We had a great stay in this nicely decorated home. The beds were very comfortable with lots of pillows. The house is an affordable location for exploring Marco Island and the 10K islands. Good host communication. I would stay again.
We enjoyed our stay at the property. Would definitely stay again. We found the property to be as listed. No surprises with our stay. The area was peaceful during the busy Nee Years holidays.
Comfortable home in a nice neighborhood near to the beach, 5th Ave and great restaurants. Everything we needed was available. Kim was very responsive to our needs as they arose, and we thank her very much for that. She went beyond what we expected.
I appreciate how clean the place was! The location was great in that it’s a nice cheaper alternative to being directly in Naples. We were there for a friend’s wedding so it was a nice quiet location for us. Check in and out were super easy.
This property was perfect for our 55 and older family. Clean, well stocked, nicely decorated and comfortable is an excellent description. The location was a very short drive to the beach as well as downtown Naples and the historic area. Kim as a host was wonderful. She responded to all questions quickly and made check in and check out a breeze. We would definitely stay there again when visiting Naples.
Site was as listed.. it was perfect for what we needed.. Kim responded to our needs . only recommendation is maybe put up some hooks to hang towels on. overall things were great.. thank you
My friend and I had a great Florida vacation. The accommodations at Gecko Cottage were great - just what we needed. If we return to the area we will definitely check to see if Gecko Cottage is available!!

Great comms with the host. Nice quiet location about 25 mins walk to Tin City and bars / restaurants. Also enjoyed Alice Sweetwaters Bar and Restaurant which is about 10 mins walk. The property had everything we wanted inc great wifi. Wish every rental property was as thoughtfully furnished as this one! Thank you Kim!

Unfortunately my wife and I got severe respiratory viruses before the trip started and we had to cancel. But we had very good Communication with the property manager prior and to our trip.
The house was exactly as listed. Brand new appliances, beautiful bathroom, new towels, bedding and nice furniture. Beach towels and some beach toys were nice to have.
Bathroom has a Bluetooth speaker/light/nightlight/fan which is super neat until the kids decide to blast music while I’m in there!! Hahaha
The neighborhood is very quiet and safe.
Felt extremely comfortable and had a great stay.

What makes this property unique
I offer superior value for a rental property situated close to the beach.
