New Listing! Secret Access: Two Min Walk to JW/Beach Access ~Beach Gear, Pool, WiFi & More
This home has a big secret and we're happy to let you in on it! The Secret Beach Retreat is just steps from a gate with cut-through access to Collier Boulevard. This special access across a grass field shortens the walking distance to the closest beach access point to around .25 miles, which is less than half the distance according to any map app directions! And the JW Marriott is even closer - the other side of the gate lands you in the JW's parking lot. Just cross Collier Boulevard and you're there. Now, who wouldn't like exclusive access like that?? Secret Beach Retreat delivers this and so much more. Just know that your map app won't show you the path to this special gate, but this listing will - so be sure to look at all of the listing pictures and you'll know exactly how make the most of this home's amazing location!
The house can accommodate up to nine people, so feel free to spread the word about the Secret Beach Retreat! Everyone will love the home's serene interior with tropical splashes of color and whimsy. The split floor plan offers plenty of privacy and space to spread out while the centrally-located living room and the screened-in lanai, which can be accessed by three rooms in the house, makes gathering easy and fun. The lanai spans the distance to the open air pool on the western side of the home. The pool deck's western exposure maximizes the hours of sun on the pool and offers nightly sunset viewings right from the lanai and pool deck. Take advantage of the home's amazing location and exclusive access and make everyday a beach day. The complimentary beach gear - towels, chairs, umbrella and wagon - will make those trips all the more enjoyable! For dining and entertainment options, walk or take the short ride to check out some of the hottest restaurants, bars and shops at the Marco Walk Plaza, which is just 0.5 mi from the house.
Whether you spend every minute of your vacation at the Sunset Beach Retreat or exploring the island's offerings, the home is fully equipped with everything you need to make the most of your time and create wonderful family memories in this unique property - just pack a toothbrush and your swimsuit!

Very Convenient Location
Home is located near the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. It was very convenient for accessing the beach and exploring Marco.
Layout of the home included an open, central area and bedrooms/bathrooms at opposite ends. This set up was great for hosting guests.
Property manager promptly responded to all inquiries.
Would rent this place again.
