About this property

Waterfront Cozy Cottage On Cow Creek With Dock, Canoe, Kayaks, Fishing

This Florida cottage is a converted shrimp house. The decor is tropical with tile floors and ceiling fans. This 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom (shower, no tub) air conditioned cottage is well -furnished and sleeps only 2.
The quaint cottage is on Cow Creek overlooking a small bay. Manatees, dolphins and many water fowl frequent the area. Enjoy your coffee from the waterfront seating area. Fishing is available from the attached floating dock. Mullet, jacks, snapper sheephead are in the creek. The creek is tidal and his spring feed, and that attracts the manatees. The manatees go by the cottage daily and it is a short paddle up to the springs where they hang out. If you bring your flats boat, Red fish, snook and trout fishing areas are both north and south. Grouper, grunts, hogfish and cobia are west. Coopers Bait Shop is next door. The Gulf Waters of Hudson are shallow and typically offer protection from high surf conditions, making it ideal for kayaking and canoeing.. There are many artificial and natural reefs for fishing and diving off Hudson . The creek is tidal and it is to shallow at low tide to get a boat out. The boat ramp is less than a mile away and is not constrained by the tide.
Users of kayaks or canoes are responsible for the safety of all those in his or her craft. Operation of the kayak or canoe is solely at the operator's own risk. Paddles and life jackets are provided.

Perfect Getaway

This place was great! It was very private & peaceful. We enjoyed sitting on the porch overlooking the canal. We even saw a couple of Manatees that were heading back from the springs. Kayaking around the canal and out to the gulf was great as well! Our only regret was not staying longer!!

Nice getaway

Nice cottage on the water. Has all the essentials plus more. Relax, fish, and watch the wildlife or explore more with the kayaks on site. Beautiful night sky. Hosts are nearby if needed, yet it feels private.

Beautiful nature on the canal

Good location for seeing several areas in Florida. You’re an hour to hour and a half away from tons of stuff to do; or you can sit and relax at the cottage on the canal and fish or take a canoe/kayak ride. A little bar with live music was walking distance away.

The Perfect Getaway at the Cottage on Cow Creek

We just returned from one of our most relaxing vacations ever after spending two weeks at the Cottage on Cow Creek. The cottage itself was cozy and had all the comforts of home. Add to that the fantastic views from the back porch and dock, not to mention our perfectly lovely, thoughtful, and responsive hosts, Chuck and Jarry, and we have not a single complaint (except that the trip ended all too soon). We are already trying to find a time when we might be able to return. Highly recommended if you are looking for a peaceful getaway and a place to unwind and recharge, the ability to cook your own meals if you so desire, and kayaks/canoes on site for your use if you're the adventurous type and want to get out on the water and look for manatees or other wildlife. A quick trip from Tampa International Airport with plenty of places nearby for shopping, dining and other adventures. A winner for sure!! Five stars in our book.

3rd stay

We fell in love with this little corky cottage on our 1st stay. Small home and air unitl worked fine in the Florida heat-bearable. The bed is not the most comfortable but we learn to bring our pillows, but this last time there was a loud window unit added in the bedroom and the wall unit in the livingroom was not working . It was a rough stay... we could not sleep in the room becuase of how the loud window unit was and the heat was unbearable in the living room. I was very sad with our mini weekend vacation. I hope they get the air conditioning situation corrected. working

Relaxing home away from home

This is the second time staying here. It is so comfortable and charming. The creek is peaceful and spending any moment on the dock was the highlight for me. Plenty of extras including kayaks, towels, fishing gear, and of course coffee! In town but doesn't give the busy town feel. Perfect location for beaches, hiking or any other outdoor activity in FL you have planned. My sister and I will be back again! Excellent hosts.

great place to relax

The property is enough for 2 people. It is well kept. Right on the water. Owners property is next door, but it still feels somewhat secluded compared to other rentals we have seen available. Short distance to grocery stores and other businesses.

Let nature do the work

Looks a little run down , look through that and enjoy how close you are to the creek and waterways. Everything is fine that is supplied, a little dated but fits in with the cottage, bar 200yds away not for everyone but very convenient. Got a few bites from insects but that was expected overall nice place !!
