*Early Check-In / Late Check-Out Options:

Our standard check-in time is 4:00 PM, but if you'd like to arrive earlier, we offer flexible early check-in options based on availability starting five days before your arrival date. This allows us time to try and sell the full night first, which is always our priority.

Here are the early check-in options if available:
1 Hour Early Check-In – No charge (subject to availability)
Half Day Stay (Check-In Between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM) – Half the nightly rate
Before 10:00 AM – Full nightly rate

Late Check-Out:
1 hour late – $30
Between 10 AM and 4 PM – Half the nightly rate
Later than 4 PM – Full nightly rate

This option will be offered based on availability, starting five days before check-in. Please note that we cannot accommodate early check-ins or late check-outs on same-day turnovers.
Fees help us maintain a seamless schedule for our cleaning team and ensure the best stay experience for all guests.

Thank you for understanding!

The unit is monitored by a noise detection device called Minut. This device monitors how loud it gets in the unit, cigarette and marijuana smoke, and how many Bluetooth devices walk through the door.

This device is solely to prevent parties from occurring in the unit and ensure we respect the neighbors. This is not a recording device.

For more information about the device, see the minut website.

*Management Fee
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 HEATING FEE
Pool heat is available for an additional charge of $35 per night or $175 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.

*GUEST VERIFICATION
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, Truvi. This step helps us provide enhanced protection for both our guests and our property.

Truvi 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.

This home was absolutely perfect for my family’s Valentines Day Getaway and marriage proposal site. Tara went above and beyond preparing this home for guests, we had everything we needed our entire stay. I am very picky and am diagnosed OCD as well, as soon as I walked in, my anxiety from the drive was gone. The comfort was unmatched, the beds were great, and I have a sleep number bed at home. We hired a private chef to come during our stay, he was very impressed with the kitchen and the surprise bonus coffee bar! My grand baby was especially happy with the arcade games!!! My sons proposal was perfect and the photographer asked for the info for himself and his family as well. If your going to the Tampa area, this home is a Must have for your stay, because even my husband was happy, watching the news poolside! I give this home a genuine 10 stars out of 5 and we will definitely be booking again. Thank you Tara for setting the bar so high, chefs kiss. The Pinckney’s

We stayed here for a girls weekend trip and it was perfect! Close to Honeymoon beach (nice & relaxing) and 20 min from Clearwater. The pool was amazing and the layout was very comfortable. Loved all of the touches in the property. We didn’t need or want for anything.. would definitely stay again! Thank you!!

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!

We have traveled to different places and stayed in many homes; however, this house by far has been our favorite! It had literally everything you can ask for. From our bedroom to the kitchen to the living room to the patio and especially the pool!!! AMAZING!! Thank you for thinking of of it all. We will definitely be looking to come back soon!

We had a wonderful time staying at this property. Tasteful decor, good layout, comfortable beds, literally everything you could need in the kitchen - including coffee and creamer! The pool was a definite highlight, heated to a warm 86* - even the adults got in with no complaints of cold water (and we went in February!) The bikes are a great addition - we only used them once, on the last day of our trip, but I recommend taking them out on the Panellas trail - such a lovely ride! The home is close to grocery stores and restaurants, and a quick drive to Tarpon Springs or Dunedin. Tara was a fabulous host and was very responsive. 10/10 recommend!

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...

We really enjoyed our stay at “ The Cycling Mermaid” More house than we needed for sure. Was just two of us. It definitely can sleep 9. Comfortably. Short drive to Clearwater Beach. We took a walk on the bike trail. If our stay were longer we definitely would have taken advantage of using bikes. You just cross street to get to bike trail. Plenty of coffee provided . Also, shampoo, conditioner and body wash were provided as well. Neighborhood safe and quiet. We settled in quickly. Would not hesitate to stay here again. Outside pool area was a very nice addition to our stay. A Publix and local shops and eateries within walking distance. Thanks Tara.

This residential area was beautiful and convenient to many restaurants, breweries, etc. The neighborhood felt safe. The Pinellas Trail was only a ride or walk away, and we rode the beautiful trail with the complimentary bikes in the garage. The backpack cooler was very helpful and we enjoyed 2 days at the beach with it. The house itself is beautiful and like-new. Every kitchen appliance that we needed was available including range and refrigerator, dishwasher, blender, mixer, tea kettle, coffee pot, and probably more that we didn't use. The kitchen also offered some items that we didn't expect such as freezer bags, paper towels, olive oil, a selection of spices, and lunch containers. There was plenty of room for indoor dining for our group of 6 in the kitchen. Additionally, a washer and dryer was available and appreciated during our stay. The living room had plenty of comfortable seating for a group of 6 as well as a large TV. A side stand had an abundance of clean beach towels available, and we used them on trips to the beach as well as evenings spent by the private pool in the backyard. The pool itself was kept at a temperature of 86 degrees. Skimmer was available for use. The pool was clean and big enough for lounging or playing. The covered patio had a dining table and chairs with a refrigerator, a grill, and an outdoor TV, and was in perfect view of the pool. The host offered a baby gate to fence off the pool but since we didn't have children with us, we opted to say no to the baby gate. The entire backyard is set up as a truly inviting outdoor space, and we enjoyed it on multiple occasions. The master bedroom features a large and very comfortable bed, a dresser and television, a huge walk -in closet (more of a dressing room), and a large master bathroom. It was decorated beautifully. Two of the other bedrooms also have very comfortable beds large enough to fit a couple. Each room was decorated nicely and the occupants enjoyed them. A fourth bedroom would be perfect for children - the bunk bed might be a little short for an adult to sleep in but it would be perfect for a child's room. There was a second bathroom but I actually never went into it. My housemates used it during the stay and had no issues. This is a high quality home in a great neighborhood and close to most everything by walking, biking, or driving. You will not be sorry to rent this home. We hope to be back next year! Thank you Tara - you were a responsive, great host.

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!
