Should I buy IL if I hate supernatural stuff?
I absolutely hate supernatural stuff in the sims, which is why I never bought the vampire pack. I do like some of the objects that come with Island Living, though. So, my question is: would I be able ...

While BB, CAS, and the world are gorgeous, there is not a lot to do game-play wise in this pack, especially as you do not like mermaids.
Like the others have said, they are pretty unintrusive, though I did see a couple of them swimming around when I played as a mermaid, and the ones that came to help me control the fire in my lot, while human, had noticeable supernatural features such as sharp teeth, blue hair, and pale skin. I also could not find them in the menu to edit them.
In your case, if you can, I would recommend waiting for a sale, or at least bundling it. Not knowing what expansions you have, I would recommend city living, seasons and cats and dogs over this one, and get famous to a certain extent. If you are primarily a builder or cas player, you will find some enjoyment, however, if you want gameplay, most of this stuff (swimming, fishing, lounge chairs) you can do in basegame already, and I don't think it will be worth it for you, as more work went into the mermaids than the other activities. But, each to their own. If you decide to get it, I hope you enjoy :).
