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 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.
