GULF BREEZE has awesome reviews.

We want you to know that we’re doing our part to help all our guests stay safe by cleaning and
disinfecting frequently touched surfaces (light
switches, doorknobs, cabinet handles, remotes, etc.)
before you check in.

Bring your boat!!!! Come watch the sunset melt into the Gulf from your vacation home as dolphin, sea turtles and manatee swim in this direct access saltwater canal. This canal is loaded with redfish, snook and snapper. Our home has everything you need to enjoy your stress free vacation. Everything has been remodeled and tastefully decorated.

We are located on the 1st canal off the Gulf of Mexico in a very nice area. Just a short 5 minute ride to the beach and playground. There you will find a couple of fun and tasty restaurants.

This home is immaculate and has no weird smells or odors. Water views of the gulf from the main parts of the home will let you enjoy our beautiful sunsets. The gas BBQ is ready and waiting for you to enjoy your meals on the huge patio with ceiling fans to keep you cool.

There are a number of separate sitting areas for everyone to enjoy together or separately. The living room has leather sofas and a couple of great bean chairs as well as a cable TV.
The lanai boasts new flooring and is well appointed with a sitting area, dining area as well as a Television.
Bring everyone into the gourmet kitchen to hang out while enjoying a nice quick meal or a few cold drinks and appetizers. Everything you could think of is there.

The home has everything new. AC, bathrooms, hot water heater, ceiling fans and SS appliances. Very clean and neat as a pin. The kitchen was designed for hanging out and enjoying your casual meals while taking in the water views.

Clear water right off the dock for swimming with the dolphin and watching manatees. If that's not your thing, bait up your fishing line and try for the many species of fish for your dinner.

There is an awesome floating dock for you to easily launch the kayaks or keep your boat and to go to the calm Gulf waters.

The 1 car garage can house your water toys, golf Clubs or any other toys you bring along with you.

Plenty to do around the area. Restaurants and bars abound. Locals are extremely nice and helpful.

As far as things to do around the area, you can be to some great Florida attractions within 30 minutes to 2 hours away. Weeki Wachee for the mermaid show or clear spring kayaking. Tarpon Springs and the sponge docks are just 30 minutes south for you to enjoy the “Greek life” and wonderful restaurants. Want a little more excitement? Busch Gardens is just a 1/2 hour away. A great day trip to Disney World, Epocot Center, Seaworld and even Kennedy space center are all doable.

The surrounding area offers, golf, mini golf, fishing, kayaking, boat rentals, scalloping, water skiing, antique shopping, casino cruising and a lot more.

Spectrum cable TV and Internet provided free.

City water with a new “whole house” water softener.

3 bedrooms with Queen size beds and plenty of closet space.
2 bathrooms. One bath has a tub while the other has a step in shower.
1 queen size air bed. No dedicated room. Would be great for children.
1 porta crib. 1 high chair. No need to travel with one for the baby.


Newer Washer and dryer are located in the clean 1 car garage.

2 Extra guests are permitted.
Do you have EXTRA GUESTS? There is a $25 per person per night. An easy fill queen size airbed and bedding is available. Please contact me for more information. I recommend it for children as there is no dedicated space or private room for the bed itself.

We have exterior cameras to monitor only the exterior of our home. Any attempt at disabling, redirecting or obscuring the cameras is prohibited.
One is at the front door and the other is directed towards the dock and kayaks.

Sea Ranch On The Gulf

Beautiful House is perfect for a getaway! House has a beautiful deck in the back yard that is fenced in and has a nice floating dock on a deep water canal directly off the gulf that has clean clear water that you can swim in. We had a great stay and highly recommend.

Not just a rental. "A home away from home". The House was beautifully decorated, and very clean. The owner was very hands on to make sure our stay was perfect. The dock is great for fishing and swimming. Sunsets are amazing. Really nice patio for relaxing and dining. Thanks April for a great vacation!!

AMAZING!

This little slice of heaven is absolutely amazing! It is perfect for families with children! The open floor plan is also great for those with limited mobility or that may use a wheel chair. The floating dock allowed us to sit in the morning and have coffee while watching the fish. There isn’t anything not to like about this home and it’s equiped with everything you need for a very comfortable stay. This will be the only place we stay when visiting family in Hudson! Thank you so much April!!

Beautiful home in perfect location

We had an amazing long weekend with friends in this beautiful home. Walking in for the first time, was a wow moment as the pictures really don't do it justice. The home is open and bright with a fabulous quality, well stocked kitchen area that has everything you will need for your stay. The lovely bedrooms were all a good size and individually decorated with plenty of storage. April was so helpful, answering all our questions quickly and making recommendations for restaurants, boat hire and places to visit. We enjoyed the use of April's kayaks, setting off to explore the coastline and watch the sunset from the ocean.

Great home with easy access to the Gulf of Mexico!

The house was immaculate when we checked in. It has all the amenities we could have hoped for, and then some ... to include (2) kayaks, (2) beach bikes, fishing gear & tackle, a crab trap, a box of toys on the lanai for young children, extra linens & towels, and all of the cooking utensils and spices we needed to enjoy cooking and eating at home! We enjoyed fishing from the dock each day with our children & grandchildren. We caught several pinfish, catfish, and a few keeper-sized mangrove snapper. A friend of mine who lives nearby was able to easily navigate his 25ft boat into the canal from the Gulf and moor up to the floating dock. The neighborhood was very quiet and the few people we saw while taking walks or biking were very friendly. April was in contact with us throughout our stay to ensure we had everything we needed and to answer any questions we may have had. I give April and "Sea Ranch On The Gulf" an A+ rating and my strongest recommendation to anyone wanting to relax and enjoy the west central gulf coast of Florida without all of the commercialism of places like Clearwater Beach or St. Pete Beach. Thank you for sharing this wonderful home with us, April! We hope to visit again next year!

Great Gulf Coast Visit

After a long day of driving, it was nice to enter a clean and inviting home. The home was every bit as nice as advertised. We ended up cooking several meals at the home and found the kitchen well stocked with essential needs (pot, pans, dishes). Our last evening, we grilled steaks from a local butcher and enjoyed dinner on the outside deck with a beautiful view of the sun setting over the gulf. April was very thorough with communication. We'd be happy to stay here again.

Gulf Breeze exceeded all our expectations. The home was immaculate and stocked with everything you might need to enjoy your stay. No detail, large or small, was forgotten. We were especially appreciative of the written directions for operating the televisions in each room. April was super responsive and helpful before and throughout our stay. We have stayed in several VRBO properties and this one outshines them all. We can’t wait for our next stay there!

We loved the thoughtfully equipped home that included appropriate furniture and toys for young children. April is very thorough and communication is top notch!

Lovely home and host

April sets the bar for vacation rentals with her home. The house is so cute, and she has seen to all of the little details that makes a stay relaxing. Her recommendations were perfect from the restaurants to the best grocery store. Having the fenced patio and dog run gives the extra peace of mind you need if you have kiddos or fur babies. If you have kiddos this place is the one you want, it even has toys for them! The neighborhood was so peaceful to stroll through and watch a sunset. The host is as lovely as her home!

We were very satisfied with the rental unit for the 25 days we were there. It was spacious and were impressed with the large kitchen area. It was nice to have an enclosed lanai as well as the open deck for sunning and barbecuing. April made contact by text to make sure everything was as expected. Would consider it again if we decide to come back to Florida next year.

Wonderful Home Away from Home!

Just came back from this wonderful home with many pleasant memories. The home is as described in other reviews - fully equipped with anything and everything you could need. There were plenty of toiletries, kitchen items, kayaks, coolers and bicycles! The sunsets are beautiful and can be viewed on the deck or a walk over to the next street. I would highly recommend a stay at this centrally located home in Hudson, Florida!

About the host

Hosted by April Alparone 561-312-8443

Host profile image
My husband Ralph and I are Florida residents since 1979. We have always loved the water and can not seem to get away from it here in Florida. We currently live on the intracoastal in Palm Beach County. Our plans are to move to this house when we retire, as our daughter and her family live nearby. As time goes on we will be adding landscaping and more goodies to the house. Until then, please enjoy our little paradise on the Gulf.

Why they chose this property

GULF BREEZE is a fun boating community. End your day with spectacular sunsets either at the house or for walk to the end of the street. Book it for scallop season in July! The fishing off the dock will land you a nice meal. Everything you need is nearby. Enjoy a tropical drink, great food and lively music just a few minutes away.

Also available are 2 kayaks, 2 bikes,(after 8/10/2018) some fishing equipment and a crab trap.

2 Extra guests are permitted. There is a $25 per person per night. An easy fill queen size airbed and bedding is available. Please contact me for more information. I recommend it for children as there is no dedicated space or private room for the bed itself.

Nearby boat rentals available

What makes this property unique

The wildlife in the sea and in the air is wonderful. Many days of watching the manatees and dolphin swim and play in your backyard canal. Swim in the clear water right off the dock.(Please be mindful of the manatees as it it illegal to touch them or feed them).
