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 $35 per night or $175 for the week. Please note that pool heat must be purchased for the entire duration of your stay, and we are unable to offer it for specific days within your reservation. However, for stays longer than a week, we can discuss accommodations to suit your needs. Thank you for your understanding

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, and in some cases, it may not get as warm as expected due to cooler outdoor conditions.

Because the performance of the heat pump depends on the weather, we are unable to offer refunds if the pool does not reach the exact temperature you prefer. However, we do everything we can to ensure the pool is heated to the best extent possible.

To ensure a smooth check-in experience and to comply with current short-term rental regulations, we ask that you complete a guest verification process through our trusted partner, Superhog. This step helps us provide enhanced protection for both our guests and our property.

Superhog will reach out to you via email and/or text with instructions for verification. This process includes a real-time selfie and ID check, as well as a safety search. Additionally, you will need to e-sign our short-term rental agreement, which outlines the house rules and important information about your stay.

Please complete both the verification and the agreement within 48 hours of booking to facilitate a quick and seamless check-in.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!

I flew in and stayed here with my husband, son, daughter in law and granddaughter. We came so my parents could meet their great grand daughter. The house was amazing. So incredibly clean and comfortable. Beds were great. The space was perfect for us to hang out and enjoy family time. Tara was an amazing host. We will definitely stay again.

Tara is truly terrific. She was on top of every single item and answered every question within 15 minutes! The place has so many kitchen accessories unlike so many places we have been to previously... she has it all. Plus, there are towels, and bikes, and chairs... everything you need. The place has plenty of room to relax, but not really as much room around the pool area as we thought... but there is a covered area with a nice big table and reclining seats. The backyard gets sun all day, so the pool stays plenty warm. It's a nice spot to relax on a quiet street close to Tarpon Springs and to Dunedin...

My husband and I loved this property and so did our six children! Everything was exactly as pictured, beautiful and comfortable, with plenty of space for all of us! The biggest hit was of course the pool and soaking up that Florida sunshine! Check in was a complete breeze, and the house was immaculate. Great to have so many amenities such as towels, paper products, shampoo and conditioner and more. The close proximity to the beaches was also a huge plus! Our favorite was Honeymoon Island. We went there during the day and also for a couple of gorgeous sunsets. You just can't beat that - the setting sun, the crashing waves, and your children running along the beach. Then a quick 15 minute drive "home" to tuck them before another great day! Such a blessing!! We'd definitely stay at the Cycling Mermaid again!

Great home located in quiet neighborhood. We really enjoyed the pool as well as bikes & having close access to the bike trail. Was easy to get to beaches & parks as well. The home had everything we needed for our family of 8. Tara was wonderful to work with & made sure everything was going well. Would highly recommend this VRBO! Thanks Tara!
