Sea turtle Escape

Overall i thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Sea Turtle. The home was very comfortable, loved the pool and backyard! The only issue was the air conditioning that didn’t really cool the house down during the day when the temperature got really hot outside.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 Aug, 2023
Thank you for your review and glad you enjoyed your stay! Starting June through early August 2023, Marco Island, like the rest of southern part of the US, has been experiencing a record-setting heatwave. The temperature from mid to late afternoon does go up inside but from about early evening to mid-morning, it stays at the set temp. Improvements are coming mid-August 2023 including new ductwork and insulation in the attic which will help the system's efficiency. It's important to note that AC systems in Florida are rated to maintain a 16-19 degree split meaning that if it is 100 degrees outside and it is 81-84 degrees inside, the AC system is operating as designed.

Comfortable and convenient to everything

We spent six weeks at the Sea Turtle; our grown children each visited for short stays. None of us felt crowded in the house. There is heavy traffic on Collier Blvd, but Sea Turtle is amazingly quiet, and traffic noise was not a distraction in the private backyard and pool. We were able to get out and walk most days; the house is near many shops, and the surrounding residential streets all have sidewalks as well. The property manager was responsive to all our questions and prompt in addressing concerns.

Hidden Paradise!!

This location was absolutely fantastic. Do not let the street proximity fool you, it was very quiet. Even the bedroom nearest the road had no issues with noise. The house was well kept and clean. Great stock of pool and beach items in the garage. We were able to walk to several local restaurants and shops. For those locations further away, we drove which was really easy. Or you could rent golf carts to get around. We did daily excursions to fish, hit the beach, Keewaydin Island, shelling,... And every time we returned; we dove right into that pool only jumping out to go get dinner. Lots of great places to eat! Or make the trek back up the coast to Naples for some finer dining and shopping. Now back to the back yard. It was fenced it really well. My doggos loved it and I was not concerned at all that they would get out. The seating area was fantastic, and the yard was well maintained. Did I mention the pool?! It was awesome. Various noodles and flotation items in the garage. We soaked for hours day and night! It was always hard to get out. The salt water was perfect. The temperature was perfect. We played games and had a blast. My grumpy teenagers (aren't they all) who seldom find that parents do anything correctly, felt this was the best vacation we had ever taken, and they made it clear that it was because of the house and pool. Relaxing, fun and quiet spiced up by the activities. Definitely a do again vacation, and absolutely this house!

Amazing find on North Collier Blvd

The property was as advertised and just as the photos depicted. It was very clean and you felt that you were at home. While located on North Collier which tends to be a very busy road it was very quiet inside the house. When you were in the backyard you felt like you were out in the country as we didn't hear the traffic. Our kids loved the inground pool in the backyard. It allowed for swimming day and night and is well lit with lighting in the pool and around the patio space. The family enjoyed the fire pit in the backyard and lounge chairs. There were also rafts/floats to enjoy in the pool. The pool has a shallow section at is a little under three feet deep and goes a little over six feet at its deepest point. You can gain access to the pool through the master bedroom bathroom (second door) or the family room area. The house was equipped for cooking and we used both the flat iron grill outside along with the stove for some meals. All the appliances worked well. The house has a great wifi connection and is equipped with a Sonos sound system and Amazon Alexa. We were able to park one of our cars in the garage and the property has a nice turnaround pad to park a second car and to make it easier to make the right on North Collier vs. having to back up into traffic. The house is pet friendly and we brought along our small cavapoo, purchased a left behind a dog crate as we crated our pet when we went somewhere that wasn't dog friendly. There are a number of restaurants on the island that have outdoor patios that are pet friendly. No dogs at any of the beaches though. The floors are tile throughout the home so no worries of scratches and our dog loved the cool tiles in the kitchen as we had the classic Florida 90 degree days. We enjoyed Mark and Sarah's hospitality. They were very responsive to our request and can see why they get high marks with their properties. We have already booked our return visit in 2022 and look forward to coming back.

Wonderful dog-friendly and family-friendly property!

Our family of five (+dog) loved our stay at the Sea Turtle! The property was clean, nicely decorated and landscaped, and stocked with everything we needed. It was conveniently located on the main drag of Collier Blvd., but street noise surprisingly wasn't an issue as the house was pretty well soundproofed. We spent most of our time in the backyard and it was amazing. The pool was great (definitely ask ahead what the temp is or just have it heated if during the off-season), and the backyard was equipped with everything: a flat top grill, dining table, lounge chairs, umbrellas, fire pit and seating area, and pool toys. The yard felt very spacious for the size of the lot, plenty of grass, and it was very private with the fence and all the palms. The garage was large and there was an additional concrete slab outside to park or turn around. All beach gear was also included: chairs, umbrella, canopy, wagon, toys, etc. The inside included Amazon Alexa products, Fire TVs in the bedroom, three Sonos speakers, and a large Roku TV in the living room. The kitchen included all utensils/dishes/bakeware/appliances you'd need for your stay, and all starter items were almost enough to get us through six days: trash bags, paper towel, TP, dish soap, dishwasher pods, and laundry detergent. There was a basket of beach towels, which was great, because we went through them like crazy getting in and out of the pool all day. We understand that people come each week for pool and yard maintenance, and know they sometimes just show up whenever, but my only suggestion for management is see if they're able to communicate with you when they'll be there if guests are going to be there so the guests can be made aware. We were all in the pool enjoying ourselves when the pool person showed up in the backyard unexpectedly and we all had to get out. Overall, we absolutely loved our stay and it was perfect for us and our three kiddos (4, 3, 10 mos). We were so grateful we were able to bring our dog along, which was one of the main reasons we chose this property. Mark was a great host and very responsive and helpful, and we would definitely book with Mark/iTrip again. We are already planning another trip for the spring! Thanks for helping to make our first trip to Marco Island such a wonderful experience!

Thank you for that wonderful and detailed review, Samantha!!! Regarding the pool and landscapers, we do not control their schedules so they come at different times of the day and sometimes different days of the week depending on the weather. As of this review, the current schedule has the landscaper there every Thursday and the pool person there every Friday. Glad you took advantage of everything the owners have provided for guests' use and they pride themselves on making sure the house has just about everything a guest could want/need for an amazing stay. We look forward to your return trip and it is great to hear your first time on Marco Island was a success!

Nice house for a family vacation

We stayed at the house for 5 days. Nice house, 3 comfortable bedrooms. Main bedroom with bathroom inside which has access to the pool area too so one could use it during the day while outside. Other bathroom is inside the house and it's shared by other 2 rooms. House is located on a main avenue so I could get a little noisy while being at the pool in the back of the house but nothing important. 10 min drive to the beach and really close to supermarkets, shops and restaurants

Beautiful Property/Felt Like a Prisoner

First off let me start with saying that Marco Island was beautiful and we loved it. My wife and 16 year old daughter and me stayed at the house with my two sisters and brother in law. All over the age of fifty except for our 16 year old. After checking in to the property and deciding to go for a swim, out we went. Within ten minutes of swimming we received this text from the property manager "I’m getting a noise alert from the lanai and wanted to make sure you are aware of the 24 hour noise ordinance on Marco. If the cops are called, you’ll be facing a fine. Thank you in advance for your cooperation." We were totally shocked because all that we had causing noise was normal conversation and a very small Bluetooth speaker. After investigating we discovered that there were sensors measuring noise levels on the property. Which is not cool. We all felt like "what else are they listening to". Shame on them. I fully understand that their are noise ordinances on Marco Island that the property manager clearly states in the welcome book. But if you read the ordinance it states that you cannot have more than a normal adult conversation that can be heard from the neighbors home. Which is 50 feet away. "WOW" how is that for a vacation killer. Beautiful pool that you can't enjoy due to not being able to communicate above a normal adult conversation... next was the air conditioning. If you require temperature to be cooler than 76 degrees during daylight hours, "you are out of luck" the guest information book clearly states that you cannot turn the temperature below 72 degrees. Because they are controlling it. Temperature never got below 76 degrees inside the house during daylight hours and never below 72 during the night, so hot nobody could sleep at night. If you can live with this, and feel it is acceptable that your temperature comfort level is being controlled by the property manager then you will be fine. If not, stay elsewhere. And why did i pay a cleaning fee when it is clearly stated that if you leave more than a load of laundry that I will be charged. Not acceptable, why am I paying a cleaning fee if I am doing all the cleaning. Pool was cleaned on our last day at the property. It shocked us to discover that the pool had been so dirty and green. Let me end by saying that this is a beautiful property with loads of potential, but I won't ever be staying here again.
Response from VrboOwner on 10 Aug, 2021
Thank you for your review and we are glad you enjoyed your time on Marco Island. Regarding the noise sensors, they are there to protect the neighbors’ right to the peaceful enjoyment of their homes as well as protect our guests from false claims and from getting a visit/fines from the police. Most guests are appreciative of our attempts to protect them and their hard earned money but clearly you feel differently. Also, your version of events is inaccurate to put it kindly and I “have the receipts.” When the sensor alerted me, the noise level, which is on a scale from 0-100, ranged between 80-100 from 5:00-5:45pm. I had never seen a sustained level of noise that high before and since I live close by the house, I decided to check it out firsthand to make sure there wasn’t a problem with the sensor. I parked one block away, which was at least 150 feet from the backyard and I could hear plain as day Sister Hazel’s “All For You” blaring from your “very small Bluetooth speaker” as well as your voices engaged in “normal conversation,” which were well above the 66 decibel level set by the City of Marco Island. Suffice it to say, had I not alerted you, you would have gotten a visit from the police. To be clear, the sensors only capture noise levels, not conversations, and are in compliance with privacy laws, VRBO and other booking platforms. Regarding the AC, your review is the first I am hearing of any issue. The AC was operating just fine and I will explain why for the benefit of those reading this review. HVAC systems are designed to maintain a 16-20 degree temperature split meaning if it is 95 degrees outside, which is what it was during your stay, 75-79 degrees is what you can reasonably expect an HVAC system to cool to. Considering you had 6 people in the house, were likely cooking, opening and closing the slider to the pool letting in the hot, humid summer air, the system performed exactly as it was designed to. The owner set thresholds to prevent guests from cranking down the temperature, freezing the condenser which would leave you without AC for 1-2 days of your stay. Had you reached out to me, I could have explained all this and worked with you. Regarding the cleaning, you also misspoke: we ask guests not to leave more than 2 loads of laundry for the cleaners. Let me end by saying this property enjoys fantastic reviews on multiple booking sites we take pride in making sure it is clean, well-organized and being responsive to our guests during their stay.

Sea Turtle

My family and I very much enjoyed our stay at the Sea Turtle in Marco Island. The house was exactly as pictured. The backyard pool was just what we were looking for to be able to enjoy the Florida sunshine in the afternoons while our granddaughter napped. The water temp was fantastic and the pool chairs were really nice. We also enjoyed the outdoor dining area and fire pit. It was definitely a bonus to have the beach chairs, wagon, and beach toys for our couple of excursions to the beach during our stay. It is very close to dining and grocery etc. We walked several times for a smoothie, coffee, or ice cream. Would definitely recommend! One thing that was not mentioned is that the front drive comes off a very busy street. Not a huge deal as you didn’t hear it in the house or backyard much and had a turnaround area so you didn’t need to back into traffic but something we didn’t expect.

SeaTurtle is awesome!

The SeaTurtle VRBO was perfect! From the moment you stepped in, we could tell it was a great house -- it smelled FRESH & CLEAN, everything was exactly as the pictures portraited on VRBO with a couple of surprises. The HOUSE was BETTER THAN EXPECTED: COMFY beds, Nicely Decorated LIVING SPACE, great WiFi, ALEXA in every room, SONOS Speakers in multiple rooms, and a perfect kitchen set-up (but who cooks on vaca?) GREAT OUTDOOR SPACE --with FIREPIT, awesome BBQ, and most important the 4 LOUNGE CHAIRS for tanning, COOLER, Another surprise is the HEATED SALTWATER POOL... THANK YOU (We hate chlorine) The BEACH CART/CHAIRS/TOYS in the garage were PERFECT and saved us money & time OVERALL 5 STARS: AFFORDABLE and large enough to ACCOMMODATE a family of 6 - 7 and CONVENIENT to all the sites on Marco. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
