About this property

SW Facing Waterfront w/Direct Access. Heated Pool & Spa. Immaculate & Spacious!

Chasing The Sun is an airy and immaculate luxury 4-bedroom, 3-bath waterfront Marco Island getaway home ideal for families and executives.

This newly updated, fully furnished, tastefully decorated and freshly landscaped 2,540 sq. Ft. 1-story home is nestled in a tranquil cul-de-sac. It's the perfect place to relax and enjoy florida’s nearly 365 days of sun!

Its spacious, open floor plan boasts 12-ft. Ceilings and a bright and sunny southwest-facing living area. Pocket doors invite the outdoors in, opening to a fully covered lanai lounge area with gas grill, heated screened-in pool and 6-person spa. For your safety, all doors leading to lanai, pool & spa chime when opened.

The primary bedroom suite features canal views and a king-sized poster bed, sitting area, oversize walk-in closet and french doors leading to the lanai and pool. Its large en suite private bathroom has his- and her-vanities, soaking tub and separate walk-in shower.

The second King suite has a lovely bay window with seating area. The third bedroom has a king bed, and the fourth bedroom doubles as a kids space with a twin bed and queen bed and closet.

Two bathrooms (not including the master) provide additional convenience: one has a stand-up shower and a door that leads directly to the lanai and pool/spa area, while the other has a combination tub and shower.

When you're ready to step outside, take a dip in the heated pool, unwind in the hot tub, or cast a line with provided fishing gear right off the private dock outfitted with two boat lifts (6,000 lb. And 12,000 lb.) on a direct access canal that leads to the nearby Gulf of Mexico.

The fully-equipped and beautifully appointed eat-in gourmet kitchen with granite countertops is a great place to gather at mealtimes. It has ample seating for 6 at the table and 4 at the center island, overlooking the pool and canal. An upscale folding table is available, if you need to seat a few more people.

Wash the sand off your clothes in the fully enclosed laundry room with brand-new washer/dryer and utility sink.

Whether working or entertaining, you’ll find free wifi throughout, plus flat screen HDTVs in the family room and all bedrooms. A universal remote controls the bluetooth-compatible bluray dvd-cd player, media package including digital cable with 300 tv and music channels. The home is also stocked with plenty of blurays and dvds for all ages.

Limitless outdoor recreation options include the 7-mile white sand beach just a short distance away. Take your pick from the many local waterside restaurants for lunch or dinner or take a 15-minute drive to downtown naples, where world-class shopping and dining await.

Perfection

We had the most amazing time!! The property managers met us when we got there and remained accessible the whole time we were there.Anything we could possibly want or need was there for us, and the pool and hot tub were phenomenal!!! The house was spotless and was perfectly laid out to make it feel inviting, comfortable, and spacious.We have stayed in a lot of different houses in and around Naples and Marco Island over the years, and this house is definitely one of our favorites, and one that we hope to come back to in the very near future!

What an amazing place!

This was one of the nicest places we have ever stayed! There wasn't a thing we could have needed that wasn't provided at this beautiful home! The pool and hot tub were so wonderful and the dock was amazing as well! We only ventured out to the beach a couple of times because we enjoyed this amazing property so much! Coming from cold, rainy Ohio, anything sunny and warm was greatly enjoyed! The owners and the property managers were amazing to work with and having them meet us upon check in was an added bonus. Wow - is all I can say. Everything was provided and then some. Thank you for allowing us the privilege of staying in your beautiful home. I would highly recommend this rental for anyone looking for an amazing vacation spot!

Chasing the Sun is amazing.

Our trip was nothing short of amazing. This house is in a perfect location and is very clean and up kept. The owners are very nice and easy to work with. Bill was so accommodating and made sure we were all set with everything before he left. The kids loved the pool and hot tub and fishing off the dock was a hit also. We highly recommend this home.

Beautiful home in a wonderful area .

We had a wonderful time with family in this beautiful home. The pool was great, enjoyed walks in the neighborhood and really appreciated so many household supplies. Bill met us to show us around the home and came to help right away with a question and then followed up with a call. We loved it here in Marco ...

Exceeded Expectations! Great Introduction to SW Florida!

Although my family has been to Florida several times, we had never been to SW Florida -- staying at Chasing the Sun was a great first-time experience and introduction to the area! The check-in process was easy and the property managers couldn't have been more friendly. The house is modern, spacious, and stocked with everything you'll need for a relaxing and fun vacation. It is very easy to find, and in a safe and welcoming neighborhood. Everyone in from family, aged 12-52, had a great time exploring the area and spending time in the pool. We will definitely be back!

Gorgeous house - great Marco location

We've stayed at this property more than once, and enjoyed it every time. It's a very quiet, convenient location with easy water access as well. The house is very well kept, has a nice pool and hot tub, and the screened in lanai makes the house seem twice as big as it is. Looking forward to another visit!

Beautiful location! Great pool area!!!

Loved this Marco home! Great pool area - and loved that it was screened in. The kitchen was decked out, which made it easy to make most of our meals at home. Hosts were super friendly and place was spotless. Definitely recommending it to my friends at home.

Best Place to Stay!

We had such a great time in Marco Island at this house! It was right on the canal, which allowed us to see some great sunsets, fish from the dock, and have access to the water. The house is in a great location and really close to the beach, a few blocks from a grocery store, and near some great restaurants. The pool and hot tub were amazing and a great way to spend the day (or night)! Both are heated, which is sometimes hard to find. The house itself was very nice, with a lot of bedrooms. We were able to fit our whole family in there very comfortably. The kitchen was perfect for us too. They had everything you needed to make meals (which we did a lot) and plenty of space to hang out. We really enjoyed staying here and plan to again, next time we are down in Marco!

Perfect House In an Awesome Location!

We had such an incredible time with our family at this gorgeous home. And the pool/hot tub makes it hard to ever leave! The kitchen has absolutely everything you need, beds are very comfortable, the entire place is spotless and you really couldn't ask for more. When we wanted to go to the beach, it was a quick and easy drive. We'll definitely be back!

Wonderful home with everything we needed!

Our family completely enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. The house is set up wonderfully for a full family and is very professionally decorated. Everything we needed was available. Our family especially loved the pool and hot tub as we would go to the beach (5 min away) and then come home and play volleyball in the pool, grill some supper and then watch movies. We hope to stay again next year!

Why they chose this property

Our family has traveled the world. We spent 20 years searching from Hawaii to South Africa for a waterfront vacation home and finally found the perfect location.

For a sunny getaway, the Gulf Coast and Marco Island have it all: year-round gorgeous weather plus great beaches, fishing, dining and shopping. With easy access by car, boat or plane, our home is spacious enough for a large family gathering, yet it's also an ideal place for an intimate getaway!

We live in Central Iowa, where the winters are long and bleak. Chasing The Sun is our haven, and we invite you to share this experience!

What makes this property unique

Southwest facing waterfront property with direct access
to canal leading to Gulf of Mexico. Covered lanai with outdoor seating and dining areas and heated screened-in pool and spa. Pocket doors open off the main living areas to lanai. With a private, tranquil setting and open plan layout it's ideal for entertaining and comfortably sleeps 9 (in beds).
Beautifully appointed gourmet kitchen with seating for 8. Cordless phone and HDTVs in family room and 3 bedrooms, surround sound indoors, outdoor pool stereo.
Access to daytime recreation and nightlife.
