Though we had to cancel many reservations after the October 9th hurricane, we have opened for guests starting Feb 1, 2025. And of course, we made a few updates during the 4 month recovery time. 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. Larry Hahn Owner/Manager 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. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach towels - Beach umbrellas ### Pool/Spa - Heated pool - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Espresso maker - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - HDTV with cable/satellite channels - Music library - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Garden - Gas grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washer/dryer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Wheelchair accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In a village - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Heated pool - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,400 square feet ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/22000000/21400000/21398200/21398169/d4f662e2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Captiva Sun & Moon Pool House - Beach Side of Village Center Captiva - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 117 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-28&endDate=2025-10-29&selected=21398169&PinnedHotelID=21398169&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach, beach umbrellas](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/60000000/59580000/59570200/59570109/8a687e82.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Captiva Charm - Gulf front Olde Captiva style cottage Captiva - Ocean view - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 10 Exceptional 33 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-28&endDate=2025-10-29&selected=59570109&PinnedHotelID=59570109&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/113000000/113000000/112999946/05d223c6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Perfect Beachfront Retreat Captiva Island - Sleeps 8 Captiva - Ocean view - Pool - Kitchen - Washer 6.0 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-28&endDate=2025-10-29&selected=112999946&PinnedHotelID=112999946&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby, sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76760000/76751100/76751057/7f1da6cb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Welcome to Paradise! 2025 Renovated beach bungalow in the heart of Captiva!
