. The living room boasts a queen sleeper leather sofa in front of a 50" large screen tv. The dining area overlooks the Florida room and oh, what a room it is. 12'X30' long and completely shielded from the elements (if you want) or open one of 11 large screened windows to let the Gulf breeze through. Walk out through the Florida room into the back yard and be prepared to have your breath taken away. The view is spectacular with water all around. Sit on the patio and have coffee or under the corner umbrella to enjoy a cold beverage. Dolphins and manatees are almost a daily sight as they move through the canal or into the Gulf. Like to fish? Snook, snapper, redfish, sheepshead and large jacks all swim in front of the seawall. Got a fishing boat? Tie it to the floating dock or keep it at the local marina for 24 hour Gulf access. Access to the open Gulf is tide restrictive from the house. Contact the owner for more info. His and hers bikes are provided so you can take a ride around and see the sights. A one car garage and two covered carports keep your vehicles out of the weather. Like palm trees? There are no less than 37 palm trees on the property and one of the largest ear trees that you will ever see. The shade covers all of the Florida room and part of the house. Sitting out on the patio by the water at night is an experience that you won't forget. The neighborhood is VERY quiet at night .

We had a great relaxing time. The owner checked in often to make sure our needs were met. The lot was huge and we spent most of our time out there soaking up the the atmosphere. Would definitely book again. Loved it.

Ron and Lynda were great to work with! Beautiful property and very accurate listing. The canal was great with dolphin and manatee sitings almost every day! Very comfortable property and we hope to stay there again! Well done!

If you have kayaks and want to see manatee, kayak in the gulf and relax with really nice people around you, this is the place! It’s the perfect location for sea sports and walking distance to all things beach. We saw Dolphin 🐬 right at the house Launch your own kayak right in front of you. Perfect location on the gulf! The place is cozy, it definitely needs upgrades but nothing noticeable or that obvious when you’re enjoying your vacation. Linda and Ron are exceptional hosts and are there quickly for any of your needs! The beds are very comfortable and the place has everything you need to enjoy your stay .

Great 2nd stay at this location. Love this place. Beautiful tropical, coastal setting with privacy in a quiet neighborhood. Great for couples or families. Superb interaction with owners and timeliness in getting air conditioning fixed, which salvaged our stay by a couple days. We would stay again if given the opportunity.

We had a wonderful vacation at this cottage. The views are amazing and the property is spacious. Dolphins came by every day.Inside is a very comfortable home which is equipped with anything you might need. The master bed is very comfortable. Ron and his wife are great hosts.He contacted us the morning after we checked in to make sure everything was ok and to ask if we needed anything else. Before arriving, the communications with Ron were very good. We would definitely rent this home again!! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!!!

Comfortable beds, excellent A/C (a must have in Florida) and nice view of the bay. Unfortunately, the fish eluded us. Although house is mostly remodeled, it could use some TLC. We found some great local restaurants and highly recommend the Suncoast Broadway Dinner Theatre.

I think the weekend rental price was great anywhere else that we checked was higher in price and the place wasn’t as beautiful.

From the time of walking through the front door we felt like we were home, then walking out back to the peaceful area on the water with fish jumping and dolphin playing, it was like no other.
Very thankful to our host for opening up their home to me and my family.

We loved our stay. I like to start with the mattress, and it was very comfortable. It was nice to have properly working appliances and the cookware and cutlery were all in great shape. There was ample dishes and silverware. The house was really stocked well. The interior was clean as were the grounds.
We loved the nightly sunset, the view is picturesque. Plenty of waterfront to fish or just sit outside and read a book. We had our visits from the area dolphins, at least once a day. The neighborhood is quiet and the house is easily accessed from hwy 19.
Glad we chose this house.

We were welcomed with the peace and quite of the property. Beautiful location close to beaches. We fished from the dock everyday and enjoyed feeding the ducks and squirrels. We will definitely be back to stay.

Our family had a great time! The hosts are so warm and very communicative, really genuinely nice people. The home is right on the water and in such a calm and quiet location. Our kids loved feeding the ducks and squirrels who were waiting for their morning snack. I would highly recommend staying there. Clean, inviting home, lovely hosts, easy to check in, and overall great energy in the home. We'll definitely stay there again when we come back to visit!

We truly enjoyed our stay. The previous VRBO guests reviews had intrigued us. The location on the canal and the stone's thow distance from the gulf was perfect. My partner, Dan, enjoyed fishing-although he was not having much luck until Lynda suggested using mullet as bait. The canal water was clear. There was a plethora of fish and the visits from the dolphins were amazing. We were lucky to have warm days and cool nights for sleeping with the windows open. The view of the sunset from the backyard was stunning. We enjoyed eating at the local restaurants on the water and preparing meals at the house. We look forward to returning.

The owners really are fantastic… We had one small need that they addressed within minutes of arriving… The house just feels like “Florida”… and you can tell that the owners are really proud and enjoy making this home special. We loved the quiet evenings and the most… The manatee blew my mind… it’s real!!! We did see dolphins and fed the squirrels as everyone said… It seems that at 6 PM everything comes alive! My son and I floated in front of the house on some tubes during high tide… We went over to Sun West Park. We ate at whiskey Joe’s… We had the perfect quiet Florida weekend… Thank you so much!

We booked this home at the last minute and were very happy that it was available. I was really looking for someplace on the water , with a view , where we could sit and relax. Someplace where my sons and their fiancés and my 2 year old granddaughter could stay. My in laws who snowbird in Homosassa came down with their little yorkies just for the day and of course I asked Ron first since we didn’t pay a pet deposit . The home was on a beautiful and large lot. It had 3 different hard spaces/areas to sit outside. Large screened in porch where you could open the windows and get a great cross breeze. Lots of Adirondack chairs . The kitchen had everything we neeeded . Beds were comfortable and plenty of places to sit in the living and dining area . 2 bathrooms are always a bonus . WiFi worked great , grill worked great , house was spotless . Had plenty of dishes and cups and other pantry items we could use . Big fridge in the kitchen . Easy access , great communication and very relaxing . We even stayed an extra day at the last minute . Ohana is everything and the memories we made are priceless . My granddaughter had so much fun . We also swam in the canal off the dock when the tide was high . We captured lots of pictures of Dolphins, the squirrels, the heron and ducks. We appreciate Ron and Lynda sharing their home with us and we will be back . NOTE: They don’t have kayaks but their are lots of places close and they deliver . EASY PEASY kayaks or bring your own . The view is great!!

We really enjoyed our stay. The property was very clean and comfortable. During the day we fished and enjoyed the visits from the friendly birds and squirrels.

We will definitely be back!!

Great quiet lot. Suggest more than one garbage bag, roll of paper towel and TP or mention that you need to bring. Consider some pan spray or grill spray.
Decor was very nicely done. The waterway was excellent to sit outside.
