Winderful stay!
We enjoyed our stay at the Mermaid Shack on a trip for a family wedding andxrelaxation. We truly appreciated the fact that our furbabies were welcome and there was plenty if room for them to safely roam as the property is fenced. Plenty of indoor room for 6 people. Awesome that the house was fully stocked and neat as a pin. The property is a short drive to many of the outdoor activities in which one participates in FL but not an undoable drive. If you are kayaking, checkout Weekie Wachee boat/kayak ramp and Hernando Beach public boat ramp. Also, Ozella Trail road ( north) great area for fishing and kayaking. If you are looking for a beach in the area, check out the beach/park in New Port Richey (46 min drive). We lLOVED our stay and hope to eeturn next spring!

Great location!
This place was the definition of peaceful! We all found something that we loved about our two month stay. From the wildlife to the privacy. This location checks all those boxes. Our dogs loved the gated yard and they also go to explore all the wildlife. Communication with the owner was seamless all the way through! We would definitely stay again!

Something for everyone
Nice clean place to stay, not in the center of everything but close to everything. Relaxing front porch and shaded parking for two vehicles. The fenced yard is great if you have a dog or two. Owners are very nice and available to answer questions and solve problems. Would gladly stay there again.

Mermaid Shack Staycation
Our recent 5 week stay at the Mermaid Shack was very pleasant. The hosts were very accomodating and quick to answer questions. The property is definitely rural but close to grocery stores, pharmacies, beaches and other attractions. The home was very clean and everything was supplied as listed in the vrbo description. It was nice sitting on the front porch watching all the birds, squirrels and even a tortoise. The only thing I would point out is you are not within walking distance of any attraction or stores as this is a more remote location. Definitely a great place for a family and pets to run around.

Lovely shack. Owners went above and beyond thinking of everything needed. We had a great time. Only one minor issue was a hole in the fence and the few low spots where a dog could easily jump over. Would stay again.

Thanksgiving trip
We had a wonderful stay at this property! It is so cute and comfortable, it felt like we were in our own home. Decor is fabulous! Quiet area with lots of space to roam. Close to many activities, restaurants, and shopping. The hosts are very caring and responsive and you can tell they want their guests to enjoy their stay. Everything you could possibly need is at the property making this the perfect place to relax. Speaking of relaxing, we spent many hours on the front deck in the rocking chairs just watching the world go by. I give this property five out of five stars! You won’t be disappointed staying there!
