                Thank you for allowing us to build family memories here at your welcoming home. We used this home as our base camp for several day trips to places like Sanibel, Marsh Trail, Big Cypress Bend Boardwalk, airboat ride in Everglade City, etc. We truly want to thank you!

                Stay was great, pool for our grandson was incredible. We had the best time while in Marco Island. House is is great condition. CJ's on the Bay on Thursdays is highly recommended. Traveling on bikes is highly efficient and you can burn the calories while doing so. We will return next year. Thank you for your beautiful home.

                We were down there for my son's wedding on the beach. This house is located in the perfect location for all the activities. It is very well furnished and a quiet neighborhood. The owner was very good to work with.

                I just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful time in your beautiful home! We had a great time enjoying the beach and the pool last week. I hope that perhaps in the near future we can come down again for another relaxing vacation. Thank so much!

The owners were great to work with and quick to respond to any questions. I would highly recommend this property. Looking forward to returning next year

                Yesterday we got back from the USA. We would like to say - that our stay in your house was wonderful and we have great memories from this beautiful place. It's true that this home has everything, what is needed while on vacation. We loved Marco Island so much. The beach is amazing. We are really sorry that this time of our vacation went so fast. Thank you very much for everything and we can assure you that will recommend this place to our friends in Poland.

Truely a wonderful vacation home........

                This was my families first time to Marco Island & couldn't have asked for a better home to spend our week at. Having 3 younger kids can be stressful when traveling, but not this time we had all the comforts of home and more! There were movies & board games to entertain all ages on the couple rainy days we had & having the lanai & pool was perfect. So many memories were made on our trip in your home, from my son learning to swim to my daughter losing her 1st tooth that we are booking again for next year! Thank you for everything!

                There is a reason why Marco Island is located on the Paradise Coast....because it is paradise! Your home made our trip utterly amazing! When we first walked into the house, our thought was, WOW! this place is clean and well kept! It is so nicely decorated and very spacious! The house is filled with sunshine and the open concept allows you to see right through to the lanai and pool area! This house is well equipped! It literally has everything any vacationer would need! The bikes were a huge hit as we strolled around small island to explore or to just get a morning bagel and coffee! The pool rafts were great for relaxing and keeping cool! The BBQ grill was wonderful! We actually smoked a ham for our Christmas meal! There are so many books and movies! WiFi was convenient to have, so my husband could keep up with his addiction to Words With Friends! haha We enjoyed the lemon tree in the backyard! It was great to have fresh Florida lemons for our cocktails! The beach is very close, however, you can not enter through Resident's Beach, which is only a few blocks from the house. You need to enter on the North side of the Marriott. There is a public beach access walkway that leads you to the beautiful beach! This is also a pretty short walk, maybe 1/2 mile. Overall, your house made our stay in Marco Island amazing! We felt right at home and we had everything we needed! Thank you so much for the wonderful amenities! We will definitely be staying again!

                My boyfriend and I enjoyed a full week of fun in the sun at this Marco Island gem and couldn't be happier with our choice of lodging. Between the bug-free indoor/outdoor living offered by the porch-lanai area, the fresh citrus from the trees out back (perfect for margaritas!), and the truly charming decor, this was the perfect place for our vacation. We spent most of our vacation either walking or flying around on the fantastic bikes we found in the garage--the island is a perfect size for walking/biking everywhere you want to go (though we found that biking after two pitchers of beer at the Crazy Flamingo made me very fast and Matt very worried). Having bikes and bike locks onsite was a HUGE perk! Definitely the best way to see the island. The house itself was just wonderful: kitchen was great for all the cooking we did and included a brand new dishwasher. Great movie selection, plenty of beach reads on the shelves, and I daresay all the floors in the bedrooms were new! (And GORGEOUS.) And the heated pool! Let's just say that we really felt spoiled. The house is in a great location--perfect proximity to miles of sandy beaches, the Marco movie theater (where the staff serves you in your seat), shops, restaurants, bars--you name it. We'll definitely be back, and when we are, we'll definitely be staying in this place! Thanks so much for having us, Kevin and Linda! You were so lovely to work with, and we felt well taken care of both in the weeks leading up to our visit and while we were there. Thanks again!

              Year Purchased: 2000

              About the owner: We are native Minnesotans who love to get away in the winter! We take time away from our two dogs and our real estate business and sneak away as often as we can.

              Why the Owner Chose Private Homes:
              We fell in love with Marco Island the first time we visited. It became our goal to own a piece of this jewel for ourselves, so bought this home sight unseen!

              The Unique Benefits at this House:
              Shall we lounge by the pool? Shall we challenge the kids to a game of water volleyball? Or should we head to the ocean for a beach walk? So many options, you need to stay longer to take advantage of them all.
