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.

    I liked the peace and quiet of the location, the option to fish and kayaking, it was fun. Only thing was the AC, there's no ac in the bedroom and it could get hot at night to sleep, there's only a unit on the wall in the dinning area but is not enough to cool the bedroom, we had to use a standing fan by the door to blow some of the cool air from the dining area to the bedroom, other than that everything was awesome, Chuck and Nancy were very kind and hospitable.

    This cozy cottage has a vibrant nostalgia. The serene setting is amazing. We felt at home and relaxed.Watching the wild life and venturing out on a conoe (we ain't experts on canoes) but had so much fun on the creek. The kitchen is fully stocked for all your needs. This is truly a spiritual place for everyone.

    We enjoyed our two night stay in this cottage very much. It was clean and comfortable, and the location was so peaceful. We explored Cow Creek by canoe and were able to interact with manatees, which was especially rewarding. We will definitely stay here again if ever in the area.

    The hosts were so friendly and helpful. The cottage was spotless and had everything you could imagine to need or want including coffee. This was a much needed relaxing time away from home. Sitting on the dock or lanai was both restful and a fun experience watching the wildlife. Just a short canoe ride down the creek were many manatees to enjoy.

    From the start Chuck and Jarry were helpful and friendly. Chuck even called to make sure my husband had a way to watch the Superbowl! This little cottage was adorned with manatees! I love the critters and our first night we watched a few swim by. Then the dolphin sw by to say Hi. Great layout. Comfy bed. Nice floating dock to catch some sun and fish. The lanai was great in late afternoon as a shady respite from the sun. We watched all the local birds, ducks, you name it. The mullet jumped all over and we had a good laugh as they reminded us of the asian carp we have in Illinois. Fully equipped kitchen was awesome. This place was so good we are coming back in the future. Within an hour drive to Weeki Wachee..check out the Upper Deck Cafe near there..watch the manatees swim down the river. Tarpon springs is a quick drive and worth visiting.We didn't get a chance to kayak..maybe next time..thanks Chuck and Jarry for a great time!

    My son and I were so happy to find a place that met all of our needs. We enjoyed our kayak rides on the canal and found the Cow Creek Cottage to be cozy and inviting. It’s location close to Rt 19 made exploring the area very easy. It was perfect for our short visit and we wished we could have stayed longer as the area has much to offer.

    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.

    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.
