Best experience
Had the best time at mermaid cottage in Marco!!! Becky made sure all our needs were met. We will definitely be back!
Christine M.
Perfectly Situated & Comfy
Mermaid’s Cottage is beautifully decorated, has all the amenities, and is located .41 miles from front door to shore. The walk is incredibly easy. The pool is warm, the beds are super cozy, and the house has absolutely everything you need. Feeding the fish will be your favorite part of your day. The aquarium is so incredible! I loved the fish! Marco Island is a quiet, pleasant island with tons of walking and shelling opportunities. This house is on a quiet street and your vacation will be zen if you choose it! Enjoy!

The perfect Marco Island Getaway home!
We loved returning to Becky's Beach home. EVERYTHING is thought of for you to enjoy your time to the fullest. Imagine the best relative inviting you to their awesome home and there you have it. The pool was heated for us and the salt water fish tank provided more entertaining than anything on TV. Can't wait until next time
Terry M.
Perfect beach get away
First let me say how wonderful Becky was to work with! Such a pleasure. The house has such character and is in a perfect location with short walk to beach. It is so well stocked, that it felt like our own home. The bikes, chairs, umbrella and coolers were well used. The coffee fixings were appreciated. And our 11 year old loved the fish tank.

Fun, fam trip
Ideal location with great access to beach, and the bikes were good to have for just a bike ride or to run get a coffee or to shop a bit.

Amazing House, location and host!
Becky was an amazing host! She made the check in process so easy and followed up throughout the week to see if we needed anything. The house was stocked with a ton of extras. It was clean, well organized, and the layout was perfect! The beach is only a short walk away. The neighborhood is super safe and quiet. Highly recommend this rental!

This property is a beautiful home located on Marco Island
This property is a beautiful home located on Marco Island. The house had some bikes for us to use and our commute to the beach was 2 mins! House came fully stocked with everything you can think of! Close to many restaurants! The only thing I can say negative (which actually wasn't an issue for us but if I had brought my children it would have been...) you have to be super quiet after 9pm due to the neighbors. If I was on vacation, my kids would have been in the pool playing and probably loud. So just an FYI for people with kids. Other than that, this house was amazing.
