The property is in a great location and the description provided is very accurate and you can see the beach from most of the rooms. The host was very communicative and responsive. The only con about the property is limited parking but we were able to figure it out without issue. I highly recommend this property for your next stay on Sanibel!!!

My family has gone to Sanibel for over 40 years. After Ian, we've had to try different condos to stay at. This is just about the nicest one I've rented at the price point.Ed is very communicative and clearly has a lot of love and pride for his place. The beach view/access is immaculate, and the central location is ideal for reaching the various places on the island you'd want to visit (you can bike to Jerry's supermarket in about 10 minutes).The layout is great with the bedrooms on the main floor. The second floor loft with the twin bed is really unique and special, if you have an older kid they'll love making it their space. (Kids closer in age might fight over it.) The loft also has an office space with a spectacular view.Some minor things to be aware of:* The bathrooms are lovely but only have showers, no tubs.* The dishwasher is finicky to close. Ed explains it in his message, but it's tricky the first time. You really need to slam it shut. If you start it and see a "3, 2, 1" countdown then it's not closed properly.* The pool is very nice while a bit small; no hot tub/spa.* The internet is kind of spotty, which is typical for the island; good enough for streaming apps though. The TVs are nice and modern with all the apps.* There's no dresser/closet in the loft, just a small end table drawer.* Parking is a bit tight, and there aren't many guest spots (Ed will horsetrade with other owners if he can).Overall we were extremely pleased with our stay!

Perfect Getaway

We were very pleased with our stay! My family had a condo on the island but it was sold so we had to rent a condo for this year's visit. The condo was very clean (even the couch had been vacuumed very well). There were beach chairs, beach towels, an umbrella, and some shelling tools all available for use which was wonderful. The view is spectacular!! We were very pleased and would definitely stay at this property again.

The Mermaid House was absolutely beautiful! Beautiful views. Right on the beach. Clean. The house had everything we could have possibly needed. Good location. The only complaint I have is that we did text the property owner at the number he provided, and he never did get back with us. On the description of this condo, it said parties and events welcome. However, you only get 1 parking space. I do wish he had responded, but I'm not going to lower the overall rating for that because everything else was better than we could have imagined. We had a great time at the Mermaid House and will absolutely return in the future!

Great week on Sanibel Island!

We enjoyed our weeklong December stay at Ed's condo. Ed was easy to communicate with before and during our stay. The condo was as advertised in the pictures with beautiful views. It was very clean and was the perfect location for a relaxing couple's getaway on Sanibel Island. We certainly would consider booking the condo again for any future Ft. Myers/Sanibel Island trip(s).

Already booked for next year

The view of the ocean from the master bedroom and deck was priceless, as well as the 30 second walk to the beach. The loft area was fought over by our kids, ages 12,10 and 10. There was a spacious daybed and desk area in the loft. The master bedroom was perfect with a king size sleep number bed. The second bedroom had two twin beds and was so cute! The family room is smallish but it worked fine! The pool was also just a few steps away and was a nice break from the beach. We had no issues during our stay where we needed Ed’s help, but he was available both over phone and text. Ir was perfect for our family, and I got teary eyed when we left. We can’t wait to return next year!

The Mermaid House

Our stay at The Mermaid House was all we hoped it would be. The views were AMAZING! The beach is literally steps away. The condo had ALL of the necessities for the beach, such as chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, beach towels, etc. There were cleaning supplies, cooking supplies, toiletries and many other comforts of home. The owner, Ed, was easy to work with even though we had no issues that needed addressed. He had a new washer and dryer delivered while we were there so you can add that to the list of the amenities! We had a great time and our week FLEW by! We definitely recommended renting this condo to anyone that is looking to rent a beautiful place in beautiful Sanibel, FL. **You have to eat at Cheeburger Cheeburger and The Island Cow. We loved them so much we ate at them both twice! Thank you for sharing The Mermaid House with us!
