A paradise for boaters, fishermen, and vacationers lielvarde (Gainesville, Florida) Review submitted: August 11, 2010 Date of arrival: July 19, 2010 We had a wonderful time at Kong and Linda's rental. I took my boat on this trip to do lots of fishing. It was so convenient being able to dock the boat out back. The public ramp is only a quarter of a mile away and is free to use. Fishing was terrific! I landed my first cobia and we caught lots of 3 and 4 foot sharks. The house is conveniently located close to several very good restaurants, a few bait stores (live shrimp was always available at Cooper's), and a convenient store. We walked to the beach and restaurants on several occasions. The beach is quite small. It's sort of like the size of a nice sized back yard. There are better beaches around 7 miles south of the home, but this small beach was perfect for the kids (2 and 4 years old). I had car problems from day one and the car was in the shop for a few days during our trip. It made no difference, since everything was in walking distance (or biking distance, which there are plenty to use). The house is kept super clean. No dust, no weird smells. It was just fantastic. Even in the Florida heat of July, we were able to sit out on the deck in the evening. We fished off the deck and caught some pinfish, catfish, and a few others. Overall, this was an amazing experience and we loved every day we stayed in Hudson at Kong and Linda's rental. I would recommend this to everyone! Recommended for: age 55+, sight seeing, romantic getaway

This was one of the most relaxing of our trips to Florida. The cottage was spotless and stocked with everything you might possibly need. We enjoyed cooking out and relaxing on the deck. If you choose to go out, there are local eateries within a five minute walk. If you prefer the well known chains, they are within ten minutes drive time. The corner ice cream shop is a great place for evening treats. We found bike trails close by so we could work off the ice cream. The big beaches are also a short drive if the local beach is not to your liking. The sunsets are gorgeous. The owners met us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the house. We took their advice to heart when they said to relax and enjoy. It is a perfect location. It is out of the city, but close enough to go if you want too.

This was a very great find. We spent lots of time on the wonderful deck. It was very peaceful setting out there. It was well appointed and convenient to our needs for daily drives to check the area out. The Inn on the Gulf is a great restaruant. I would recommend to anyone going to the area.

"Unforgettable" is the word. - What a lovely comfortable cottage, with everything one would need. Bicycles for adults and children - even an adult "three-wheeler". A paddle boat with a small motor to "chug" along the canal. Fishing rods for fishing off the deck that overlooks the water. Wait until the dark when you can turn on the lovely lights on the deck We had a lovely experience staying in the cottage, even when the weather wasn't as nice as we would have liked.

We spent a week at the end of May in this beautiful cottage and absolutely loved it. It had such homey touches and furnishings and everything we needed was provided. We spent all of our early mornings and evenings out on the deck in the Tiki Hut. Haven't been that relaxed in ages. The location was perfect,too, as you could walk down to the Gulf and get a bite to eat and have some "boat" drinks or head up to Rt. 19 and travel wherever you wanted. Under an hour away is Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park, a great place to see manatees! Thanks, Kong and Linda, for providing such a great "home away from home"! Barbara and Carol, Dingmans Ferry,PA

This property was perfect for 6 women on a long weekend getaway! We had plenty of room to cook some great meals, enjoy drinks on the deck on the canal, and for all of us to sleep rather comfortably. The property was very clean and the management very hospitable and welcoming. The beach in Hudson is not ideal for us seasoned beachcombers, but the house made up for the shortcomings in the local beach. Also, Sam's, the local hangout was fun for a night of good priced drinks and dancing! Great vacation! Tiffany, Newport Beach,CA

I had originally booked this lovely little cottage for a week and fell in love upon arrival. I was lucky enough to be able to extend my stay for a second week. The owners of this property have thought of everything that make staying here cozy and comfortable. The place is spotless and very tastefully decorated in "beach cottage" style. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with every cooking utensil and gadget you could possibly need. There is a huge tiki hut in the back yard that sits over the water. There are several restaurants and an ice-cream shop within easy walking distance. Hudson Beach, an easy walk from the cottage, is a small realistic slice of real Florida. This was a working visit for me and I spent many an hour using my laptop out on the deck. The wireless access included in the rental was a real bonus for me. I would happily recommend this rental to anyone who wants a quiet Florida retreat setting. Shopping & theaters are a simple 5 minute drive. Beautiful place!

We truly enjoyed our weeklong stay at Kong and Linda's cottage and it was indeed, "unforgettable". We relaxed on the great deck under the tiki hut in the back yard, took our boat out exploring the waters and fishing and did lots of shopping at the nearby stores. It really was a fun time and the weather could not have been better! The home is decorated very nicely, kept spotless and all the amenities are up to date. A great retreat! Thanks!
