Mermaid Tales "Create Your Own Story"
Escape to the serene haven of Mermaid Tales, a stunning new residence in Cape Coral that blends comfort, style, and a touch of luxury. This three-bedroom, two-bath house is an ideal getaway for families or groups of friends who dream of relaxing in a beautifully appointed space. From the moment guests step through the door, they are greeted with an impressive “wow” factor. The home boasts a great-room floor plan that offers a seamless flow from the indoor living area to a spacious covered porch, complete with a heated saltwater pool and a hot tub, perfect for unwinding under the Florida sun.
The interior of Mermaid Tales is both bright and immaculate, reflecting a thoughtful design that maximizes both light and space. The master bedroom is a true retreat, featuring a king-size bed, a personal TV, and sliding doors that open directly onto the pool area. The ensuite bathroom is equally luxurious, with a large walk-in shower and a separate toilet area for added privacy. The additional two bedrooms are furnished with cozy queen beds and are situated conveniently close to a well-appointed hall bathroom.
The heart of the home lies in its open-concept kitchen and living area. The kitchen is a chef’s delight, equipped with modern appliances, a large island, and ample counter space for entertaining. Guests can enjoy their meals at the chic dining table or at the breakfast bar, which offers additional seating. The living area, centered around a multi-functional TV stand and fireplace, features comfortable seating that includes a pullout sofa bed, making it a perfect spot for movie nights or casual gatherings.
Outside, the entertainment options continue with a beautifully designed pool area that invites guests to relax and enjoy leisurely days. With seating for six at the outdoor table, additional lounge chairs, and an outdoor TV, it’s a fantastic spot for both relaxation and entertainment. The pool, maintained at a warm 85° from November through April, and the year-round hot tub ensure that every moment spent outdoors is enjoyable.
For those keen to explore the area, Mermaid Tales offers a great starting point. The home is situated close to Matlacha, known for its colorful art galleries and seafood eateries, and Burnt Store Marina, where visitors can indulge in boating and fishing. Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Coral Oaks Golf Course. The neighborhood itself is quiet and off the beaten path, yet close enough to local attractions to make it easy for guests to explore the best of Cape Coral. Whether it's lounging by the pool, exploring local sites, or simply enjoying the comfort of this exquisite home, a stay at Mermaid Tales promises a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.

Felt like a resort
We selected this property for the outdoor area and the pool / hot tub. It did not disappoint! The pool is amazing, perfect for swimming laps and plenty of space for the kiddos. The hot tub is huge and so relaxing. The outdoor space is set up perfect, spacious and comfy. We loved the extras too ( pool floats, beach chairs, coolers, fishing gear, workout mats, etc. definitely a nice touch).
The kitchen is perfect for cooking, loaded with most anything you need. We loved the Blackstone grill too, ( probably going to have buy one for home now, lol).
Finally, the walk in shower….amazing! I would have never left the shower if the outdoor area wasn’t so awesome! 😂
Will most certainly stay here again if we are back in the area. Our week was perfect!
Also, communication with the host was outstanding!
This was a very nice and clean property just like it was described.

The perfect getaway
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Mermaid Tales. The house was clean, spacious and included everything we needed. The property manager was a pleasure to work with and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. We specifically wanted a location close to spring training parks but not in a crowded community and this property did just that. We liked it so much we booked it for 2024.

Relaxing home close to Cape Coral and Punta Gorda
The host, Dorian, replied to any questions I had within minutes. The home and pool area were very clean. Kitchen is stocked with everything you need to make breakfast/lunch and even a grill. Close to Cape Coral and Punta Gorda for exploring. Sunset at Hurricane Charley’s was spectacular. Dinner at Wyvern Hotel rooftop overlooking downtown Punta Gorda at night was fun. The weather was perfect (sunny, mid 80’s).

Super Clean and Comfortable
We had a great experience with this property. Doree was a great communicator and host. Pool and spa were fantastic. Home was very clean and well supplied. A little out of the way, but much less traffic than in south Cape Coral. There is construction in the area as this is a developing neighborhood. Nothing that impacted our stay.

Lovely decor & comfortable furnishings! The pool & hot tub are amazing! Brand new, super clean & wonderful to relax. The owners could not have been more communicative & were incredibly responsive both before & during our visit. They even had a welcome bottle of wine ready when we arrived! We also loved all of the cute & fun tableware, glasses & mermaid tchotchkes spread through the house! A delightful holiday & we plan to return!
