3/2 FLA ISLAND BEACH HOUSE GETAWAY w/ 2 BEACHES! 10-EXCEPTIONAL. SLEEPS 6. Ahh!





We thank you for your time to review our property.

Our 3/2 Florida Gulfside Island Beach House was UNSCATHED FROM ANY HURRICANE'S UNFORGIVING RATH! NO WIND OR WATER DAMAGE. WE ARE PROUDLY RATED AS A VRBO 5-STAR EXCEPTIONAL HOST. AND, WE HAVE 2 BEACHES INCLUDED WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE!!

Enjoy our 5-Star rated, authentic Florida, Gulfside Island Beach, Stilt House, we call "Seaclusion". There aren't a lot left in Florida anymore. Huge 800sf. outdoor wrap-around enjoyment deck facing the beautiful 600-mile-wide Gulf. One beach (Only for our VRBO guests and island residents, occasionally. No one else.) a few steps away. Lots of palm trees, a gentle warm Gulf breeze, your favorite beverage and a glorious "beachside" sunset most every night. You have arrived. Welcome! So, Relax. Decompress. Enjoy. Ahhh! And a SECOND BEACH located a 100yds. away. Walk to the newly opened Pine Island's own Alfred McKethan County Park. Beautiful beach with county-maintained bathrooms, showers, BBQ, shelters, picnic tables, newly installed kid's playground & more! TWO BEACHES ON OUR ISLAND!

We are located at 3481 Harbor Drive, Spring Hill (Weeki Wachee), FL 34607, in Hernando County. Located on a little Gulfside Island ONE HOUR NORTH of beautiful Tampa Airport & Clearwater, FL. Referred to as Little Pine Island. Fly to Tampa (TPA), and 1 hr. later you are on our Gulfside Island with your toes in the sand! Our beach is a natural one, maintained solely by Mother Nature; no one else. It's at the end of our dead-end street only 100 feet away.

NO PRICE INCREASE FOR 2026 or 2027! Book early before others do. Free cancellation up to 14 days before check- in. We are a VRBO 5- Star Premier Host with over 56+ reviews. Please check them.

This is the home of the world famous "Weeki Wachee Springs Park Mermaids" (a live underwater theater Mermaid show) since 1947. Just 15 minutes away. Rent a kayak and drift down the crystal clear Weeki Wachee River. Awesome! You'll always remember it. And they bring you back to your car. Perfect afternoon.

Our beach has: No sudden drop-offs, no dangerous rip tides or undertow and no dangerous surprises. Maybe some seaweed, compliments of Mother Nature. Just a very gradual taper that's fun for everyone to enjoy. Additionally, right there, (close to shore), there's a good chance you will see wild dolphins pass in front of you. No crowds. No traffic. No driving around looking for a parking space. No - "Are we there yet?" No stress! Simply leave your car in our shaded parking space under the house, grab your sunscreen, towel, beach chair and go. Relax in this secluded island paradise away from the crowded, packed beaches of everywhere else. A perfect "Seaclusion" spot for Honeymooners. Glorious sunsets await you. Everything you need is there. Features included in your Gulf coast Beach House vacation:

* UNBELIEVEABLY HUGE 800 SQUARE FEET GULFSIDE DECK! It wraps around two sides of the house and absolutely doubles your island living experience! One section has our " outdoor lounge" with a coved roof with an outdoor rug. There are lounge chairs with cushions, picnic table and chairs, 42" Smart TV on a rolling stand and a ceiling fan to cool you off. Watch the World Cup Activities with a beautiful Gulfside view! "Mermaids" Tiki Bar, and a full- size deck-top bathroom with shower. All on the same level as the house. Our Beach House is the best vacation value because of the huge added enjoyment space. Please read our reviews. They all rave about it. A perfect spot for remote meetings too.

Dolphin paradise!

It is a wonderful place to stay and play as a family. The beach is private, so there were no worries with kids taking a walk on the beach by themselves. The house was clean and had tons of extras. They had everything down to coffee filters, cooking oil, fishing poles with tackle, beach toys, snacks and more! We were lucky and saw dolphins every day, along with lots of different sea life. Would highly recommend!

Bob and family, We are glad you and your family had a good time on our little island get-a-way; we call: "Seaclusion at The Mermaid's Mansion." Thank you for your business and the 5-star review. You are so right; our beach is just a "stone's throw" away on our dead-end street. No parking or traffic to contend with either. The 800sf wrap around deck, doubles the vacation enjoyment experience. No fun at all being cooped up on a tiny deck. A wonderful view of the Gulf and plenty of room to relax tops it all off. Best value on Pine Island! Hope to hear from you again. You are always welcome. Relax. Decompress. Enjoy. Ahhh!! Regards. Larry & Cristina

Why they chose this property

This property has been in our family since 1974. The house was built in 1985 and has had tender loving care ever since. We added the huge 800sf sun deck a few years ago. And an additional 800sf deck at ground level. Yes, 1600sf of activity deck to enjoy. What a fun place to relax and enjoy the view of the Gulf of Mexico. We also have a full-size building lot directly next to the house; that is grassed and mowed. So, your kids have plenty of room to burn up that energy before bedtime. Watch them play from the deck. We just gave it a fresh new coat of 'Beachy Sunset Coral" house paint and Pure White railing paint for that: "Decompress. Relax. Enjoy. Ahhh!" feeling you deserve. We love it. Hope you will too.

What makes this property unique

We are pleasantly close to everything you could possibly need but remains private and off the beaten path. We call it "Seaclusion." However, some people refer to it as "The Mermaid House." This is our family's private beach home and has always been maintained and treated with the utmost care and attention to detail. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
