Projector with Roku tv and all the apps. Extension cords next to beds to accommodate chargers. Feed and be mesmerized by the tropical fish in the 60 gallon saltwater reef tank. Play the piano!

Excellent family gateway!
Our family of 7 stayed at this beautiful home for the 4th of July celebration. The house is very charming, centrally located and is fully equipped with everything and anything you may need during your stay, including bicycles, beach chairs, beach wagon, towels, etc. Becky, the manager, was amazing, very accommodating and kept on checking on us during our stay. She also gave us great tips about things to do in Marco Island and nice restaurants to visit. The house is literally 5 minutes from the beach, walking, and this entrance of the beach is more secluded, so the beach does not feel crowded at any time. We had a fantastic long weekend at this house and plan to come back. Highly recommended.

A great place to stay in Marco Island.
The property was clean with a lot of amenities. Very well located, close to the beach and the main routes. No need to go out for anything. House has everything to do. Great pool. I would prefer more space in the back yard to gather the whole family. The grill needs an upgrade. Thanks. We enjoyed. House has a lot of space. My kids loved the fish tank and the piano.

Great Stay at Island's Best!
Our 3-generation family of 9 (including a 3 yr old, 2 yr old, & 7mo.) were very happy with this well-stocked, well-situated home! Pack and Plays (with sheets!), high chairs, toys, pool & beach supplies came in very handy. The screened in pool was perfect (temp, cleanliness, floats, deck furniture) & its location right outside the generously-sized screened in porch was very handy. The porch had lots of comfy seating for morning coffee and lovely string lights for evening cocktails. The kitchen had everything we could think of, including plenty of paper towels and dishwasher pods, and if we could not find something, a text to the Host generated a quick reply with the answer. Same for the bathrooms: well stocked with towels, toiletries, t.p. ..and great water pressure in the shower! A/C worked well, extra frig in garage was handy, and the wide array of beach equipment was MUCH appreciated for many trips to the beach...which was an easy, quick walk from the home. Would highly recommend! The Host was friendly, helpful, easy to deal with, & very quick to respond.

Of course location to Marco Beach (5 min walk) was excellent. Becky had chairs, towels, umbrellas, coolers, and transport carts which made getting the beach a breeze. BBQ and tools easily on site for family night in. Pool was comfortably nice to relax. Bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for all 6 of us. Becky was a quick text away and very responsive.

We had an amazing time! We were a 5 minute walk from the beachand if you've ever been to Marco Island you would appreciate it because they really don't have parking around the beach area. This was the best part. Home was stocked with everything you needed to enjoy the beach and family time. Plenty of games to enjoy with the family at night. The pooll area was great and the back patio area was nice. Kitchen has everything. i am picky about washing and keeping things clean and they have a great washer and dryer.

We usually travel to the panhandle for spring break and this was our first trip to Marco. We have a bigger family so vrbos work better for family time then a hotel room. The proximity to the beach was perfect for our daily walks and runs. The house was clean and our host was very accommodating and attentive. The pool and porch were great for days that we didn’t want to stay at the beach all day and outdoor grill worked well. We hope to return to Marco and this vacation home

Memorable Stay
Becky was a perfect host—helpful, responsive, and always available. The large, heated pool was fantastic. The supplies—and leftover food items—were more than adequate. Provided bikes and swim accessories was another plus. The only concerns were a long, open spiral staircase to an upstairs room that was open to the rest of the house—and the Island’s very strict noise restrictions.
