About this cottage rental

Welcome to the Garden View Cottage at Mermaid's Bay Boutique Estate, a serene hideaway located in the heart of Islamorada, just moments from top attractions and restaurants. This secluded estate offers a tranquil escape directly on the bay, featuring 3.5 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds with over 300 feet of bay frontage, protected dockage, and access to a resort-style pool and hot tub.

This charming cottage has been thoughtfully updated while preserving its original Florida Keys character. Screened-in porches shaded by lush tropical landscaping welcome you at both entrances. Inside, the cozy 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage comfortably sleeps six, featuring a king bed in the master bedroom and two queen beds in the second bedroom. The bathroom, complete with a shower and tub, is located between the two bedrooms.

During your stay, enjoy access to a range of amenities that make this estate feel like a private retreat: a resort-style pool and hot tub, sandy beach area, tiki hut, water-front fire pit, and a spacious boat basin. Whether you’re here to fish, explore the bay, or simply relax, you'll have everything you need, including bikes, kayaks, paddleboards, beach chairs, and more. There’s also a small boat ramp for your convenience.

The Garden View Cottage is equipped with a fully stocked kitchen, linens (including beach towels), a filtered water dispenser, and a grill with complimentary propane. To make your stay effortless, we provide paper towels, toilet paper, coffee, and toiletries to get you started on your vacation.

Rentals are from Friday to Friday, with the possibility of flexible dates upon request. Please note that this is a shared property with two other units, each with their own privacy.

Great private location close to all the fun stuff

This is a cute cottage tucked away on gorgeous grounds. Close to the pool and an amazing view of the sunset. We had some windy days and the pool, which has a gorgeous view of the water, was protected and warm. Tony was responsive and helpful. He provided everything from beach towels to fire wood to have a waterfront fire.

The Perfect Hideout!!

The Perfect Hideout!!

It’s even BETTER than advertised! We feel So Fortunate to have found Tony’s Place! It is Spotless, Very Private, Peaceful, Plenty of room to move around without running over somebody, On the Water, close to EVERYTHING, Foliage is Beautiful, Heated Pool, Spa and Waterfalls ( especially at night with the Lights) is to Die for. The Cottages and House have been Beautifully Restored and just Complete the Whole WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE of staying there!! And I’m not done, yet! Then there’s TONY! He’s the MAN!! He gets all the CREDIT for doing what it takes to get this Whole Operation up and running! He is EXTREMELY EASY to work with and he will ENSURE YOU that your stay will be what YOU WANT! One last thing. The Keys, the Highway with ALL the traffic, can be a Very Busy place, but, when you Open, Drive thru and the Gate close’s, its all left behind and You’re HOME!! I hope you can GO and ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE! We’ll SEA you there next January and February 🏖🐬🌺👍🍹😎‼️

Best vacation ever

Best vacation ever

It was an amazing property with gorgeous secluded beach front. We were able to use their boat launch and dock for ultra convenient fishing. The pool/ hot tub was incredible maintained daily and even the beautiful sand roads groomed. The owner was beyond kind and responsive. And this property was walking distance to restaurants like pizza and 5 minute drive to nicer restaurants. It was sparkling clean to the point I thought the oven had never been used. You can relax watching a sunset with your private fire (wood provided) or enjoy the canopy of beautiful trees and blooming hedges. We are planning on being back soon and we are from Washington State so not near for us. You will love it!

How cute is this? * Perfect Abode for our 10 days *

We rented this entire property out for 10 days over 4th of July 2021. - What a great place - property was recently new to the vacation home market. They offer it as a 3 +/- acre property with 3 separate homes - all comfortable and complete with fabulous amenities . This Lime Green home has 2 separate private screened porches and 2 bedrooms with spacious common areas. The home was immaculate on arrival and smelled fresh upon entering every time during our entire visit. The pool is a resort style pool that is shared with all 3 rental houses - but has plenty of room for everyone, without feeling crowded. You can rent the homes together for a family reunion as we did, or you can occupy only one home for your stay. Plenty of space to spread out on the well maintained grounds and have privacy when needed. We brought our 23' pontoon boat with us and the dock space offered was perfect for our needs. This is a family run property and I will say they know how to make a guest feel welcome and very special. Communication was quick, and Tony was extremely accommodating for our needs. He went above and beyond to please us all. It was a fabulous vacation for the 15 of us - we made some great memories! We will definitely be back.

Great place

Great place

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property was secluded and we appreciated all that it had to offer. We swam in the pool, had a campfire, played in the ocean, and fished right off the dock. The house was cozy, had everything we needed, and the beds were comfortable. Tony and April responded very quickly when we contacted them and were extremely friendly. We are looking forward to returning in the future.
