We enjoyed every second of our stay! The neighborhood was quiet so porch sitting was a favorite. The house was very clean and accurate to the pictures posted. Beds are SUPER comfortable! We will definitely be booking this property again.

LVE!

We LOVED staying at the Chubby mermaid again. The house is so close to the beautiful main river. We seen a few manatee and turtles right at our dock. The place is clean and comfortable. Their are many places to go eat and or shop at. We all LOVED staying here and hope to go back real soon!

Amazing wildlife!

Everything was great. It was the perfect location. We saw manatees, dolphins, turtles, crabs, and woodpeckers. The back deck was so nice and had a great view. The kitchen had everything you needed. The chairs and fire pit by the dock were great too. We plan on staying here again!

We enjoyed our stay but had a few concerns.

Property was located a few houses in from the entrance to the Springs, which is a nice location. The house has very few home items like hair dryer, ziplock bags, toiletries etc, unlike many of the homes I have stayed in the past. The house has an older smell to it and someone else's false lashes were left on the bathroom counter in a dish on our arrival, which made me question the cleanliness. Instructions ask you to start the laundry before you leave, but no detergent was left. Back door lock is broken, and the shower in the master makes a concerning creaking sound- like it may be structural, however we were able to shower without an issue. Most of the homes in this area are older homes-- If you're looking for a 5 star stay, this isn't the home for you, but if you want something a little more on the affordable side with a nice location that allows pets this may be a good option. There was life jackets and kayaks- we brought our own so I can't comment on the functionality. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but would probably pick another location next time we visit Weekie.

I’m sorry it wasn’t a 5 star stay for you. That is not the norm. The house is only 5 years old so there shouldn’t be an old smell or structural issues. There should also be two hair dryers so I will check on that. I will also discuss any cleaning issues with the cleaning crew.
