About this property
The Mermaid Studio
The Mermaid room is a luxurious 400 sq ft ground-floor studio featuring a private entrance, bedroom, and a spacious master bath. A small buffet bar features a mini fridge, coffee maker, microwave, hotplates, and an air fryer.
If you'd like to check in early, check with me. It's possible.
There are 4.5 other units available on the property. The half-room is the Hostage room. Lol! It is located downstairs inside the house, featuring a private 1/4 bath. It is less than 100 sq ft, but cozy with a TV, bed, dresser, air conditioning, and a 1/2 bath across the hall. It's usually used by guests who are visiting full-room guests. Ask me for info. Private dock. Boaters Paradise is located on the Cotee River about .5 mi from the open Gulf. Bring your fresh catch (grouper, tuna, Mahi, snook, sheepshead, and more) and throw it on the grill. Giant outside property on the river with dock access.
My friends say the house is haunted. Lol! The man who built the home is also said to haunt the downtown Suncoast Theater. You can make your own decision. If Willard does haunt the house, he is a nice ghost. No clocks will keep time, so you'll notice there aren't any in the house.
Surrounded by several tiki bars within kayaking distance. Can also kayak to downtown, Sims Park, Durney Key, Anclote Key, and several sandbars.
There are several places nearby to rent boats, paddleboards, and bicycles. I have/ several kayaks which are free to use.
Golf cart rental is also available.
Visit downtown New Port Richey, home to several new restaurants, breweries, and bars. Check out Sims Park for festivals and concerts. Try Tropical Breeze Casino.
Barbeques. Choose from a smoker, gas or charcoal grill.
Buy cheap hot dogs to feed the birdie (Rudy). He's the one in the pictures.
Extremely clean, well-behaved pups are welcome with a $25 cleaning fee.
Out back is a large screened-in patio, a large picnic table, a private dock, and a fire pit.
