We absolutely love the mermaid cottage. This is our second year staying there and we had a wonderful time and made lots of memories with our family and friends. The property had everything you need. Kitchen is well stocked with supplies to cook, house is clean, games to play with the kids and ice machine in the shed for the cooler when going out on the river. Perfect place to come vacation. We will definitely be back next year!

Amazing river home!

Our stay was amazing. This little river house suited all of our families needs. Lots of outdoor and common area space for the whole family to enjoy. The dock and canal was perfect for our boat. The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of cookware and utensils for family meals. Linda was great and very responsive throughout our stay. We will definitely stay here again.

Perfect vacation!

We just spent a week at this cute little mermaid cottage. It was such an amazing vacation. We have two families there was plenty of room and games for the kids. The house was well stocked and the ice machine was a huge plus, especially when we went out on the boat daily. Linda was a great host and made the whole process easy. We hope to come back again next year.

Homosassa house

We had an excellent stay at this house. Perfect location, close access to main channel with proximity to restaurants, springs and scalloping. Huge deck with fish cleaning station, fire pit, awesome outdoor shower. Kitchen equipped with everything you can possibly need. Host is very kind and responsive and definitely take pride at a property. Couldn’t imagine better spot for homosassa trip.

Great house in a great location!

We loved our stay! The house was spacious and so clean. It had anything you could need inside (dishes, towels, coffee maker, etc) Our favorite part was the beautiful backyard with large brick pavers and property wide dock. We sat in the backyard every evening and fished off the dock with our kids. It was very convenient to have our boat in the canal behind us instead of dragging it in and out. We loved this location!

Boating getaway

We absolutely loves our stay at mermaids cove! Mother mermaid(Linda) was wonderful and very responsive. House is in a great location on the river and is perfect for bringing your boat. Plenty of parking for truck trailer and cars. Accommodations were great! We had everything he could need ice machine, cleaning station, extra life jackets! The house was perfectly decorated and furnished. Beds are very comfortable. The shotgun kitchen is very cool as well. We had a great weekend scalloping and will be looking to come back soon!

Wonderful house and host!

I can’t say enough great things about the house and the host. The house was wonderful and they had so many sleeping options. The beds were very comfortable and the house had everything we needed from soaps, shampoos, laundry detergent, etc.. they also had kayaks and paddle boats as well as lifejackets available to use. Location was amazing and right on the water! The kids loved the outside shower! We loved being able to hook up to the dock after scalloping. Not only are the host very honest people, but they also employ honest people. Shortly after we checked out, we were notified that the housekeeper found my purse and a few articles of clothing. Everything was shipped back to us in two days and of course everything was still in my purse just as I thought it would be. We Will absolutely be staying here again! Thank you, Thank you! -Amy Hansen
