Home from home (but nicer by the water)
We had a lovely stay in this property. Everything we could possibly need was there except a sunlouger would have been nice so that I could have relaxed in comfort whilst my husband was fishing. The pool was simply amazing, it felt so fresh and clean and the tempature was perfect. All lounge seating and bed were really comfortable (once we discovered the bed firmness could be changed via a remote, we then had a lovely soft mattress). Fab huge TV in the lounge which we enjoyed in the evenings. The immediate area was very quiet and to be honest there isn't much to do locally (that we found) but when you have such a lovely home to stay in it doesn't matter. There is a great pizza place just up the road. Great taste and price. Don our contact was very easy to contact and he came back with answers to any questions quickly. Altogether a great stay. Thank you.

About the host

Hosted by Don Himes

Host profile image
We have been living in 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 find ourselves an opportunity to be in New Zealand for a year. We have just returned from a long cruise on to the Bahamas. Once returning from New Zealand we intend on living and cruising on our boat for a time.
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 renting his second home in Hudson just a block away and is also a member of the local 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.

t'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.
