About this property

Relax in your chair on the floating dock as the tide rolls in & catch a few fish

Home on the water with EV outlet & floating dock and screened lanai. Water is a wide canal, near a waterway intersection that leads to the Gulf. This two bedroom two bath complete home with views of the water from most spots in the house is waiting for you to enjoy the view. Enjoy all the moods of the water. Includes a carport, 3 person canoe, 2 kayaks, & laundry. Kitchen nicely equipped with toaster, microwave, full size oven, and of coarse utensils, and standard pots and pans.
Heating and ac are provided by individual units in each room. We provide cleaning supplies and toilet paper to last the first couple days to a week depending on number of people and how much you use etc. If you rent for 30 days there is a discount to assist in purchasing more supplies.
Our boat is sometimes parked on the dock and we reserve the right to access the dock and the shed in the driveway. These are shared spaces. Also use the dock at your own risk. Please be very careful especially at low tide since the sea wall could be 4’-5’ above the water level and water is very shallow at the sea wall. Please also wear a life vest if you can’t swim near the sea wall or on the ramp or dock.
We can have it shifted along the dock if you are bringing one upon request. Forty minutes from Tampa Bay, but not during rush hour. Not far from many beaches, state parks and you can use the 3 person canoe or kayaks to explore the local bird sanctuary just for you & our neighbors. Busch Gardens and a water park are both located in Tampa. St. Pete Beach and Clearwater are about 50 minutes away as well as the Greek town of Tarpon Springs about a half hour away all to the south. Check out Fred Howard Park, one of our favorite beaches out on a causeway in the inner-coastal. If you smoke in our home you will be charged $350 for special cleaning fee. The nature coast of Florida is really something to behold!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We really enjoyed our stay at this location. It has amazing views by the water and beautiful sunsets. Lots of natural beauty, including dolphins swimming in the canal behind the home and great accessibility for Boat. It was really a nice place. I would recommend it anytime.

Very good property for the money! The house was sufficient for the money. Don’t expect it to be buffed out and solid…but it was clean. It’s a mobile home/manufactured home…but in a very nice location with a great view. The neighborhood is semi-sketch…lower end beach community on the rise. But again, a very good value!

Most of the negative reviews are spot on. Fortunately i did not see any bugs so maybe that is taken care of. The view from the tv room and lanai is awesome. However, the inside was just not clean. They might come in and vacuum but once in awhile a deep clean is a necessity. Back door deadbolt does not work. Many of the tv room windows do not lock. Oven looks like it has never been cleaned. The smell (water damage? Mildew?) was strong. The furnace/ac doesn’t work so you have to use window units or space heaters.

Recently remodeled. Still doing some trim work. 4x a year we do a deep cleaning, spray for bugs, and after every guest the floors get steam mopped, bathrooms are scrubbed, light dusting, linnens washed, applianced cleaned, etc. The oven is regularly clean. Pictures are helpful for future refrence. If you have any issues, concerns, we are available through the vrbo app and can have most things taken care of wIthin 24 hours. We were there in March and other guests as well didnt smell any problems, all the walls were opened up, floor is brand new, and all the sub floor was ripped out preasure wahsed, treated with mold killer/preventer, dried out, and re-installed. No mold in that house. In the future, communication is key to a happy stay. Unfortunately, we can‘t help your stay be better after you leave.

Peaceful retreat

We really love this place it’s spacious and it’s laid out really well. There’s room to be by yourself or there’s room to be with a group they thought of everything there’s multiple TVs there’s Wi-Fi the kitchens fully equipped there’s even spices and garbage bags. There’s plenty of towels there’s even soap and shampoo like a luxury hotel. You can sit there all day watching the tide come in and out and every now and then you’ll see a blue heron, or some other seabird, a lovely place to stay, and we weren’t even fission swimming or boating I saw multiple kayakers come by pontoon boats, the neighbor next-door Fisht all day Sunday the guy across the way had his grandchildren out for a little ride. It was fun.

All about the Excellent view, the screened in porch and the water access

Upon opening the door we were greeted with very old dirty smell. The sheets in the master bedroom had blood stains on them, the pillows were all flat and worn out, bed had the black material shredded and hanging down. Towels were worn and stained, Coffee cups weren't clean, food left in the cabinets and on counter, ROACH in the frig, used toiletries, used shampoos, used soaps left in bathtubs. The worst part was every night when we came home and turned on the lights, tons of roaches ran across the kitchen bar area. There are several dehumidifiers running to help with the moisture. Now we realize the owners may not know that their professional cleaners are not professional so we give them the benefit of the doubt. *The thing that really got us, on the day when we were driving there, at last minute we get a notice from the owner that we owe them an additional $50 !!!! We contacted Vrbo and they took care of it right away, saying that the owner had no right to charge us extra. That lost our trust right away that they would try charging us at the last hour when they had received all our non-refundable payment a month ago, made us wonder if others went ahead and paid extra when they should not have?? We frequently stay in Hudson in trailers or condos on the water threw Vrbo and have never had this cleanliness issue. Sorta of disappointing that there was not ever any personal contact with the owners. Perhaps it was because they have video cameras through out and could watch and perhaps hear us. We are Seniors, clean, respectful non partying people. Makes us a little wary of the next rental we get in Hudson. Too bad. Disappointing. It could be a great place to stay with many corrections done.

We have a professional cleaner and when greeted with a bad smell we would appreciate some communication about that fact before you check out and ideally upon arrival. As well as the other issues you mentioned that I have a very hard time believing. Blood stains on sheets, etc. The only food left in the frig and on counter would be condiments in the frig and coffee, sugar, spices, etc in cupboards or counter tops. We purchase large body soap & shampoo containers for our guests and this is the first time someone has complained about that. Around this time there was an infestation that we immediately closed our rental and had the home shut for 3 weeks to eliminate the bug problem. I wish you would have told us about this during your stay so we could have addressed it right away. We have two approved cameras on the exterior of the house that isn't "through out". One is to watch driveway and one is to watch the floating dock, tide & our boat. We have had many happy guests and stayed many weeks in this home and it is a great place and have not had the terrible issues you claim you had. We are terribly sorry for the parts of your review that were true and we would communicate with the owner upon almost every issue you claim occurred. We are always available to make your stay your best vrbo stay.

I didn’t stay, showed up and left within 15 minutes. Bugs, moldy smell and the central air conditioning doesn’t work. There is however a couple of small window air conditioners that may or may not cool the place down. I messaged the host politely and said that the place isn’t up to my standards and that I wasn’t staying. He sent me the whole how great his place is and how great the cleaning company is just like he did in all the previous bad reviews. I told him that a reasonable compromise would be to charge me for one night and refund the rest, his response was “ you paid for it, you’re welcome to stay “ I look forward to his lame rebuttal, I could probably write it for him

Left right after arriving

We arrived while the cleaning lady was still there. She had to let us in because our code did not work. We bought in our luggage and walked around the house. It had a strong mold/mildew odor. We did not feel comfortable staying so we cancelled our plans and went home. I informed the owner of the smell and asked for a refund only for the cleaning and pet fee. I understood that since we booked 3 nights and he couldn't book it now that he would lose money. I felt just asking for the cleaning fee was fair since he didn't need to pay the cleaning lady to come after us. He responded that he would look into this. I never heard anything about a partial refund and never got one. It's been 3 weeks now.

Thank you for your review. I believe you showed up to the house early and that is why the cleaning staff wasn’t finished and your code wasn’t enabled yet. All the other guests this year before and guests after you didn’t have a problem with any oder. But I understand some people have a stronger sensitivity than others. Both the pet and cleaning fee have been refunded through the Vrbo app.

What a little paradise on the water! Very quiet neighborhood and you have everything you need in the rental. Internet was great for me to be able to work, and we so enjoyed sitting on the dock for sunsets and in the morning. The screened in lanai was great. We enjoyed having it as a home base while we explored the area.

About the host

Hosted by Peter Larsen

Host profile image
We live in Colorado much of the year, but stay down in Florida as often as we can being beach and water people. We love sailing the gulf and hope to be able to charter a boat in the Virgin Islands and check out the amazing water and islands in the area. We are members of a boating club down there and if your interested may be able to get you out on one of our members boats for a sail:)

Why they chose this property

We have another home in the area with a pool, but not on the water. It has been our dream to have a place on the water. We put lots of love into this place and she is quite the home! The Lord allowed us to pick this up and do some major renovations and get her looking and feeling good. The neighborhood is quiet and allows you to hear all the birds and sounds of nature. You can go for a swim and utilize the swim ladder on the dock, of course at your own risk. Please watch for the muscles and other shellfish that attach themselves to the dock as they are very sharp. We recommend wearing water shoes.

What makes this property unique

The proximity to the water, the many windows on the water side of the house, large screened in lanai, and not far from some epic beaches, state and theme parks!
