Fantastic home

House is very comfortable to spend our week of vacation. Furniture is very comfortable, all of good quality. Most of the basic items, paper good and some pantry staples are stocked. Even the laundry detergent is provided. Everything you could want or need. Good wifi, tvs in all the bedrooms. Plenty of space for all to spread out. The number one is the heated pool and spa all enclosed with a wonderful lanai. It was our go to spot to eat meals pool side with the sound of the waterfall. I missed this most when we returned home. Short walk to public beach access ( around 1/2 mile). Plenty of beach equip in good working condition along with 4 bikes. Super easy check in process. Love this house, already rebooked for next year.

Impeccable!

This was our first time staying at this property in Marco. WOW! We knew the location was great and the pool, spa and lanai were key features, but the house itself blew us away. So well-stocked and organized. The decor and design is high end. We've stayed in many VRBOs, but this one is hands down the best! Thanks for having us!

The Best VRBO

We have rented homes before. Not only is this home gorgeous, well appointed and immaculately clean, its location is very convenient to the beach, restaurants and in a quiet neighborhood. Plus the property manager was helpful and responsive

Thorough

This property was great. Short walk to the beach, and they thought of the things a family with young children would need. The toddler pack N play was great for our 18 month old. They even had a monitor and a high chair for use. The pool toys were a hit with our sons as well. The property was very clean and working with Melissa, the property manager, was excellent. We are looking forward to staying there again in the future.

I almost hate to give a recommendation because then it will always be booked!!!

This home is a fabulous rental with a 5 minute walk to the beach and is centrally located by so many great restaurants. The owners take meticulous care of their home, pool, and property. The pictures do not do justice because it is even better in-person compared to the photos on VRBO. There were so many supplies that is worth taking the time to check-in prior to going to the grocery store because most likely you will not need any kitchen supplies other than what you’re planning on cooking during your stay. The property manager immediately responds to any questions within seconds. We had an absolutely enjoyable time at this extremely clean and cared for property as a family of 3 with ample amount of room to spread out or hang out together. Thank you to the owners, Joan and John as well as the phenomenal property manager extraordinaire, Melissa Bohnsack. We look forward to returning and will be sure to recommend this property to family and friends. With Gratitude, The Fedus Family, Inverness, Illinois

Wonderful Home!

We absolutely loved our stay this past week at this home. It was the best VRBO we’ve stayed in. The location is awesome and we walked to the public beach access. The home has everything you could think of for a great week whether you want to visit the beach, relax by the pool, ride bikes, walk to great restaurants, etc. our family of 5 had plenty of room and all accommodations were spot on. Thank you to management for finding and shipping my son’s AirPods he left behind. We definitely will rent this home again when we return to Marco Island in the future.

Did not disappoint!

I can’t say enough about this house. We have stayed in Marco for the last ten years and have had great rentals. This one is definitely one of the best. The house is clean and inviting. The location was perfect for us- walking distance to the restaurants and the beach. Our teenagers enjoyed the pool, hot tub, bikes, and the proximity to the beach. We were very impressed with the attention to detail and all of the extras this house provided. They have thought of everything. We very much enjoyed our time at this home- thank you for the wonderful experience. Melissa, the property manager, was excellent as well!! Would definitely come back!

Anniversary Trip to Marco

Excellent property and location. Would stay there again. House was perfect, clean, well appointed, and ample size. Pool and hot tub were great and very private. Very close to beach with a bit of a walk, made easy by the beach supplies; cart, umbrellas, chairs and coolers. Easy to use instructions for house and other amenities. Very convenient to multiple restaurants; highly recommend DaVinci's. No complaints what so ever, can't wait to go back!

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Bohnsack

Our family vacations have always been centered on Sun, Sand and Surf. We were fortunate to visit many beach towns around the world, enjoying each place and their local cultures. Opinions were gathered and a wish list formed for that day when our dream home might become a possibility. Forty years later we felt Marco Island pulling hard at our heartstrings! We found this area had so much to offer our family and friends. It is truly all here, unique beaches, estuaries, the nearby Everglades, great dining experiences, spiritual well-being, water activities galore and kind, friendly locals. We found the town safe, clean and so easy to navigate. Marco's standard is obviously appreciated by those who visit only to return again. So it all came together for us in 2017 when we agreed Marco Island was to be our slice of paradise. All our excursions leading us to this decision were packed full of treasured memories but we feel many more family memories are yet to come on beautiful Marco Island!

Why they chose this property

Location! This home is extremely convenient to most everything Marco Island has to offer. Adults and children alike can manage the five minute walk to the south beach access. Restaurants, shops, salons, miniature golf, ice cream and much more are all along the way. Another benefit, the pool area receives the much-desired southern exposure, allowing for longer days on the lanai. Also, the property manager, Melissa, is a longtime resident who lives in close proximity, allowing her to facilitate any concerns which may arise. A beautiful home situated in a terrific area of Marco Island!

What makes this property unique

We purchased this privately owned home in May 2017 and shortly began the vacation rental conversion. The home is situated on a large raised corner lot surrounded by palm trees, and lush greenery. You'll find this to be in a quiet section of town, yet very close to the south beach access. There were updates made to the kitchen and to the laundry room, also added were newly purchased Smart TV's, bedding, linens, kitchen supplies, etc. We have provided starter supplies for guests including paper products, spices, garbage bags, soaps and more. The lanai is equipped with a new gas grill, and you'll find an extra propane tank located in the garage. There is parking on site for several cars and garage parking is also a possibility. This home has door alarms, a fenced lawn area and coded garage door openers for your comfort. A Bruno wheelchair lift is available for those using a wheelchair to access the home. However, there are portable steps also available for individuals who do not require a lift. This home is not the typical rental property but unique in amenities, home quality and location.
