Hudson, on Florida’s Gulf Coast, offers relaxed beachside living with broad sandy shores, excellent boating and fishing, nearby nature preserves and a laid-back downtown—easy to enjoy during multi-week stays when you want low-key evenings and outdoor downtime.
When you crave bigger-city options, Tampa and St. Petersburg are an easy drive away with major hospitals, diverse dining and nightlife, museums, pro sports and regular cultural events — so quiet coastal days and metropolitan weekends are both within reach.
