The property was very clean and comfortable. The location was convenient and the neighborhood was friendly. The outdoor area was awesome. We look forward to our next visit.
Whether we were sitting outside enjoying the view or sitting inside watching something on Netflix, we were relaxing. Loved the openness of the main living area. I could prepare a meal while still be included in the conversation. Communication with our hosts was always handled in a timely fashion. I do miss my bird friends. They gave me the opportunity to capture some nest photos.
Great place to stay! Loved the location on the canals and watching the boats go by. Don Himes, the property mgr, is fantastic to work with. Hope to come back again.
We enjoyed a wonderful month at this house. The views are great and it's so quiet. We hated to leave. The property manager was great and very responsive any time we reached out. Would highly recommend.
Beautiful little house in lovely location. We really enjoyed our few days here. The house is lovely. Location is beautiful. Enjoyed the spa pool. Hope to visit again when it is slightly less hot!
Location was close to everything. Bed was very comfortable. Very clean house. Loved watching the boats and people go by on the canal. Don was great to work with.
The house was great. The view was incredible. Lots of birds came to visit and we even spotted a dolphin playing in the canal. We loved the swim spa! Great location. Would highly recommend!
Lovely house. Very comfortable and well stocked. Really enjoyed the swim spa. I'm recovering from a broken shoulder and shattered patella and bought some foam water weights to do PT in the spa. So much more fun in the water.
To say this home exceeded our expectations, is an understatement! From the view to the accommodations to the welcoming, this will be one of our favorites!! Weâll be looking at real estate in the area and now know the perfect place to stay!! Thank you Don for all your help!!! Thank you such an amazing vacation!
We were in town for a wedding. Great location, convenient to everything. Didn't get to enjoy all of the amenities of the house due to weather and time constraints, but hope to stay here again in the future.
Communication with management was excellent.
Overall a good experience.
This house met all our needs. I was very surprised when we got there. This house exceeded my expectations. It was on a corner lot of the canal. The house was very clean.

We had a great time relaxing and enjoying the prace and quietness of this location. Had a wonderful time scalloping but fishing was poor this trip. Until next year..
Our stay was truly home away from home.
EVERYTHING was great! The location - house - amenities - peacefulness of the area - ease of getting around and finding places to go. It was truly a GREAT experience.
We honestly did not want to leave.

Great house we enjoyed the outside area a bunch. It was close to family so they were able to visit. Beds were really comfortable. The only complaints I would have is the shower head in the main bathroom was not great and there is a shelf very poorly placed that I kept hitting my elbow on. I just ended up using the other shower the rest of the time and it was great. Overall great experience and great place.
We were impressed with the house and location (easy to get to Gulf waters). The guys were excited to catch fish off the dock too. We enjoyed one night at the house (with the beautiful sunset) and made a 14 mile trip into the gulf waters that first morning. After arriving back at the house, I noticed that we were under a mandatory evacuation zone. Disappointed with the weather only. So thankful the house survived the hurricane so we can return to the Mermaid House.
Working with Don was easy. He processed our refund quickly (due to mandatory evacuation).
Mermaid has been our home since 2016. We have a sailing catamaran called DAME which is a play on our names together. She is moored on the property while we are away awaiting our next adventure on her. We love to travel and found ourselves with an opportunity to be in New Zealand for a year. We have cruised the Bahamas.
We bought an RV and are now "land cruising". In the summer of 2024 we did a trip from Florida to Canada and Alaska. What an adventure.
We chose this home due to its location and quick access to the Gulf. We both believe that homes die when empty and want to share our beautiful home with our guests. Hudson is a wonderful Gulf front community offering many amenities with a beach atmosphere, boating, fishing and waterfront restaurants.
We were lucky to befriend Don Himes who is managing our property for VRBO. Don has been managing VRBO's in Hudson since 2014 and is also an officer of the local Hudson Beach Yacht Club. He has a 4.9 out of 5-star rating and understands what people want.
Our hope is that you enjoy our home and the community.
Great kitchen living area. Located on two canals Quiet neighborhood with great neighbors Near all the Gulf Coast has to offer Deck and dock area are great, many hours sepnt just enjoying the view.
