Amazing stay on Marco Island! Host communicated clearly with check in/out instructions. Home was beautiful and comfortable proving us everything we could possibly need. Pool and canal view is beautiful and we used all week. Location was close to everything we needed on the island. Clean/well appointed just as listed. We could not recommend more. Book it!

Can't say enough good things about this place! By far the best equipped house I've ever rented. We enjoyed paddling the kayaks and fishing in the canal and riding the bikes. Great location and layout, and so comfortable and well appointed. The host really went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend!

This place was everything that was pictured in so much more. The owner, john, was so easy to deal with and fix any issues that we had immediately. The sea shelling around was unbelievable and I found a seashell the size of my head.

Great house, well appointed

My friend and our brought our 11 year old kids here for a long weekend. We were impressed with how well appointed the house was. The kitchen had everything you need (the knives were dull, but what VRBO house actually has knives that work? ;) The pool was great, the beds were decently comfortable, there were plenty of towels, and the garage had everything we needed for a day at the beach. The house really isn't comfortable walking distance to the beach, especially if you have a lot of stuff you're bringing. But we drove, paid for day parking, and did't complain about it because Marco Island overall is a dream. We also loved the life-size Jenga! The owner was quick to get back to us with answers to all our questions. Overall a good experience.

Would stay here again

Had a great time spending 4 nights here after staying 4 nights at the JW Marriott. For a family of 5 this place has plenty of room to spread out and the pool was very nice. Water access was also a plus for my son who loves to fish. Owner was excellent to work with and very accommodating and accessible. Plenty of toys in the garage for beach, pool, biking, kayaking, etc. All the kitchen stuff you need if you prefer to eat in.

Marco Island - Must go!

If you haven't been to Marco Island, you must go! Awesome trip with my teenage kids. House is clean, well equipped, and John is a pleasure to work with. Bikes were key for us as it is only a 4 minute ride to the beach (no car parking available). Pool was also very relaxing and clean. Rented a boat for a day and was able to use the dock at the house to load up our supplies. If you rent a boat, stop by the southern tip of Keewaydin Island to shore the boat and meet new friends - probably the highlight of our trip!

Great property

This property was clean and there was plenty of space for our family of 5. We enjoyed the pool, deck, and whole house. We didn't walk to the beach but one person dropped everyone off with our stuff and then that person dropped the car at home and rode a bike to the beach. It's a very easy and enjoyable bike ride. John's suggestions for beach entry and for resturants were extremely helpful.

Great vacation

Everything thing about our rental was perfect. It was myself, husband, 2 kids (11&13), and my parents. Plenty of space for everyone. We loved the pool and we walked to the beach. My son fished off the back dock and me and my husband went for long walks in the neighborhood every morning. The house has everything you need for cooking, we were able to cook entire Thanksgiving dinner. Lots of beach towels so don’t bring those. Very clean and the owner is very easy to work with.

We currently have our kids enrolled in the local schools on the island and I am a practicing realtor working at Premiere Plus Realty and own several vacation rentals on the island. I have over 20 years of experience selling real estate and managing rental properties in MN and Marco Island so if you any questions, ask away!
