Thank you and as always a pleasure seeing you having you stay in our home. Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay again in our home.
We had a great time and enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and had everything we needed including all of the items you would need for a relaxing day at the beach. The pool was well maintained, and we made great use of the pool and spent a lot of time swimming. The host was very responsive and had information and flyers on things to do on Marco Island. It was a wonderful vacation.

Kim and her guests were great. We had good communication . Glad to hear you had a great time and all that we provided for you. Looking forward in seeing you again.
Ed and Anna are wonderful hosts. The house was so comfortable and well appointed. It was spotless. The pool was great and we so enjoyed the view across the canal. We watched osprey flying to and from their nests. The sunsets were beautiful. They have thought of everything that you might need on a vacation. There were pool toys for kiddos. There were beach chairs, umbrellas and a beach cart. We enjoyed it so much, we have booked it already for next year. It was so nice to have a garage to use.

Loved everything about the house…especially that it was spotless! Played lots of cards at the nice dining room table. We’ve never stayed anywhere that was so well equipped. And thanks for always communicating with us. Really enjoyed our stay and hope to return. Thanks kindly for everything
The cleanest and most organized house of the ones I rent, and I've been going to the Island for 5 years to spend holidays, and the communication with its excellent owner, it's really top-class, I recommend it 100% Thanks Ed

This property was beautiful and had everything we needed. The host, Ed, was extremely helpful when I couldn’t figure out how to lock the door and didn’t even make fun of me (haha). We would definitely stay here again!

About the host
Hosted by Edward Karas
Originally from Chicago. We have 25 years of rental experience. My wife and I have two children. Marco Island has become our favorite vacation destination and now it has become our home. Our go-to spots on the Island are Da Vinci's Italian Restaurant, Little Annie's Ice Cream Parlor, and The Snook Inn.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this home while vacationing in it with our family, and are now proud to say we can pass that great experience onto our guests! We are passionate about our home and truly believe the value and location cannot be beaten.
What makes this property unique
It is rare to find a place where you have everything nearby at your convenience, yet you can spend the afternoon relaxing on your patio watching the best sunset views on the Island while feeling miles away from the real world. With a home you can call your own, what great memories will you make?
