Favorite Stay Of Our Entire Time In FL

Kristen's home was our favorite vacation stay during our month long hop down the Gulf Coast of FL. The property was in prestine condition with all needed amenities provided and walkable and or bikable proximity to the beach and our favorite restaurants. We'll look to book Kristen's house for future reservations, anytime we stay in Marco Island.

Wonderful week on Mendel

Loved our stay. The house is great - awesome location to walk to the beach with all amenities you could need. The house was ready early and we were informed of that so we could check in early which was perfect. The host was very responsive too any questions we had. We will enjoy staying again in the future.

A great family stay in Marco

We stayed with our family that included two small kids and two big kids. The swimming pool was a massive hit and we used it pretty much every day, but one of the biggest pluses was having access to the bikes and the beach gear. We made full use of the bikes whilst we stayed, cycling all over the island - much to the glee of our 6 year old son!

Beach block on Mendel is a great place. It is close to the beach and all the restaurants. We had a great time staying at the house and enjoying the pool. There is a lot of room for your guests to enjoy also. Kristen is a special person, she is always available to answer questions.

A wonderful stay

We had great communication with Kristin. She provided us with tons of information about activities, restaurants, etc. The house was exactly as described and ideal for our Thanksgiving week. We prepared a lot of meals and found a well-equipped kitchen and pantry. Comfortable beds and nicely laid-out bathrooms made our stay perfect. We wouldn't hesitate to rent from Kristin again.

Great Place to Stay!

I've been staying here for the past several years. My family and I love the place and always enjoy it. The home is roomy and the pool is great. Walking or biking to the beach is very handy with the location of this home. The owner was always prompt with communication. I would recommend this home to anyone. Marco Island is my home away from home and we look forward to visiting every year!!

Beach block on Mendel was perfect!

This 4 bed home is equipped with everything our family needed! The home is spacious with 2 living areas and 3 king beds! We loved the bunk room too. It is perfect for adults and small children! We spent many hours on the lanai, playing the monkey game (amongst other games found in the home) and of course loved the 8 minute walk to the beautiful beach! Kristin was a great host who checked in with us periodically!
