About this property

Just 1 mile from the best beaches in the continental U.S. There is no charge for pool heat!

Located just 1 mile from Indian Shores Beach, welcome to The Mermaid House. This property offers room to spread your wings with 3 separate buildings. The main home is a remodeled spacious 2,558 square foot 3 bedroom 3 bathroom home. The first floor features two living areas, dining for 8, the kitchen, and a full bathroom. 3 bedrooms are located on the 2nd floor, all with king beds. The primary bedroom has a balcony overlooking the pool, a step in shower and jacuzzi tub.

A large salt water heated pool separates the pool house from the main house. The entire pool area is screened in offering protection from bugs and the sun. An exquisite mermaid mural and fountain greet you upon entering the pool area. The pool house fittingly has a pool table, dart board and kitchenette. A queen size murphy bed quickly turns this room into sleeping quarters. Beyond the pool house is a stand alone 1 bedroom we refer to as the Casita. Outside of the Casita and Pool House you will find a sun deck with room for four.

The immaculately landscaped property features too many plants to list, including live oaks and palm trees. A large deck off of the dining area offers outdoor dining with a gas grill.

All 5 bedrooms have a smart TV, ceiling fan, and large closet.

For the security of our guests and the safety of our home, we have external security cameras, including a blink video doorbell and two cameras in the front yard. Only the front yard and exterior of the entryway are captured by these cameras. There are no cameras in the home or backyard.

Ahhh the pool

The Mermaid House was the perfect place to gather for a relaxing time with our family and local friends. The house was well appointed with everything you’d need. They even provided little extras like Kcups and condiments. The pool was the highlight, absolutely stunning. I would definitely recommend it and would love to come back. The only drawback is the side yard is situated on a semi busy/noisy road, but it’s not a dealbreaker. Thank you to the host. 😁

Family Phillies Trip

The house was roomy and clean. The pool was wonderful! Short ride to Clearwater, Tampa, and an even shorter ride to the beach!!! Previous reviews complained of neighbors, but at no time did a neighbor approach. Great week- easy entry to the house and a spacious garage! I would rent again!!!

Great Home Away from Home

The property was just as it was advertised. This piece of paradise was located nicely between Indian Sands, Clearwater, and Indian Shores. The host was easy to contact and they responded within 8 hrs via email. We enjoyed our stay!
