Kristen's home was amazing with great views all around, my family and I had a great time. The house is equipped with everything you need to feel at home while on vacation. Even on the days we had the Florida weather and got rained on we enjoyed the house and the pool and had an awesome time.
Beautiful house, great location and a lot of amenities. It was perfect for our family of four. Kitchen was beautiful and fully equipped with everything we needed. We will be back

We’ve stayed at this property twice now and everything has been exceptional both times. The location is perfect, the house is stocked with everything you need, and it’s kept very clean. Everything was working as it should and the owner is very responsive. The boat dock and pool were perfect for our family. Five stars all around! Highly recommend.

Our Favorite Home Away From Home!
We just wrapped up our third year in a row staying at this fantastic property, and it truly feels like a home away from home. It is the absolute perfect setup for a two-family vacation with kids!
The backyard is stunning—having the pool right on the canal provides such a gorgeous backdrop to relax by every day. Inside, the house is incredibly comfortable, warm, and inviting, with everything you could possibly need. The kitchen in particular is fully stocked with all the essentials (and then some!), making cooking for a group so easy.
On top of all that, the host goes above and beyond by providing tons of extra amenities—bikes, life vests, coolers, and complete beach equipment. In three years of staying here, I have yet to find a single negative thing about this property. We can't wait to come back next year!

Superlative!!
Beautifully appointed house on a quiet and lovely canal. Kitchen has everything one could want- even an air fryer. The house is impeccably maintained and very clean. The owner is always available if a problem arises or something needs replacing. This is truly a home away from home.

The home was wonderful and the outdoor space is truly an oasis.
Perfectly located and never more than a few minutes drive to any of the things Marco Island had to offer.
We will certainly be back.

Hi Jennifer! That is the wonderful part about Marco Island…it is not just gorgeous beaches but there are so many activities and restaurants to enjoy as well. I hope you can stay with us again!
Nicely updated property in great, quiet location on the island. Pool and jacuzzi were great. Fish, dolphins and stingrays swim right past boat dock. Easy access from property to beaches, seafood markets and restaurants.

We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed staying in our new home! We are very lucky to be located in the central part of the island so we are very close to beaches, stores, and restaurants! So excited to hear that you were able to enjoy the huge dock and see some of the amazing Florida wildlife!

Great location on the island with super pool and hot tub on the patio with canal view.
Kristen is a great host who is very responsive to anything you need if you don’t find it at the house. We have spent the month of January here for the past three years. House is perfect layout with great pool/lanai area. The location on the island was perfect for us. We always enjoy our stay here!

Great one week stay
The property had a great pool area including a big grill and fire pit. Everything was in great working order and the host was very responsive. Everything needed for a family stay was available - a high chair, comfortable beach chairs, many coolers, beach umbrellas and even a portable cabana and fishing rods! The dock overlying the canal was a very peaceful place to unwind. The only negative is that there were no working locks on the bathrooms or bedrooms. I recommend this property highly.
Beautiful property that has everything a family could need while on vacation! The outdoor area alone could have entertained us all week, but we also enjoyed how centrally located it was to beaches, shopping, and dining. Every restaurant we ate at was delicious, and a visit to Sweet Annie’s ice cream shop was almost a daily occurrence for us. Kristen is an excellent host, and we would 100% stay here again!
Terrific home on Marco Island. Great location. The home was in very neat, clean, and comfortable. The setting was terrific with a nice patio view overlooking the pool and the canal. Our host was very nice and attentive. Thanks!
Add a fantastic time celebrating our daughters sweet 16 with her best friend! Great location, great space to hang by the pool perfect for the 4 of us!

The screened lanai is designed for outdoor living, with comfortable seating, an outdoor TV, fire pit, grill, and dining space for relaxed evenings with family and friends.
The private dock adds another dimension to your stay. Enjoy peaceful canal views, watch for local wildlife, or rent a boat and experience Marco Island from the water.
Inside, the home is bright, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped for an easy vacation. The open living area gives everyone room to gather, while 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms provide plenty of space to spread out and recharge.
We also provide many of the extras that make traveling easier, including **4 bikes, beach chairs, a beach cart, umbrellas, coolers, pool floats, games, and a fully equipped kitchen**. Instead of spending the first day of vacation buying or renting gear, you can unpack and start enjoying the island.
