About this property

5 min walk to Marco Beach, JW Marriott, Heated Pool, Free Bikes, South Exposure

READ THE REVIEWS FIRST! Believe it... you'll stay at one of the closest houses to the central (best) public beach entrance! You will love how quick the walk is to the main attraction: Marco Island’s 6 mile long white sand beach, calm, warm gulf water and endless collectible shells! Just a short 5 minute walk to the beach and the JW Marriott Resort and Spa. Spacious yet cozy 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, one-of-a-kind Key West style house brimming with old Florida charm, landscaped with native and Florida friendly plant species. This house is the perfect backdrop for your tropical island getaway. Sit back and relax by the huge southern exposure heated screened-in pool at this seaside cottage fully stocked for your vacation in paradise. Much more than a hotel room or a bare bones rental, every room has been specially curated with guests in mind.
Full size soaps, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryers, ice maker, coolers, kitchen wares, (even waffle irons!) and decorated in casual coastal style with touches of whimsy, original art, Wi-Fi, games, books, magazines and puzzles.
Three unique bedrooms each with cable and smart TVs with streaming apps, private bathrooms and bidets on every toilet. Ample toilet paper, towels, bath bombs, bubble bath, full size shampoo, conditioner, body wash, make up remover cloths and hairdryers in every bathroom. Forgot a toothbrush? Need an aspirin? Extras of the necessities are always complimentary.
Master bedroom has Cal king pillow top hybrid bed (longer than regular king) and a 55” smart tv. Main floor guest suite has 2 queen beds - one hybrid plush mattress, one tempurpedic, and upstairs open loft suite has king size bed and 2 convertible couches that open into twin beds. Projector with Roku tv and all the apps. Extension cords next to beds to accommodate chargers.
Feed and be mesmerized by the tropical fish in the 60 gallon saltwater reef tank. Play the piano! Rock on the front porch and relax on the spacious back porch then take a leisurely dip in the wrap-around heated pool (no extra heating charge! 88 degrees in winter, or warmer in summer, just like the JW Marriott) Pool towels and floats provided, 2 outdoor dining spaces by pool and gas grill. Outdoor shower with hot and cold water.
Need to work on vacay? No problem. New fiber optic Wi-Fi is complimentary... And you will have the best zoom meeting backgrounds ever!
Laundry room with ample supplies. Whole house Kinetico water dechlorinator and softener, for soft skin and hair. Kitchen additionally has reverse osmosis under-sink water purifier that also makes ice cubes. Guests can expect all the comforts of home: laundry detergent, dish soap, hand soap, cleaning products, paper towels, garbage bags, and more. Both Keurig and Mr. Coffee makers with coffee pods, coffee, assorted teas, creamer, sugar, local honey, assorted sweeteners.
Pool and beach towels, beach chairs, toys, cooler, picnic basket, umbrella. Six (6) bikes with baskets, lights and bells. Full size fridge and freezer in garage. Full use of garage for parking encouraged.

We couldn’t be happier . The location and house was perfect for my family. The owner even had a pack&play, toys and books for the kids. We only wished we could have had a longer vacation to enjoy the house. We fell in love with Marco Island and would highly recommend staying at this property.

About the host

Hosted by Becky Irwin

Host profile image

As your host, I love helping guests experience the very best of Marco Island. I am a local Realtor with designations as a Marco Island Specialist and Resort & Second Property Specialist, and I have deep roots here on the island.
I first lived on Marco Island as a child in the early 1980s before my family moved to Fort Lauderdale. After growing up there and raising my own family, I was fortunate to return to my childhood home on Marco in 2013. Coming back felt like coming full circle.
Marco Island is truly a magical place. It was an incredible place to grow up, and it is even more special to enjoy as an adult. I love sharing that experience with visitors and helping them discover the beauty, charm, and lifestyle that make this island so unique.
I stay actively involved in the community by volunteering with the museum, local cat shelter, art center, and women’s clubs, and I also served as an elected member of the city council.
Hosting allows me to welcome guests not just to a vacation home, but to my favorite place on earth. Many guests return again and again, and many become lifelong friends and neighbors.

Why they chose this property

What I love most about this Marco Island neighborhood is how perfectly it captures the relaxed island lifestyle. You are just a short walk to the beach, where mornings start with coffee by the pool and evenings end with incredible sunsets over the glistening Gulf and white sand. Being close to the JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort means easy access to great restaurants, spa days, and beachfront cocktails, while still enjoying the privacy and comfort of a quiet residential street.
Shopping, casual and fine dining, ice cream and local favorites are all nearby within a 15 minute walk or bike rise, so you can park the car in the garage and truly settle into vacation mode. I love that this area feels peaceful and tucked away, yet everything you need is within minutes. It is one of the best spots on the island for enjoying both convenience and that special laid-back Marco Island charm.

What makes this property unique

One of the most unique features of this home is the third bedroom loft, tucked at the top of a charming spiral staircase. This upstairs retreat offers a super-comfortable king bed, plus two convertible couches that create a cozy sitting area by day and transform into two twin beds at night, making it perfect for kids, teens, or extra guests. A projector with Roku and streaming apps turns the loft into a fun private theater room for movie nights after the beach.
Each of the three full bathrooms includes a walk-in shower and a bidet on every toilet, along with thoughtful extras to make your stay feel effortless and comfortable.
The outdoor spaces are just as special. The property is beautifully landscaped with drought-resistant succulents and Florida-friendly native plants for a true tropical feel. Instead of grass, the yard features loose Chattahoochee stone, which helps keep the property clean and practical for beach living. Being so close to the beach means easy access to the sand and surf, but thanks to the outdoor hot and cold shower, guests can rinse off before coming inside and leave the grit where it belongs.
From the wraparound heated pool to the charming Key West style design, this home is full of character and thoughtful details. Guests often tell us the same thing after arrival: “It’s even better than the photos!”
