Incredible Gulf Sunset Views & Direct Gulf Boating Access – A True Boater’s Dream

Live the ultimate Gulf Coast boating lifestyle in this stunning modern 3-bedroom, 2-bath stilt home with breathtaking open Gulf views and unrestricted access to the Gulf of Mexico. From the moment you enter, sweeping water views and soaring volume ceilings create an open, airy feel that makes the home feel as if it floats above the sea.

The expansive living room is designed to showcase the Gulf, with panoramic views that pull you straight toward the water and unforgettable sunsets. The show-stopping kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, light gray shaker cabinetry, wine cooler, and a bar-height island that comfortably seats six—perfect for gathering after a day on the water.

Wake up every morning to Gulf views from the primary suite, which offers a spa-style walk-in shower and granite vanity with dual sinks. The spacious guest bedrooms also enjoy water views, while the guest bath features a granite-topped vanity, generous storage, and a walk-in shower. Wood-look flooring throughout and a dedicated laundry room provide easy-maintenance coastal living with timeless charm. A covered rear second story porch is the perfect place for cocktails was you watch the sun melt into the Gulf.

Outside is where this property truly shines for serious boaters. Situated on 89 feet of concrete seawall along a saltwater canal with direct Gulf access and no fixed bridges, the home is tucked into a protected inlet—shielding your boats and dockage from harsh Gulf winds and waves. Over $200, 000 in dock improvements create a dream setup: a 24, 000-lb boat lift with dockage on both sides accommodating a 30+ foot vessel, a 10, 000-lb lift currently configured for jet skis (easily convertible for a V-hull or pontoon), oversized Duratek fixed dock with power and water at multiple points, plus a separate floating dock. This setup effortlessly accommodates a wide variety of watercraft.

Spend your days watching dolphins and manatees swim behind your home while fishing for redfish, snook, and snapper right from your dock—or head straight out to the open Gulf in minutes.

Welcome to Hudson Beach, a true boater’s paradise just north of Tampa along Florida’s scenic Gulf Coast. This laid-back waterfront community captures the spirit of old-Florida coastal living—often compared to Key West in the 1970s—with its relaxed vibe, working waterfront, and salt-air culture. Boating isn’t just a hobby here; it’s a way of life.

Marinas line the shoreline, waterfront tiki bars and local restaurants overlook nightly sunsets, and the small public beach becomes a natural gathering spot for boaters and neighbors alike. A thriving commercial seafood industry, including shrimping and stone crabbing, keeps Hudson’s maritime heritage alive and woven into everyday life.

Conveniently located along US-19, Hudson Beach offers easy access to shopping, dining, medical facilities, and daily necessities, with Tampa International Airport about an hour away and Orlando attractions within a 90-minute drive.

This is Gulf Coast living at its finest—where days revolve around the tides, sunsets are a nightly event, and the boating lifestyle isn’t just imagined, it’s lived.
