Our curated digital guidebook includes restaurant recommendations, local attractions, and all your discount codes.

Fees:
- The $ 89 "Management Fee" serves as an accidental damage waiver, covering up to $1500 in accidental damages. It does not cover negligence. or pet damage.**
- Pool heat is available for an additional charge of $45 per night or $225 per week. As a reminder, pool heat must be purchased for the entire stay and cannot be added for specific days within your reservation. For stays longer than a week, we’re happy to discuss accommodations to best suit your needs. We appreciate your understanding.
Please note that from May through October, pool heat is generally not recommended, as the water naturally stays warm due to the weather. However, if you still wish to add pool heat, please let us know at least 48 hours in advance.
Our pool is heated by a heat pump, which relies on the outside air temperature to warm the water. While the system is effective, if the weather is particularly cold, it can take longer to reach the desired temperature. Sometimes, it may not get as warm as expected due to cooler outdoor conditions.
Because the heat pump's performance depends on the weather, we cannot offer refunds if the pool does not reach the exact temperature you prefer. However, we do everything possible to ensure the pool is heated to the best extent possible.
-The cleaning fee covers a standard turnover. If the home requires excessive cleaning beyond normal use (including but not limited to excessive trash, stains, bodily fluids, excessive dirt, moving furniture, or evidence of unapproved additional guests), the additional cleaning costs will be documented and charged through the Resolution Center.

We had a wonderful week at the Cycling Mermaid house! The host was extremely helpful, professional, and proactive. My family (including 3 kids/teenagers) has stayed at a lot of short term rentals over the years, and this one of the best we've experienced. The home had everything we needed in the kitchen, plenty of towels for the pool, and I really appreciated the fully stocked coffee bar the morning after a late flight! The heated pool and video games were a huge hit with my kids, and the outdoor space was perfect for grilling and relaxing. I travel to Palm Harbor often to visit family, and will absolutely book this home again. Thanks for hosting us!

Perfect place for what we came for

My family and I came to celebrate my aunt's 75th birthday and it was a perfect location to host the BBQ. We had a pool for my kiddos to cool off in and enough space to enjoy the outdoor under patio for seating and when it got too hot, we went into the open kitchen area. The bedrooms were great and the beds were so comfy. :) Tara was great at getting back to me when we had a few hiccups but nothing that held us back. Would highly recommend! Thanks for hosting us.
