Gulf Access Waterfront Home With Private Dock – Walk to Beach

Here’s a polished version you can paste into Expedia: “Overall, this was a nice place to stay. The house was very clean and exactly as described in the listing. Everything felt well maintained and comfortable. One thing to note is that it’s located near a busy intersection, so traffic noise was noticeable at times. Aside from that, we had a good experience and enjoyed our stay.”

Apartment was clean and well provisioned. Host was extremely helpful and courteous. We will stay here again.

Property has a dock. Two chairs and an airline container. Beautiful inside roomy and clean. Great place to spend the night and leave.

The house was great, very clean and organized. I was staying with my mom and sister and there was plenary of room for all three of us. The location was cute, next to an ice cream and pizza place, lots of seafood within walking distance. I’d happily stay here again the next time I’m in town.

Super clean apartment, the kitchen was fully equipped even had condiments. The owner, who was very responsive and friendly, even had an extra air mattress, golf clubs and beach chair in the apartment. We had a great stay.

The property was nice and clean. The living area was large and the bedrooms were decent. The location was a little busy and there was a four way stop with flashing red lights one building away. There is also a fantastic ice cream store next door. The unit is on the second floor. The stairs were not in the greatest shape. They had several nail pops and some unevenness. We had two people with physical disabilities and that created a bit of a hardship for them. I personally would have liked newer, nicer bed linens. The pillows are older than they should be. The process was smooth and James was very helpful and professional.

A second floor 2BR/1Bath large unit just off US19 in Hudson Beach, one block in and quiet. Unit has everything you require, comfortable bedding, large couches, large very Living Room, adequate kitchen with modern W/D, Smart TV and sound bar. Immediately next door is Hudson Beach Ice Cream Store which is a gem, been there for years. Hudson beach walkable nearby, mind you not a lot of sand but I was there on business. Virtually every fast food/grocery/Walmart within a few minutes drive. James replies rapidly to your messages. This village north of Port Richey is a mix of old Florida and new. Great value.

Kitchen surfaces were dirty and had to be cleaned. Ice maker has peas and carrots in ice cube tray. When you put ice in a cup you get peas and carrots with the ice. The entry door deadbolt does not work. Mold around the bathtub. Hard to operate tub faucet. Towel rack over toilet rusted at toilet level. Air return grill has rust and mold on it. Air filter full of dust. Entry door frame rotted and loose making it hard to open and shut door. Dock chairs rotted and not usable. Gas grill doesn’t look usable. Mold and mildew on exterior of house. Stairs need repairs. Ceiling fan in MBR did not work, there was an oscillating fan on the dresser which makes it seem like the owner knows the fan doesn’t work. Bed positioned against the closet door requiring you to move the bed to get into the closet.I have photos to backup these statements. Not looking for a refund, just trying to alert anyone else of these conditions.

The location was good for what we needed and the cute canal in back was nice. James was responsive to any questions or comments we had. The kitchen, bathroom and laundry room were well stocked. There is ample closet and drawer storage. The ice cream shop is steps away so that is good and bad! Great area for walking up and down the dead end streets. The beach is close but small. We ate at Sam's Bar on the water which was fun. It is an upstairs apartment in Florida so it can get warm but furniture is comfortable and televisions are accessible with a notebook with lots of ideas for the area. It was a good week.

This is my second stay. Very comfortable space with everything we need. I love the dock on the canal for coffee or cocktails. Host James is readily available via text. Great location when you are here to see performers at Suncoast Broadway Dinner Theatre.

Host communicated quickly; near the beach and an ice cream place next door. Second floor apartment but stairs were sturdy. Good parking space.

I will preface this review by saying I did not stay there. I asked for a refund and did not receive one. I was not entitled to it and I understand that. The home is old. It smells old and musty when you enter. Other reviews state the home is clean. I will say it is tidy, not clean. The furniture is old, the sheets and comforters are old and worn, the towels are old and worn ( I showered there before Thanksgiving.) The home needs paint and a facelift. With that said it is priced low. In the future I would book a hotel as opposed to paying a nightly feecleaningbooking. If you don’t mind the things I mentioned, it would be fine.

The property was amazing. Had a small issue checking in but other than i still give the property 9/10..Definitely plan to book again...

Great very nice and clean

We had a nice stay. The beds and couches were comfortable and there is plenty of space inside. It was stocked with nearly all the items we needed for a great trip. The kitchen oven happened to be inoperable during our stay and the owner was notified. He was nice and quick to respond to any of our messages. The dock is fixed and not floating. We had 5' tide changes and had to plan for them. So some may want to consider this when deciding the best times to boat or paddle. Overall a very nice stay!

Great!

This was one of the most well-stocked places I’ve stayed at—everything we needed was right there, which made our stay super convenient. It’s not the Ritz, but for the price, it was more than good enough. The space was also surprisingly roomy, which was a nice bonus. Great value overall and would definitely stay again for our quick scallop trip.

The house is nice, comfy, and dock is nice. The area is awesome. The only thing is the parking. It is true story there is an office on the bottom so you are really limited on parking. If you bring your boat and have a boat and trailer that you have to park there and another vehicle very hard only wanna give you a single space that you have to park in which is once she back your trailer up in there if the boat would’ve been bigger than our 22 foot hurricane I don’t believe it would work very tight and there’s just no way you can put another vehicle in before it because they have a pod sitting there that’s not shown in the pictures other than that great stay.

It fit our needs and the location was perfect for us. Everything was very clean and the beds were comfortable, which is pretty important to me. I would come back if we are in the area again.

Nice place, but needs a little love. Some of the items advertised as amenities did not work. I went to use the oven it did not work. I texted about the front door dead bolt that did not work. No one came by to fix,

Great location and close to the beach. Just what we wanted for a couple of days. House was clean.

my family and I had a great time staying at your property. The area was lovely. The house was lovely. The scenery was lovely. It was quiet and nice. The inside of the house was something amazing. All of the accommodations were easily accessible thank you for having such an amazing property on vrbo

The location is the biggest plus—steps from the beach and right on a canal with beautiful water views. The host thoughtfully provides linens, kitchenware, and extras like fishing poles, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the property itself is in very poor condition. It feels more like someone’s cluttered home than a vacation rental. The furniture is outdated, the house has a strong musty odor, and many items are rusted, broken, or stained—including cookware, utensils, and linens.Safety is a concern. The wooden stairs are loose and damaged, the front gate doesn't close properly, and there’s no real balcony—just steps leading to an AC unit. It’s definitely not child-safe. There’s also a large shipping container in the driveway and an abandoned-looking office downstairs, both of which were unsettling and not disclosed in the listing.Cleanliness was a major issue. We found mold in the ceiling, dog hair and food wrappers under couch cushions, dust on picture frames, dirty baseboards, and a wet sponge in the sink when we arrived. Used toiletries, open condiments, and cluttered cabinets throughout made the stay feel unsanitary and uncomfortable. The place looks like no money has been reinvested into it, with mismatched consignment furniture and worn-out essentials. It has potential, but it needs serious updates, deep cleaning, and attention to safety before being listed as a beach rental.

Very nice place to stay. Very clean and well equipped. Has beach right down the street. Plenty of places to go and shop if need be. I recommend for sure and will indeed come again in the future.

James was a great host and very accommodating! Even got a chance to catch catfish and crabs on from the deck!

The property itself was wonderful. Easy access to the canal. Next door to an ice cream parlor and convenience store. Immaculately clean. The list goes on and on of the positive experiences at this property. Its a 2 minute drive and a 15ish minute walk to the beach. Honestly couldn't have asked for a better place to spend some time away. Would absolutely book over and over again.

It was great! The location is perfect, it was a very nice unit and we enjoyed the dock in the back yard as well!

Great getaway

Property was decent, not the greatest curb appeal, but interior was clean and comfortable. Everything needed was in the house. Beds were super comfortable. Overall we enjoyed our stay. The living room couches were very comfy and nice looking. Loved that there was a throw blanket in the living room for the cooler evenings!!

It was a nice stay.

It was a pleasant stay for my husband, myself, and our three kids. We had everything we needed and the propriety was close to our favorite places to visit. We plan on using again in the future.
