Live the Ultimate Gulf Coast Boating Lifestyle in Hudson Beach Welcome to your direct Gulf-access waterfront retreat in the heart of Hudson Beach-where boating, fishing, and coastal living take center stage. This fully updated 2-bedroom, 2-bath home with a bonus room offers 59 feet of saltwater canal frontage and unrestricted Gulf of Mexico access with no fixed bridges, making it ideal for serious boaters and anglers alike. Designed for easy coastal living, the home features an open floor plan with luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, new stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, an oversized pantry, and additional storage behind the kitchen. Custom closets in the bedrooms, a built-in cabinet in the storage room, water softener, reverse osmosis system, and updated electrical-including subpanels for the dock, lift, and gazebo-add both comfort and peace of mind. The home was completely updated after Helene, with all permits finalized. New AC in 2026. Step outside to your private waterfront setup, complete with 59 feet of concrete seawall, a fixed dock, floating dock, and a 10,000-pound boat lift on a deep saltwater canal leading straight to the Gulf. Dock amenities include overhead lighting with motion detectors, two hose bibs, and an outdoor shower-perfect after a day on the water. Relax in the fenced backyard or under the outdoor gazebo, ideal for a future hot tub or a shaded spot to unwind. An outdoor shed provides additional storage for gear and tools. From your backyard, watch dolphins and manatees glide by while you fish for redfish, snook, and snapper-this is true Gulf Coast living. Hudson Beach is a genuine boater's paradise just north of Tampa, known for its laid-back, old-Florida charm reminiscent of Key West in the 1970s. Life here revolves around the water, with marinas, waterfront tiki bars, locally loved restaurants, and unforgettable Gulf sunsets. A blend of working shrimpers, longtime locals, retirees, and coastal adventurers gives the area its unpretentious, maritime character. The community enjoys direct Gulf access, a small public beach where neighbors gather, and a thriving commercial seafood industry that keeps the working-waterfront tradition alive. US-19 provides easy access to shopping, dining, medical facilities, and everyday conveniences, while Tampa International Airport is approximately 45 minutes away, with St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Orlando attractions all within easy reach. This is Hudson Beach living-where days are measured by tides, evenings by sunsets, and the boating lifestyle isn't a hobby, it's a way of life.
