This place was everything that was pictured in so much more. The owner, john, was so easy to deal with and fix any issues that we had immediately. The sea shelling around was unbelievable and I found a seashell the size of my head.

Great house, well appointed

My friend and our brought our 11 year old kids here for a long weekend. We were impressed with how well appointed the house was. The kitchen had everything you need (the knives were dull, but what VRBO house actually has knives that work? ;) The pool was great, the beds were decently comfortable, there were plenty of towels, and the garage had everything we needed for a day at the beach. The house really isn't comfortable walking distance to the beach, especially if you have a lot of stuff you're bringing. But we drove, paid for day parking, and did't complain about it because Marco Island overall is a dream. We also loved the life-size Jenga! The owner was quick to get back to us with answers to all our questions. Overall a good experience.

Would stay here again

Had a great time spending 4 nights here after staying 4 nights at the JW Marriott. For a family of 5 this place has plenty of room to spread out and the pool was very nice. Water access was also a plus for my son who loves to fish. Owner was excellent to work with and very accommodating and accessible. Plenty of toys in the garage for beach, pool, biking, kayaking, etc. All the kitchen stuff you need if you prefer to eat in.

Marco Island - Must go!

If you haven't been to Marco Island, you must go! Awesome trip with my teenage kids. House is clean, well equipped, and John is a pleasure to work with. Bikes were key for us as it is only a 4 minute ride to the beach (no car parking available). Pool was also very relaxing and clean. Rented a boat for a day and was able to use the dock at the house to load up our supplies. If you rent a boat, stop by the southern tip of Keewaydin Island to shore the boat and meet new friends - probably the highlight of our trip!

Great property

This property was clean and there was plenty of space for our family of 5. We enjoyed the pool, deck, and whole house. We didn't walk to the beach but one person dropped everyone off with our stuff and then that person dropped the car at home and rode a bike to the beach. It's a very easy and enjoyable bike ride. John's suggestions for beach entry and for resturants were extremely helpful.

Great vacation

Everything thing about our rental was perfect. It was myself, husband, 2 kids (11&13), and my parents. Plenty of space for everyone. We loved the pool and we walked to the beach. My son fished off the back dock and me and my husband went for long walks in the neighborhood every morning. The house has everything you need for cooking, we were able to cook entire Thanksgiving dinner. Lots of beach towels so don’t bring those. Very clean and the owner is very easy to work with.

The property owner is amazing, he got back to us immediately after sending an email and was able to get our problem solved within the hour.

Highly Recommended Marco Stay

Spacious, well maintained and well stocked, this Marco Island home was an enjoyable place to rent. The enclosed private pool was great. The house is about a 15-20 minute walk or only a 5 minute bike ride to the nearest public beach access. Included bikes and beach items are a plus. Restaurants, shops and Publix are 1.9 miles away although restaurants in several beach hotels are a little closer. John was pleasant to work with.

Close to everything!

This is our fourth trip to Marco and the location of this home Is central to everything it has to offer. Very clean and well equipped! Within walking and biking distance to just about everything. The owner is great and made sure we had everything we needed. He even purchased an additional adult bike for our use while we were there! The house is very spacious with lots of room to spread out if with a larger group. The only reason I didn't give the location 5 stars was the lingering faint smell of sewer that periodically wafted through the neighborhood. This was a minor disturbance though and I would definitely rent this home again.

Close to everything

This property is great - walking distance to several restaurants and the public beach access, your own private pool, a nicely appointed kitchen and a master suite separated from the other bedrooms (nice if you're traveling with family/kids). Bikes are available which basically makes most of the island accessible if you don't have a car. The only drawback is that it is on a main road, so the road noise can sometimes be a bit much if you like to keep the windows open (but that's the price you pay for being so close to everything). John, the owner, is communicative and accommodating, and really helped us make the most of our last day when we had nearly 12 hours between check-out and our flight.

Great house, great location

Pros- House was beautiful (as the pictures show). The home is on a main road but is definitely not busy, I never had to wait to pull out of the driveway. You are on the side of the island with all the shops and restaurants which was awesome, everything on the island is a quick drive being under 10min. And the owner stocked the house with plenty of great beach gear to use Cons- The beach is a little bit further of a walk than what was on the description, probably took closer to 20min to walk. The beach close to the house was labeled residents only. With that the south beach parking (which will put you a 3min walk to being on a beautiful beach) lot is literally 1.7miles away and to park in the lot is $8 for the day. Totally worth the money for the convenience and beauty of the beach. While we were there we saw 3 manatees and a few dolphins close to shore. Regardless I would absolutely rent here again. The home is spacious, well kept and close to anything you’d want to do! Enjoy Marco Island, it’s worth the trip and this place is worth the stay

Rest & Relaxation

Wonderful relaxing home. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you needed, cooked a few nights while there. Area was quiet [even with construction next door]. Manatee in canal out back [mom & baby!] was really cool to watch. Totally enjoyed the pool day & night. Beaches were great - went to the public beach by the Apollo and Tigertail. Great shelling. Went on the Craigcats - what a fun adventure! So many restaurants to choose from - all were good. Good times in Goodland. Couldn't have asked for a nicer place for a R&R vacation. Hope to get back real soon!

The homeowner was easy to contact and very accommodating. The home is located on a beautiful property right on the water. My husband and I stayed there with our two little boys and I loved that all of the doors had security alarms. The layout of the home is spacious and the kitchen was perfect. We really enjoyed our stay, the home, and we love Marco Island. We plan to visit again soon.

Great home near the beach

The house was spacious, clean and very up to date. Pool was beautiful. 15 min walk to beach, we tried to ride bikes from the house to save time. Well stocked with pool toys and towels. Only downside was no baby stuff was available, no crib, no high chair. That was not a big deal for us, we just brought our own, but anyone with very little kids should be aware.

Wow! Great location and beautiful property!

We had planned our Marco Island visit one year in advance. We were staying at a local resort until they cancelled our reservation one week before arrival due to damage from Hurricane Irma. In order to salvage our vacation, we found the San Marco House. John responded immediately and was able to accommodate us. He was always quick to respond to our questions and helped us with a boat rental. From the moment we entered the house, we knew we made the right choice. The house was exceptionally clean and we lacked nothing as far as amenities were concerned. I’m an avid cook and the kitchen was fully stocked for any meal preparation. The pool was clean, warm and was great to lounge about on days we weren’t out exploring the island or beach. There is so many things that are great about this property, you definitely should check it out for yourself!!!
