Good location in a quiet area close to the beach. New outdoor area and pool were lovely and a bonus with the two kayaks, which we used frequently. We will be back and enjoyed our stay overall!

Great house on a canal. The pool and patio were nice. The bikes need a little work, we only rode them on the road in front of the house.

Cute & clean

Very nice rental and great location on Marco! We loved the kayaks and the ease to get anywhere. Pool is on the small side. Beds were very comfortable, nice linens and ceiling fans in every room -even the master bathroom. Thank you for a great stay!

Perfect spot in Marco!

We loved this place while exploring Marco Island! We were able to enjoy the beautiful and comfortable home, morning sunrise on the dock, a late afternoon swim, and some kayak fun as well. What truly made it perfect was all of the extras - we used the beach chairs, cooler, and even a large beach bag for towels. Everything needed is here! Super visit, fantastic home/hostess.

Perfect location

Very nice home. You can walk to the beach in about 20 minutes. Whole house music system, pool heated in the 90’s, dolphins swimming in the canal. It was the perfect house for an all adult vacation.

Family Vacation

Excellent check in procedure, the property manager reached out when the house was ready for us which was earlier than check in time. The house was very clean and had ample room for our family of five. Great location. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

Beautiful home and outdoor area

Home was clean and in great location. Evonne and her husband of Kaben properties were wonderful. Quick to respond to our texts and had minor issue with refrigerator and they were there quickly to resolve problem. Highly recommend home and Kaben.

Great property!

Until this visit we've been staying at the JW. We wanted a place the whole family could descend on so the 3 bedroom was perfect. House was well equipped with beach items, kitchen items, grill, pool items, bikes, beach trailer, on and on! Walk to the beach was easy even though it looks far. It's nice being on a quiet canal too. Lounging by the heated pool was comfortable. Super easy to get to the beach using central access point for walks. Will definitely consider it again.

Beautiful home on the canal with a clean and refreshing pool. Bedrooms were clean, uncomfortable, and the kitchen had everything we need!

Wonderful place

We had a wonderful stay in this house; we lacked nothing. It's a great, spacious house. The location is fantastic, right on the canal and by the pool. The kids could swim and fish. The kitchen is well-equipped. Very comfortable beds. What more could you want?

Wonderful Place to Stay!

This house was a perfect stay on Marco Island. The location was fantastic, close to many thing. There is very little parking at the public beaches so we would just hop on the bikes and ride to the beach. The house had a great split bedroom and open floor layout. House was clean and beds were very comfortable. The dock on the canal was great for fishing and kayaking. We caught several fish and saw tons of sting rays. Tons of great amenities at the house; beach chairs, beach toys, bikes, fishing equipment, volleyball net for the pool, grill and outdoor dining. The pool was heated and our kids had blast in it. It is a very skinny pool and gets deep quickly.

Host's response:

So nice to hear everyone enjoyed the home. It was nice hosting you and hope you consider returning.

CLEAN and HOSPITABLE

The home had all the amenities, and we had no issues. Been coming down for over 12 years and our stay was again perfect. The first time we had an owner/property manager greet us with a "Welcoming Gift". This was very nice and put a smile on our faces. We will sure visit again; also, we used the beach chairs after our check out and the owner was understanding as our flight was late in the afternoon. Communication is key!!! Thanks, Yvonne, for always answering our calls and professional. The owner is in good hands!

Thank you.

True Paradise

This was our first time staying on Marco Island, but our 2nd time in the area. It was a truly fantastic place. The house is in a great location, easy to get to, and has awesome access to the water. We kayaked, fished off the pier, biked around the neighborhood (where we saw nesting owls), and spent hours outside on the water. Almost every evening, we saw dolphins swimming up the channel! The pool is actually much larger than it looks in pictures and very deep! The house is very large, and was more than enough space for 5 of us. The property manager was attentive to issues with the garage door not shutting (which wasn't a big issue- we just wanted them to know). The only minor issues were that the washer was squeaky and the dryer took about 3 cycles to dry (again- minor concern). The location to things on Marco was great, and we ended up bringing a boat and cruising up the waterways and off the island to some smaller, beachy islands where we found more shells than we could have imagined!

Host's response:

Thank you Jessica. Sorry about the hiccup with the garage door. I am happy to hear that you got a chance to see the dolphins. The house really gets some cool moments of them. Look forward to your return.
