About this property

Overlook Nature Preserve in Private 5 Bedroom Waterfront Home

This is a unique three-pod style house in a quiet neighborhood offering the best view on Marco Island. This home is not on a canal, but on a scenic body of water known as Sanctuary Sound, a nature lover's paradise of playful dolphins and shy manatees. Each morning and evening watch as hundreds of tropical birds fly over the water in V formation.

The living room opens via sliding glass doors onto the screened lanai area with a large pool, hot tub, tropical plantings, and outdoor seating. Beyond the lanai area, there is a path to the private dock, where you can catch fish in your own back yard.

The house has a fully equipped kitchen and large eat-in living room. Each of the three pods has its own large master suite with full bath and king sized beds. There are two additional twin bedrooms with bath. Four bedrooms have panoramic views of the water and all have TV's. There is a two car garage with complete laundry facilities. The circle drive provides additional parking.

Sun, swim, and rest in the midst of the beautiful vistas of Sanctuary Sound. It may seem like you are miles from civilization, but you are only minutes from shopping, restaurants, and the beautiful beaches of Marco Island.

Great family gathering

The property was as advertised. Beautiful location on the water and it was very clean. The pod concept worked great for our extended family gathering. We had a great time and would go back again.

Great stay

The house was clean and well stocked with what we needed. The unique layout was great for our 3 families. The pool was a nice size and the lanai was large with lots of seating. We would definitely stay again. We just wish we could have been able to use the boat lift for our rental boat.

Wow! That was our expression when we first walked in. Pictures did not do this property justice. I brought my wife, 3 college kids, there significant others and my mother-in-law down here for a relaxing vacation and we all enjoyed it tremendously. The pool is big, the views were amazing and the house super comfortable with all your needs. A well stocked kitchen and plenty of pool and beach towels so it’s just less to pack. We are going to rent again next summer just working on a date.

Thanksgiving getaway

The property is located in a very tranquil spot. The views are gorgeous and it’s very quiet. The layout of the home is unlike any other, but in a great way for families traveling together. It’s nice to have the common area and then the separate living space for each family. If you have young kids that don’t know how to swim just be aware that the pool area is not enclosed and is accessed right out each of the doors. The hot tub was lovely, the beds were very comfortable and the renovated bathrooms are very nice. This was our first time visiting the island and really loved the beaches and close proximity to restaurants and stores. We rated this stay a 4 due to a few items that would improve the space- 1. Taking care of the abundance of ants in the kitchen 2. The grill was not useable during our stay and was filthy 3. Blackout shades or curtains in the bedroom would be a plus. We thoroughly appreciated the quick response from the property manager who came right over to remedy the ant issue, however, the owner of the property should really consider using an exterminator based on the number of them in the kitchen and this is likely a recurring problem if traps were already there. Would this keep us from visiting again? No. We really enjoyed our stay and our kids will be talking about it for weeks. Thank you for sharing your home!

Beautiful home with great fishing

We were returning renters because the “pod” house was perfect for our extended family in the past. We thought it couldn’t get any better than our previous visit but it did. New beautiful furniture, redecorating with lovely color scheme, new beds, wood- look tile flooring throughout and really nice high-end linens. It was once again, a fantastic property!

Amazing Separated but together feel stay

This place was wonderful. They house is divided into sections, so everyone had their own wing of the home. In the middle there is the pool which was gorgeous and well kept. From there you can see the amazing view of your lake in the back yard. The home even came with snacks! Small items just in case you may need things from face wash to shampoo and towels. This is the perfect place for family trips if you want to have your own privacy at night but many places to gather during the day. Will book again if I ever come to this location!!

Beautiful and tranquil home on sanctuary sound

This is a beautiful and functional quite unique home with amazing scenery and easy water access. Stayed with my parents and my brother and his family and my family and there was plenty of space for all 10 of us. Pool/hot tub were awesome for cooling off after a hot day on the boat or at the beach. It was a great place to relax and forget about the quarantine for a week! :) Check in and out were easy, property manager Patrick was very helpful with the one issue we had and got it taken care of quickly. Would stay again!

Wonderful Place to Stay on Marco Island!

We have very fond memories of our week in the Stillwater Court house. Our group comprised of three generations (six adults, three kids), so it was nice that the house is divided into three separate sleeping areas that provided privacy but also offered a large great room with kitchen, dining table and sofas for shared time. The heated pool and spa were fabulous and having the bay right outside the back of the house meant we were treated to natural dolphin shows almost every day of our stay. Having stayed in several rental homes in the US and Europe, I have to say that I was impressed by the variety of items that were available throughout the house. The kitchen, which seems to have been beautifully redone not too long ago, contained the extras we needed to make meals at home: electric mixer, salad spinner, measuring cups, top quality knives, and even a wide range of spices. There were plenty of towels including bath, pool/beach, kitchen and paper. All three kids gave a thumbs up to the pool toys available for use. There were two patio tables and plenty of chairs so we were able to have meals pool-side. Booking the house was very easy, I received a prompt reply from the owner's representative via email and she was very friendly and helpful on the phone. We were emailed detailed information and a map for finding the house. My husband and I agreed that we would love to return to this house and would recommend it without hesitation.

Familiehuis

Met de familie het huis 1 week bewoond. Kamer verdeling prima, de keuken niet geheel schoon. De woning is enigszins verouderd, maar wel praktisch. Prima week gehad, elke ochtend dolfijnen langs zien zwemmen. De housekeeping mag iets intensiever schoonmaken.

AMAZING family vacation home!

We just got back from a short but amazing vacation here at this incredible property overlooking the sanctuary- We were a group of 9 people total.....The home was in amazing condition!!! There were many amenities, and everything we needed was right there- We actually did not leave the home because we would be in the pool all day long! The view was spectacular! There so many towels, fresh linens, etc.... We took a nice bike ride around the amazing neighborhood! we were so pleased with the house, the accommodations, and the setting! We were all very sad to leave, but we are already planning to come back very soon. Thank you very much for sharing this spectacular home!!!
