7 BR / 8 Bath Huge Estate Home - Tennis, Basketball, Huge Pool, Privacy

Renovation just completed in 2020! Perhaps the largest lot on all of Marco Island. The Main house is a 5 Bed / 4 full Bath & 2 half Bath, with a 2 Bed / 2 full Bath guest house. The guest house is attached by the massive lanai area. The pool is an oversized pool with an 8' deep end with multiple lounge chairs for relaxing poolside. The pool does have a heater for the winter months. The tennis court and separate half basketball court are perfect for the active family.

Inside the main house is a massive master suite, huge master bath, guest bedrooms, with mostly king beds, and one room set up with 2 bunk beds for 4 people. There is also a game room with a pool table area, video game table with 400+ old school games, and large television viewing area attached. A huge 3 car garage is adjacent to the main house and a car port is attached to the guest house. The kitchen is a gourmet kitchen with a 6 burner Viking stove, Viking wine refrigerator, and large island overlooking the main living area. The property has basketballs, volleyballs, 4 tennis racquets & balls, beach chairs, beach/pool towels, beach umbrellas, wheeled cooler, beach toys, pool toys, giant Connect 4, cornhole, ladder ball, etc. It is a one of a kind property (2.5 acres in total, with gopher turtles & burrowing owls on the grounds). There are multiple outdoor sitting areas to enjoy the grounds which are lushly landscaped. This is a spacious house with plenty of room to enjoy the privacy and beauty of Marco Island.

The guest house has a living/ TV area with a separate kitchen, master suite, and guest suite with a bunk for kids or adult as the bottom has a full bed. There are 10 Televisions and Wifi throughout the home. There is an outdoor grill on the lanai. This property is a tropical paradise ready for your family's enjoyment!

The beaches and dining are all within 1.5 to 2 miles away depending on the destination, but plenty close to ride a bike or walk. There is a bike rental location on the northern end of the island where rentals can be arranged.

My husband and I had a wonderful time at Cateau Marco! We enjoyed the pool every day! Great weather! The house is very comfortable and provided everything we needed to make our stay very enjoyable. We would definitely return to Marco and this house again!

Beautiful, spacious property on Marco Island
This property is large and was absolutely perfect for our purposes. Each of our children was able to have his / her own room with private bath. The pool and tennis courts were amazing, and greatly enjoyed by all. I'm sure that the recent updates improved the property significantly, but prospective renters should be aware that they are not getting a brand new place. The outdoor furniture was different than was suggested by the pictures; certain games were inoperable (eg. Connect four), the play house in poor shape, and the "empty" building somewhat of an eyesore. Having said that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would be happy to come back.

The property was well cleaned and the checkin process was good. However, there were a lot of things broken in the house which made the stay less then perfect. First, the bidet in the master bathroom was leaking heavily from the base leaving large pools of water on the ground. This could be dangerous. The Bathtub in the master was broken. The dishwasher was broken. A lot of the fixtures were broken throughout the house. Pool lights did not works ect... The House was clean but not maintained well. Very unfortunated especially for the price we paid.

Rental is falsely advertised has mold & owner not responsive
Having rented from VRBO multiple times, we will never rent from them again after this experience. This home is NOT as advertised in the description. VRBO did not offer any assistance in dealing with this unresponsive home owner.There was black mold in a bedroom off the billiards room where my pregnant sister was sleeping we noticed it 3 days into the trip.The main slider door in guest house is broken we could not lock it I had small kids sleeping just inside. No beach chairs or supplies as advertised. Multiple outlets and lights not working, including pool lights made it dark for night swimming with Little’s. Shower handle didn’t work in guest house master. We contacted owner immediately with issues and he was not helpful, since our stay he did offer a refund, but still has not followed through on that.

DO NOT STAY HERE
When we arrived we immediately were hit with a terrible odor and discovered a dead rat covered in maggots in the house. We also had no running water. The host continually promised that the "Property Manager" was on the way to fix things. No one ever showed up; I suspect there is no property manager. We removed rat and disinfected area ourselves. We eventually figured out how to turn water on and did that ourselves. Master bath had huge puddle on floor and toilet was inoperable. We bought a new mop and cleaned floor ourselves. Host had told us about toilet/bath problem the day before and promised he would issue us a partial refund. Many other things did not work in house which was very dated. Pool was not heated until mid-week when pool guy came and I asked him about it. Owner has completely ghosted us about refund. VRBO stinks and has been absolutely no help at all. All in all this was a very bad experience which is a shame because property has great potential.

Marco Island family reunion
The house was very large and had adequate room for all 17 of us. The kids loved the bunk room, and the pool was a great hit, as was the tennis court and basketball court. Overall, it was a really nice week for our family. Unfortunately, two bathrooms had outlets that didn't work (one with a hairdryer) as well as burned out lightbulbs. Water leaked from the outside shower into the bathroom and bedroom below, but no response from a text to the manager. Several other small issues should be taken care of with a walk-through of the house before the next renters arrive.

Spacious with great pool!
We had a wonderful time with our family. The pool was fabulous and the beds were comfortable. The reason we give it 3 stars is that the house had multiple deficiencies, such as lightbulbs missing, broken blenders and toaster. There were plenty of inflatable toys but the pump was broken. There were tennis rackets, but no tennis balls. The owner did send a new blender on the day before we left and assured us that he would attend to the other deficiencies on the property. Despite these annoyances the property provides a great venue for a family gathering.

Florida 2022 Family Vacation
Dated but functional. We had sixteen in our group (8 adults and 8 kids ranging in age 7-18 years) so plenty of sleeping spaces. Great outdoor space for kids. Loved the pool. Also has tennis court and basketball hoop which the older kids and adults utilized. Game room with pool table.👍 Games and puzzles 👍 Liked the Turtle Sanctuary. Close and easy to drive to all activities and grocery stores. Visited both beaches. On the down side. Owner might want to check on faculties once in awhile. Fence broken, outside lawn chairs are coming apart, two toasters didn’t work, three blenders did not work, some of the furniture is stained., lights and lamps needed lightbulbs. Needed more dish towels. (which we bought and left). Faucet in one bedroom leaked. Had to clean pool when we arrived. It would be nice if it had some window coverings facing the street side. Found a dead cockroach! But we had a great time of being together.

Marco getaway
The property was very spacious and had plenty to keep you busy or to just relax. The house is showing some age as there are small things that are broken throughout. Nothing that stopped us from enjoying our stay, but it needs a handy man to spend a day repairing cabintes, toilets, appliances etc

Fabulous house on Marco Island!
This beautiful home on Marco Island was the perfect place for my 70th birthday celebration. We ladies had a wonderful time. The property is very lovely and the pool area is fantastic. The beach is close , shops, eateries, and the burrowing owls were worth the trip alone. Fantastic time on Marco Island.

Marco Island mega home.
The property was huge with many amenities including a large pool, tennis court and a small basketball court. Home was being cleaned as we arrived. The home certainly would benefit from a refresh. Many elements seemed years old. With that said, it was comfortable and a very good location. A large pool deck with table that easily accommodated 12-13 people. Would likely visit again but would prefer some new elements.

I took my family, a total of 17 people, to Marco Island for Christmas. It was a great place for everyone. The house is huge! The kids and adults were always busy there--swimming, playing in the game room, playing tennis, basketball, or pickleball. The pool area is beautiful for a large group. We would definitely stay there again.

We rented this party for a planning retreat. The property worked very well for our needs, all six couples were able to have their own spaces and there was plenty of room to gather for meetings, games, and other activities.

i gave this property a 5 because 10 was not an option. I have been booking vacation houses for the family for the past 11 years and there was never one where everyone said they wished we could stay at longer. This was the most well stocked kitchen we have been in. And the game room and outside area made for a wonderful time. And Tony was very responsive to all our questions. already booked a house for next year in Orlando and know it will not (cannot) compare to this one. Thank you Tony.

This was the second time we have rented here and loved the accommodations. We had 21 people ranging from 6 months to 90 years of age. The property offers so much you never need to leave. If you do, the beach is just 2 miles. We set up pickleball on the tennis court, plenty of pool toys and seating. Seating for everyone to eat outside together. Billiards room was nice size for a large group. All around great house!

Perfect for large family vacation
When we first arrived, we were blown away by the sheer magnitude of the home, the pool, guest house, tennis courts. We thoroughly enjoyed the swimming, beaches, fishing, restaurants, and walking around the island. I did send the owner a list of small repairs that would help the property feel like a luxurious, well-maintained home. If they were all completed, I would definitely stay again. We loved the area!
