Charming cottage on the Florida Bay in the heart of Islamorada with pool, dockage, beach + more

The Bay View Cottage is one of three private homes located at Mermaid's Bay Boutique Estate. Located in the heart of Islamorada, just moments away from top attractions and restaurants, this secluded estate is situated directly on the bay. Secured by a gated entrance, the property sprawls over 3.5 meticulously maintained acres, with over 300 feet of bay frontage, protected dockage, and a resort-style pool and hot tub.

Nestled within one captivating property, our collection of vacation rentals at Mermaid's Bay includes three individual homes, each with their own allure and privacy. The homes may be rented individually or collectively and are available for weekly or longer rentals. (Note: This listing is for booking JUST the Bay View Cottage.)

The original Florida Keys charm has been preserved and tastefully updated throughout this romantic 2/1 '60s era cottage. Two sets of French doors off the open-concept living and dining area offer open-water views of the bay and lead out to a wrap-around porch that is shaded throughout the day by large trees. The cottage sleeps six with a king bed in the master bedroom and two queen beds in the second bedroom. A full bathroom with a shower and tub is located off the hallway.

Shared on the property is a resort-style pool and hot tub, cabana bathroom with private outdoor showers, sandy beach area, shaded tiki hut, water-front fire pit and a large boat basin. Easily access both the bay and ocean from our convenient location to enjoy every type of fishing the "Sport Fishing Capitol of the World" has to offer. Bikes, kayaks, paddle boards, hammocks, beach chairs, umbrellas and more are provided for your enjoyment. A small boat ramp is located on the property.

The cottage has a fully stocked kitchen, personal safe, linens including beach towels, a filtered water dispenser and a grill with complimentary propane. Complimentary paper towels, toilet paper, coffee and toiletries are provided to help you start your vacation.
