About this property

South Exposure 5 min walk to Beach, JW Marriott, Heated Pool, Free Bikes, Pet OK

READ THE REVIEWS FIRST! Believe it... you'll stay at one of the closest houses to the central (best) public beach entrance! You will love how quick the walk is to the main attraction: Marco Island’s 6 mile long white sand beach, calm, warm gulf water and endless collectible shells! Just a short 5 minute walk to the beach and the JW Marriott Resort and Spa. Spacious yet cozy 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, one-of-a-kind Key West style house brimming with old Florida charm, landscaped with native and Florida friendly plant species. This house is the perfect backdrop for your tropical island getaway. Sit back and relax by the huge southern exposure heated screened-in pool at this seaside cottage fully stocked for your vacation in paradise. Much more than a hotel room or a bare bones rental, every room has been specially curated with guests in mind.
Full size soaps, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryers, ice maker, coolers, kitchen wares, (even waffle irons!) and decorated in casual coastal style with touches of whimsy, original art, Wi-Fi, games, books, magazines and puzzles.
Three unique bedrooms each with cable and smart TVs with streaming apps, private bathrooms and bidets on every toilet. Ample toilet paper, towels, bath bombs, bubble bath, full size shampoo, conditioner, body wash, make up remover cloths and hairdryers in every bathroom. Forgot a toothbrush? Need an aspirin? Extras of the necessities are always complimentary.
Master bedroom has Cal king pillow top hybrid bed (longer than regular king) and a 55” smart tv. Main floor guest suite has 2 queen beds - one hybrid plush mattress, one tempurpedic, and upstairs open loft suite has king size bed and 2 convertible couches that open into twin beds. Projector with Roku tv and all the apps. Extension cords next to beds to accommodate chargers.
Feed and be mesmerized by the tropical fish in the 60 gallon saltwater reef tank. Play the piano! Rock on the front porch and relax on the spacious back porch then take a leisurely dip in the wrap-around heated pool (no extra heating charge! 88 degrees in winter, or warmer in summer, just like the JW Marriott) Pool towels and floats provided, 2 outdoor dining spaces by pool and gas grill. Outdoor shower with hot and cold water.
Need to work on vacay? No problem. New fiber optic Wi-Fi is complimentary... And you will have the best zoom meeting backgrounds ever!
Laundry room with ample supplies. Whole house Kinetico water dechlorinator and softener, for soft skin and hair. Kitchen additionally has reverse osmosis under-sink water purifier that also makes ice cubes. Guests can expect all the comforts of home: laundry detergent, dish soap, hand soap, cleaning products, paper towels, garbage bags, and more. Both Keurig and Mr. Coffee makers with coffee pods, coffee, assorted teas, creamer, sugar, local honey, assorted sweeteners.

About the host

Hosted by Becky Irwin

Host profile image
I am a realtor with designations as a Marco Island Specialist and Resort and Second Property Specialist on Marco Island. I originally lived on Marco Island as a child in the early 1980's. My family moved from Marco to Ft. Lauderdale in 1983 and I grew up there, raised my family there and finally, in 2013 had the good fortune to return to my childhood home on Marco Island. This is a magical place - it was wonderful to be a kid here and even more wonderful to enjoy this slice of paradise as an adult. I volunteer at the Museum, at the cat shelter, at the Art Center and for 2 women's clubs on the Island. I also served as an elected official on the city council. My job as a realtor allows me to share my love of the island with folks who have decided to invest in my favorite place on earth and in most cases, my clients become my great friends and neighbors!

Why they chose this property

This unique island style of this home is vastly different from most houses on Marco that can look more "suburban" than "island." I fell in love with its charm, metal roof, huge porches, screened, heated pool and open floorplan. I've decorated it with comfort and relaxation in mind. I have a 60 gallon saltwater fish tank that I could sit and watch for hours. Guests enjoy feeding my colorful tame creatures!

What makes this property unique

This house has lots of little interesting features. The third bedroom is a loft at the top of a spiral staircase. Two convertible couches make a fun sitting area, then change into two twin beds in addition to a super comfy king bed. A projector turns the loft into a fun theater room too! Each bathroom has a shower as well as a bidet on each toilet. The yard is landscaped with drought resistant succulents and Florida-friendly plants and has no grass, but loose Chatahoochee stone. So close to the beach, but no sand in the house! There is an outdoor shower with hot and cold water to be sure everyone leaves the grit outside. Guests always remark that "it's even better than the photos!"
