About the area: If you are new to these parts, Hudson Beach just may be the best little secret on Florida's West Coast. The trends show unprecedented increases in home values due to an active real estate market, which might make this a good time to invest or make a move.

Many notable restaurants and hot spots are within a mile or so, too. Vacation for a Lifetime here! Buyer to verify owner's measured square footage (SF). Some space included in heated SF is considered "bonus" space, not reflected in tax records.
