Pool & Beach

The house is a great spot to relax in separate spaces or together in the Livingroom, indoor or outdoor dining spaces, or in the pool. The rooms are spacious as well. The quick drive to the beach makes it such a convenient stay.

Cozy vacation spot

We thoroughly enjoyed our time on Marco Island! This house was perfectly situated for us-close to good fishing spots, walkable to shops/restaurants in town and just a bike ride away from the beaches. The neighborhood was quiet, and the house was cozy. Heated swimming pool & dockside nighttime fishing were the cherry on top to a great stay!

Spring break trip

My family of 5 and my parents stayed here for a week during our kids Spring break. The home is located in a beautiful neighborhood. We loved the pool and the view of the canal behind the home. We went fishing off the dock and caught some catfish. The beaches are a quick drive. The home had everything we needed for our family! The owners were quick to answer questions and help us with our needs!The Dyer Family

Wonderful Week in Marco

My husband, 4 young sons, and I so enjoyed our week in Marco Island! We especially loved the layout (big open kitchen and living spaces with 2 bedrooms on one side and 2 on the other side) and the pool! While this house is not walkable to the beach, it is in a nice quiet neighborhood close to some shops and restaurants. The beach and other attractions are an easy drive away. The hosts were very communicative as well. Thanks for sharing your home!

Quiet Neighborhood

The house had everything we needed for a weeks stay. Communication with the owners was quick and easy. The beds were comfy. Our son really enjoyed fishing off the dock and caught a few fish. There was a cold front moving through during our stay so the pool was a little chilly and the adults didn’t get to enjoy it as much as we wanted, but we still had a wonderful time. We even saw a few burrowing owls! There’s so much to do and everything is close by. We plan to return next year!

Great Marco House with Pool

We enjoyed everything Marco had to offer. Beach access on the island is more difficult than other areas, but the beaches are worth it! This house has a large pool area with TV, plenty of spots to sit around, and a view of the waterway behind. The house is spacious and allows people to spread out within it. There are many signs with directions and instructions around the house that is a bit much, but the high ceilings, natural light, and space is great! Would definitely recommend the house.

Great home base for our family

This house was perfect for our needs while staying in Marco Island! It was very centrally located and close to everywhere we wanted to go. The house was very spacious, open, and comfortable, which was important because we spent a good amount of time here. We have young kids and needed a good home base in between our activities. The one thing I would mention, which doesn't impact our good review at all, is just that the two twin beds are very high off the ground, which is hard to tell from the picture. They provide bed rails, which was very helpful. But for our two-year-old in particular, we felt quite nervous having him in that tall of a bed, and he did manage to fall out even with the bed rail on. Our almost 4-year-old was fine, but I just wanted to mention it for anyone who has a younger toddler like we do. We just weren't expecting the beds to be that high! Overall, we had a great experience here and would recommend it!

A great family and friends stay

We truly enjoyed our 5 weeks at this home. It was large enough and the floor plan was excellent for our group when we had 6-8 of us living there! The pool was excellent and the grandkids could not get enough time in the water. We love the canal access and when renting a boat for 10 days truly took advantage of the dock. Also it's location for groceries, drug stores, restaurants and other shopping was perfect. Thanks Dianne and Brian for the opportunity to build great memories in your Marco home!

About the host

Hosted by Dianne Rice-Hansen and Brian Hansen

Host profile image
We are a hard working middle aged couple who love to travel, are avid boaters and love to spend warm summer days at our lake home back in Maine.
We, along with our family and friends spend as much time as we possibly can on the Island and on our boat appropriately named "Idle Speed", but until we can find ourselves able to become true snow birds we are opening up our home to renters. Come enjoy our little piece of our paradise.

Why they chose this property

After spending the last 50+ years with only 3 months of summers and very long cold Maine winters we decided to go in search of a warmer land and a home away from home in the "Sunshine State" of Florida. We wanted to find a place that in our off season months could offer everything the summers in Maine did. After a long 8 year search we drove across the Bridge and on to Marco Island and found just what we were searching for. We purchased a condo in 2015 and after two years decided we wanted a place we could entertain our entire family at so we went in search of a house. When we walked in we knew it was the one for us, after returning to view it three times we made an offer and took possession in early June 2017. We immediately began renting our property and didn't even have the chance to stay one night in our new home before Marco Island endured a direct hit by Hurricane Irma. 3 days after the storm we arrived to see the chaos that ensues following a powerful category 3 hurricane. Although Hurricane Irma did try to rain on our parade we were truly blessed to only sustain minor damages and were able to continue to open our home to renters, some who had vacation properties cancelled at the last minute due to storm damage. It was certainly a learning experience and far different than a Maine Noreaster. Having now endured multiple hurricanes Irma 2017, Ian 2022, Milton. And Helene 2024 and after unexpectidly being stuck and riding out Ian's terrifying record storm surge at our home, watching helplessly as our boat listed and took on water, and the water rise to within 6 inches of breaching our Lanai and garage we knew it was time for some updrades. These much needed upgrade include
full hurricane shutters in April 2025, and a new dock and seawall being built in Aug/Sept 2025 to get our elevation from the current 8 ft to 11 ft.

What makes this property unique

Our home spoke to us on so many levels, the large pool and Lanai space provide the perfect area for families to gather and enjoy. We could see not only our family here but our tenants enjoying relaxing days by the pool while dad/grampa and little Billy fished from the dock catching sea creatures from the canal. The quietness of the neighborhood, the friendly folks around us, the close proximity to shopping, restaurants and beach access points, and the gulf by the Marco Island Waterways made us realize we had found the perfect place not just for us but for those we wanted to share it with.
