About this property
Luxury Cape Coral Retreat Pool, Hot Tub, Beautiful Outdoor Oasis & Pet Friendly
Escape to the serene haven of Mermaid Tales, a stunning new residence in Cape Coral that blends comfort, style, and a touch of luxury. This three-bedroom, two-bath house is an ideal getaway for families or groups of friends who dream of relaxing in a beautifully appointed space. From the moment guests step through the door, they are greeted with an impressive “wow” factor. The home boasts a great-room floor plan that offers a seamless flow from the indoor living area to a spacious covered porch, complete with a heated pool and a hot tub, perfect for unwinding under the Florida sun.
The interior of Mermaid Tales is both bright and immaculate, reflecting a thoughtful design that maximizes both light and space. The master bedroom is a true retreat, featuring a king-size bed, a personal TV, and sliding doors that open directly onto the pool area. The ensuite bathroom is equally luxurious, with a large walk-in shower and a separate toilet area for added privacy. The additional two bedrooms are furnished with cozy queen beds and are situated conveniently close to a well-appointed hall bathroom.
The heart of the home lies in its open-concept kitchen and living area. The kitchen is a chef’s delight, equipped with modern appliances, a large island, and ample counter space for entertaining. Guests can enjoy their meals at the chic dining table or at the breakfast bar, which offers additional seating. The living area, centered around a multi-functional TV stand and fireplace, features comfortable seating that includes a pullout sofa bed, making it a perfect spot for movie nights or casual gatherings.
Outside, the entertainment options continue with a beautifully designed pool area that invites guests to relax and enjoy leisurely days. With seating for six at the outdoor table, additional lounge chairs, and an outdoor TV, it’s a fantastic spot for both relaxation and entertainment. The pool, maintained at a warm 85° from November through April, and the year-round hot tub ensure that every moment spent outdoors is enjoyable.
For those keen to explore the area, Mermaid Tales offers a great starting point. The home is situated close to Matlacha, known for its colorful art galleries and seafood eateries, and Burnt Store Marina, where visitors can indulge in boating and fishing. Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Coral Oaks Golf Course. The neighborhood itself is quiet and off the beaten path, yet close enough to local attractions to make it easy for guests to explore the best of Cape Coral. Whether it's lounging by the pool, exploring local sites, or simply enjoying the comfort of this exquisite home, a stay at Mermaid Tales promises a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.

Our family had a wonderful vacation at this amazing home! The pool and lanai were our favorite part and just as pictured. We would definitely recommend this home and Dorian as a host. She was quick to respond to any questions we had. The house was well stocked and very clean. We look forward to returning in the future!

Thank you Michele, you and your family were the perfect guests. We would love to have you back any time!!!
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Mermaid Tales. The house was clean, spacious and included everything we needed. The property manager was a pleasure to work with and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. We specifically wanted a location close to spring training parks but not in a crowded community and this property did just that. We liked it so much we booked it for 2024.

Thank you Georgeanne, you were an absolute pleasure!! So glad you booked with us for next year!!
Lovely decor & comfortable furnishings! The pool & hot tub are amazing! Brand new, super clean & wonderful to relax. The owners could not have been more communicative & were incredibly responsive both before & during our visit. They even had a welcome bottle of wine ready when we arrived! We also loved all of the cute & fun tableware, glasses & mermaid tchotchkes spread through the house! A delightful holiday & we plan to return!

I tried to write a review but it only let me rate by the stars. Tracy and her husband were an absolute pleasure. They took wonderful care of our house. Would gladly host again!!
The host, Dorian, replied to any questions I had within minutes. The home and pool area were very clean. Kitchen is stocked with everything you need to make breakfast/lunch and even a grill. Close to Cape Coral and Punta Gorda for exploring. Sunset at Hurricane Charley’s was spectacular. Dinner at Wyvern Hotel rooftop overlooking downtown Punta Gorda at night was fun. The weather was perfect (sunny, mid 80’s).

Thank you Kathy, we are glad you enjoyed your stay. Amazing guest welcome back anytime!!
We had a great experience with this property. Doree was a great communicator and host. Pool and spa were fantastic. Home was very clean and well supplied. A little out of the way, but much less traffic than in south Cape Coral. There is construction in the area as this is a developing neighborhood. Nothing that impacted our stay.

Thank you so much Karen!! You and your husband were a pleasure to host. Hope to see you again!!!
This was the perfect getaway for a week long stay! Dorian is an excellent communicator.The house is absolutely perfect! The decor fits the Mermaid Tales theme. Bed is comfortable, kitchen is fully stocked and the lanai is a dream! The pool and spa were so appreciated coming from the North in January. The neighborhood provides for easy walking to get your steps in and to get tips from very friendly neighbors.We saw manatees very early in the morning at Sirenia Vista, which is a close drive. We went to a farmers market in a plaza nearby and bought some delicious fresh fruit. We discovered a store at the end of our trip called Farmer Joe's. Next time we visit, we will get groceries and prepared foods there. They have a great selection and offer samples.This home is amazing! We highly recommend it and plan to return!
We selected this property for the outdoor area and the pool / hot tub. It did not disappoint! The pool is amazing, perfect for swimming laps and plenty of space for the kiddos. The hot tub is huge and so relaxing. The outdoor space is set up perfect, spacious and comfy. We loved the extras too ( pool floats, beach chairs, coolers, fishing gear, workout mats, etc. definitely a nice touch).
The kitchen is perfect for cooking, loaded with most anything you need. We loved the Blackstone grill too, ( probably going to have buy one for home now, lol).
Finally, the walk in shower….amazing! I would have never left the shower if the outdoor area wasn’t so awesome! 😂
Will most certainly stay here again if we are back in the area. Our week was perfect!
Also, communication with the host was outstanding!
