Mermaids Everywhere

The Mermaid House is an awesome place to stay. The communication was quick and always helpful. The music when you enter and leave combined with the Mermaid decorations, salt water pool and wine made for a fun and unique experience

Loved the Mermaid House

I have to admit, I was a little skeptical when we first arrived with all the mermaid items in and around the house. But by the end of our stay we loved it. Kimberly was wonderful to work with. She responded promptly to all of our questions, though we didn’t have many because all our needs were anticipated. The house was wonderful, the location was fabulous and can we talk about the wine list! Thank you Kimberly and James for sharing your house with us. The Mermaid House will always be the one we check first for availability when we return to your area!

Fun, Peaceful, Relaxing

We really enjoyed our stay at The Mermaid House, including its unique collection of mermaid art, objects and artifacts. Kimberly was a great hostess who promptly responded to our questions and concerns both before and during our vacation. Thank you! We liked that the house is centrally located, within an easy drive to local shopping, downtown Venice and Englewood. We felt safe walking in the quiet residential neighborhood. We loved that the private pool, large lanai and backyard overlooking the small lake and bird sanctuary created a tranquil and relaxing vacation setting. We also liked the split floorplan, and looked forward to picking our daily bottle of wine from the extensive wine lists. The game room, musical entranceway and colorful lighting added to the fun of The Mermaid House.

Perfect

The house was amazing. Everything as described. Being from Minnesota, is was wonderful to get up every morning, sit outside with coffee and read. Very peaceful and wonderful to watch the birds and water. Very nice area and close to our family in Venice. Lot's of fun surprises, the music to greet us, amazing rooms with plenty of space and the wine! We loved the outdoor area, spent a lot of time playing cards ,visiting and using the pool. Any questions we had were answered quickly. Mermaid House met all of our needs. Would highly recommend for anyone needing a to stay in Venice- close to stores, the Gulf and perfect for down time!

Great little oasis

This was perfect for us. On a little lagoon/bird sanctuary with great places to watch all the various birds. Pool was great and loved the bay window for the birds. The bonus of having the (local) Venice ferry pass to get over to Casperson was wonderful running every 1/2 hour. Found 8 shark's teeth. Wind chimes were always sounding off. It was the perfect spot for our family. Location was good off Tamiami Trail with access to a stop light for heading North. Would stay here again next time we come down.

Home is beautiful, well appointed, and spotlessly clean! Pool & lanai equal with serene pond view!

The Mermaid house is a wonderful vacation home. Comfortable, spacious and really has everything one would want in a home. The decor and artwork is remarkable and will take a full week to really be able to appreciate it all. The lanai is a place to spend much of your time. It overlooks the clean bubbling pool as well as a very active pond. The birds, ducks, and fish are entertaining and really enhance the outdoor beauty of the home. Great location, close to beaches and downtown Venice with so many great restaurants nearby. So much to do , so much to see or just stay at this fascinating home, you can’t go wrong either way. Kimberly and James are great hosts, couldn’t ask for nicer or more accommodating people. Thank you for a memorable vacation.

Amazing home for a beach/pool acation

The Mermaid house is fantastic. The lanai and pool were serene as you overlook a small lake and bird sanctuary. The property owners supplied every amenity from water to an extensive wine cellar that you can chose from and have $ deducted from your deposit. You get ferry access to quiet beach The location is close to our favorite restaurants including Pops Sharkeys and Dockside Grill. We are already plannning our next stay

Mermaid House

Situated in a quiet neighbourhood, overlooking a peaceful pond and bird sanctuary, this lovely home afforded a relaxing enjoyable vacation. The owner was extremely helpful for first time tenants. The House was impeccably clean and well organized as well as being uniquely decorated. We will not hesitate to return to this wonderful home and highly recommend it. Thank you to the owners for the opportunity to experience true Florida living.
