About this property

WALK or BIKE to beach - Private, Heated Pool, Spacious - Outdoor LUXURY Awaits!

When our family goes on vacation, we invest a lot of time looking for the right 'home away from home', where our children, family & friends will have a great time. We look for a place where we feel comfortable and safe, where the children have a lot of space to play, and where we adults can enjoy a private pool and some outdoor grilling.

We fell in love with Marco Island the very first time we visited, and purchased our home "Tigertail Palms" in 2016. It is located on a side street, very private and quiet. A unique aspect of this property is its proximity to the Marco beach - it is just a short walk, or quick bicycle ride, to the beach. If you prefer to drive to the beach, we are less than a 2 minute drive.

Our home has 2100 square feet of air-conditioned, flexible living space comprising of three bedrooms. It has been renovated from top to bottom with a new kitchen and baths, new indoor and outdoor furnishings and a heated pool. Both adult and child bikes can be easily rented locally, making travel around the island a breeze!

We would love to share our home with you! You will find all the comfort, privacy and amenities you desire. Rest up in the living room on the sofa, relax in one of the cozy lounge chairs reading a book, or be entertained by the flat screen TV's with cable, movies on demand and other internet entertainment. The home has wide floor to ceiling glass doors that can be opened, bringing the outdoor feeling to the inside.

The kitchen is a delight for any chef or hobby cook. It features granite counters and quality appliances. Dining can be inside or outside. Within the enclosed patio, you can also take advantage of the gas grill and enjoy a view of the pool while dining.

The master bedroom is furnished with a large king size mattress bed, and high quality sheets for a good night’s sleep. It has a large built in closet and a modern en-suite bathroom with a double sink, bath tub, and an oversized shower stall. It also features a large flat screen TV.

The second bedroom has a queen size bed with a built in closet, flat screen TV, and access to the guest bathroom. The third guest room has twin beds, and a flat screen TV. The den has a sofa bed which provides additional, flexible sleeping space when needed. Each bedroom is equipped with WIFI, and flat screen TV's were installed in each bedroom earlier this year.

A great variety of private outdoor experiences can be found - you can choose to relax on the patio loungers, splash in the pool, or play games while sitting in the comfortable outdoor seating area. Outdoor dining with a grill in the corner is just steps away. The heated pool is ideal for having tons of fun with all of your family and friends.

Additionally our home has a two-car garage. We also provide beach chairs, umbrellas, a cooler, and water toys should you wish to visit the nearby beach.

Tigertail Palms is an oasis of tranquility within the quaint island city. It is located with easy access to all shopping, dining and attraction areas of Marco Island. At the Tigertail beach access you will find a fantastic children’s playground if the children wish to burn off some additional energy.

Within 3 minutes drive of our home you will find Marco Island Golf Club, Tennis Club, Adventure Mini Golf, stores (Publix, Winn Dixie), restaurants, and boating & fishing opportunities. The main road out of Marco Island leads you directly to the Everglades where you can explore nature by visiting an alligator farm or by going on a breathtaking airboat ride.

Home away from home

The place was easy to find and what great curb appeal. When we open up the front doors the pictures did not do it justice. Has to be the best place i have stayed in in a long time, everything was provided just had to restock the toiletries, the pool was fantastic. I higly recommend rhis location.

The house was lovely, immaculate and in a beautiful neighborhood. We had a great time in the pool and the beach was beautiful! Communication with the owners was so easy and their response was quick.

A wonderful experience

The house was super clean, communication with the property owners was great and they were very responsive, the pool was lovely, and the neighborhood was quiet and friendly. The only downside for us is that there isn't much sun on the pool deck during early January. Overall, a wonderful experience.

Perfect getaway for our young family

Took our three young boys to Marco Island for some much needed sunshine and water. House was a great setup, easy to navigate and the pool was a hit. Hosts were wonderful and quick to respond when we had an issue with the AC. They got someone out that night to fix it and I appreciated how quick they reacted to it. Easy to walk to playground / beach and then hop in car for other activities. Would stay again for sure!

Tiger Tail

The house was clean and spacious, and located in a lovely neighborhood. The pool and patio is very nice. The home is in need of some updates. The mattress on the queen bed needs to be replaced. Also the sofa is very tired and uncomfortable. The walk to the beach is about 30 minutes. The home is located close to wonderful restaurants and shopping.

NYE Marco Stay

Great property, fresh and clean. Very well taken care of with clear pride of ownership throughout. I couldn’t complain about anything if I tried to. Owners were very easy to contact and always helpful and very nice. 10/10 house with 10/10 owners. The pool was great, our kids were sad to leave as were we. Walking distance to the beach. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent from any homes these people own. Thanks for a great vacation and experience!

Disliked: Listing accuracy
The listing indicated a heated pool. It was NOT heated. I called the property owner and they were unable to 'fix' whatever issue they were having...which would have been a responsibility to ensure was working well before our arrival. As a result, no one swam, defeating the purpose of renting the house with a heated pool. Also, for a 4-day stay, we were only allowed 2 washes/dry loads of laundry, each additional load would incur a 45 fee per load..per their lease. And, they asked that we wash the towels before departure. Also, there were NO dish towels, drying rack or sponges in the kitchen. Nice house, great location, but it was disappointing...never had encountered limits on laundry...we're at the beach, we typically would have done 3-4 loads of laundry total over a four day trip, but the 45 surcharge for each additional load (for more than two loads) was outrageous. We didn't do ANY laundry while on this trip...and the cold pool was awful.

About the host

Hosted by Craig and Karin Olmstead

Host profile image
We are a family with two children who enjoy spending as much quality time together as we possibly can. When we first came to Marco we fell in love with the island as it is a beautiful, safe destination with pure white beaches and endless nature. We enjoy walking, shelling, eating outdoors, and relaxing as a family - Marco is an ideal vacation location.

Why they chose this property

After looking at many homes, our family agreed that Tigertail Palms was the right location for us due to its proximity to Marco's beaches. It's in a very nice neighborhood, and is also very close to all the attractions, restaurants and shopping that Marco has to offer. We also appreciated how modern and well kept the property was.

What makes this property unique

Great floor plan with over 2100 sq ft of flexible living space giving your family enough space and privacy in all areas. Walking distance to the beach, and less than a 5 minute drive to supermarkets, pharmacy and shops. The back of the property has a heated swimming pool is fully covered via a lanai. It is located in a quiet street where children can bike safely. The house is spacious, has a new, modern feel to it, and the interior is warm, comfortable and friendly. The outdoor patio with outdoor seating, dining area, grill, loungers, and heated pool allow for a great outdoor experience.
