About this property

Ozona Waterfront Mermaid House

Welcome mermaids and mermen to Ozona, a friendly waterfront community located in Palm Harbor on the gulf of Mexico with a laid back vibe and easy access to six marinas as well as 45 miles of the Pinellas trail. Founded as a fishing village and seaside sanctuary, the Ozona bluffs have maintained a true small village unspoiled ambiance. Walk or bike down streets lined with old oak trees dripping with Spanish moss. Live like a local. . . hopping from serene sunset spots overlooking the sound, or hit one of the half dozen unique local restaurants or pubs accessible by golf cart. Located 3 miles from Dunedin, 2 miles from Honeymoon Island and 1 mile from downtown Palm Harbor this area offers an eclectic ensemble of dining options and not-to-be-missed coastal shopping. Trolley service is available just blocks away to chauffer you from Tarpon Springs to Clearwater Beach. Bring your boat (22' or less) and keep it on the lift in your backyard (fee applies), or rent one and get out fishing, dolphin or manatee watching. Make a run out to one of the 9 islands in the inter-coastal waterway and have an entire beach with fabulous shelling all to yourself! House has just undergone renovations and is located on a quiet cul-de-sac on the water, with boat lift, dock, and canoe available. Driveway easily acommodates 2 vehicles. House if fully stocked and pleasantly decorated in an inviting coastal motif. Choose from the Tommy Bahama room with queen bed or the Surf Suite with dual twin beds and make space for additional guests on the pull-out couch. Enjoy water views from the spacious and open sun-room, lounge on the dock or bask after dark beside the fire pit and reminisce on your day. Let us help you customize your vacation to be as relaxing or activity packed as you would like.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Mermaid House! The property was exactly as described, which made everything feel easy and stress-free from the start. We spent so much time fishing right off the dock, and having access to the kayaks to explore the bayou was such a fun bonus. The area was peaceful and quiet, making it the perfect getaway for our family to relax and enjoy time together. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a laid-back, family-friendly escape!

The house appeared to be clean on arrival. However, the crockery, glassware, and silverware were all dirty.The dishwasher needed a good cleaning and the pods were old and solidified.The BBQ is dirty and rusty and could not be used.The linen on the master bed had not been changed from the previous guests visit.One of the bathrooms is in the garage, and there was a collection of hair in the shower drain. The windows and blinds are in a sad condition. The host refunded the cleaning fee but it would have been better to have a clean place to stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 Apr 2026
We pride ourselves on our high cleanliness standards and take these comments seriously. However, this review is not reflective of our professional cleaning service, which thoroughly prepares the home before every arrival. The home is indeed professionally cleaned between every guest, linens are always changed, and the dishwasher, BBQ, and all amenities are checked regularly. The blinds are in working order less one louver which broke during your stay and has been replaced. It's also worth noting: the garage bathroom is clearly disclosed in the listing. Had there truly been cleanliness concerns of this scale, a refund of only the cleaning fee seems like an oddly modest reaction. We take guest experience seriously, but we also stand by the condition and quality of our home-and by the many guests who've had a very different experience.

We absolutely fell in love with the view of the bayou and the Florida room for morning coffee. With the location walkable from the restaurants in Ozona, this is a fantastic find.

What an adorable, comfortable place, and a wonderful neighborhood. The hosts added several 'extras' that really made us feel at home. We greatly enjoyed our holiday stay here (they even set out a countertop tree for the occasion!) and we are considering a return trip next year!
