Great place to stay! Super cute, tons of amenities, pool and hot tub clean and easy to use. Just a lovely spot all over. Managers were super accessible and answered all our questions by text very quickly. Book with instructions for house very helpful. Quiet area, very easy access to all local attractions.

Great place near Old Homosassa

We loved this place, and the hot tub was a bonus! The house had plenty of living room, and the beds were very comfortable. The fenced-in yard is large. We loved being able to do our laundry without leaving the property. Old Homosassa is only a few miles away, with the Old Florida feeling and great restaurants. Several parks nearby to take the dog to and to walk around. Greg was a perfect host: friendly and helpful, but not intrusive at all. Our dog Myrtle loved him! And Carissa is a talented artist: thanks for the art lesson, Carissa! We highly recommend this property.

Lovely getaway at Mermaid Manor

This property is really a gem! It is stocked with almost anything you can think of, including the cutest host gifts I've ever seen! We did a little scavenger hunt to find out exactly how many mermaids were on, around and inside the property, it was a blast! The pool is amazing and even on a really warm September weekend, it was cool enough to be refreshing. The pool area is loaded with artwork and really fun pool toys that are great for all ages. Beds and furniture are super comfy and the reading nook off the living room was a favorite spot for both myself and my mom! Would highly recommend this place!

Beautiful Home

As soon as I pulled onto the property I knew I would love the place. The interior is as cute as it can be and anything you might need is there. The decor is adorable. My only regret is that Hurricane Debby forced us to leave earlier and I lost a set of keys. Of course, neither has anything to do with the house. I’ll definitely come back, probably before the next hurricane season!

Mermaid Manor

Absolutely loved the house!!!!!!!!! and the area was very quiet. The pool was heated by the hot tub but it never got above 75 degrees cuz the hot tub only got hot when turned on after 3pm. Would love to rent again if the pool can be warmer. Also the streaming wifi for the t.v. sucked. but we only used it at night.

Hot tub?

Upon entering this house, it is apparent that the owner put a lot of effort into decor. The beds and seating are comfortable. I appreciate that I was given permission by the manager to not kennel my sweet Yorkie. If I was traveling with a group of people, I would want to know in advance that the 2 primary bedrooms are separated by curtains, not doors, and that the bathroom is in the hallway where the second bedroom must go through the first to get there. My biggest disappointment was that the hot tub instructions say that the tub requires 2 hours to heat up. I definitely would not have selected this property if this were revealed in the house advertisement.

Quiet, spacious and fun place!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place was so cute and very quiet. It doesn’t look like it would be that big but it’s very spacious. The pool area was our favorite!! The pool was big and the hot tub was so nice. The only problem was you couldn’t use the hot tub until 3pm and the pool was a bit chilly. But we did spend most of our afternoons by the pool. Behind the pool is a covered area to grill with a table to sit and eat at. The kitchen had plenty of pots, pans, dishes and utensils for our needs. Be prepared to wash your own dishes as there is not a dishwasher. They also provide towels for the pool as well which is so nice. The owner lives right in front of the house but was not bothersome or interfering at all. Overall, this is a great place to relax and unwind. I would stay here again.
