About this house rental
Experience the laid-back, easy Captiva Island lifestyle with this classic 2 bedroom, 2 full bath cottage style house 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 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 cozy house is as well updated and perhaps better equipped than a new luxury home.
Included is a 43' Smart 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" Smart 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 a New S/S ice-making refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, Cuisinart drip coffee maker, Keurig, 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. New washer and dryer provided in the adjacent laundry room.
Included is a handy beach cart with soft sand tires 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 of the Green Flash Restaurant 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.

Please Note: We accept only Saturday-to-Saturday reservations, as is the standard on Captiva Island. We accept reservations no further than a year in advance, as current guests have the first option to reserve the same week the following year. If the guests do not re-book on their departure day, a new reservation request may be accepted.
We also personally own and manage our larger Sun & Moon House, VRBO 202852, a Key West-style multi-level home. You may be assured of a perfectly prepared house, both inside and out, as we're the last to leave the house before you arrive.
Make your reservation today before your desired week is taken.

House stocked with all that you need for cooking, cleaning, pool and beach. Loved that its is one of the only few ranch homes on Captiva and has a large porch, pool and yard that get sun. Close to everything

The host was very welcoming and readily available. He cares about his guests and makes sure they enjoy their visit. He’s very hands on about maintaining the property.

We stayed at Mermaid house with another couple and had a wonderful time. The location was perfect…a short walk to the beach and to restaurants and a small grocery store. The home is beautifully but simply decorated. Our bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The salt water pool was pristine. We would stay here again. It would be nice if the 2nd bedroom had a king size bed for a 2nd couple. But that’s the only thing I would change.

We seem to always come back to Mermaid House because it works so well for my wife and me. Great location, immaculate, responsive and friendly owner, private pool and grounds. We look forward to our next visit.
