First time traveling with a little!

We had a wonderful stay! The home was very clean, in a great location, and the hosts were accommodating and easy to communicate with. Traveling with our toddler (under 2) was smooth thanks to how comfortable and convenient everything was. We were very happy with our experience and would gladly stay again!

Great place to come together!

My family came down to Marco for our Grandfathers funeral. While normally he would set us up in separate places, some of us cousins wanted to be together. It was a great place to relax, cry, and enjoy time with family.

Absolutely Lovely!

Property had everything we needed as a group of 6. Lovely pool and well furnished kitchen and bathrooms. Extremely close to groceries and dining and Tigertail Beach access. Quiet neighborhood and friendly neighbors. Comfortable sitting on pool deck or around large table in kitchen after a long day at the beach. Owner was accommodating and responded quickly to all communication. Highly recommended home - we want to visit again soon!!

Wonderful trip

We had a wonderful trip overall. The house was beautiful exactly as listed. Very clean, lots of things to cook with and we enjoyed the pool. The only downfall for us was how hot the house was with no option to make cooler. We kept all doors and windows shut, we closed all unused rooms and still the house was almost 75 all the time. Unfortunately both my husband and I were unable sleep just about every night due to how hot it was in the house.

Great Family Vacation Home

Very spacious house for 2 grandparents, a couple and kids 5 and 8. Everything was easy. We cooked everyday and the kitchen had everything we needed. Bonus that there there was coffee for the first morning, spices and other basics. The pool was a great size, warm and cleaned every Thursday. And the playground and amenities at Mackle Park next door were really great. The office had a Murphy bed which was useful when the kids had to be separated. Would have liked a chest for clothes in the smaller bedrooms. Highly recommend!

Summer Vacation

House is very clean. The kids enjoyed the pool a lot. Grocery store is 4 minutes drive. Beach is about 10 minute drive. The only thing we wished to have was water bottles when we arrived. We got there straight from the airport at midnight. We didn't have a chance to go to grocery store in the middle of the night and we were thirsty. We were looking for water to drink but we didn't find any. We had to boil water from the sink and wait for it to cool down to drink. Overall we had a great vacation and would come back.

Great Getaway

The house was beautiful, the pool was excellent to have, and the location was great! We truly enjoyed the house and where is was located was convenient, but I did get stressed about the rules of towels, pool, taking the garbage cans to the curb, etc. Having to do laundry before we left and making sure everything was taken care of was an extra stress we didn’t need especially since our flight left at 6:30 am. I’ve stayed with other rental companies, but not Vrbo, and have never had these types of rules to deal with so it was a bit of a surprise. I’m still worried I’m going to have extra charges from not doing something correctly.

Response from VrboOwner on Mar 5, 2024
Hi Sheri, thanks for the review, very much appreciated and we are happy to hear you had a great stay. Hopefully I can clarify some of the rules. The cleaning costs includes all of the general items that you would get at a hotel such as bedding and towels, however they do have to have a limit on how much they will clean so 2 people don't use 20 towels for example! So they include 1 towel per person and there is a charge if they have to do more. Having laundry facilities in the house make it convenient if you do over use or to wash the beach towels if they are used. The cleaners look after everything else including hand towels and bath mats so hopefully you didn't interpret that you had to do all of that. We let you know when the garbage bins will be collected so you are able to take you garbage off the property. Unlike a condo building there is no shute that takes it away for you. Obviously its something that we prefer you do, putting the bins on the street so they are collected but its not something that we want you to work your vacation around. The island definitely has a few rules that we as owners need to work with but those are what make the island such a special place to go. For your peace of mind there were no extra charges so no worries there. Its not really VRBO that sets the rules, I believe its each individual owner and while I have heard of some comments of insane expectations that renters are required to do at some properties, I would like to think we have attempted to make your stay as close to 'hotel' like as possible, but working within something that's reasonable. We hope to see you back on the island soon and thanks again for the review.

Some good and some not so good

The check in process with island escapes was a hassle. I wouldn't do a vrbo with a 3rd party rental company again. Check in involved waiting until 4:01 in a large crowd of 30ish angry people. No one responded to communication. Bikes were there and blocked us from using garage, but guests were not allowed to use. No extra pillows and limited towels. Coffee machine broken. The pool was very nice and the location to Mackey park were the best parts of the rental. Overall, I would not rent this unit again and will never rent through marco island escapes again.

Response from VrboOwner on Dec 4, 2023
Thanks Rebecca for the feedback. As it stands now we have moved on from Island Escapes and manage the property ourselves. This should alleviate any issues like you had. Unfortunately we don't own the bikes and they are not always there so we cant allow anyone renting the property to use them, however there is a great bike rental place on the island. As far as the pillows and towels - not sure how I can answer that one. You booked for 2 people and the property sleeps 10. So there is 20 pillows in the house and enough towels for 10 people so there should have been more than adequate supply. Mackle Park is a great spot for sure and the house is certainly in a great location for that access.

Marco 2025

This was our first time staying at this property. We have been coming to Marco for over 15 years.We are a family of four and have a three and one year old.This home had some very big positives and some negatives as well.The positives: Location location location. Close to the beach, close to Mackle park, a five minute drive to any place on the island. The pool was great, and my son loved the burrowing owls that are located across the street.The home was extremely clean and the layout was great. It never felt cramped with 5 people in the home. Once the property was cleaned the owner let us know we were able to check in (almost 3 hours early), which made us very happy and appreciative.The negatives: The kitchen has an older style fridge with no water or ice maker. The hardest part for us to overcome was the temperature of the home. The home struggled to stay comfortable. The mornings were usually great but it would take until 2-3am for the house to cool to 72. With two kids it was difficult putting them down when the home was around 80 degrees inside. All in all we had a great stay with the family.
