Relaxing and enjoyable
We stayed in this property for my 40th Birthday with my family and my son who brought one of his friends (17) we all had a very relaxing time. We also brought our two dogs. The home was clean and plenty of room for 6 of us and dogs. Beds were super confortable and the AC works amazingly on the hot afternoons. The kayaks were wonderful ammenity to have but i highly recommend renting a boat to tour the river. The pool was a the cherry on top at the end of the long days on the river. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need toncook. Would stay there again for sure.

Very happy
Kevin was such a great host. Quick to respond to questions, provided good directions of the canals on a map at the house, local restaurants and things to do in the area. There is more at this house than other rentals ive stayed at. The pool was great for my two kids who got in daily. There were multiple kayaks with life jackets there at the house so i didnt have to travel with mine. This is one of the bigger lots on this street. The water in the canals is darker than the clear waters of the main river but its not far to get to in the kayaks. I would definitely stay here again.

Love this area, been coming here for years. The house is comfortable, the pool is amazing and the kayaks will get you to the crystal clear waters of the Weeki Wachee in 5 minutes. Love watching the manatees and swimming in the river. Great restaurants nearby. Try Cody's steak house. Food amazing and the owners are great!!! As always, we will be back

I'm mad the previous reviewers lied. I'm disgusted.
Just don't bother with this overpriced ancient trailer rental. While the owner is pleasant and responded quickly that's not good enough, why were things not ready for guests who had booked over 6 weeks prior? This house was not & will never be ready for guests especially at this price. The trailer has buildings added to it over the years & not well, the interior, furniture & appliances have not been updated for at least 15-20 yrs & are literally falling apart other than the floors in the small main area. It's filthy. Years of dust, dirt & debris under beds, the kitchen not clean, lack of usable cooking items, furniture old and mostly broken down, forget the beds. Pet hair everywhere!We booked for the pool & kayaks/dock, been renting 12 years in this area but have never wanted to leave a place as soon as we arrived. Kayaks mainly unusable & need fixed. Pool was 18" below the skimmer, filthy & full of insects and dirt. The pool pumps been broken a while (pool guy confirmed next day) Holes in pool screen & doors that don't close allow for mosquitos. 2 of 3 exterior doors had interior use locks that were broken, 3 women/strange house meant we couldn't go to bed without locking up. Called owner & had to argue that I knew how to use a lock & these were broken, had to argue for a locksmith, he came after midnight, fixed each confirming the original locks were bad. We paid almost $800 for 2 nights & a ruined birthday weekend. The previous reviews, are they fake? Just don't book.

Family vacation
Kevin was a great host and answered questions quickly. This was like going to your grandma's house for vacation. It was small but clean. There were extra beach towels and a few pool noodles to use. The outdoor space was great and is where we spent most of our time. The only thing I found unpleasant is that the 3rd bathroom is actually outside by the pool and not air conditioned. It's great for It's intended purpose of a pool bathroom. It's not so great if you're depending on it for a 3rd bathroom for a guest. We were a family so it wasn't a problem to share the 2nd indoor bathroom, just a minor inconvenience.

all you need and more
the reasons we give 5 stars are the efficiency and kindness of the owner and the offer in general: pool, air conditioning, hot water, kitchen equipment, TV, wifi, kayaks (some would need repair), all is there and works fine. The area is a bit crowded but you can access a nice beach in less than 10 minutes drive and many quiet state parks. The Clearwater area is not too far and we enjoyed it very much: beaches, activities, parks, etc. Overall, very nice vacations in central Florida!

Another great year!
This is our second year staying at Mermaid Manor and 5th year in Weeki Wachee for 4th of July. By far our favorite house to rent. Our daughter loves the pool & the dock was perfect for our boat. We saw dolphins in the canal this year and of course lots of manatees. The owner went above and beyond with any questions we had & made sure our family was accommodated. Looking forward to next year!

Enjoyed our stay
My family stayed for several days while visiting family in the area. The owner was always easy to get in touch with and we had no issues with check-in or check-out. The house is a trailer that has been added on to several times and sits on a large lot directly on the river. It is in need of updating, but has everything you need for your stay. Honesty more than you need, a bit cluttered with so much stuff. The pool and pool area are AMAZING! You will enjoy this space. The dock along the river is great for fishing and launching your kayaks off from, but is also in need of updating. A lot of the wood is rotting and unsteady. Overall, the host, the pool and the location on the river make this place worth it.
