Hudson holiday house

Just had the most relaxing holiday ever hence the horizontal title. This place is amazing from the moment you first set eyes on the house which is beautifully presented, then you go indoors to a most wonderful house clean and tidy and superb furnishings what more could you want .
Outside is the pool just the right size and well used on hot days and well equiped with sunbeds and plenty of floaty things in the garage left by the owner for kids to use,nice touch. Also the gardens are well kept with plenty of birds and butterflies to keep you interested, i liked the hawks and red cardinals with herons and egrets aplenty.
Hudson has everthing you possibly need supermarkets, chemists, petrol stations and a small beach with Sams Bar .It is also handy for all the trips you want to do Disneyland if you like that sort of thing to the magnificent Everglades my favourite .I could go on and on but my advice to you is get out there and do your own thing you wont be disappointed
WISH I WAS THERE!!!!

This was my first trip to the USA. The villa was superb. We didn't use the formal lounge and dining room as the family area with adjacent kitchen and dining area was large, well appointed and comfortable. The bedrooms were well laid out with walk-in wardrobes and 3 bathrooms/showerooms between 4 bedrooms was an excellent ratio. The fully equipped laundry room was a great asset as it enabled us to keep up with the washing and not have lots to take home. The pool area, pool and lanai were very well used during our stay and a marvelous feature. Everything was very clean and well maintained. The villa is well located for a wide variety of shoppping and eating houses. The driving everywhere and between shops was a different concept but I soon got used to it. Local department stores included Dillards, J C Penney, and Macy's with larger and many more Malls in Tampa [40 minutes away]. I will definately come again to this area and to this villa.

This was the second time I have enjoyed a fabulous holiday in this particular villa and can hardly wait to return-I think that speaks for itself. The villa has every resource available and the owner clearly wants it to be a 'home from home' experience. The property is beautiful, tastefully furnished and stylish, clean and well maintained. We particularly appreciated the luxury of the pool, the terrace is a super place to sunbathe and relax or sit in the shade and enjoy the fresh, local food or a glass of wine. The ambiance in the villa is cool and calming, we were exhausted by doing nothing! Hudson, being a 2 hr drive from Orlando, is away from the Disney attractions but is still well placed for theme parks in Tampa, the International Plaza for great shopping, nature reserves and some wonderful beaches including Clearwater. We have seen dolphins in the bay at Tarpon Springs before but this year they swam in the wake of our boat, leaping out of the water so close to us. They even accompanied the boat back up the bayou to the dock. It was a breath taking experience. We would recommend an overnight stay in Orlando for a theme park spree. We have found The Hilton Garden Hotel opposite Sea World to be comfortable, conveniently situated and extremely reasonable compared to UK prices. Sam's Bar at Hudson beach is a great place to watch the sun go down whilst having a good supper and a drink. They have live music some nights. Restaurants we revisited were The Red Lobster for delicious lobster and shrimp, Cody's Ranch house for steak(and yes it really is acceptable to sweep all your peanut shells onto the floor!) Try the stack of onion rings and plan to share. The Olive Garden is good for Italian cuisine. Ihop is open around the clock but is great for breakfast pancakes. A trip to Walmart is a must-you can buy anything from a box of matches to a gun!!
Whatever you want to do, its all here and this villa is a wonderful base to do it all from. However if all you want is relaxation, well this place is a little slice of paradise.....and its not called the Sunshine State for nothing! Susan, from the UK
