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!

About the host

Hosted by Kimberly McGrath

My name is Kimberly and I am so happy to be the host of Mermaid House. My partner, James, and I love to travel and meet new people from all over the world. We have created Mermaid House as a place for our family, and yours, to enjoy, relax, have fun and reconnect with loved ones!

Why they chose this property

I am a native New Yorker who came to Venice, Florida on vacation with my family 17 years ago and fell in love! I could not find a better place to spend the rest of my life! When we returned home we put our house on the market and returned to Venice 6 weeks later.

South Venice, is a beautiful, quiet neighborhood just south of Venice Island. You will find an interesting mix of older and newer homes, primarily in the Mediterranean Revival style, nestled in a tropical setting.

We chose this home because we loved the layout and the location. South Venice only has one small lake, and we are one of 9 houses on that lake. We decided on the mermaid theme because I have always loved mermaids, and my partner James loves to collect art. The house is full of beautiful mermaid art from around the world.

Mermaid House is located 5 minutes away from some of the world's best beaches. South Venice is 1 hour from Tampa, 1.5 hours from Disney and 3 hours from Miami.

The guests will also be able to go to the exclusive South Venice Private Beach, accessible by a 5 minute ferry ride with the included pass.
