About the host

Hosted by Don Himes

Host profile image
Mermaid has been our home since 2016. We have a sailing catamaran called DAME which is a play on our names together. She is moored on the property while we are away awaiting our next adventure on her. We love to travel and found ourselves with an opportunity to be in New Zealand for a year. We have cruised the Bahamas.

We bought an RV and are now "land cruising". In the summer of 2024 we did a trip from Florida to Canada and Alaska. What an adventure.

We chose this home due to its location and quick access to the Gulf. We both believe that homes die when empty and want to share our beautiful home with our guests. Hudson is a wonderful Gulf front community offering many amenities with a beach atmosphere, boating, fishing and waterfront restaurants.

We were lucky to befriend Don Himes who is managing our property for VRBO. Don has been managing VRBO's in Hudson since 2014 and is also an officer of the local Hudson Beach Yacht Club. He has a 4.9 out of 5-star rating and understands what people want.

Our hope is that you enjoy our home and the community.

Why they chose this property

We are long time sailors who wanted a home on the Gulf with easy access to same.

It's location at the corner of two canals, one of which is the main access to the Gulf was ideal.

Hudson is a great little town on the Gulf that's not too touristy but close enough to major attractions to be an excellent base of operations.

What makes this property unique

Great kitchen living area.
Located on two canals
Quiet neighborhood with great neighbors
Near all the Gulf Coast has to offer
Deck and dock area are great, many hours sepnt just enjoying the view.
