About this house rental

We had a successful and rather quick recovery from Hurricane Ian, and now we are in the recovery process from Milton!. Though we had to cancel many reservations after the October 9th hurricane, we plan to have guests return on Feb 1, 2025

House Description:

Experience the laid-back, easy Captiva Island lifestyle with this classic 2 bedroom, 2 full bath cottage with no stairs to deal with. This is an extremely easy home to entertain children. You'll see why this is perhaps the most popular rental house on Captiva based on rental history. The house just had a new A/C system, all new flooring and interior paint in September 2021. And December 2021 saw the installation of new energy-saving impact windows and full outside painting. Of course, recent hurricane recovery work has repeated some of that previous work.

The Mermaid's private, secluded, 26 ft x 14 ft heated and newly resurfaced pool with paver stone deck is just off the double French doors of the living room. The Mermaid Home may be called a cottage, but this house is as well updated and perhaps better equipped than a new luxury home.

Included is a 42' HDTV, a 6-disc CD player with a large music selection, Bluetooth connection to our 100-watt Onkyo receiver with Bose inside speakers and outside pool speakers. Wireless Comcast cable Internet is in place.

The primary bedroom has a King bed with 32" HDTV and a new master bath with shower. The guest bedroom is twin equipped and has an HDTV with DVD. The living room provides a very comfortable Natuzzi Italian leather queen-size sleeper sofa, The new hallway bath services the guest room and living room guests.

The kitchen is new and fully equipped with ice-making refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, Cuisinart drip coffee and Keurig machines, and all utensils. The adjacent open dining area has a table for 4 and stools at the kitchen bar for 2 more. A Weber gas grill is outside the kitchen and pool area, with a spare propane tank always available for heavy use. A new washer and dryer are provided in the adjacent laundry room.

Included is a handy beach cart to haul all the beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler, beach toys, and beach towels to the beach

The grounds are covered with many varieties of tropical flowering plants (though replanted and recovering from the storm), the beach is a short 2-4 -minute walk and the docks of the bay are even closer. Captiva's charming village center is a 5-minute walk from the house.

Personally maintained by the owners, this home is one of the very few Captiva rental houses not managed by a management company. We personally supervise and assist our cleaning staff each Saturday. As the last to walk out the door prior to your arrival, we can assure you the Mermaid Home is one of the best-prepared homes on Captiva, both inside and outside. Though we give the personal attention of a private host, we perform as professionals.

Owner/Manager

Mermaid Cottage was perfect for our beach vacation in Captiva. Larry communicated very well what to expect, logistics, etc. The cottage was clean and inviting and ideal location. The pool was an added bonus. Everything was great… only thing that would have made it better was if we could have stayed longer. 😁

This year was our first time staying at the Mermaid Beach House, but it won't be our last. We loved this cottage, located in the heart of Captiva. This house was the perfect size for a family of five with three small children. We spent our day at the beach in the morning and afternoon, just a short walk down the road and to the right. In the afternoon, we had lunch and spent our time swimming. The owners are friendly and live nearby should an emergency or need arise - they are very friendly! We are counting down the days till our next trip!

While small in size, the Mermaid House was huge in enjoyment! Great location, bed was so comfy, place was immaculate, pool refreshing and clean, and the shed stocked with everything we needed poolside or at the beach. Short walk and we were at the beach every morning and evening.

We had a lovely time despite weather conditions! Even with wind, rain, and cool temperatures we managed to walk, shell, and swim. The house had all the 'things' we needed - beach towels, great music selection, sharp knives, laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, trash bags. It was perfect for the four of us!

Our family had a great stay at the Mermaid House over New Years! We visit Captiva annually and this was our first time back since hurricane Ian. The house, pool and grounds are in great shape and are just as depicted in the photos. It is a quick, easy walk over to the beach and the shed is filled with everything you will need for a perfect beach day. Larry was a great host. He went above and beyond by bringing us an item that was missing and communicated about a brief Wifi outage, even before we knew it wasn't working. We highly recommend this cozy Captiva home!
