We had a wonderful stay at Ben's place. It was so relaxing and we saw so much wildlife. Many species of birds, dolphins, manatees, sting rays and so many different kinds of fish. Our son had a great time fishing off the dock. The house is lovely and the back of the house is the perfect place to relax.

This property was the perfect getaway. We had a family member that was being treated at the hospital for an extended period of time. The house was beautiful and the perfect reprieve after long days. Very much enjoyed being on the water and the local restaurants/ bars. Property was incredibly clean, and the host was great with communication.

Great property

We would definitely stay here again. Property was clean, comfortable and in a lovely location. Just a couple months after Hurricane Helene came through so the area was a little rough but the property was already fixed up and has enough privacy with the dock and outdoor space to feel like we were in a wonderful spot. I would highly recommend.

Great location and plenty of room for family

This property was in a great location for our needs and it was very spacious. Loved the open floor plan on the first floor. This location is also great for my little one who was able to walk around both inside and outside since the property was fenced in the back. We saw 4 manatee on the trip and overall it was pretty quiet in the area at night.

Spring break

We had a wonderful time staying in this quaint Hudson property. Woke up to 6 manatees swimming around the dock, and daily visits from baby ducks. The house was great for our 4 adults and 2 kids, we loved using the kayaks and exploring the canal!

Hudson Beach canal house

Lots of wildlife - eagles, ospreys, herons, storks, cormorants, manatees, dolphin. Enjoyed the use of kayaks. Unfortunately the 2 restaurants within easy walking distance were closed due to hurricane Helene damage. Neighborhood is still recovering from the hurricanes. Beautiful sunsets.
