The Bay View Cottage is a charming two-bedroom, one-bath home tucked beneath the shade of mature trees along the bayfront at Mermaid's Bay Boutique Estate—a private 3.5-acre waterfront retreat in the heart of downtown Islamorada. With peaceful views of the Florida Bay and a shaded front porch that stays cool throughout the day, this cozy cottage is ideal for couples or small families seeking a laid-back island escape.
Inside, the home is filled with warmth and character, blending vintage touches with simple comforts. The layout includes two bedrooms—one with a king bed and the other with two queen beds—plus a shared bathroom. The open living area connects to a thoughtfully stocked kitchen and dining space, with French doors that let in soft natural light and frame views of the bay.
Just outside, the large front porch features a cushioned outdoor sofa and casual seating, perfect for relaxing any time of day while soaking in the sights and sounds of the water just steps away.
As part of Mermaid's Bay Boutique Estate, guests of the Bay View Cottage enjoy access to shared, resort-style amenities including a heated pool and spa, a private sandy beach with hammocks and lounge chairs, a large protected boat basin with a small boat ramp, and complimentary kayaks, paddle boards, and bikes. Each home on the estate has its own private porch, grill, and designated parking.
Additional in-home amenities include a washer and dryer, filtered water dispenser, and thoughtfully provided starter supplies such as paper goods, toiletries, and coffee essentials—everything you need to settle in comfortably and enjoy your stay.
Tucked away just off the main road yet within walking distance of Islamorada's best restaurants, shops, breweries, and marinas, the Bay View Cottage offers the perfect balance of privacy, charm, and access to everything the Keys have to offer.
