Island’s Best! 5 min walk to Beach, JW Marriott, Heated Pool, Free Bikes, Pet OK

READ THE REVIEWS FIRST! Believe it... you'll stay at one of the closest houses to the central (best) public beach entrance! You will love how quick the walk is to the main attraction: Marco Island’s 6 mile long white sand beach, calm, warm gulf water and endless collectible shells! Just a short 5 minute walk to the beach and the JW Marriott Resort and Spa. Spacious yet cozy 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, one-of-a-kind Key West style house brimming with old Florida charm, landscaped with native and Florida friendly plant species. This house is the perfect backdrop for your tropical island getaway. Sit back and relax by the huge southern exposure heated screened-in pool at this seaside cottage fully stocked for your vacation in paradise. Much more than a hotel room or a bare bones rental, every room has been specially curated with guests in mind.
Full size soaps, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryers, ice maker, coolers, kitchen wares, (even waffle irons!) and decorated in casual coastal style with touches of whimsy, original art, Wi-Fi, games, books, magazines and puzzles.
Three unique bedrooms each with cable and smart TVs with streaming apps, private bathrooms and bidets on every toilet. Ample toilet paper, towels, bath bombs, bubble bath, full size shampoo, conditioner, body wash, make up remover cloths and hairdryers in every bathroom. Forgot a toothbrush? Need an aspirin? Extras of the necessities are always complimentary.
Master bedroom has Cal king pillow top hybrid bed (longer than regular king) and a 55” smart tv. Main floor guest suite has 2 queen beds - one hybrid plush mattress, one tempurpedic, and upstairs open loft suite has king size bed and 2 convertible couches that open into twin beds. Projector with Roku tv and all the apps. Extension cords next to beds to accommodate chargers.
Feed and be mesmerized by the tropical fish in the 60 gallon saltwater reef tank. Play the piano! Rock on the front porch and relax on the spacious back porch then take a leisurely dip in the wrap-around heated pool (no extra heating charge! 88 degrees in winter, or warmer in summer, just like the JW Marriott) Pool towels and floats provided, 2 outdoor dining spaces by pool and gas grill. Outdoor shower with hot and cold water.
Need to work on vacay? No problem. New fiber optic Wi-Fi is complimentary... And you will have the best zoom meeting backgrounds ever!
Laundry room with ample supplies. Whole house Kinetico water dechlorinator and softener, for soft skin and hair. Kitchen additionally has reverse osmosis under-sink water purifier that also makes ice cubes. Guests can expect all the comforts of home: laundry detergent, dish soap, hand soap, cleaning products, paper towels, garbage bags, and more. Both Keurig and Mr. Coffee makers with coffee pods, coffee, assorted teas, creamer, sugar, local honey, assorted sweeteners.
Pool and beach towels, beach chairs, toys, cooler, picnic basket, umbrella. Six (6) bikes with baskets, lights and bells. Full size fridge and freezer in garage. Full use of garage for parking encouraged.
All linens including blankets and comforters are washed and bleached / sanitized between each and every guest without exception. Entire house is professionally cleaned and sanitized between guests.
Less than 1/8 mile to beach access (5 minute walk), 1/2 mile to shopping, restaurants, movie theater, JW Marriott and Hilton hotels. Look at the photos, read the reviews and make your Marco Island memories here. Special requests welcome. Your host will gladly share local recommendations. 100 miles to Miami (MIA) and Fort Lauderdale (FLL) International Airports. 45 miles to Fort Myers Airport (RSW), 7 miles to Marco Executive Airport (MKY), 26 miles to Naples Municipal Airport (NAA)

Great First Time to Marco Island
Great house - the owner was gracious enough to meet us at check-in and give us a tour as well as introduce us to the wide array of tropical fish in the fish tank! The house has enough bikes coolers/beach carts/toys etc. that you don't really need to bring anything!

Memorable Stay
Becky was a perfect host—helpful, responsive, and always available. The large, heated pool was fantastic. The supplies—and leftover food items—were more than adequate. Provided bikes and swim accessories was another plus. The only concerns were a long, open spiral staircase to an upstairs room that was open to the rest of the house—and the Island’s very strict noise restrictions.

Wisconsin spring breakers
We usually travel to the panhandle for spring break and this was our first trip to Marco. We have a bigger family so vrbos work better for family time then a hotel room. The proximity to the beach was perfect for our daily walks and runs. The house was clean and our host was very accommodating and attentive. The pool and porch were great for days that we didn’t want to stay at the beach all day and outdoor grill worked well. We hope to return to Marco and this vacation home

Great House, great Location!
The house was great and you can’t beat the location! The house came with everything you could possibly need-beach chairs, beach toys, cooler and cart to make it easy to go to beach. House also had games and puzzles and a beautiful fish tank that my son loved watching! I would definitely love to stay there again.

Wonderful Family Vacation!
Becky is a very nice and accommodating host that makes you feel at home from the second you arrive. Her house is clean and cozy with all amenities you may need. My husband and I traveled for the first time with our two young children and the house met our every need. All 4 of us had the best time! Would absolutely stay again.
