Brian, Thanks for taking the time to write us a review. I’m so glad your family enjoyed your stay at Mermaid Cove Cottage. Our housekeeper commented on how nice y’all left everything, which we appreciate. You’re welcome back anytime. Thanks again for staying with us for your family’s Homosassa vacation.
We had an excellent stay at this house. Perfect location, close access to main channel with proximity to restaurants, springs and scalloping. Huge deck with fish cleaning station, fire pit, awesome outdoor shower. Kitchen equipped with everything you can possibly need. Host is very kind and responsive and definitely take pride at a property. Couldn’t imagine better spot for homosassa trip.
We just spent a week at this cute little mermaid cottage. It was such an amazing vacation. We have two families there was plenty of room and games for the kids. The house was well stocked and the ice machine was a huge plus, especially when we went out on the boat daily. Linda was a great host and made the whole process easy. We hope to come back again next year.

Our stay was amazing. This little river house suited all of our families needs. Lots of outdoor and common area space for the whole family to enjoy. The dock and canal was perfect for our boat. The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of cookware and utensils for family meals. Linda was great and very responsive throughout our stay. We will definitely stay here again.
This was a perfect spot for us! Check in was easy and seamless , house was clean and ready for us. Loved being on the canal, kept boat 50’ from back door. Highly recommend this house!

Thanks for the recommendation! So glad everything worked out well for your family…you were great guests and welcome back anytime.
We absolutely loves our stay at mermaids cove! Mother mermaid(Linda) was wonderful and very responsive. House is in a great location on the river and is perfect for bringing your boat. Plenty of parking for truck trailer and cars. Accommodations were great! We had everything he could need ice machine, cleaning station, extra life jackets! The house was perfectly decorated and furnished. Beds are very comfortable. The shotgun kitchen is very cool as well. We had a great weekend scalloping and will be looking to come back soon!
We loved our stay! The house was spacious and so clean. It had anything you could need inside (dishes, towels, coffee maker, etc) Our favorite part was the beautiful backyard with large brick pavers and property wide dock. We sat in the backyard every evening and fished off the dock with our kids. It was very convenient to have our boat in the canal behind us instead of dragging it in and out. We loved this location!

Thank you for taking the time to review our home and I'm so happy your family enjoyed their stay. We hope to host you again in the future.
I can’t say enough great things about the house and the host. The house was wonderful and they had so many sleeping options. The beds were very comfortable and the house had everything we needed from soaps, shampoos, laundry detergent, etc.. they also had kayaks and paddle boats as well as lifejackets available to use. Location was amazing and right on the water!
The kids loved the outside shower! We loved being able to hook up to the dock after scalloping.
Not only are the host very honest people, but they also employ honest people. Shortly after we checked out, we were notified that the housekeeper found my purse and a few articles of clothing. Everything was shipped back to us in two days and of course everything was still in my purse just as I thought it would be. We Will absolutely be staying here again! Thank you, Thank you! -Amy Hansen
