About this property

Boater’s paradise w/ unmatched water views

It’s a water lover’s paradise. It’s a boater’s paradise. You get twice as much paradise with this 2,400 square foot house and its water views that seem to extend forever. The house sleeps eight, with one king bed, two queens, a sleeper sofa and it comes with 2.5 bathrooms. It also comes with a two-car garage.

The large private dock gives you direct boating access to the Gulf of Mexico. Relax on the dockside chairs, enjoying the view and spending a little quality time observing your new neighbors, the seabirds and the jumping fish. Wooden stairs take you up to the lanai, which offers easy living at its best, with a heated pool, grill and plenty of lounge chairs to read or lay back and soak in the peaceful sights and sounds.

It’s hard to beat the feeling of floating in the warm water, looking out at the canal lined by palm trees with a backdrop of blue sky. You won’t want to come inside. But when you do, you won’t want to leave. The air conditioning and ceiling fans make sure the temperature’s always hovering just around perfect. The cozy furnishings and decorative boats and fish on the wall give the house a tranquil, seaside feel. In the wide-open dining area, the table sits beside an interior stone wall.

The spacious kitchen contains everything you need, from a refrigerator and stove to a microwave and dishwasher to a coffee maker and blender. If the outside is a boater’s paradise, then the bedrooms are a dreamer’s paradise, with soft beds beside windows that let in the warm, fragrant winds and the sound of gently lapping water.

When you feel like lounging around the house, you’ve got cable television to entertain you, and you can use the free wi-fi to search the best Marco Island activities. Or maybe you’d prefer searching out those activities in your boat. Cruise the residential waterways on your way to exploring one of the remote islands. Or if you want to sit back and let someone else do the captaining, take a swamp buggy tour of the Everglades.

The house is conveniently located near the Shops of Marco, where there’s something for everyone, from souvenirs shops to salons and spas to clothing boutiques and plenty of restaurants. So whether you’re a water lover, boater, sun-worshipper, shopper or all of the above, this house is your paradise.

Cozy and comfy

Being able to wake up and drink coffee on the dock and getting to enjoy the water, seeing dolphins, iguanas, and so much more was the best vacation I've had in a while. This home had all the necessities we needed. The location was perfect for the cruises we took on the ocean and store runs we needed to go on.

Cockroaches in the kitchen

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The whole house needs an improvement, the kitchen has cockroaches, the light is insufficient in the kitchen, dining room and family room areas. The pool is very old and dirty, we had to call the company the first day and ask them to send someone to clean it, they sent us someone very quickly but we could only use it from the third day. I do not recommend anyone to rent this property.

Loved It!

We had a wonderful experience at the Boater's Paradise! Upon our early arrival we walked into a spotless and roomy house. The house was bigger than expected and both family rooms had large walls of windows that opened completely. This was my best feature and i loved how it brought the fun from the pool into the house and kitchen! We highly recommend this place and would stay here again! What is a meaningful review if you don't mention the good with the bad .. We had 1 or 2 issues that were taken care of within hours of mentioning them to the rental place... they were on top of their game! If I must note a few things that could be improved on - but really did not effect the enjoyment of the stay - they would be ...1) Some lights out and needed replacement which I found in the closet of the laundry room. 2) Many of the light switches are not labeled or do not control anything... 3) pool was warm and we would have liked to turn it down a little but didn't know how.4) better grill utensils would be nice 5)some baking sheets would be nice too! We really had a wonderful time... beds were very comfortable, quality sheets and pillows. Lots of room for games, double refrigerators for drinks, nice fans and patio furniture too !

House with Canal in the back

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property is good because I has a canal in the back and is big but the there are a couple of areas that need to be upgrade including the pool, the pool that has leak and causes the water lever to drop and makes the pool green because it looses all the chemicals very fast.

October 2023 Stay

First of all the service from Marco Island vacation properties was amazing! They went out of their way to find a solution to our boat trailer parking dilemma. They were always fast to answer questions. The house is a great location! Perfect for fast access to the gulf for fishing, no bridges. Also great central location to shopping and restaurants. Although not as modern as some rentals, the house was immaculate, and very well equipped with everything we needed. Beautiful view and able to see our boat at all times. Big kitchen with all the amenities. Comfortable beds and pillows. Even extra blankets to use while watching tv. We have booked many vacation properties that were more modern but not as well maintained or comfortable. We would definitely rent this property again!! Great value!!

The front area of the house needs freshing up ! One of us did some needed "gardening"inside the screen. (Got it to look much better) 2 Lights on the "pier/mooring needs repair. (we tryed to set in new bulbs).We think there is no big issues to take care of , more cosmetic. We would absolutely come back.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home has a great floorplan and a great view. The home needs some TLC, but it worked perfectly for us. It's large enough that you can have separate spaces, if necessary. The space has two living areas, but both areas' furniture is in serious need of replacement. While we were there, the owner replaced the pull-out couch, which was nice. However, the matching loveseat needs to be replaced and the wicker furniture in the other living room HAS TO GO. The positives of this house outweigh the minor negatives, though. The house's location on the channel gives you a view all the way out to Sanctuary Sound and the dock is nice. Working with Marco Island Vacation Properties was an absolute joy. The office staff (mother and daughter) was so nice, and Andrew took care of any issues we had. The rental company is a family owned and operated business and it was evident in every interaction we had. I would highly recommend working with Marco Island Vacation Properties

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had to wait almost 2 hours to check in, cleaning staff was still in house. Over all the house needs a lot of work. The couches in the living room and family are on useable. Couldn't use the sofa bed. Stove top had broke burner and exhaust didn't work. Ice dispenser on refrigerator didn't work. Pool area needs maintenance. Nice location, but the house really needs a little TLC.

Right off the dock and onto the boat, a quick ride down the channel and on your way to some the to the worlds best fishing. The place was great and had everything needed for a comfortable long (but not long enough) stay.
