Perfect house for a girl's weekend! Very well appointed and comfortable with plenty of seating throughout. The kitchen was clean and had everything we needed for cooking in house.

Steve is an absolutely wonderful host. The house is certainly cute, but it is older. My sister and I were visiting family close by so we didn’t spend much time at the Mermaid House…basically just a nice, comfortable place to sleep. Didn’t use the kitchen at all and Steve was immediately on a small issue we had with the bathroom sink. Great location in a Mt. Dora neighborhood close to downtown.
