Mermaid house on the river
5 star stay. Pam the owner was extremely accommodating and always checked on us to make sure our stay was spectacular. The outside is where it is at. You are right on the main Weeki Wachee River with an incredible LARGE pation with stairs that walk right into the river. We grilled, we kayaked, we sat outside to watch all the other kayakers go by. It was an incredible long weekend. I would stay here again. Thank you Pam for everything!

Wonderful home!
Pam and her pup Julie were wonderful hosts! Very attentive and kind. Her home was so fun, and it was great to have such an expansive outdoor space. The location was also excellent, and fun to have steps right down to the water. Note that it is really for 4 people max, not 5 as listed.

Great Time, Perfect Spot
Pam and her mermaid house were perfect. Awesome spot on the River. Pam was a friendly and gracious host and the house was perfect fit for a weekend getaway and we were able to comfortable fit our 3 elementary aged kids in the queen bed. We spent most of our time in the back yard and in the river and even in August got to see manatees and a dolphin and tons of other wildlife you don’t usually get to see in the wild. Perfect end to summer

Wonderful stay on the Weeki Wachee River!
Pam was an amazing host who went out of her way to make our stay fun and interesting. The place is adorable and right on the river - we saw manatees swim right up to our stairs :) Beds were comfortable, and the space had everything we needed for a great stay. Thank you, Pam! We will be back someday soon I hope.

Fantastic views while nestled in a true fantasy world!
You must stay in this house to truly enjoy all the time and effort put into its creation. Pam was very good at getting in touch with me to help check in our group and acquaint us with the property. It is truly a unique and enjoyable space. In her write up she was very clear about what the space came with. I loved cooking on the outside bar. There is a refrigerator both outside and in the Florida room. Where else can you be cooking and see a manatee swim by? Her BBQ worked great! I camp a lot so I bring my own camp kitchen with paper plates and other items that make for a more enjoyable and easy time for outdoor cookery. It is Florida and in the wilds of the Weekie Wachee river so there will be some no seeums and plenty of river wildlife too! I’m in awe of the work Pam has done to create every fairy tale loving inner child’s dream come true. Each area needs time to really look around and take in the details and love that went into its creation. I can not wait to return to this house again. Pam also is such a kind and helpful woman. She pointed us to many local eateries and answered all our questions. She is as unique as the house she created. Pam is a true artist and what I would consider a super host. We took her 3 single kayaks up the river. Gorgeous. It was also heart warming to see how many people were enchanted by the art painted on the river wall and the beauty of the whole property. I love this place and I love Pam for giving my friends and I an unforgettable experience.

Best Riverfront Experience
Pam’s place was fabulous. We enjoyed the patio, the grill, and just relaxing outside on the river. There’s no better view. The steps lead right into the water. It’s fabulous. We loved it. Thanks, Pam. 😊
