### GOOD TO KNOW BEFORE BOOKING
**Rental Agreement & Security Hold** Guests are required to sign a rental agreement, provide a valid ID for verification, and place a credit card on file. A $1,000 security deposit hold will be placed on the card approximately 2 days before arrival. This is a hold, not a charge, and will be released after departure if there is no property damage or ordinance violation.
**Cancellation & Travel Insurance** Cancellations made within the applicable refundable period will receive a refund less any non-refundable processing fees. Outside of that period, refunds are not provided for illness, flight disruptions, weather, or other travel interruptions. We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance, especially for stays during hurricane season.
**Parking** Parking is available for 1 vehicle in the garage and 2 vehicles in the driveway. Boats and trailers may not be parked in the driveway under Marco Island regulations. Small RVs may be permitted with the appropriate city permit and may not block the sidewalk.
**Exterior Cameras** There is one Ring doorbell camera at the front entrance. A rear camera is also located near the pool/dock area for security when the home is vacant; it is turned off during guest stays for privacy.
**Noise Ordinance** Guests must comply with Marco Island’s vacation-rental noise ordinance and quiet-hour requirements. Excessive noise or ordinance violations may result in fines that are the guest’s responsibility.
**Pool Heat** The pool is typically heated to at least 86°F. The heater operates only while the pool equipment is running, so temperatures may drop overnight and recover during the day. Heat pumps may also shut down during unusually cold weather to protect the equipment.
**Bicycles** Complimentary bicycles are provided for guest use. Bikes are not professionally inspected between every stay, and guests are responsible for determining that each bicycle is safe and suitable before use. Use is at your own risk.
**Required Legal Notice** It is unlawful for a sexual offender or sexual predator to occupy this residence.

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

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.

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!
