3 BR 2 Bath Salt Air Retreat on Deep Water Canal Minutes to the Gulf

We use this house for friends and family so you will find it has all the amenities throughout. Three bedrooms to accommodate 6 people and a pull out sofa with powered air mattress for 2 more. Master with one King bed and en-suite bathroom. Two bedrooms with Queen beds share a full bath with tub and shower. The street is very quiet and has no through traffic. The canal out back has no through traffic either so the only boat traffic is from residents. I keep my boat on the lift so it is not available to tenants, but the floating dock is secure enough to tie up to if you don't mind your boat being in the water during your stay. There is power and water available on the dock. We do have 3 outdoor security cameras. One is focused on the boat & lift out back, one is covering the carport and one is located on the boat. You can see the listing pictures for an image of what areas are covered. The video storage device is on the property. Video is removed/deleted every 30 days. There are several restaurants and bars within a short bike ride or walking distance. Hudson Beach too is within walking distance. The main through roads in the neighborhood have sidewalks. Its a fantastic place to enjoy a quiet getaway.
I encourage you to look at the reviews from my guests and compare to reviews of other properties. The local sales tax on short term rentals is 12.00%. If you are looking at booking a property for less than 6 months I am required to charge you sales tax.
Homeaway/VRBO does charge a service charge to travelers who book online. Owners do not get any of this service charge or the Damage protection Insurance.
If your desired stay is for longer than 3 weeks please reach out for customized rates. There are some weekends that have higher rates and we may consider reducing them for the overlapping longer stays. If you are interested in dates more than 12 months in the future, please send a message with your desired dates. Also, please note the Ad may say an average price per night. This average comes from 7 night or longer stays. If your stay is less than 7 nights the rate is higher than the Average.

Family scalloping weekend
We had a great stay for a long weekend. The home was lovely and just right for our family. It was cozy and nautically decorated which was charming. Beds are comfy which is sometimes hard to find. Kitchen is super stocked which was nice. We really enjoyed the water view from the tv room. The owner is super friendly, helpful and accommodating. We’ve stayed at a variety of places over the years and we would come back here again.

Spacious, clean, and hospitable
This was a great location for my family’s summer getaway. The house has plenty of room, it is impeccably clean, and the owner/manager is very responsive. The nearby beach was closed for swimming due to red tide, but the house is only about 45 mins to 1 hour away from Clearwater Beach and Honeymoon Beach, which were open and beautiful. I highly recommend this house for anyone visiting the Tampa area.

Great spot, very close to the gulf
We really enjoyed this house. Very clean and well equipped. The ice machine was very convienent. The owner was very responsive and friendly throughout the rental process. The neighbor across the street gave us a great tip regarding 'redneck island' which was about 10 miles south from the end of the channel. It was a beautiful beach that you can anchor your boat up to. We spent a lot of time there. Local marina was helpful and friendly. Loved the area and location of this house!

Great Stay in Hudson
The house was very clean, was furnished very nicely and the owner was very responsive. The furniture and appliances were new or like new. The beds were comfortable with plenty of linens and pillows. The bathrooms were very clean and had plenty of towels. The kitchen had everything we needed for breakfast in the morning and dinner in the evening. We really enjoyed the bikes and 2 man kayak. Dock is in a deep water canal and just a few minutes away from the Hudson Beach. We'll be happy to rent again when staying in the Hudson area.

If you cook!
Everything about the salt air retreat was above par. We used the kayak numerous times to fish or just get out to a nearby bay. I do a lot of cooking and this is the first vrbo rental that actually had a very well equipped kitchen and a newer propane grill. The owner was very helpful when we left some medications in a dresser drawer, he promptly shipped them to us . If we come back to the Hudson area this is where we will be staying.My wife asked me to note that the beds were extra comfy! Thanks Kees

Exceptional Hosts
My family stayed at The Salty Retreat for Spring Break 2021 and had a wonderful time, despite the weather. The hosts made the trip!!! Their home was stocked with everything needed, as well as any extras you may not have thought of. It was cozy and super clean. The neighborhood is quiet and has several local good places to eat and we made a daily trip to a tasty ice cream shop. It is close enough to Clearwater and Tampa for sight seeing but far enough for some good old relaxing with a nice fire pit on the canal/ocean. We also kayaked at the "Salty Dog" Werner-Boyce Salt Springs State Park which was so absolutely beautiful. We would highly recommend this home and are hoping to come back.

Clean, relaxing, and convenient
Great 3/2 Home, comfy master bed, and very, very clean. Easy parking and close to some very good restaurants. The floating dock worked great for our deck boat. It takes only 5-10 minutes to get to the dock from the boat ramp and even less to the gulf for fishing and great sunsets. We also saw a dolphin jump out of the water right in front of the dock. We've stayed in other canal homes and would sometimes see a fin or breach, but this one jumped completely out to the water! We definitely recommend this home if you are looking for a nice, clean place on the water to relax.

Perfect Spring Getaway!
The property was exactly as presented on the VRBO site, and the owner/manager could not have been nicer. Since we arrived late in the evening, we declined meeting in person with the owner/manager, but he was constantly available via phone. The house and property were extremely clean and very well appointed, there was nothing else that could be asked for! We enjoyed the immediate area of Hudson, and ventured out to Tarpon Springs, Tampa, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg, all within about an hour's drive. There are many Publix, Wynn Dixie, and Walmarts in the area for provisioning and general shopping. If we return to the Tampa area again, we will certainly look into renting this house. Thank you Kees!

Hudson Retreat is a Treat
Nice clean, spacious home on a quiet canal. So nice to be able to dock our 16' skiff right behind the house- minutes to the Gulf for fishing, boat rides, and to a few restaurants. Also fished (and caught) off the dock, frequent visits by resident snowy egret, great blue herons and a wood stork. Owner and neighbors shared local fishing knowledge. House is well equipped. Bed was comfortable. Owner checked in to see if we needed anything. Convenient location for day trips to Tarpon Springs, Weeki Wachi, Homosassa or Tampa/St. Pete or you can park the car and use the bikes to get around the neighborhood. Beautiful sunsets, too! :-) :-) Spent 21 nights and wished we had some more time to spend there.

Ditto
I have to ditto everyone's comments. My wife, I and 5 grand kids had a great stay. Everything we could have wanted or needed was already there in the house. It is in an excellent location to visit the amusement parks and other attractions. We went to the Sponge Docks, Caladesi State Park Beach, Busch Gardens, and Adventure Island. When we weren't out the kids had a great time fishing in the canal off the deck. Kees (the owner) was very helpful in advising where to find things in the local area and there is easy access to about anything you need.. I have a timeshare in Hawaii and it is not as well equipped as this home. I will definitely rent this place again if I come back to this area.

Happy In Hudson
My husband and I loved our months stay in Salt Air Retreat and in the town of Hudson . The house is so cute ! It was clean, cheerful and comfortable, with a fully equipment stocked kitchen and lots of bath and kitchen towels. I had asked the owner, Walter if there was a place to hang some clothing that I didnt want to dry in the clothes dryer. He brought a clothes tree type hanger for me to hang my clothes to dry. What a nice guy ! My husband and I could look out the many windows in the rooms in the house and see the water in the canal. It was great ! We wanted to stay again next year but someone beat us to reserving it, darn it. We highly recommend this property to anyone who wants a very nice place to stay, a real "home away from home". Thanks Walter
