Great Family Trip!

We had a great Christmas Break with our Family! The property was just as advertised, and all communication was seemless. Our weather was a little cool, so we especially enjoyed the heated pool, biking, and paddling around in the protected canals. The house had everything you need when you fly; comfortable furniture, all the kitchen equipment, beach chairs, games, and more. Thanks again!

Great start to the New Year!

We stayed for 2 weeks at this wonderful house on Marco Island. The house was perfect for us and our friends. We enjoyed nightly swims in the heated pool. The house had everything you could possibly want. We had bikes, fishing poles, beach chairs and carts. The owners are great and answered any questions we had prior to and during our stay.

The house is so very comfortable. Convenient to any activities on or off the island. It is such a comfortable, homey place, I had to force myself to go out. Any and all equipment you can think of for recreational fun. We give a double thumbs up to this property and recommend giving it a try.

Perfect home for a family

We loved our stay! The location was perfect. The backyard was so relaxing with the pool and canal. The pool “toy chest” was fully stocked for my kids. The pool basketball hoop was an added bonus! My kids fished off the dock morning and night. The beds were all comfortable. I’d have to say, this was one of the most stocked homes we’ve rented on Vrbo. It had everything we needed! Ralph was very easy to get ahold of too. The check in processes was breeze! We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Ralph!

Merry Marco Christmas!

We loved our stay at this cozy Marco Island vacation home! What a well-appointed, comfortable place! We paid for the pool heating, and it was totally worth it! Pool floats, goggles, and some pool toys were included. The house is a close walk to the beach, and my kids really appreciated the bikes that made it even quicker to get there. There is an air compressor in the garage to use to blow up the bike tires. The boys in the group really enjoyed fishing in the canal right off the dock, and also close by at Caxamby Park. The beds were comfortable, and the house had everything we needed. This house was great for our little family of 4, but would also be great for small groups. The master is on one side of the house, and the bunk room and additional bedroom were on the other side. Wifi and cell coverage were great. Stay here, you won't be disappointed!

Perfect home with all you need

I brought my six and nine year old daughters for a week during their school break while my husband had to work. It was perfect. The pool is warm and beautiful. We cooked a lot of fun recipes from their Disney cookbook and the kitchen had everything we needed. We enjoyed playing games on the screened in porch. We enjoyed eating dinner on the dock while watching creatures in the green light. We loved riding the scooters to beach. House had all the beach chairs, towels and toys you need. Girls especially had fun in the bunk bed room. They used all the beds and made forts with the bottom ones. We had a great dolphin tour with Florida Adventure Rentals. 10-12 dolphins swam with us in our wake for probably 20-25 minutes total. Ralph was always responsive quickly and helpful. One of our best VRBO experiences if not the best. Owners are very generous in how they share their home and belongings with strangers. Thank you!

Cozy waterfront home

We really enjoyed our stay at this property! I don’t think the pictures capture it well. It’s a very cozy, well appointed home. The lanai and outdoor space are great. We loved swimming in the large pool, as well as, eating meals at the spacious outdoor dining table. We also enjoyed sitting on the dock in the mornings, with our coffee, and at night, watching the sunset and stargazing. The location is great..close to the beach, restaurants, market, shops. Ralph and Linda provide everything you need, from bicycles to a citrus juicer. We also really enjoyed kayaking right off the dock. Ralph was very accessible to answer any questions we had during our stay. I highly recommend this property.

Couldn’t have asked for anything more. Great kitchen to cook our dinners, plenty of restaurants nearby if dining out. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Loved being on a canal.
