13538 LESLIE DRIVE, Hudson, FL, 34667 | $399,900

Experience the ultimate Gulf Coast boating lifestyle with this Direct Gulf Access 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom concrete block home, perfectly designed for serious boaters and anglers alike. Situated on 59 feet of saltwater canal frontage, this property features a 10, 000 lb boat lift and floating dock, offering quick, bridge-free access to the Gulf of Mexico—just hop in your boat and go.

Step into your backyard and into a true waterfront playground—watch dolphins and manatees glide by, or cast a line right from your seawall and reel in redfish, snook, and snapper. This is the kind of lifestyle most only dream about.

Inside, the home has been completely renovated in 2024 with all permits in place, delivering a clean, modern coastal feel. Upgrades include:

Brand new kitchen with Quartz countertops, new cabinets, and artistic backsplash
New appliances
Fully updated bathrooms
Tile flooring throughout for easy maintenance
Fresh interior paint
Some new impact windows
New AC system (2024)
Roof replaced in 2018

This property is not only turnkey—it’s also flexible. With no HOA and no rental restrictions (beyond county guidelines), it’s ideal as a full-time residence, vacation home, or income-producing rental.

Welcome to Hudson Beach – Old Florida Charm Meets Boater’s Paradise

Nestled along Florida’s Nature Coast just north of Tampa, Hudson Beach delivers a laid-back, authentic coastal vibe reminiscent of the Florida Keys decades ago. Here, boating isn’t a hobby—it’s a way of life. Cruise out to waterfront tiki bars, dock-and-dine restaurants, or spend the day anchored at nearby islands and sandbars.

Just a short boat ride south brings you to the famous:
Anclote Key Sandbar – a stunning tidal sandbar perfect for relaxing, shelling, and socializing
Anclote Key State Park – an untouched barrier island with crystal-clear waters

Head north and explore:
Hernando Beach Flats – a shallow, family-friendly gathering spot ideal for anchoring and wading
Homosassa via the scenic Homosassa River—lined with waterfront restaurants and fed by freshwater springs

Back on land, US-19 provides easy access to shopping, dining, medical facilities, and everyday conveniences. You’re also within about an hour of Tampa International Airport and roughly 90 minutes to Orlando’s world-famous attractions.

This is more than just a home—it’s your gateway to the Gulf Coast boating lifestyle, where your days revolve around tides, fishing, island hopping, and unforgettable sunsets.

Bring your boat, your fishing rods, and your flip-flops—paradise is waiting.
