All we can say is book here, you will not regret it! We first used VRBO for an Ocean City, MD vacation last year and thought we had the best place then; we were wrong! The bathrooms are a little dated, think 90s or early 2000s, BUT the rest of the house is BEAUTIFUL and it is extremely clean. Had a few minor issues the first day, and Horizons was prompt, courteous, and took care of everything. The two story patio with lanai is gorgeous! Bathroom access from the pool, which is a must. The patio has a breakfast bar with kitchen window access, great for drinks and meals. My daughter pretended she was at a poolside restaurant. House is beyond spacious, though we spent all our time outside relaxing on the covered patio or in the pool. Rafts and pool toys are at the house. Kitchen is well equipped with all you need for meal prep. The garage has every beach amenity you could need: toys, chairs,
umbrellas, coolers, a wagon, not to mention bikes and helmets. You won't need the bikes for the beach, you get a parking pass for the Horizons parking lot which is the closest you can get to the public access Beach. You are also in the heart of everything at this home, while still having peace and quiet. Walk or drive to main restaurants, putt putt, and the JW for their sunset fire show. We also recommend the Dolphin Explorer Tour, Paddle Marco, Doreens, Empire Bagels, DaVincis, Marco Prime, Nacho Mamas, and the Dolce Mare chocolate and gelato shop in that same plaza. Snook Inn is more of a bar, very crowded, but definitely good if you like fish; I recommend the grouper! All in all, if you want to enjoy Marco Island without the noise and chaos of a hotel, this is your home away from home.
