NEW! Modern Marco Island Retreat w/ Private Pool!

Reviews

• Great house on Marco Island

  5/5

  We stayed in the house for a few days while we were in town for a business meeting. The house is really cute and had everything we needed. It is clean and well maintained and the decor is very warm and friendly and very Florida. . It was a few weeks after Hurricane Ian and we were worried about damage but the owner contacted me directly to keep me on the loop. The property did not incur damage but the pool had to be cleaned, which was done in advance of our visit. . It was a great experience and we would recommend it to others. The house is on stilts with stairs so renters should note that.

• A Good Fit for our Group - Owner Communication is Great!

  4/5

  This property was accurately depicted and worked really well for our family. Communication with the Owner was prompt, friendly and terrific too.The good:* The house was clean and a good size for our group of 6 and the decor was attractive.*The beds were comfortable.*The Pool was awesome and our youngest son spent a ridiculous amount of time in the pool.*The parking arrangement was great.*We didn't take advantage of it but I can see where the house's location on a canal might have been a really desirable feature. *The house is located in a nice quiet neighborhood*The Beach!The not as good:*There is no door on the bathroom in the master bathroom. We aren't keen on using the toilet when there is another person steps away and no door between. If the door to the bedroom is open, you can actually see a person sitting on the toilet so every time you want to use the bathroom, the bedroom needed to be vacated and the bedroom door closed. That's really inconvenient in the middle of the night.* The living room furniture is spare, stiff and uncomfortable. * The kitchen isn't very well stocked. It is in need of more pots, pans, bowls, glassware, silverware, serving dishes, storage containers etc. We made due but we found ourselves often having to reach into the dishwasher to wash an item because there wasn't much for silverware/bowls.*There were empty hand soap containers (we replaced them with new) and just two little tiny bar soaps - A little more soap would have been great.*The washing machine leaked a lot the first time we used it but my husband tightened the connection to stop the leak.*The dryer took about 2 1/2 - 3 hours to dry a load of laundry even on the highest/hottest setting so it wasn't really usable. *The refrigerator door shelves were broken and not really usable. If you put anything in them, they would fall off every time the door is opened.*There were some random open food items (not spices) left behind that I would have preferred removed. *This isn't the house's problem but a comment on Marco Island itself - the house is located a little over 2 miles from the beach. With Marco Island's limited public beach access and even more limited parking, driving to the beach and parking isn't easy. We we did a LOT of hauling stuff from our super secret parking spot to the beach. We did leave behind 4 new beach chairs and a new umbrella for future guests but access to a collapsible beach cart would have been really nice.

  Manager's Response:

  From the owner: "Thank you so much for all your thoughtful feedback. I'm so glad you enjoyed the amenities of both the house and the island. That being said we always appreciate ideas and suggestions of ways in which we can improve our guests' experience.
  - Providing a door between the master bedroom and master bathroom is something we have been discussing and are currently speaking with contractors to figure out solutions without damaging the original integrity of the home....coming soon.
  - I'm sorry about the lack of dishware. We advertise for 6 although stocked the kitchen with sets for 8 to cover breakage, etc. We will check the inventory and replace/provide additional cookware.
  - We recently started providing starter packs of supplies, still trying to figure out sizes etc. so we do appreciate your feedback.
  - Additionally, we have received feedback on the dryer and we are currently in the process of purchasing a new one.
  Again, can't thank you enough for staying with us as well as for your feedback. Come back again and let us know how we are doing!"

• Great Stay

  5/5

  Everything was as expected. Freshly redone, nice pool, and on a canal. As a bonus we saw a stingray and manatees. Extra large deck with grill came in handy and Wi-Fi worked well.

• Modern and Relaxed

  5/5

  Adorable new home with very modern decor. The home fit our family of 4 very comfortably with plenty of open space. The home is in a great location, with just about the feeling that everything was within 2 miles. We didn't rent bikes but it would be an easy bike ride to the public beaches. We did rent kayaks and having canal access was fun for both day trip of kayaking as well as fishing. We even saw a dolphin one morning chasing its breakfast.
