Marco Island Escape | Walk to Beach + Dining | Private Heated Pool

Welcome to your Marco Island getaway, where you can **walk to the beach, stroll to nearby dining and shops, and come home to your own private heated pool**.

This spacious **4-bedroom, 2-bath home sleeps up to 8** and is designed for families and groups who want one of Marco Island’s most convenient locations without giving up the comfort and privacy of a full vacation home.

Spend the morning on the beach, walk to lunch or dinner, then return home to relax beside the heated pool, enjoy the screened lanai, grill dinner outside, or unwind with family and friends.

## WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS HOME

***Brand new kitchen and all new sliding glass doors being added NOW..Aug/Sept 2026

• Walk to the beach
• Walk to nearby restaurants and shops
• Private heated pool
• 4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | Sleeps 8
• Three king bedrooms
• Bunk room for kids or additional guests
• Spacious screened lanai
• Outdoor dining + grill

• Fully equipped kitchen
• Comfortable indoor and outdoor gathering spaces

• Convenient South Marco Island location

## WALK TO THE BEACH

One of the biggest advantages of this home is the location.

Instead of loading everyone into the car, finding parking, and hauling beach gear across the island, you can simply grab the chairs and beach cart and walk to Marco Island’s beautiful sugar-sand beaches.

Having beach access within walking distance makes it easy to enjoy the Gulf whenever you want—whether that means a full day in the sun, an early-morning walk, or heading back down to catch the sunset.

It also means you can come and go throughout the day without having to plan your entire schedule around the beach.

## PRIVATE HEATED POOL & OUTDOOR LIVING

After the beach, come home to your own private heated pool.

The screened outdoor living area gives your group plenty of room to relax without leaving the property.

Spend the afternoon floating in the pool, stretch out in the sun, enjoy lunch outside, or relax in the shade with a cold drink.

In the evening, fire up the grill, enjoy dinner on the lanai, and spend time together in the warm Marco Island air.

The private pool gives families the flexibility to enjoy the water on their own schedule—especially useful for younger children, afternoon breaks, or days when everyone simply wants to stay home and relax.

## THE HOME

Inside, you’ll find spacious, bright living areas designed for easy vacation living.

The open layout gives everyone room to spend time together while still providing enough space to spread out.

Comfortable seating and a large-screen TV create an easy place for movie nights, sporting events, or relaxing after a day at the beach.

The home is thoughtfully furnished and stocked so you can arrive, unpack, and start enjoying your vacation.

## SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS

This home’s bedroom setup is one of its strongest features for families and groups.

### Primary Bedroom

Relax in a comfortable king-size bed with plenty of space to unpack and recharge after a day in the sun.

### King Guest Bedroom

A second king bedroom provides another comfortable private sleeping space for couples or adult guests.

### Third King Bedroom

A third king bedroom makes this home especially convenient for multi-generational families, couples traveling together, or groups where adults prefer not to sleep in smaller beds.

### Bunk Room

The fourth bedroom is designed with younger guests in mind and provides a fun, comfortable sleeping space for children or additional guests.

Having **three king bedrooms plus a bunk room** gives your group flexibility that can be difficult to find in a typical vacation rental.

## BATHROOMS

The home includes two full bathrooms, making mornings and evenings easier for families and groups.

The bathrooms provide plenty of space for getting ready before heading to the beach, dinner, or island activities.

## KITCHEN & DINING

The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals during your stay.

Whether you’re making breakfast before the beach, packing snacks for the day, preparing lunch between swims, or enjoying dinner at home, you’ll have the cookware, dishes, appliances, and essentials you need.

The open kitchen and dining layout makes it easy for everyone to stay connected while meals are being prepared.

Enjoy dinner indoors or take your meal outside to the lanai and make the most of Marco Island’s warm evenings.

## EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR THE BEACH

We want your Marco Island vacation to be as easy as possible, so we provide many of the items families normally have to pack, purchase, or rent.

Depending on availability during your stay, beach amenities include:

• Beach cart
• Beach chairs
• Umbrellas
• Coolers
• Beach towels and gear
• Sand toys
• Bikes for exploring Marco Island

That means less time shopping or renting equipment and more time enjoying your vacation.

Pack your swimsuits and sunscreen—we’ve taken care of much of the rest.

## WALK TO DINING & SHOPS

The convenience doesn’t stop at the beach.

This home is located near popular South Marco Island dining, shopping, and activities, making it easy to enjoy an evening out without spending your vacation constantly driving from place to place.

Walk to dinner, grab a drink, explore nearby shops, then return home for an evening swim.

That combination of **walkability and a private pool** is what makes this property especially appealing.

## PERFECT FOR FAMILIES & GROUPS

The home is designed to make group travel easier.

With four bedrooms, three king beds, a bunk room, multiple gathering areas, a private pool, and both indoor and outdoor dining spaces, there’s room for everyone to enjoy the trip comfortably.

Families can spend time together without feeling crowded, while the bedroom setup gives adults and children their own spaces at the end of the day.

Whether you’re planning a family beach vacation, multi-generational trip, couples getaway, or a vacation with friends, the home provides the space and flexibility to make it work.

## EXPLORE MARCO ISLAND

Marco Island offers far more than beautiful beaches.

During your stay, you can enjoy:

• Boating and fishing
• Dolphin and wildlife tours
• Paddleboarding and kayaking
• Sunset cruises
• Waterfront dining
• Golf
• Parks and family activities
• Shopping
• Live music
• Nearby Naples and Southwest Florida attractions

Spend the day exploring—or enjoy everything the house has to offer and never leave the pool.

## THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

What makes this home special is that you don’t have to choose between **location and amenities**.

Many guests want to stay close to the beach but still want the privacy and convenience of a private home.

Here, you can have both.

Walk to the beach in the morning.

Come home for lunch and a swim.

Walk to dinner in the evening.

Return to your own private heated pool and lanai.

No resort crowds. No shared pool. No packing the car every time you want to go somewhere.

Just an easy Marco Island vacation.

## WE’RE HERE TO HELP

Marco Island is our home away from home, and we love sharing it with our guests.

We’re happy to provide recommendations for restaurants, beaches, fishing charters, boat rentals, bike rentals, sunset cruises, and family activities.

If there’s something you’d like help planning before or during your stay, just ask.

Our goal is to make your vacation comfortable, easy, and memorable from the moment you arrive.

We look forward to welcoming you!

A great family stay in Marco

We stayed with our family that included two small kids and two big kids. The swimming pool was a massive hit and we used it pretty much every day, but one of the biggest pluses was having access to the bikes and the beach gear. We made full use of the bikes whilst we stayed, cycling all over the island - much to the glee of our 6 year old son!

Home away from home in Marco Island

Kristen’s home truly felt like our home away from home. From the moment we arrived everything was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The space was cozy yet spacious and it was clear a lot of thought into making guests feel welcomed. Kristen was an amazing host. She was helpful, responsive and kind from start to finish. She was always quick to answer questions, offer recommendations, and made our trip as stress-free as possible. The location was ideal, it made it easy to enjoy the area while still having a peaceful home to return to. We loved our stay so much. We rebooked the home before our month in Marco Island was over. We look forward to returning to Kristen‘s home in January 2027 with our family.

We loved staying here! We walked to the beach 3-4 times during our stay pulling the wagons full of beach chairs and toys for the kids. It was so nice to have everything we needed already at the house. The kitchen is well stocked with basically anything you would need or want. There was an issue with the dishwasher and Kristen had her maintenance guy come and fix it within hours. I would stay here again. My boys (6 & 8) swam in the pool every day and it was awesome to use the pool floats and toys. Overall the house was clean and cozy. Thanks Kristen for sharing your home with us!

I've been staying here for the past several years. My family and I love the place and always enjoy it. The home is roomy and the pool is great. Walking or biking to the beach is very handy with the location of this home. The owner was always prompt with communication. I would recommend this home to anyone.
