Awesome stay!

My family and i rented this home for a week vacation, they home was very accommodating and everyone felt right at home during the stay. If you love wild life a morning cup of coffee with the various birds and the occasional dolphin or manetee(s) in the canal then we highly recommend staying in this gorgeous home. We will definitely be back for another stay!

About the host

Hosted by Rick Silva

Host profile image
Wife and I moved from the cold New England weather in 1988 and headed to Tampa Florida where we now call Home.

Why they chose this property

We where looking for a property on the water and came across this property which we fell in love with.
It sits on a quiet Corner canal with spectacular water views and wildlife.

What makes this property unique

Wife and I love to sit in the front yard watch the sun rise, look out to Cow Creek bay and appreciate all the Wildlife,
specially when the Dolphins come in to the bay to feed.
On sunny days we like to kayak on the calm waters of Hudson and enjoy the Nature around us.
We also enjoy fishing right out from the sea Wall.
The kids love the place which makes this home so special to us.
