This property was the perfect place for my family’s Marco Island getaway! It is tucked perfectly into the north side of the island, in a very pleasant residential area, making it the ultimate location to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. This “must see” property is designed with maximum comfort in mind. There are so many details which make this home desirable, that I don’t know if I could fit them all into one review. The generous assortment of beach toys and chairs were well enjoyed by my son, as were the pool floats and diving toys. He spent HOURS enjoying the lanai area and pool. The hot tub was a favorite of my husband and teenaged daughter, and quickly became our spot to wind down, and regroup in the evening. As a mother and a planner, I LOVED the assortment of beautiful appliances available. It made meal planning a breeze, and the availability of a full sized washer and dryer were a god-send. This is the perfect rental for a responsible family, who values their privacy. We loved Tigertail and South Beach. Both sections of beach offered the special brand of magic that only the gulf can bring. Tigertail Beach is less than a 5 minute drive from the house, though you definitely could walk to it if you chose to do so. South Beach is a slightly longer ride, but not by much. Daily parking fees at the beach are $8, and you can swap between beach parking lots, which makes it really easy to hop between beaches if you choose to do so.
Traveling during a pandemic was a new experience for my family, as it is for all of us in 2020. Any red flags I was worried about soon melted away when we arrived at an immaculate house. Ken & Arloa’s housekeepers did an exceptional job of providing us with a clean and healthy environment to stay in. Arloa and I had multiple conversations via email and text before and during our stay. She was very easy to communicate with. She gave me some wonderful recommendations for things to try and see in the area, and they did not disappoint. I sincerely appreciate her kindness, and how easy she made it for us to enjoy our stay. My family would love to be return renters in the future, and I have already recommended this property to friends and family who have expressed interest in Marco Island. Thank you again, Arloa, for helping my family have such a wonderful and overdue vacation! My only regret was not choosing to stay longer.
