We were so happy to return to the Cycling Mermaid for our 4th visit! The home is comfortable for our family of 9. The children loved the pool and we had so much fun. Tara is an awesome host. We have stayed at several properties around the country and this host is top - notch, for sure! Always responsive to questions, and the house has everything we need in stock. Thank you so much - our stay was a blessing!

This is our second time staying here and we’ll be back again! The house is perfect for a family getaway. We really enjoyed the improvements to the backyard with additional patio space and outdoor seating. We made sure to take a bike ride and love that we don’t have to worry about bringing helmets as they are provided. We made sure to use the beach sand toys, chairs and cooler for our ocean days. The house is a short drive from Clearwater Beach, Honeymoon Island and Sunset Beach. We had many family meals at the house and enough cooking utensils for any dinner we made. We appreciate having an outdoor fridge by the pool to keep some extra drinks out there. As a mom with a young child, the super secure pool fence is the BEST part of this house and the reason we come back. 5 Stars!

The house and pool were great. Safe neighborhood. Kids loved the bunk beds. They had local coffee and honey to use in addition to a full coffee bar. The travel itinerary and recommendations were very helpful. It was centrally located to a lot of things to do and see. Would stay here again. The host was very nice and accommodating. It was little warm/humid in the master bedroom during the day. Just had to keep an eye on the thermostat and make sure the fan was on but night was fine.
