About this property

MERMAID MANOR heated POOL!! Waterfront, KAYAKS, boat dock, Weeki Wachee manatees

wake up to Mermaids in the pool?
The ICONIC Mermaid Manor, possibly the most popular vacation home in Weeki Wachee. Fully caged, heated pool!! Glamping and its finest.
Dogs welcome. Any size. But must be friendly and well behaved. Yard is fully fenced for their safety.
Mermaid Manor is a 4 bedroom, 3 bath pool home. Heated pool with built in seats is completely enclosed under enormous screened lanai. Lanai has lots of gathering space with loungers, dining tables and a gas grill. We have kayaks, life vests and paddles to explore the beautiful clear springs and watch the manatees. Yard is completely fenced. The docks, pool, lanai and entire house is for you and your family to enjoy privately. Only eco-friendly pest control products are professionally applied. We are trying to provide our guests with a carefree, healthy environment so they can concentrate on rest and relaxation. Our home comes with a fully equipped updated kitchen, all linens, towels, shampoo and soap, and even beach towels. Just about anything you would normally use in your home. Two flat screen TV's, and high speed internet.
There is on site parking for your boat trailer. The boat launch is less that 1 mile away at Rogers Park which also has a sandy beach.
Our home is on a 100 ft waterfront bulkhead located on a deep canal with direct access to the Weeki Wachee river and only 20 minute idle to the gulf. 7 minute car ride to the Pine Island Beach to watch beautiful sunsets.
There is an abundance of local waterfront restaurants that afford plenty of opportunity to cater to just about every taste. If this property is unavailable during the time you hoped, I have other Weeki Wachee vacation homes that might fit your needs. If you want a beautiful pool and be able to paddle the clear Weeki, this is your choice.
No massive check out duties. This is your vacation.

We stayed here for our annual scalloping trip. Plenty of room for 7 of us. Nothing fancy but served our needs. We used the kayaks and Grill. The screened in pool area is the highlight of this property. So nice after being out on a boat all day! Also plenty of parking and lots of extra towels and linens provided!

Perfect stay!

This location was perfect for our group. We had 9 people in total (4 adults and 5 teens) and there were enough kayaks for all of us. The pool was an amazing addition too. The home was a bit close quarters when we were all inside but it was rare that we were all in except to sleep. We would totally come here again.

We had a great time and the house has a great layout for a couple families. My 12 and 8 year old paddled all the way from the spring head back to the house in their own kayak. Kevin is an amazing host. We appreciate the early check-in, extra supplies (garbage bags, dish soap, shampoo, salt, pepper, and other pantry items, kayaks, paddles, floats and so much more) It made it easy to settle in. He is very responsive to all messages. Thank you so much!

About the host

Hosted by Kevin Harris

Host profile image
Retired nature lover. First time to visit Weeki Wachee hooked me. I immediately bought a home , and now have three. All my vacation homes cater to completely different lifestyle needs. One home is in the quiet area with access to Mud River by Mary's Fish Camp. Has a boat ramp and very fast access to fishing and scalloping in the gulf. Another home has access to Weeki Wachee with a heated, salt water pool that is screened in. And the third is a super modern living home with beautiful king master suite and two levels that look over the canal with quick access to the Weeki Wachee river.

Why they chose this property

THE POOL!! Most guests are returning families year after year. This property has become a second home to so many.

What makes this property unique

This is THE vacation rental in Weeki Wachee. Beautiful pool AND waterfront so you can paddle to the river and enjoy the manatees
