We’ve Found Our New Vacation Spot!

This is our favorite vacation spot!!! For years we went to Acadia National Park/Bar Harbor; but, like most National Parks, they are just getting way too overcrowded for us to enjoy ourselves. This beautiful house on Marco Island was a refreshing change for us. As soon as we walked in we felt at home. It was clean, and the attention to detail was evident throughout the house. Then we walked out onto the upper deck and it was so roomy! The deck furniture was super comfy and the resident chef was thrilled to see a clean, stellar grill. Then we headed down to the pool deck and by golly, we found our happy place! The pool was private and gorgeous. This is where we spent most of our time, lounging by the pool and swimming (and even slow dancing in the pool…one of the most romantic moments we’ve had in a while!). Honestly we felt a little guilty that we didn’t explore the island even more than we did, but we were just so relaxed and content at the house we went with it. We did go to Tigertail Beach and oh my stars the shelling was unlike anything we’ve ever seen. We are crafters so we procured some really nice shells (the type that can’t be used by critters again) with unbelievable patterns and colors. The beach was awesome and we played and swam in the ocean for hours. We are northeasters so the water temp was glorious for us. We had a phenomenal dinner at The Deep Lagoon at The Esplanade, the seafood offerings were incredible. Speaking of food, we enjoy a mostly Whole Foods diet so we cook A LOT. As a decent home chef, we found everything we needed in the kitchen and it wasn’t hard to find. We had some really nice meals on the beautiful deck. We were so comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed the layout of the house. The memories we made are priceless, and we can’t wait to make more. Huge thank you to Clausen Properties who were so nice to book with and they responded immediately to any questions we had. We can’t recommend this rental highly enough. 10/10
