• dock on 100 feet of waterfront
Peer into the water as the tides change to see what unusual sea life you can spot. Try fishing from the dock as you sip your favorite beverages. With the bay as your backyard, who knows what you’ll catch! Use the provided kayaks or paddle board, launch them from the floating dock, and enjoy fun in the sun, obviously being aware of the various sea life as you go on your excursion! Boat lift is not available for guest use and boat trailer will not fit in the garage. We will gladly supply you with storage location information for your trailer.
• View sunsets from the lanai
The grill master can take over the grill while other guests relax on the lanai. Rest in our favorite area along the back between the two bedrooms. Lounge there as you enjoy breakfast while watching the birds swoop around the bay. In the evening, view vividly colored sunsets! I'm telling you, the sunset views are NOT to be missed. Once it's dark, quietly listen for the sea life.
• Take a stroll to area restaurants or Tiger Tail Beach Park
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Go on a leisurely stroll to some of the island’s favorite restaurants, just ½ mile away. Ride a bike or walk to Tiger Tail Beach Park Access (12-minute walk to the entrance) where you can observe birds at the lagoon, or wade through the lagoon to the beach and enjoy the shimmering ocean waters. If you drive and park at the south end of Tiger Tail beach parking ($10 daily charge), you can also walk around the lagoon to reach the beach.
• Large, brilliant pool
Sunny Florida days can be scorching! What better way to cool off than to spend time in the pool? All twelve guests can fit in here with room to spare. Southern exposure for extra warm water in the cooler months! It’s conveniently located by the screened lanai for the comfort of those who may not choose to swim.
• Converge in the kitchen to prepare meals together
The kitchen boasts granite counter tops, with an electric oven, a five-burner stove and all sorts of items you may need for cooking, IF you decide to cook while on vacation. Counters are lengthy with loads of space for prepping and serving favorite foods. Our own extended family has had a delightful time preparing delicious meals together in this kitchen!
• Enjoy the comfortable spaces of the home
Kick back and relax on the living room leather sectional as you watch movies or gaze outside. Catch some zzz’s as you sleep in one of the six bedrooms (please read further about the 2-bedroom suite). Play cards, board games or snack on goodies as you sit around one of the two dining tables and reminisce about old times. Have a little work or virtual school to do? Find a spot on the lanai or at the dining table where you can get it done in between having fun!
Perfect for traveling with family or groups of longtime friends because it sleeps up to 12. It is our hope that guests will feel at home for their time in our place, and that they will love their time in beautiful Marco Island!
Guests may bring their dog. One friendly, currently rabies vaccinated dog, up to 50 pounds; there is a $150 pet fee. Please indicate in your reservation if you are bringing your pet. Thank you in advance for being neighborly and following city ordinance & cleaning up after your pet & also being sure your dog does not disturb the neighbors. Collier County requires that dogs be leashed when walking outside for their safety. Although Marco Island Beaches do not allow dogs, the Canine Cove at Mackle is a nice spot to take your furry friend.
Although our home is great to gather family or friends, it is not a party house. Please do not book our home for parties or oversized groups; only twelve overnight guests are allowed, including children, babies and infants. Oversized groups are against city ordinance and can get very noisy, and it is imperative to be respectful of the full-time residents who surround this home. Please do not book this home if you wish to have a party during your time in Marco Island. Large gatherings typically disturb the neighbors and often break the noise ordinances, thus resulting in fines from the city. Sometimes, a guest's music may inadvertently get too loud, and we will receive a noise alert from the Noise Aware system. If this happens, our management company will let you know in order to simply lower the level, so you avoid receiving noise violation fines. We are local, and so should your group need something, we are happy to help!
Please note that all payments are required to go through the VRBO website payments. No payments may be made outside of VRBO per VRBO policies. A rental agreement will need to be signed upon the receipt of the second payment. Once your booking is finalized, our management company agreement will not match the VRBO quote because VRBO collects a service fee that does not go to us, and they collect the 7% required State Lodging Tax that is remitted by them by law.
We have two exterior Ring cameras for the security of our home, especially when it is vacant. One is above the garage and the other is by the front door. We are local and so this allows us to know if we have deliveries or service workers needing access to our property. In addition, we have a NoiseAware monitoring system, which measures the noise risk level inside and outside of the home. One is inside the main living area and the other is on the lanai. If the exterior noise level goes beyond the allowable levels based on the Marco Island Noise Ordinance, guests will receive an alert via text messaging. (Unfortunately, it can't discern between human noise & thunderstorms, so guests may get an alert during a storm). We request that guests keep within the allowable noise levels, especially in the evenings. This way, our guests can avoid incurring fines from the city and we can keep good relationships with our neighbors. Please do not tamper with NoiseAware equipment; this helps keep guests from getting fined. Please do not tamper with the cameras; these are here for the safety and well-being of our property.
