What a nice cozy place to stay. I had a great time. The listing forgets to mention the home has a nice little office space which was perfect for me because I did have to work on this trip. And, I think it says the neighbors lift was available at an extra charge but during my stay I used the included lift at no extra charge. The property owners where responsive and helpful at check in. Highly recommend.

Awesome Family Getaway

We couldn't have found a more comfortable place to spend time. Resteraunts, grocery stores, fishing, canoeing, kayaking and more to do. The entire lanai overlooks the canal and furnished with new furnishings. We all enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend spending time there.

Great stay - excellent communication

Dan was great to work with and we very much enjoyed their space. The location is excellent if you want peace and quiet. The screened in patio area is really nice. Well stocked with all the kitchen essentials. This area was hit hard by Hurricane Ian but they are making a nice recovery. Note that this location is not close to the beaches in Fort Myers so keep that in mind, but we drove all the way to Lovers Key State Park twice and Sanibel once and it wasn't an issue - just plan accordingly. Would definitely stay again.

The property was great. The hosts are very communicative. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking. The fridge and freezer are nice sized and there is an optional drawer that can either. The screened in porch is a nice place to relax. The neighborhood is nice. It is a short drive to Publix or WinnDixie. And there are some good restaurants on the island.

Very beautifully appointed home with great amenities ( 5 bikes, 3 Kayaks, games for rainy days!

Never ran out of cleaning supplies such as dishwasher and detergent, paper towels, toilet tissue, basically everything we needed was there except for the food. Although most beaches are an hour away it is a nice morning drive. Several parks nearby are quite lovely ....Lots of little shops and restaurants to stroll through closely, and Winn Dixie and CVS is only 5 minutes if that!

Amazing Hideaway Continued!

Home extremely well kept, stocked with all essentials and more! Screened in porch was an absolute delight, read relax, you can see dolphins playing and Manatees coming up for air.

Mermaid Hideaway

Great place to go if you like to get away from all the chain restaurants and stores. We enjoyed bicycling, kayaking and reading on the screen in porch overlooking the canal. Mermaid Waterfront Hideaway was exactly like the pictures. It was super clean, very cozy and we felt right at home. Thanks to Dan and Linda for allowing us to enjoy their home.

Awesome canal home

Great home right on the canal in St James City. Clean, well decorated and exactly what we were looking for, stocked with every amenity you would ever need.. Great boat slip out front with direct access to Pine Island Sound and a great big screened in patio for enjoying a drink and watching the sunset. Would highly recommend for anyone looking in the area.
