Month stay

Our stay at John and Sharon's place from the start of the booking to then last day was great! Great communication, helped with any needs, went out of their way to help or answer any questions. The backyard is really a retreat. It was so private and the fish cleaning table with the water hose was a giant plus for my husband. The canal was quite not a lot of traffic. I'd say it was a15 from a scale of 1-10. John told us where we could dock the boat. The master king bed was comfortable. We didn't need the 2nd bedroom. Comfortable furniture. Kitchen has enough room to cook in. Appliances were great. The carport worked great to store our boat in when we weren't using it and enough room to park the truck. Overall, our stay was fantastic and we were going to book the month ago when we got home on Sunday. Went to book on Monday and it was already taken. We will definitely be back. Thank you again John and Sharon!

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!!

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!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Sharon and John Smith

Host profile image
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🐠🦅🐬🐡☀️🍺🍷🛶🏌️⛵️
