This was our third stay at the Mermaid House. The property is well-maintained; it is clean and perfect for a quiet beach vacation. The pool is beautiful and clean. We will be back!

Great vacation!

We enjoyed our stay. The location was great for walking to restaurants and to the beach. It was very comfortable for my husband, myself and our two girls who loved all the mermaid stuff. Pool was fun!

Charming Beach Cottage

We loved our stay at the Mermaid house. There was plenty of room for our family of three, both inside and out. We loved being able to walk to the beach whenever we wanted to, or to walk to the many restaurants in town. We are looking forward to staying there again.

Charming house with a great pool and excellent location

This house was perfect for our family of 5. Great location (2 block walk to the beach down quiet streets) and a personal pool heated to the perfect temp! Larry was response to any questions we had and I’d recommend this property to anyone.

This family with 3 children left the house in perfect condition and made for easy preparation for our incoming guests. I do hope to have them return in the future at either this house or my larger Sun & Moon House, as they may have a larger family group on the next visit.

A little gem in paradise

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.

Terrific family getaway

We had such a lovely time in the beautiful Mermaid house. Larry is a very gracious host and we felt very welcomed. We enjoyed the pool so much and the few minutes walk to the fantastic beach makes this house a dream location. Our family of six (4 kids plus parents) loved every minute of our stay. It was a very relaxing week and we would love to stay again. Thank you so much Larry!

Mermaid house in January

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!

100% accurate

If this property sounds and looks like what you are looking for, stop the search. Perfectly represented in pics and descrirption , the bonus was enjoying Captiva w/o it being overcrowded. Owner is responsive, spotlessly clean, great location to town and beach.

Still the perfect place!

We stayed at the Mermaid House many years ago and were so glad to be able to come back this year. Everything has been kept up beautifully. The simplicity of the house with just the right amount of amenities (including plenty of fresh towels, the right amount of kitchen utensils, the comfortable beds, the nice sound system, etc) and the lovely clean very private pool provided a tremendously good place for rest and fun. The location is perfect and the host was wonderfully responsive. Can't wait to come back - thank you!

It is always great to get good reviews recognizing our property and our work in personally preparing the Mermaid House, as well as our Sun & Moon House. Like most all of our guests, they left it in such good condition that it was easy for us to prepare for the incoming guests just 4 hours later. After returning from Captiva this afternoon, we received an e-mail request from Helen to return next year.

Amazing

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. 😁

Perfect

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.

The Perfect Retreat

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!

Beautiful Home

This is a very updated home with new appliances, furniture and just about everything you could possibly need! Our favorite thing was the pool right outside the living room door. We made use of the wagon to get to the beach. I did read in another post about the beach being a 2 minute walk, using the two paths you could try neither was that quick. We stayed for 2 weeks and loved it!!! Would definitely recommend!

Amazing trip!

We have been visiting Sanibel & Captiva Island for many years & love it. This was by far the best trip yet! We have twin 5 year old daughters & a 6 year old son~ the set up was absolutly perfect for swimming kids! Our kids were able to wake up early & get to swimming (usually by 8am!). We walked a short 4 min to the beach during the afternoon for some beach time, then back to the pool. It is in great walking distance to the "city" of Captiva. Many resturaunts, coffee places, shops, & ice cream just blocks away! We had an AMAZING trip~ cannot wait to go back!
Response from VrboOwner on 25 Mar 2020
We're pleased our Mermaid Home helped provide Katie's family their "best trip yet". Perhaps it is the preservation of a classic Captiva cottage style house, the amenities and preparation we provide, or just the continued lure of Captiva as a tropical, Carribbean style island that makes all this come together.
