Very caring hosts

The house was extremely clean which is very important to us. Also upon arrival it was well stocked with necessities so that we did not have to immediately run out to the store. The house was lovely and the front yard was amazing. The hosts were extremely friendly and called a couple of times to ensure that we were not having any problems. A very nice place to stay.

Great property and location for anglers. John went above and beyond by helping us launch the boat at the community's private boat ramp. The property is very well kept with great gulf access. We had an amazing time exploring the waters. Will definitely be back again.

Awesome place!

This was our second time visiting. We love the property and the house was very clean and well stocked. The fence surrounding the yard is sturdy and we wanted to make sure our little kids (2&3) were safe, so that was a huge draw for us to the property. It was so easy to communicate with Sharon about anything. There is a brewery right down the street we’d walk to some nights. We picked up some food at Philly’s, ate at Get Hooked and Inn on the Gulf, and had way too much ice cream at the Hudson Ice Cream Shop! We traveled a little north to go to Weeki Wachee Springs State Park to see the mermaid show and south to go to Honeymoon Island State Park. We also went to the Hudson Beach near the Inn. My husband fished as much as he could and we had enough for two fish dinners! Of course, we enjoyed paddling out to a little sandbar right outside the canals and playing there - great and shallow spot for our kids at low tide! We loved it and can’t wait to return!

Perfect for us!

It's hard to find places that will allow a large breed dog so we were so grateful to have found this listing! Our family of 4, plus our Great Dane, thoroughly enjoyed our week at Sharon & John's place! We had plenty of space for the 4 of us, the place was clean, well stocked, and as described. The true gem of the property is the backyard/dock! It's right on the channel (w/ direct access to the Gulf), completely fenced in and set up for socializing. We absolutely loved the availability of the kayaks and canoe...used them daily! Husband did some successful fishing and crabbing off the dock. Hudson, the location of the house, is outside of the big tourist areas (which we wanted!)... but still very conveniently located. We day-tripped to Clearwater beach, Weeki Watchee area, and enjoyed outlet shopping in Lutz on a stormy day...all within an hour or so. Beaches are more limited in this area, but again, we were plenty happy day tripping for beaches or just enjoying the channel/nearby sand bar. If you are looking for a good sit down meal - try Whiskey Joe's or Sam's on the Beach! Both were very good and had relaxing outdoor seating. Sharon was incredibly accommodating and informative. She went out of her way to make sure we had what we needed and even thought ahead about our kids and dog. I cannot say enough good things really.... THANK YOU again Sharon & John. We have already recommended your place to other family who regularly come in and out of the area!

Peaceful Relaxing Getaway

My husband & I along with our 3 pups spent a week here & it was amazing. Perfect size house for us with an amazing yard right on the water & we were grilling every night. The pups ran around the yard playing & looked out off the dock while we were fishing. They LOVED it & so did we. We also went canoeing EVERY day... it was absolutely wonderful & i can't say enough about the incredible sunset view. It was a MUCH needed relaxing & peaceful getaway!! We were sad to leave but already planning our next trip back! Thank you John & Sharon We WILL be back!!

We had an absolutely AMAZING stay! Went Kayaking nearly every morning and evening to watch the sunrise and sunset and can’t describe how stunning it was! Loved hanging out on the dock fishing and letting the dogs swim whenever we weren’t out. House was incredibly clean and well maintained as well! 100/10 would recommend!

Perfect stay

We had an amazing time staying in Signal Cove! The house was adorable! It had everything we needed. The fenced in yard was really nice to have since we brought our children. Having the dock, fishing poles, and kayaks was such a bonus! We fished, explored the mangroves we even had dolphins swimming along with us as we canoed! There is a nice sandbar at the end of the channel where the kids swam and we were able to explore! There are beaches and beach bars nearby also which we really enjoyed! The communication was awesome and we felt like we could contact Sharon and John whenever we needed! They were attentive and very welcoming! We hope to visit again! Highly recommend!

Fantastic vacation home!

We had an amazing time staying at Sharon and John’s waterfront home! They have absolutely thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable and fun as possible! The home is spotless and in such a great location. We loved having use of the kayaks and going out to the sandbar nearby and to the Gulf to kayak with the dolphins. We were able to fish from the dock and feed the fish which was a lot of fun! We can’t thank Sharon and John enough for sharing their wonderful home with us! We will surely be back!

We had the BEST time!

This property is exactly as advertised! What the description cannot tell you is how much of a homely feel it has. It truly did feel like home away from home. The area is very peaceful and it was easy to spend down time simply sitting in the garden and watching the water. Our hosts were very helpful and welcoming. We would be very happy to stay in their home again and in fact are already hoping to plan another trip. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Great place for a family

Our family stayed the week of Christmas 2019. Sharon and John even set up a small tree for us! We truly appreciated how very clean the home was! There were many extras such as air mattresses, extra pillows, plenty of bathroom towels, as well as many supplies such as paper towels, detergent, soap, etc. The home was spacious with a beautiful large kitchen table for us to play games and eat dinner at. I can see how many visitors love the fenced in area if they brought their dogs or had small children. We tried a little fishing without much luck and didn't see much in the canal while there but mostly we loved being together, being in the sun, going to the beaches, as well as our daily visits to Hudson Beach ice cream shop. The neighborhood is very quiet, beds are comfortable so we slept great and were able to relax!

Hidden Gem- Absolutely amazing!

From the moment i booked to even after the moment i left, the owners were in constant communication. Called us on the way to ensure our gps navigated us to the exact spot, called us when they noticed we were not docked when a huge storm ripped through the area and then messaged us to make sure we arrived home safely. The house was nicely decorated. the beds were very comfy. plenty of space to unpack and store everything. Kitchen was well stocked (only thing i wish it had, a dishwasher- but no biggy). the house was clean, hvac worked amazing- for the house stayed cool. Owner provided everything from bath soap, laudry detergent, clorox wipes, dish soap etc. Literally just bring food. I loved the fact that i could bring my fur baby. Quiet neighborhood. Walmart, Dollar General, dollar tree, home depot super close. now the gem part: the backyard is spectacular. Beautifully landscaped, fenced in , fish cleaning area with running water, steps to lauch Kayak or canoe (which owner provides) dock well maintained, furniture is very nice and relaxing. very quick ride to the channel. Owner allows you to lauch boat from the private community boat ramp. Warning: if you have never been to hudson " skinny boat is key" we did okay in a 24ft nautic star , the channel is not wide and only deep in a few places. came back one night at low tide (very scary) not sure i want to know what the winter tides would draw out. these flats increased 1ft per mile. Enjoyed Antioch Keys (beauitiful sandbar like beach area) , stilt homes were an amazing sight. We tried many restaurants for what its worth, I was not a fan of Franks or whiskey river. i thought both had bad service and over priced for bad food. I was blown away by the steak tacos from Captain Jacks and the redneck nachos from Sharkbites. both resturants you could pull boat up to, great food & service (sharkbites is dog friendly) Highly recommend staying at Signal Cove , it was a vacation that we will never forget...

About the host

Hosted by Sharon and John Smith

5th generation Floridian. Favorite thing to do is catch big fish or just to have a great day on the water with family and friends🐠

Why they chose this property

Tie a boat to your private dock located on a channel with direct access to the Gulf. It doesn't get any better! Canal is on a cul-de-sac, so it is nice and quiet with almost no boat traffic. As your are having a meal outside on the seawall, no telling what might swim by. Anything from a large snook, manatee, dolphin or just watch the snappers and sheep head that are always around the dock. If it's hot just jump on in.

What makes this property unique

We purchased this home because we have vacationed in Hudson for the last fifteen years and fell in love with everything about the area. We love to spend time on the water or just hang out with friends and family. . Nothing taste better than your fresh catch cooked outside on the grill.🐠 In the evening kick back and watch all types of birds going to roost, as you’re watching a beautiful gulf sunset.
Hudson, is a quiet town close to everything. Orlando/Disney/Seaworld, Tarpon Springs, Busch gardens/Tampa and many other exciting places are all within an hour or so. Great for the young and old. All water sports available, from Deep sea fishing to paddle boarding, and anything in between. Make some wonderful memories🐠🦅🐬🐡☀️🍺🍷🛶🏌️⛵️
