Beautiful home close to the ocean

This was a beautiful, clean home within walking distance to the beach. The beach was not crowded at all. The owners provided everything you need for a day at the beach, including two beach carts, umbrellas, chairs, and sand toys.

Superb location-Excellent value

Our family of 6 spent a fabulous stay at this home this summer. The house is just a short walk from the beach and it was fully equipped with carts, umbrellas, beach towels etc. to make it easy and convenient. The home is beautifully decorated and very functional with excellent utilization of the space. The pool is just the right size and the patio furniture makes it very enjoyable to be outdoors. We didn't use the BBQ grills but they are available should we have decided to do so. The rooms were spacious and so were the bathrooms. The kitchen was open and equipped with top rated appliances and basic necessities. When adding all these features, this home is the perfect place to spend a few relaxing days in beautiful Marco Island.

A perfect getaway!

This house is absolutely perfect for a family beach getaway! The screened-in pool was a hit with the kids, the short walk to the gorgeous beach/sunsets couldn’t be beat, and Alan was extremely responsive and easy to deal with. The beds were comfortable, the garage was we’ll-stocked with beach gear, and there were plenty of towels for all the water activities. No complaints and a place we’d happily stay again on another trip to Marco Island!

Great Spring Break Getaway

We loved our spring break on Marco Island. Home is in great condition, located in a quiet neighborhood and is a very short walk to the beach. Home is equipped with everything that you might need… 20+ beach towels, great outdoor seating area, fully stocked kitchen, keyless entry, beach wagon, beach chairs, beach accessories, etc. Our girls in particular loved the outdoor heated pool. We highly recommend the home & hope to visit again soon.
