INFORMATION ON THIS PROPERTY
_________________________________

This beautiful canal front pool vacation home is one of the best properties on Marco Island. Get ready to experience total relaxation with this quiet southern pool exposure 3-bedroom, 3 full bath home with heated pool and spa. The simple yet tastefully decorated home offers a master bedroom suite AND a guest suite, both with king beds!! All three bathrooms have private bathrooms with walk-in showers! Modern features abound in his recently updated property. New stainless-steel appliances, sound system, flat screen TVs, BluRay/DVD players, new Air Conditioning, Kayaks, Bikes, Polywood outdoor furniture, and 3 chaise lounges on lanai. New large dock is great for water side relaxation and the submersible platform allows you to easily launch kayaks for fun canal paddling and what we call "Dolphin Chasing"! NOW OFFERING alternative/flexible off-season change over days. See details under the "Why this Property" section.

In September of 2017, Hurricane IRMA ripped through Marco Island causing widespread damage. Fast forward to today and the island has rarely if ever looked better. In 2022, hurricane Ian tore through Florida, but Marco was largely spared of significant damage. Each year, we reinvest capital to continuously improve our home for ourselves and for you. Upgrades over the past years include new a pool cage with two wide picture window screens, new carpet in the bedrooms, new cafe style seating on the lanai, completely refinished pool and lanai, and of course and awesome super-large dock, and much more. Our guests will truly have a relaxed and comfortable home to stay in during their Marco Island vacation!

Just an added comment on the 3 bathroom feature of our property... when we first started traveling to Marco and renting houses several years ago, we always joked that "the kids didn't mind sharing a bathroom with Grandma & Grandpa!" We later learned that they actually did mind... big shocker! So when we decided to buy a place, we had to have a house with three bathrooms. We've really come to appreciate that during our extended family visits, and we are confident your family/friends will also appreciate the added privacy having 3 bathrooms enables.

Please also note, we want to be an attractive option for a family of 4 as well, therefore our rates are based on the occupancy of 4 people. Groups larger than that will incur an additional per person per night charge.

INSTANT BOOKINGS

Marco Island is a family friendly and romantic couples vacation destination regulated by strict City ordinances that limit among other things, occupancy levels and noise. We are careful to adhere to these regulations and will actively enforce them with all rental parties. Those seeking a party atmosphere should look elsewhere.

ATTENTION SOUTH & CENTRAL FLORIDA RESIDENTS: DO NOT INSTANT BOOK... YOUR RESERVATION WILL BE CANCELLED.

Family spring break

wonderful outdoor area by pool and deck with kayaks! Was impressed with all the bikes, and beach necessities! Property was very clean, plenty of kitchen utensils and cooking/baking. Bedrooms had plenty of pillows, etc. Owners were wonderful on answering all questions quickly and easy to work with. Only downfall was a little far to walk with beach equipment to carry, but wonderful neighborhood/ area!

Perfect Location For Our Family of Four

This was our fifth time staying on Marco Is., and our second renting a house. As our kids have aged into middle and high school, a vacation rental just make more sense than one of the expensive hotels or even condos right on the beach that can be double the price, and for a lot less space. This house was clean and comfortable, with plenty of amenities. The bikes and kayaks were an excellent option for us each day, and Tigertail and South Beaches are just a short 5 min. drive away (beach chairs included!) The outdoor patio/pool/deck area was outstanding and a big reason why we choose the house. Eric and Jean were great hosts - easy to communicate with every step of the way.

Wonderful Home

The house is beautiful. We enjoyed the pool, kayaks, and bikes. Everything was in wonderful condition. We thought we would spend more time at the beach but the house and pool were so comfortable we spent a couple days at the pool and skipped the beach. The owners were very kind and we felt like guests at the house. Thank you! Best experience we have had with VRBO

Marco Island Paradise

Our stay at this beautiful house was fantastic. The house had all the comforts of home and then some. We enjoyed the beautiful pool, spa and lanai everyday. The dock with the automated lift for the kayaks made kayaking easy. We had so much fun kayaking through the miles of canals and enjoying the views from the water. In the house, everything we could ever need was there. The beds were very comfortable and having large, luxurious en-suites with each bedroom was very nice. The neighborhood was very quiet, and the house is located in a very convenient location, within minutes to all of Marco Islands best restaurants and beaches. Eric and Jean were very good hosts and were prompt in answering any questions we had during our stay… Thanks Eric and Jean!

Amazing Home and Location!!

My wife and I stayed for a getaway week in April and the home is fabulous!! The location is perfect, the home is very well equipped and exactly as described, and the view from the lanai is amazing!! The garage contains everything you need for the beach and the bikes are quality units that we used each morning. The owners were very accommodating and fast with communication. We highly recommend this home and will definitely be planning another visit!!

Loved Marco!

This property was exactly as advertised. There are several expectations for your stay here, but they were very clear and easy to follow. We loved the kayaks (the lowering dock) and the bikes. It was so nice to have those to use whenever we wanted instead of having to rent them. Marco Island is a beautiful place!

Relaxing vacation

My husband and I and our 2 adult children just came back from the most relaxing week ever. We have had a very stressful year, and this is just what we needed. We couldn’t have asked for a better home. It had everything we needed, plus more. Very clean and great location. We used the bikes, but did not try the kayaks. I probably would have rolled over!😂😂. Anyway, I highly recommend this vacation home to anyone.

Winter Vacation

The property is well maintained, clean and spacious. The kitchen is well appointed for all dining styles. The pool area and the dock add additional choices for outdoor seating no matter what the weather may do. The pool and spa were very clean and provide an enjoyable alternative to the beach. The kayaks and powered dock platform were an excellent way to be on the water and see the surrounding area. Eric and Jean could not have been more communicative and quickly addressed any question or concerns we had. For us this house was the best residence we've rented on Marco Island.

Good house

Good house. Each bathroom is an on suite there is no common bathroom in the house. Other things to be aware of , you have to purchase laundry detergent. The house came with 1 paper towel roll and a couple toilet paper rolls for each bathroom. You have to buy your own if you need more. Overall good home to rent. Quick communication from owner.

Short getaway

We had a great time in a short period of time. Several liked the ability to use the kayaks. Property manager responded to every contract quickly, even how to adjust shower for the perfect temperature. My only negative is not having detergent available to start washing the towels as requested. I don’t mind doing it but detergent us easy enough to leave for guests. Would definitely come again.

About the host

Hosted by Jean & Eric

Host profile image
After vacationing in Marco Island and renting homes over the last five years, we decided to try our hand at vacation ownership! We take a lot of pride in our property and use it for our own vacations as well. You should expect this unit to be very clean with comfortable beds, high quality bedding, a great selection of pillow types, etc... we know the value of getting a good nights sleep, especially when on vacation! We plan to rent the property about 20 weeks a year so that it doesn't get over used and will be something we can enjoy when we use it. We've hired a range of service providers to ensure the property is well kept and in great shape for every one of our guests.

We also are very active in the rental process and will be very open in communicating with our guests. We want this to be your best vacation experience ever, so our vision of being an owner is to establish a relationship with our guests so they know they have a place they can trust will deliver a fun, relaxed, stress free vacation location for years to come!

Why they chose this property

This is a 3 bedroom, 3 bath property, which we think makes it great from a renters standpoint. Less bathroom sharing than the typical 3/2 you often find on the island. The southern exposure is great in the fall, winter and spring months ensuring sunshine on the lanai throughout the year.

NOW OFFERING alternative/flexible change over days(not applicable during Feb & March peak season). While most others go Saturday to Saturday, we've noticed that the best times to fly to Florida are often Tuesdays and Wednesdays. So, to allow potential guests to take advantage of more attractive air fares, we have opened up our change over dates during non-peak seasons to include any day of the week.

What makes this property unique

3 Kayaks available for use with an easy to launch dock lift
Multiple(8) bikes for roaming the island.
2 King Suites.
3 baths, all with walk-in showers.
Den (with additional Queen Bed)... we call it the nap room or "snorers" room!
