House was just as beautiful as the pictures!
Hosts were very quick to communicate (and provide advice about Marco island), and the check-in process was simple. House was clean and had lots of amenities. Included plenty of kitchenware and different types of glasses, some beach gear (but not beach towels), kayaks (hosts kindly ask for adult use only), and even fishing poles and a few family games. The bikes looked nice, but we didn't have a chance to ride them (I believe that they were all adult bikes).
Very quiet neighborhood, and never saw any boats on our portion of the canal.
We spent a lot of time in the pool, and ate most of our meals on the beautiful terrace overlooking the pool. I loved having the pass-through window from the kitchen to the terrace - I easily could set drinks or snacks out on the outer counter for the family to grab while enjoying the outdoors.
Pool and deck lights added to the ambiance at night time.
An easy 10min drive to South Beach, and just a few minutes to TigerTail; grocery store and other shops were 3 minutes away.
Overall, it was a very relaxing part of our vacation in a beautiful, clean, and comfortable home on a beautiful island.
