Tropical Tree-house Waterfront Gulf Ocean & natural springs wildlife retreat

If you are looking for a place to relax, you will love the upper level of this 2006 built stilt home! It is a tropical paradise retreat with over 45 feet of waterfront direct-access gulf frontage for your own personal enjoyment. This private property on the coastal canal waterfront is situated on a quiet seaside residential cul-de-sac with only seven other homes. The sandy beach style 'yard' has a large patio and dock overlooking a 90-foot wide natural canal known as 'cow creek'. About 100 yards to the west of this property is the open gulf. To the east lie natural canals with freshwater springs. Water views from most rooms.
There is a very private feel to this area with lots of water and trees and lush landscape. However, if you feel like getting out, there is plenty of dining, shopping, golfing, and night life to enjoy within a mile or so of the house. The home is fully furnished with a Queen size bed in the Master, two twin beds in the second bedroom, a fold-out loveseat sleeper and large sofa in the great room/living room. The dining table in the great room is also a pool and ping-pong table!
Sit at the tropical back patio with firepit and barbeque and you will view nature at its best! Many varieties of Ocean fish and Sea birds: Manatee, Dolphin, Sheepshead, Mullet, Gar, LadyFish, Snook, redfish, small stingray, turtles, sea otters, Pelicans, Ducks, Heron, egrets, Osprey, Eagle, Woodpecker, Blue Jay, and much more. This bay is a fisherman's paradise with a bait shop just a short walk down the lane! The water in this salt water and spring-fed canal is remarkably clear and fish can be seen most any time from the patio and decks. there is a 10 x 12 foot dock for your your boating and swimming holiday pleasure. You will also have use of my Mad River Canoe with stabilizers to explore miles of nearby ocean and spring fed waterways, tropical lagoon, and wetlands. There are also 4 kayaks and 2 inflatable paddle boards. If you want to rent a motor boat they are available at the port of Hudson marina less than one mile away, or a few other marinas in the area, or feel free to bring your own boat.
You will be renting the upper level of the home and western half of the yard and beach. The separate lower level unit and east portion of the property is used by me (the owner). You will have the west portion and half the 90 foot waterfront for your own personal enjoyment. I have a separate entrance to my own living space, so I won't disturb your privacy. Please note that the base rental price is for 2 people, or one person and one pet. Additional persons, or pets are $15 per individual, per night.
Large and small dogs and cats will be accepted with the same fee as an additional boarder ($15 per night, per pet). We do extensive cleaning/disinfecting between rentals. You will be responsible to keep your pet leashed and clean up their waste. Pet Flea prevention is highly recommended in Florida any time of the year.
Smoking is allowed only outdoors and in the covered screened porch areas. I've set-up the porch to be as comfortable and relaxing as any other room in the house and you can even watch the cable from there. Legal intoxicants are allowed, please use responsibly and observe neighborly courtesy.
