About this property

Waterfront Tropical Paradise With A Spectacular Gulf View.

If you are looking for a waterfront vacation with a Key West feel, then this is your destination. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! This home is located toward the end of the exclusive peninsula of Driftwood Isles and is at the end of the road. Once you arrive you will notice that the house is spread over two lots with vacant lots on both sides. Beautiful canals border two sides of the property. If privacy is what you want then this is it.

Step into the front door to a beautifully remodeled home done in colors with a Key West theme. Both bedrooms feature walk in closets. The living room boasts a queen sleeper leather sofa in front of a 50" large screen tv. The dining area overlooks the Florida room and oh, what a room it is. 12'X30' long and completely shielded from the elements (if you want) or open one of 11 large screened windows to let the Gulf breeze through.

Walk out through the Florida room into the back yard and be prepared to have your breath taken away. The view is spectacular with water all around. Sit on the patio and have coffee or under the corner umbrella to enjoy a cold beverage. Dolphins and manatees are almost a daily sight as they move through the canal or into the Gulf. Like to fish? Snook, snapper, redfish, sheepshead and large jacks all swim in front of the seawall.

Got a fishing boat? Tie it to the floating dock or keep it at the local marina for 24 hour Gulf access. Access to the open Gulf is tide restrictive from the house. Contact the owner for more info. His and hers bikes are provided so you can take a ride around and see the sights. A one car garage and two covered carports keep your vehicles out of the weather. Like palm trees? There are no less than 37 palm trees on the property and one of the largest ear trees that you will ever see. The shade covers all of the Florida room and part of the house.

Sitting out on the patio by the water at night is an experience that you won't forget. The neighborhood is VERY quiet at night .

Wonderful location, excellent hosts
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely, well supplied home in Hudson directly on the water. Ron and Lynda responded rapidly anytime we communicated with them.

Not accurate description of house
Positive - The check in was easy. Negative - The condition of home was in disrepair. The porch area had a mold musty smell, the screens were ripped, and you could not see out the windows due to their poor condition. There were vines growing into the back porch door. Fixtures like light switches were so old they were discolored could not be cleaned. We left a day early as we did not feel comfortable being there. Very miss leading.

perfect weekend!
if we could, we could be there every weekend! even though the weather was crappy, we enjoyed every second. We were sad to leave. Dolphins in front of the house, withing the arms reach! Osprey hanging out and watching us all day and night right above the house. And "Bruce"..... he was hanging out with us all day, everyday! Thank you for letting us stay at your house!

A Month on the Gulf
Great property and hosts. Away from the crowds when you want and close enough to everything when you want to get out. Ron & Lynda are very attentive. Washer/Dryer broke and the replaced them the next day. Frequent check-ins to make sure everything was going well. Great vacation!

About the host

Hosted by Ron Mattson

Host profile image
We are Ron and Lynda from Winter Haven, Florida. Lynda is a mortgage loan officer and Ron is a blueberry farmer. We are both lifelong Floridians and absolutely love the Gulf. We bought this house and worked like crazy over the last 2 years to make it our own. That's why it doesn't look like a rental because we remodeled it the way that WE wanted. We never had any intentions of renting it but had an opportunity to purchase another home in the same neighborhood so we jumped on it.

Why they chose this property

Two words: The View.
Two more words: The Location. Driftwood Isles is kinda like it's own little world. Not part of town but close enough to bike ride there. Stuck out into the Gulf of Mexico, it has to be seen to be believed. Friendly mallard ducks, squirrels, all the wildlife that you could possibly want to see. Eagles, ospreys, diving birds, pelicans, parrots all call this area home. Just north of here is a wildlife preserve.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the property the day we saw it and put an offer in on it that day. While it didn't look like it does today, the potential was always there. We had been looking in Hudson for over 2 years before finding this home and knew it was the one when we saw it. The feeling of being on the water and this close to the Gulf is unbelievable.
