"This home provided us with the perfect set up for family traveling from Pennsylvania and Montana. The home is fully furnished and provides a kitchen that is stocked with everything you may need. We loved the residential setting and yet .3 miles to the grocery store, and biking to the beach and parks. Friendly, safe neighborhood with gopher turtles and iguanas. The pool and spa made it a complete package. We would highly recommend this home to anyone coming to Marco.

"What a perfect getaway! This was my second time here and won't be my last. The first time was spent with 5 friends and the most recent trip was a romantic one with my partner. The house is absolutely beautiful, clean, and comfortable. Ken and Sue have every detail covered to make sure you have everything you need including detailed information for the property and the surrounding area. We enjoyed the house so much we barely felt the need to leave and explore. Our days looked like this: mornings drinking coffee on the patio, reading books by the pool all day, cooking dinner on the grill or in the large kitchen (stocked with all the cookware you can think of), and enjoying it al fresco on the lanai. We did leave each night to watch the sunset at the local beach but quickly returned to enjoy the night in the hot tub with a few cocktails. It was sad to have each great day end but going to sleep in a giant comfortable bed helped! I highly recommend booking this for your next trip. It's a perfect place to spend with your partner, friends, or family. Sue, Ken and Clausen Properties will take great care of you! 10/10 recommend.

"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

"This rental is so beautifully decorated and comfortable. It had everything we needed, including complete kitchen amenities. The layout is open yet there is a lot of privacy with the master bedroom on one side of the top floor and the guest bedrooms on the other side. And there is even an entire guest suite on the lower level! There is plenty of room to gather or entertain both upstairs and down, inside and out. It was conveniently located just a couple of minutes from the grocery store but in a beautiful neighborhood. I enjoyed hanging out in the lush backyard every morning and we used the wonderful hot tub at night. This is the best property I’ve ever rented and I would absolutely return at any time. The owners have done a magnificent job thinking of everything that you could possibly need. The furnishings and decor are high end and the house is very well cared for and maintained. Simply perfection!

"We were lucky enough to rent this lovely property for the last 2 weeks and still have a week to go. As my 10-year-old grandson said, "I would give it 6 out of 5 stars". For once listening to his simple statement, might be the most accurate review. We have rented many units and we have never found one outfitted like this: 1. The kitchen is outfitted to the maximum. We needed nothing else to make every meal. 2. Pool and hot tube are the envy of our friends and family who have been here. 3. Beach supplies are the best we have every been lucky enough to have at a unit. We loved shelling at Tigertail Beach and enjoyed South Beach, because it was so close and relaxing. 4. The grill is wonderful. Make sure to visit the local fish markets for the best fish. 5. Local restaurants and grills have been fantastic. Some of our favorites have been: Leebe's for grilled grouper lunch, Sunset Grill for lunch and a drink or later in the day for the sunset and Joeys Pasta Deli. 6. Goodland is also a fun town a few miles down the road for music and drinks. 7. Boating is great on the Everglade airboats and the morning fishing trips. Hope you have as much fun we have.

"A great couples vacation, also plenty of room to bring your family! This beautifully decorated meticulous home was a great start to our first visit to Marco Island. It’s a great location for exploring all the island had to offer. This home has been beautifully updated and has a great floor plan, master on one side of the house and guest bedrooms and full bath on the other(even a in law suite in lower level). The center of the home is a large living room open to the dining area and kitchen is fully stocked with anything needed. The back wall is all sliding glass doors making it so bright and light! They are drapes for privacy and to help be more energy efficient by keeping the sun out in the afternoon.We loved the privacy and convience of having a beautiful swimming pool and hot tub, Lania and screen porch and shaded spaces with lots of comfy outdoor furnishings. We loved eating out side. The beds and linens are very comfortable and quality.You will love the location short easy drive to Beaches,restaurants,stores and a great neighborhood for walking.We thank the owners for their hospitality!

"This was the perfect family getaway, conveniently located to the beach, restaurants, and grocery stores. We brought the whole family, grandparents, parents and kids (6 & 3) and there was something for everyone to enjoy. The lanai provided a great place to quietly read a book and drink coffee before the kids woke up. The massive sliding doors really opened up the space! Everyone loved the pool area; you can tell some serious planning went into the details of this space! The beach was just a few minutes down the road. We got some great seashells!

The kitchen is a dream to work in, the owners have provided everything you’ll need to make your meals at home so that you can enjoy the upstairs lanai for dining - no meals were eaten inside! The pool and spa tub were definitely the highlight, every afternoon turned into a lazy one, using the pool floats and chairs on the sun shelf to nap, read a book, or just dream. The house is tastefully decorated and really well appointed, with plenty of bath towels and beach towels, and laundry in the main bath. It’s a quiet neighborhood but close to the grocery store, and an easy drive to anything on the island. I hope to come back next year!

We truly enjoyed our stay in Marco Island. We stayed there with friends. Our friends stayed in the house, and my husband and I stayed in the separate guest suite. For us, it was truly the best of both worlds. We could enjoy our friends' company, but also have some privacy. We all enjoyed the pool and the spa. The owners thought of everything. All the beds were extremely comfortable. There were televisions in each bedroom. The house was beautifully decorated and the floor plan worked well for all of us. There were hair dryers in every bathroom. We all truly enjoyed all the amenities the home offered. We often ate outside at the table on the big screened in deck and barbecued or conversed in the sitting area. The weather could not have been better. We found everything we needed in the large, well appointed kitchen. We enjoyed everything Marco Island had to offer. We enjoyed shelling on the beach, eating lunch on a leisurely boat cruise, going on an airboat ride, watching the sunsets, and dining at the Snook Inn. We highly recommend this vacation house.
