Summary: The Mermaid House was the best place we have rented. Lynda really thought of everything to make our stay fun. The house is super cute, cozy, and clean. We had our 2 grandsons and use everything inside and out. We played karaoke, boards games, Cornhole and ring toss. We used the kayaks, clear boat, paddles boards, cooked out, relaxed on the floating dock, morning coffee on the patio and had a camp fire at night. The Hospital Hole Spring was a short paddle away where we saw so many Manatees. We stayed 4 nights and wished we stayed longer! Lynda was very accommodating we had a late flight home and she let us stay the whole day. We can't wait to come back!
