With 3 working adult children, we always look forward to not buying gifts and to relaxing in the sunshine instead of shopping. This was our second December trip to Marco and first stay at the Marino's home. Overall, I would highly recommend this property for several reasons. The location is unbeatable for Marco Island. It is close to the beach access, restaurants, shopping, and more, but it is on a quiet street with very little traffic. The home was spotless, the pool and hot tub were perfect for the cool weather, and the amenities are numerous and cover all the bases as far as my family was concerned. Gary, the owner, was very quick to respond to all my questions and concerns. The only small gripe I have is with the listing and pricing for 6 guests, which is how many we had in our party. Anywhere over 4 guests incurs an additional $30 per night surcharge, which I feel should be more prominent on the listing information rather than a the very bottom of the listing. It doesn't break the bank and the unit is priced fairly, but as I said, it's a gripe. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return the next time we visit Marco Island. Would highly recommend.
