Sprawling Bayfront Estate in Heart of Islamorada with Deep Dockage, Heated Pool, Kayaks and More!

Welcome to Mermaid's Bay Boutique Estate, an extraordinary bay-front retreat located in the heart of Islamorada. Set behind a private gate and spanning more than 3.5 acres of lush tropical landscape, this secluded estate offers a rare blend of privacy, history, and natural beauty, with over 300 feet of waterfront and sweeping views of the Florida Bay.

Originally built in the 1940s and lovingly preserved, Mermaid's Bay is a hidden gem in the Keys. The estate includes three thoughtfully appointed homes, offering a total of eight bedrooms across the property. Each home is designed to provide its own sense of space and serenity, while still feeling connected to the overall estate.

The spacious main house features four bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom, and is ideal for gathering and entertaining. Two additional cottages, each with two bedrooms and one bathroom, offer charming, private accommodations for couples or smaller families. All three homes include private porches, individual yards, dedicated parking, and well-equipped kitchens, making it easy to settle in and feel at home. Details like outdoor grills, soft linens, and complimentary toiletries are provided to make your stay as seamless as it is comfortable.

Beyond the homes, the estate features a resort-style pool and spa, a private beach with hammocks and lounge chairs, a large protected boat basin, a small boat ramp and an array of amenities including kayaks, paddle-boards, and bikes. Whether you're soaking in the sunset from the shoreline or heading out for a day on the water, Mermaid's Bay offers the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable stay in the Florida Keys.

Rentals are from Friday to Friday. Differing dates may be approved on a case-by-case basis.

The estate can be rented as a whole or as individual units. Please contact us for more information.

Another Amazing Stay at Mermaid's

This is my family & friend's 4th year at Mermaid's Bay, and it's better than ever! We love this place. It's perfectly maintained and cared for by people who truly care. We have been staying in the keys every summer for more than 25 years and have had all kinds of memorable experiences, but none like the ones here. It looks as good or better in person and has everything anyone could want. Working with Jocelyn and her team at Solace is always a pleasure. She makes everything so easy and somehow manages to make everyone in our large group feel extra special. Highly recommend!
