Extraordinary view, unlike any other on Marco Island! Direct access & unique wildlife
This exceptional 4 bedroom/2.5 bathroom single family home is on Caxambas Bay with rare unobstructed views, perfect for watching Florida's abundant wildlife such as dolphins, manatees, iguanas, turtles and pelicans from right beside the pool. This home is located in such an extremely quiet spot on the island that you will sometimes hear the dolphins cruising by before you even see them, yet you are still a short drive or a 15 minute bike ride from the Marco Island beaches and resort areas. You can bring your best furry friend along with you if you'd like as this home is dog friendly, an additional non-refundable $250 pet fee will apply.
The home boasts a large pool and a huge lanai area with southern sun exposure for entertaining with amazing water views. A propane grill to dine in as well as a gourmet kitchen with plenty of space to please the chef of the group. There is a relaxing sand spot next to the home that can serve as your own private beach next to the water with lounge chairs and a fire pit. Please note: this home is NOT on a beach, there is a seawall and the sand area is a private beach area that does not run into the water. You can even fish right from the brand new boat dock with the ability to allow a boat to tie up, offering water, electric and shore power. This home offers it all just relax in the sun and enjoy the fantastic views!
The master suite provides a large king size bed with a water view and direct access to the lanai and pool area with a private master bathroom. The 2nd bedroom offers a queen size bed with a flat TV and a water view, the 3rd bedroom has two queen sized beds and a flat TV while the 4th bedroom is equipped with 2 twin size beds and a flat TV. There are two queen size sleeper couches in the living area for any additional guests and family members that want to tag along!

We come to Marco twice a year. First time we've stayed in this particular house. We bring a boat and spend most of our time fishing and exploring islands. If you don't mind keeping your boat in the water, the floating dock here works great. Also, the access to the primary waterway is excellent. The view here is exceptional. The only drawback: the house is a little dated. We don't spend a lot of time inside, so its not a big deal for us. The pool does not have a Lanai. We've stayed at a few now with no Lanai and it has never been an issue. I think Marco sprays for bugs on the regular. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!
The kids really enjoyed the pool! It was nice having an outdoor shower and outside access to one of the bathrooms. The kitchen was not stocked well. One of the pull-out couches was broken. Boaters cut pretty close to our dock while our fishing lines were out. The neighbors were rude.
Was a great place to stay. Nice house in a nice neighborhood. Saw plenty of wildlife out back and caught plenty of fish from the docks. Will stay here again when we come back to Marco Island.
We were 4 couples. We all loved this place, being on the bay, having the pool, was great!The house needs a little attention…The pillows not so hot.Dishwasher was broke, but they did tell us it was ok to use and it did get the dishes clean.Would be nice to have a mirror in the bedrooms.Also the one bathroom would have been nice to have something in the tub/shower to put our stuff on.All this being said,, we loved our time there and we actually hope to come back next year.Hopefully some of these things will be corrected by then.We saw dolphins and did some fishing, was nice to have fishing rods there.Also, we loved the lanai and ate all our meals there.I would definitely recommend this house!
What a perfect layout and view! We find a new city every year and the view and feel of the home already has us wanting to come back next year. Truly a great and well thought out set up! A+++!
This house has some amazing view. The pool was perfect nice and warm. The weather was perfect. The house had plenty enough space. It is a little bit of an older house but for the price I couldn't have asked for more. We caught about 7 different types of fish. The daily dolphin shows! Beautiful sunrise and most amazing sunsets. We spent 90% of our time right at the house and ate dinner every night on the porch patio. I would highly recommend for a layed back family. If you want a high class rich house this may not be for you. I am not a complainer so it was perfect for my family. Plenty enough towels. We definitely overpacked with having a washer and dryer we could have packed less for sure.
This property and location satisfied all the needs of our group!
It is located in a quiet neighborhood for the most part. There was some neighborhood construction at the time. The pool was well maintained and the dock perfect for the rental kayaks. The kitchen is perfectly situated between the two living rooms so no one is ever left out. The property offers an abundance of towels, chairs and accessories for the beach and pool. The only issue we had was that both sleeper sofas could not be used at the same time because they are in the same living room. Overall, everyone agreed it was a wonderful place and we would love to return next year
It is an older house but set up beautiful. We had plenty of room, and lots of extra towels and blankets. We paid to have the pool heated and it was perfect. We had a boat delivered to the house and the dock was great. We saw dolphins daily, and gopher turtles when the sun was out. On one walk we saw a bobcat. The views of the Gulf of Mexico were incredible. The property manager was great and efficient. Would recommend this place for sure
Great location and super easy check in process. Their were several items that needs to be addressed. Broken beds, broken patio furniture, beach towels are old, kitchen pots/pans are in need of replacement, one of the bathrooms need water pressure fix (also should consider updating it) and dryer takes almost 2 hrs to dry for a medium size load.

Wonderful Water Views
We loved the view of Caxambas Pass and watched the birds fly in and out of the 10,000 Islands from the dock each morning and evening. The house is adequate, a bit tired, and doesn't take advantage of the view. Scraggly shrubs block the view from the house.
This home was perfect for our 2 families. Watching the sunrise each day while seeing dolphins swim by was amazing!! The property manager’s service was impeccable. Upon our arrival we noticed some of the amenities were lacking, for ex lack of washcloths, the cooler was broken and the kitchen pans were old and unusable. Within a few hours of contacting the property manager, a new cooler, set of washcloths and pan set was on our doorstep.
The property was at a convenient location, located a few minutes from the beach and restaurants. Our young boys loved going fishing off the dock each day and swimming in the heated pool. We would most definitely rent this home again!
Huge spacious accomodations. It was great having our boat so close and the brand new deck accomodated the tides. Everything was fine except the back bathroom had no water pressure so we all used the master bath. I believe the bathroom could be fixed with a new shower head (drillled out). The pool was delightful. It seems that the birds like it when no one is there. It would be helpful if the management checked the deck before guests arrived. (Not a pretty sight). The kitchen was fine but could use more glasses. No whisks. Otherwise very nice.
What a great house, location, space etc. We did have a few issues. The pool needed to be treated several times during our stay. We were unable to use the pool 3 of our 7 days. One pool man was rude. The washer and dryer are slow and its tough to get all bedding and towels done according to the requirements of the rental. The second pull out couch is broken and we had to pull the mattress out and onto the floor. The house is gorgeous and a great layout. Just a few issues.
We stayed for a week with our adult children, spouses and 2 infants. The inside of the house is very nice with lovely colors. The master bedroom and bath is extremely spacious and has a most comfortable bed. Other beds were comfy, one was noisy whenever you turned over lol. The house could use new paint inside and out as some areas are a bit grimy. The outside of the property could use a little love as well. We used the pool every day and enjoyed the water views from the pool. The screened lanai right off the pool was extremely nice for those that needed to be out of the sun but wanted to be near those in the pool. We would see dolphins during the day and hear them occasionally in the evening. The dock was really nice as we had rented kayaks for the week, entering and exiting the water was extremely easy with the dock. Overall it was a very nice vacation and we enjoyed ourselves.
We choose this house based on location which was wonderful, beautiful view and great boat dock that we kept our boat at. We saw dolphin and manatee out there everyday which was so nice! We came with another family and there kids so the layout was great for that separation and space.
Upon arrival though we could tell this house needed work and the pictures looked alot better than what we showed up to.
Definitely needs a deep clean. We found food and wrappers all over, game pieces dumped out behind furniture, dirty base boards and our kids found pills on the floor in there bedroom. The pullout bed is broken as well as outside screen doors and broken patio furniture laying around.
Unfortunately our vacation was over a week were it rained and stormed most of the days which made the ceiling in the kitchen start to leak significantly. We contacted property management and was told they would call the following day and send someone out and we never heard anything back. We’ve rented many homes on Marco and even though this location was best we unfortunately wouldn’t stay here again unless it was better taken care of.

Great View and Good Layout
We rented this house for a family getaway. The view of the bay was amazing. We had dock access for a boat which we rented from a local boat rental place. The house had a pool as well which looked over the bay so it was nice to sit in the pool and enjoy the view. The layout of the house was perfect with views of the ocean from almost all rooms. The house is split with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom on either side of the home which was perfect for 2 families to be in. The kitchen was located in the middle with a huge windows overlooking the bay. Our only complaint is that we felt as if the house was not cleaned properly before our arrival. We found someone’s underwear under the dresser in a bedroom, a sock in another room, and water bottle as well. The windows sills had dust and dead bugs on them. We don’t fault the owners of the home for this however they need to ensure that the property manager is hiring the right cleaning people. Other than that we would rent this house again.
Overall we enjoyed our stay at this property. The size was perfect for our group of 10 and the home is as listed on the website. Views are wonderful. Our children spent countless hours in the pool and sand area. The locks around the pool area made us feel safe given our young children. Staying on the intercoastal with children, however, made us feel less comfortable. We encountered a few frustrations: 1. The cleaning crew was still at the home for ~1 additional hour when we tried to check-in making a long travel day with small children even longer. 2. There is a policy to have the majority of the bedding and towels washed prior to check-out. We started laundry at 6am and did so non-stop until check-out at 10am to fulfill this requirement. An impossible task if we would have had an earlier flight and frustrating given the price of cleaning fee. The drier quality is not poor but could use an upgrade given the multiple cycles it needs to dry an avg. sized load of sheets/towels. 3. Poor communication from the rental company. I had to reach out to them to pay our 2nd deposit when I realized I wasn't charged >30days after its due date and I wanted to confirm our reservation was still valid. They sounded disorganized on my call. They had offered to send tourist info about the area but then failed to do so. I did not reach out during our stay as none of "issues" warranted immediate action.
Overall we enjoyed our stay but would probably consider other properties if we returned to the area.
Blow Your Mind Amazing! Great Layout and Gorgeous Views.
This house was in a beautiful setting among the mansions and pristine gardens of the Caxambas Pass neighborhood. The bedrooms were spacious and the layout of the house allowed for privacy even with larger families. We watched the dolphins pass by the dock every morning and the pelicans fish all day. The pool was always the right temperature no matter the weather with the heater. The kitchen was well suited for our family of 8 with a waffle maker, blender, and 2 different coffee makers, and a large comfortable dining table. The home is also situated only a few miles from Publix for every need you could have. It was well worth being off the beaten tourst row of hotels to have our own lawn, sand bar, a unbeatable view of the water, palm trees with a hammock hanging between. The owners have thought of every need with sand toys, fishing rods, beach towels, even a cooler.
