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!
