Escape to island life on Marco Island, where time slows down and nature takes center stage. This spacious 6-bedroom, 5-bath waterfront home is perfect for families or groups looking to relax, reconnect, and enjoy everything Southwest Florida has to offer—right from your backyard.

Why You’ll Love This Home
✔ 100 feet of private waterfront with dock
Fish, kayak, paddleboard—or just sip your favorite drink and watch the tide roll in. The floating dock is perfect for launching provided kayaks or paddleboard. (Boat lift is not available for guest use; trailer parking not permitted in garage.)

✔ Incredible sunset views from the lanai
Relax between two guest rooms in our favorite shaded outdoor nook. Watch birds glide by in the morning and enjoy vivid, picture-perfect sunsets in the evening.

✔ Walk to restaurants & Tigertail Beach
You're just ½ mile from some of the island’s most-loved restaurants and 12 minutes on foot to the entrance of Tigertail Beach Park. Explore the lagoon, observe local wildlife, or make your way to the pristine Gulf beach by foot or wading.

✔ Large heated pool with southern exposure
Whether you're cooling off after a beach day or enjoying a quiet evening swim, the oversized pool has space for everyone—up to 12 guests—with warm water thanks to full-day sun.

✔ Fully stocked kitchen + two dining areas
Whip up meals in the granite kitchen with a five-burner stove, electric oven, and plenty of prep space. Share meals and memories around one of two large dining tables.

✔ Comfortable spaces for relaxing
Watch a movie on plush leather furniture, play games, or simply unwind. With six bedrooms—including a unique two-bedroom suite—there’s plenty of space for everyone to sleep and recharge.

Great Week Long Stay on Marco Island

Ideal location on the northern region of the island. Easy walking, biking and driving to explore the island amenities. Very few free public parking areas. No biking on the beach. Felt safe. Easy hour drive from Fort Myers airport. Heated pool, large lanai and every toy you would need stored in the garage and boat dock.

Super fun and comfortable!

The house exceeded our expectations! The location was perfect, and the house had so many fun activities ….pool floats, kayaks, sand toys, fishing rods, bikes, grill, etc. so much to do you never had to leave the house. Check in was easy and communication was top notch. We saw manatees and dolphins in the canal right outside the house!! The house was clean and well maintained but slightly dated. But that had zero impact on how much fun we had and everyone commented on how comfortable the beds were. The bathrooms were clean and had amazing showers and excellent water pressure. The AC worked great and there were plenty of fans for anyone who need an extra boost or cool air. The only thing to be aware of is the 5 and 6 bedroom are attached. Perfect for kids or families but not as much privacy as the other bedrooms. We would stay here again in a heart beat!! Don’t hesitate to book this one.

Great for large group

This property worked well for our group of 12. The screened in porch was beautiful and two of the bedrooms walk out to it. The other master walks out near the pool. One of the bedrooms is off of a different bedroom which is good to know if you have adult children coming with spouses. The owner was very responsive and helpful when it came to anything we needed.Overall the property was good for our seven kids, three spouses, and ourselves! We rented a golf cat from scootertown rental and it was great to have to buzz to the beach or the store for more groceries!

2 week family vacation

we had a great time at this home on Marco Island. The house was very well equipped with linens, towels, kitchen wares, everything our large group needed. its great location of Collier, close to grocery stores, close to the beach. we used golf carts to get around for the 2 weeks, and it was perfect. tons of seating in the lanai which made it great for our large group. the room setup was perfect for us to split families aross the space. the only draw back on the house was the small seating area around the pool. there were tons of bikes, beach toys, beach chairs etc, in the garage for us to use. we have already booked our stay for this same house again next year!

Family fun

The home was well equipped for outdoor activities(kayaks, paddleboards, life jackets, floating toys, beach toys, bicycles, beach towels, coolers)...a real plus! The living space was very functional and allowed for spreading out. Kitchen was well equipped and there was an extra refrigerator! The location was perfect for getting to store, going to beach, and putting the kayaks into the water. The heated pool was a real plus when the temperatures decreased. Overall, the home has much to offer and we would certainly recommend its use for other groups.

Things are more worn than in the photos. And the back bedroom & bathroom were very warm. Thank goodness for the box fans in each space. Thank you!

Marco Island Family Vacation

Our family had a great time in Marco Island. This house was perfect for our group. It was clean when we arrived. The house had plenty of amenities which included, cookware, 2 refrigerators (huge!!!!!) grill, coffee pots, kayaks and bikes. All appliances were modern (washer, dryer, dishwasher.) Very spacious which was important for a group of 12. We never felt crowded. Salt water pool was large enough for us as well. It is located in a quiet residential neighborhood which was perfect for a relaxing vacation. Grocery stores were less than 5 minutes away. Public beaches were a short drive away. I highly recommend this property for large groups and for families who need a relaxing vacation. I would definitely stay here again.

Fam reunion at Marco Island

We enjoyed staying at this property with my family. Plenty of space indoors and wonderful view of the outdoors. The amenities: kayaks, bikes and pool paraphernalia were a boon. The areas of dissatisfaction were: 1) the pool was not really clean (cloudy and can't see the bottom and in front of you as you swim so you'll bump your head as you swim) and2) indoor cleaning was not up to our standards. There were towels haphazardly left on one of the beds that made us think that they were not clean. Cleaning towel left (sl soiled) by the coffee machine. Sticky gooey white streak on the couch in the living room. Unfortunate adult activity wrapper left in one of the bedrooms. We had to strip the beds and wash the linens due to this incidents. The cleaners came back but the impression was that they were not thorough (we are in a pandemic). The property is located close to the entrance of the beach but you have to walk half a mile to the ocean. It was walking distance to the catholic church, cold stone creamery, winn dixie, eateries and the burrowing owls!!! We would visit again!

Fabulous Marco Island home with pool

This was the perfect place for my family of 10 with 3 generations. The house was lovely, wonderfully outfitted, with lots of indoor and outdoor spaces for us to spread out. We really appreciated the security measures so our little ones couldn't get out to the pool or out of the house without us. We also loved all the towels for our use, kayaks, beach equipment and fully equipped kitchen. During our stay we had a few questions for the management company and they were prompt, friendly, and accommodating. I would highly recommend this property for a group looking for a fantastic Marco Island experience.

Big house with great outdoor space

This house has plenty of room to spread out! Our favorite part of Marco is being outside. The screened in porch on this house is very large. The pool is definitely the biggest out of the houses we have rented there before. On the water which we love for fishing (we left 3 fishing poles in the garage) and having the kayaks right there was great! Rental company was extremely helpful and accessible with any questions.

Big house with awesome pool and lanai!

We had a great stay at this property. It had lots of space to spread out, well maintain pool and large lanai area to relax and enjoy the sun. Plenty of amenities and features - kayaks, bikes, floats, towels, pack n play, all the kitchen stuff you’d need etc. The only downside I can even think of is that noise in the house carries - so if you have young ones I would just bring a noise machine if the adults will be up late / early in the main living area. The property management were in touch throughout the week to make sure that we had everything we needed and to remind of us about the trash pick ups, pool service etc (which was helpful!). Can’t wait to come back again!

Meet Your Hosts

Hi! We’re longtime beach lovers who now call Marco Island home. Originally from Ohio, we’ve been married for 28 wonderful years and moved to Florida shortly after tying the knot. We raised three amazing kids—now proud (and one recently graduated!) University of Florida Gators—and are thrilled to be living in this little slice of paradise.

You can often find us taking long walks on the beach, exploring new destinations, or spending time in the kitchen—especially since I grew up in a family where cooking brought everyone together. My husband is also an avid fisherman with plenty of Marco Island fishing tales—some more believable than others!

While he works full-time, my husband is our go-to handyman and regularly checks on the property between guest stays. He also enjoys adding thoughtful touches and fun new upgrades to make our homes even more enjoyable.

We live just minutes away and take great pride in offering clean, welcoming spaces for our guests. Our wonderful local property manager is always available if you need anything during your stay, and we’re happy to answer questions anytime.

We hope you’ll feel right at home—and fall in love with Marco Island just like we did.

Why they chose this property

When we moved to Florida several years ago, we stayed in a friend’s rental on Marco Island—and instantly fell in love. The peaceful atmosphere, beautiful water views, and friendly island vibe won over our whole family. It didn’t take long before we knew we wanted a place of our own here.

In January 2020, we found the perfect fit: a spacious waterfront home with stunning views of Clam Bay. The quiet setting, open layout, and easy water access made it a dream come true—not just for us, but for future guests too.

We live locally and hope to retire full-time on Marco Island (sooner rather than later!) In the meantime, we love sharing this home with others looking for a relaxing, family-friendly getaway in a truly special place. Guests often tell us how much they enjoy the space, the view, and the calm, welcoming vibe—and we couldn’t agree more.

What makes this property unique

What sets our property apart is its prime location and personal touch. Just a short walk or bike ride from Tigertail Beach Park and several popular restaurants, it’s ideal for guests who love to explore Marco Island without always relying on a car. Our realtor — who’s seen countless homes across the island — calls the view from our property “the best on Marco,” and we agree. The ever-changing water, wildlife, and sunsets truly make this a special place.

As a local family living and working full-time in Collier County, we’re close by and deeply invested in the care of our home. That means we’re able to monitor the property regularly and ensure everything stays in top condition. If any questions or issues arise, our local property manager is available to respond quickly — and we're always just a call away. We take great pride in being responsive and proactive, so you can relax and enjoy a stress-free stay.
