Grand Bay (3)

We had a wonderful experience in Marco Island this past July. The rental home offered up everything it describes in the online brochure + more. We stayed for two weeks and hardly left the house because there was no need. We have two kids 8 and 10 and they had a great time swimming whenever they wanted (day and night) we fished off the beautiful expansive dock which was really fun for all of us. We couldn't wait to get out there in the morning to see what we would catch and possibly eat that night . We learned a lot about fishing from the locals--even getting bait at Walgreen's. We caught Grouper, Spanish Mackerel, Snapper and even a small Hammer Head Shark-(which we did throw back) . Sitting on the dock, we watched giant rays doing aerials in the water as well as many dolphin, diving birds and the best was our close encounter with a manatee. We visited Tigertail Beach, rented a boat for the day and of course ate at the Snook Inn (a must) all were within a couple of minutes from the house. When we arrived , the owners called us to check if we needed anything. We love Marco and the house afforded us the opportunity to stay for two weeks in a fabulous location and relax and do whatever we wanted at our own pace and leisure.
