About this property

Waterfront home on key lot w/ pool/view of river

This 2,000 square foot waterfront house is located on a key lot, which is a real estate term that in common English means, “Wow, can you believe all this space? A huge yard and water on all sides. It’s like our own little tropical island.”

The house sleeps six, with one king bed, two queens and two bathrooms. It also comes with a two-car garage. You get more room, more views and more privacy. When you’re on your lanai, looking out at the turquoise water with a shoreline mangroves, your nearest neighbors are the dolphins and manatee on their way to the Marco River, which is the same way you’ll be heading if you have a boat. The private dock is so close to the river you can see it from the lanai.

One other advantage of a bigger lot is a bigger heated pool. With all the pool toys that come with the house, good luck getting the kids out of the water. The gas grill and table cooled by an overhead fan will make poolside barbeques your favorite meal of the day.

The bright interior is the perfect complement to the tranquil water view. White-tiled rooms with vaulted ceilings are filled with modern furniture as comfortable as it is stylish.

A sectional sofa faces a fireplace with a stone mantel between two floor-to-ceiling windows and a view of the lush garden. On the adjacent wall is the entertainment center with a big screen television. In the family room there a pool table and bar.

The kitchen, with recessed ceilings and granite countertops, comes equipped with all the modern appliances and cookware you need to serve a family dinner on a table with a water view.

The master suite features two-toned wooden bedroom furniture and an arched doorway leading to the dreamy ensuite bathroom. The other bedrooms come with sliding door access to the lanai, so you can fall asleep to the fragrant night winds off the water.

The house offers plenty of amenities for your comfort and convenience, including air conditioning and heating, ceiling fans, free wi-fi, cable, linens, towels and a washer and dryer. It also comes with beach essentials like beach towels, beach chairs, cooler and umbrella.

When you want to dine out or shop, you’re just a short walk from the Shops of Marco, where you’ll find a grocery store and pharmacy, salons and spas, clothing boutiques and plenty of restaurants.

The vacation of a lifetime is waiting for you at Starfish Court.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was really wonderful. The management company was very helpful, responded to questions quick and communicated well. My only complaint was the bugs (ants and roaches) and difficulty with hot water at times but honestly it didn't bring the value down. We really enjoyed our time and the house was perfect for our needs. Thank you.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is ideal . The pool was nice . The house was not clean, the refrigerator was full of food stains, there was layers of grease stains on and surrounding the stove area, this was the first time I had to buy cleaning products to clean the house before use as there was no disinfectants provided . The windows are full of mold and algae . There is a lot of water damage on the inside obviously from being flooded from the hurricane. The lower inside of the doors are rotting and warped, this would be an ideal stay if the property was maintained and cleaned properly . The property management company was great to work with as we had no air conditioning and they took action immediately to remedy the issue . For the cost of the rental, I was disappointed in the condition and cleanliness .

A big disappointment

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We based our decision on the rental property according to the previous review and pictures. Yes, exactly what we were looking for, a beautiful home, all the features, gas grill, private pool and fishing. Everything was fine until we decided to grill. It was so rusted out it could barely stand on its own. Hoping our steaks would be done before it collapsed on the floor. Then it was time for a nice relaxing swim. That is the biggest negative. The pool did NOT have a hand rail to get in/out as the photos show. No problem if you don't have any knee issues. I literally had to crawl on my hands and knees to get in and exit the pool. Not only dangerous, but painful. This property should have a SPECIAL notice to ALL guests: Any knee or bending issues this property is NOT for YOU!!! One episode of that experience was enough. This was on day 1. So that left fishing which amounted to cat fish and watch a few dolphins swim by. Not impressed and very disappointed in the misrepresentation presented in the description and photos. It's not like you can drive up and look at everything before you pay your rental charge. Everything is due up front and we feel we were deeply taken advantage of. What is vacation for other than rent a very beautiful home with all the amenities.

Perfect and Relaxing!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house has the best set up. Very clean. Has all the amenities you need! Furniture was perfect too - nice big couch where the four of us could sit and not be cramped. Beds are comfortable. Plenty of towels. Pool toys, fishing poles and beach chairs were in the garage. Area is very quiet and what a view from the back! We fished off the dock every day. Didn't catch anything to brag about but it was still a great time. The pool is very nice too. We got a kick out of feeding the iguanas out back. They love apples. Any place we wanted to go on the Island was about a 5-10 minute drive. If you stay here, you have to drive to the Crabby Lady Restaurant in Goodland. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are already planning on staying there again!

Another Wonderful Vacation in Marco Island

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have booked through Marco Island Vacation Properties many times and have nothing but praise for their service. Similarly, we have stayed in the property on Starfish Court many times and love it's position. Waking up every morning and watching the beautiful sunrise is wonderful, but it's the nature we love the most. We saw dolphins, rays, ospreys, iguanas, myriads of fish and for the first time, a small black tip reef shark. The only negative is that the property is looking very tired and desperately needs some TLC.

May 2023 Stay

Overall things went very smoothly. Two huge disappointments were the pool & grill. The grill is so rusted out it was a guessing game if your food would finish cooking before the whole thing collapsed on the floor. We booked this property based on the photo gallery. The pool has a hand rail on the shallow end but in reality there is none to be found. Exactly what a senior citizen needs with arthritic knees. Otherwise like me I had to literally crawl on my hands & knees to enter & get out so we didn’t have any slips & falls. After all of that, the excitement & enjoyment is gone. Good thing we like to fish as that provided hours of relaxation. I think consideration needs to be made to accommodate most guests no matter what their age is & very CLEARLY state knee issues, arthritis issues or any need of assistance getting into the pool this property is not for you. That way there are no surprises upon arrival after you have already paid the weekly rental charges.

March Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time. The house was well stocked with dishes and such. The pool and dock were wonderful. Neighbor to the left of the house if facing the house were friendly. House was clean. Improvements that are needed are the hot water did not work very well in the guest "bathroom", the snook lights on the dock did not work, and the shower in the master leaked water all over the floor every time it was used. Overall a great stay and would stay again. The rental property agency sent a maintenance man over to fix the snook light but it could not be fixed at the time. The rental agency were awesome to work with.

Most amazing family trip taken this far

To say this was the best family vacation yet is an understatement. The house was amazing and has everything you could even think of needing and was very clean. The pool area was a blast for my children! Dolphins swam by at least once a day ( very amazing to see) the wildlife was beautiful. Fishing off the dock and backyard was fun and catch a few types of fish. Check in and out process was easy and the text updated for trash day and check out process was an added bonus! I couldn’t recommend this rental enough! We will defiantly be back to enjoy another stay on Marco Island.
