We had a great stay for our Marco Island vacation! The house is beautiful, spacious and comfortable. It’s decorated beautifully and very clean! The kitchen is very well-equipped with everything you may need to make any meal. The beds are also comfortable so everyone was well-rested. The pool area is great for relaxing. The neighborhood is lovely and safe for evening/night walks with the dog and minutes from the beach as well lots of places to eat. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Marco Island Family Retreat
Our two-week stay in Marco Island with our two-year-old and dog was amazing! The home was beautiful, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed. The owners were super kind and responsive.The heated pool was a daily hit—perfect for our toddler! The location was ideal, steps from a great park and a fantastic dog park, making it perfect for our family and pup. Everything was flawless, and we wouldn’t change a thing. We’ll be back for our yearly Marco visit! Highly recommend!

Amazing getaway
We were so pleasantly surprised when we arrived! The house is beautiful and exactly as the pictures showed. The host made check in easy and was accommodating and flexible to meet our needs. Everything was clean and fresh. We would stay there again in a heartbeat! We absolutely loved it!!! YMCA across the street was a great added bonus for tennis, pickleball, gym, etc for a small fee. Proximity to beaches, restaurants, etc is perfect! Thank you!!

Hosts canceled the day of our vacation
The hosts canceled our vacation 9:30am, the day of our vacation and we ended up paying way more than we would’ve for a different rental the next day. If we had canceled our vacation then we would’ve been held responsible for the entire fee, should work both ways VRBO, for hosts too

Excellent Newer Home
The owners are terrific hosts. They were very responsive to a couple minor questions regarding check-in and the spa. The kitchen was abundantly stocked with dishes and cooking items and the house was super clean. Great location off main route to beaches and restaurants. We enjoyed a very nice pool and patio seating when not at the beaches. Great stay.

Wonderful Stay
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at The Sandcastle across from the YMCA on Marco. The owners were wonderful, and the house was clean and newly constructed. Beds were super comfortable and we really enjoyed the hot tub since it was a little cool this February. Our only wish was for more shade in the pool area (it faces west and it gets direct sun most of the afternoon). An umbrella by the chaise lounges that tilts would have been most welcome. Thanks for everything, Heather and Rob (especially the bikes which we really enjoyed).

Beautiful, well-maintained property
We would certainly highly recommend this house! We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful, well-maintained and well-equipped home. The hosts were very responsive to our questions before and after renting the property. I did not give the location 5 stars only because it was a little too far to walk to the beach, but definitely a very short drive. The house was very centrally located on Marco Island and across the street from the Y. The only issue for us was that all available tv watching was through streaming services. So, no local stations or news networks or sports were available, requiring us to subscribe to Hulu live (my husband is a news junkie). This took a little figuring out with the host's help.

Amazing Property!
We stayed with my in-laws for a week that come and visit every year from Michigan. The house was amazing and just what is pictured on the site. They are older so going to the beach is difficult if not impossible, however the pool and spa were enjoyed every day all day.
The owners Robert & heather wee easy to communicate with for the one issue we had and resolved immediately.
Would highly recommend the stay as it is just down the street fro the beach. if you have a YMCA membership there is a great facility across the street.
