Yes. Provided you hold a full, valid U.S. License, you can legally drive on Mersea Island. While you mightn't require an International Driving Permit, it's worth having one as an additional form of identification. You'll need to arrange it before making your way to the island.

Having a thorough understanding of the terms and conditions will help avoid any delays and misunderstandings at the rental counter.
