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.

Definitely a backyard oasis
This place was definitely a great stay for the price. I had 2+ me and it had a pull couch but course you felt the bar across the mattress. The bedroom was always hot even with the window ac cranked up as high as it could go. The back yard was amazing, very well shaped. I highly recommend a mosquito repellent (think I left one there, you’re welcome). The shower I just could not figure out. I would get it hot but then I pulled the lever up for the shower part and it was kind of cold/lukewarm-ish. The 2 keys for the house was a little frustrating to me. The door is just stubborn and old. I did go kayaking and saw 2 small alligators poke there head up at me in the canal headed to the gulf.

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.

Great kayaking spot!
Loved the location for kayaking. Launch attached to dock makes kayak entry/exit super easy. Clear shallow water for seeing fish and short paddle to the open Gulf. Nice secluded tropical surroundings in quiet neighborhood. Nearby seafood restaurants with reasonable prices and many parks and preserves to explore.

This was a perfect affordable place close to it all! FYI there is a great beach I found halfway through my trip just north of the property, not clearwater but better than Hudson Beach. The property was fully stocked with little extras. I loved the patio and back porch. Also Sam's is a great place to eat! Enjoy!!

Like a Jungle paradise!
This cottage was adorable and very comfortable. We enjoyed our 4 nights there very much. We took the kayaks out one afternoon which was really fun. The kitchen is very functional, we cooked all of our meals while there. The host was super responsive to our questions and we would not hesitate to stay again if we had cause to be in the Hudson area.
