DOLPHIN BUNGALOW! Remodeled water front getaway in the heart of Old Marco

Classic water front Marco Island pool home 5 minutes to the Gulf of Mexico by boat. Walking distance to shops, restaurants and amenities. This classic home has been extensively remodeled with luxury and comfort in mind. Relax by the heated salt water pool while overlooking the water by your private dock, or stay inside and enjoy your 65" inch flat screen smart TV with WiFi. The master bedroom boasts a king size bed with private bathroom just remodeled, along with a 55'' smart TV. The other two rooms share a remodeled bathroom with one room having a queen size bed and the other one has two single beds. New granite counter tops and furniture along with new floors, beds, vanities, toilets, appliances and utensils. Kinda hard to find what hasn't been replaced. All other areas on Marco can be reached by walking, the two bicycles in the garage with helmets or a very reasonable cab ride. Not too much traffic on this dead end street to add to the calm and relaxing Marco Island charm. Beach cart, beach buggy, beach chairs, multiple coolers and an umbrella in the garage ready for the beach. There's also a Pac and Play, high chair, pool floats and 3 kids life vests. The best thing about being on the water is you just set back and forget about everything. Thanks for inquiring about my home.

Best Vacation Rental EVER!
This house was just perfect! We thoroughly enjoyed the lovely canal-setting and sunsets from the dock. The home was very attractively renovated and furnished, and the owners display incredible attention to detail in the wide variety of kitchen, pool, and beach items provided. We really enjoyed our communications with Matt who was always very enthusiastic and shared great information.

A Place To Be
Great family vacation from top to bottom. This vrbo has it all from beach chairs and toys to enjoy the white sandy beaches with the kids. To a wine opener to enjoy a glass of wine on the back patio with the beautiful sunsets. Matt was easy to work with and always easy accessible when you had a question. Can’t beat the amenities this vrbo has. We will definitely be back.

Bungalow Bliss
My husband and I came upon this property after 2 previous rentals canceled on us. What a blessing! This little bungalow was clean, had comfortable beds, a well stocked kitchen, bicycles, pool toys and enough beach items to make every trip to the beach easy. The location is excellent, we could walk and bike to Rose Marina, coffee shops, Annies, The Snook, Speakeasy, 844 and many other delicious and fun establishments. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly and the view from the pool area and dock is lovely. Matt is a friendly property manager, always helping and offering suggestions. February 2024 was an awesome vacation!

A-1 property and owner.
Love this property. Matt was by far the best owner we have dealt with on The Vrbo or Home and Away website. Quick to address our concerns or questions. Being the first time on Marco Island his recommendations made our stay so enjoyable. The house was so comfortable even though we spent most of our time when we were there on the Lania, pool or the back dock. Everything you need for the beach If you decide to go and definitely bring the beach cart with you since it is a good walk from the parking areas . Will definitely rent one of Matt’s properties on our next visit. A Plus experience

Excellent visit!
Matt was an amazing host and his property was perfect in every way! Plenty of space, very well appointed home for travellers flying into the area (ample kitchen, plenty of beach gear), and an amazing pool and dock view. We appreciated all the communication, found the home to be very convenient to all of the Marco Island goings-on, and would love to visit again! 10 out if 10 recommend :)

Great and Relaxing Stay
We enjoyed our stay. The place was clean (probably one of the best we've stayed at through VRBO). The saltwater pool was nice (kids liked it, although it isn't very large). There was a nice patio to eat outside each night. Location is good. Overall, we were very pleased and hope to return in the near future if it's available.

Wonderful Retreat
We had a great stay in Marco Island. The house was in a great location (close to everything), and in a lovely neighborhood right on the water. We enjoyed relaxing at the house just as much as our other Marco Island activities! The house had everything you might need, so it felt like staying in a second home away from home. It was exceptionally clean and well kept and the manager, Matt, made the entire process easy and stress free. He was super communicative, easy to reach, and gave us such great info and tips on how best to enjoy our stay there on Marco! Highly recommend, 10 out of 10!!!

Perfect Marco Island home
My wife and I stayed with our 15-month-old daughter in Matt’s home for a quick long-weekend on Marco Island. There really isn’t much to say other than the experience being flawless and the home having everything that you need. The location is great, and any of the extras that you might think you could forget to pack are likely already contained inside the house. Looking forward to coming back soon!

Perfect Location for Boaters
We loved the location of this house. Easy access to Keewaydin Island. My 5 year old caught fish right from the dock every day. The house provided us with everything we could have needed. Beach toys, chairs, wagon, umbrella AND fishing poles were a huge PLUS! Thanks to Matt for communicating with us regularly if we had questions. Would love to be back!
