About

This 2,000 square foot waterfront house is located on a key lot, which is a real estate term that in common English means, “Wow, can you believe all this space? A huge yard and water on all sides. It’s like our own little tropical island.”

The house sleeps six, with one king bed, two queens and two bathrooms. It also comes with a two-car garage. You get more room, more views and more privacy. When you’re on your lanai, looking out at the turquoise water with a shoreline mangroves, your nearest neighbors are the dolphins and manatee on their way to the Marco River, which is the same way you’ll be heading if you have a boat. The private dock is so close to the river you can see it from the lanai.

One other advantage of a bigger lot is a bigger heated pool. With all the pool toys that come with the house, good luck getting the kids out of the water. The gas grill and table cooled by an overhead fan will make poolside barbeques your favorite meal of the day.

The bright interior is the perfect complement to the tranquil water view. White-tiled rooms with vaulted ceilings are filled with modern furniture as comfortable as it is stylish.

A sectional sofa faces a fireplace with a stone mantel between two floor-to-ceiling windows and a view of the lush garden. On the adjacent wall is the entertainment center with a big screen television. In the family room there a pool table and bar.

The kitchen, with recessed ceilings and granite countertops, comes equipped with all the modern appliances and cookware you need to serve a family dinner on a table with a water view.

The master suite features two-toned wooden bedroom furniture and an arched doorway leading to the dreamy ensuite bathroom. The other bedrooms come with sliding door access to the lanai, so you can fall asleep to the fragrant night winds off the water.

The house offers plenty of amenities for your comfort and convenience, including air conditioning and heating, ceiling fans, free wi-fi, cable, linens, towels and a washer and dryer. It also comes with beach essentials like beach towels, beach chairs, cooler and umbrella.

When you want to dine out or shop, you’re just a short walk from the Shops of Marco, where you’ll find a grocery store and pharmacy, salons and spas, clothing boutiques and plenty of restaurants.

The vacation of a lifetime is waiting for you at Starfish Court.

We had a great 2 week stay!!! The house was clean when we arrived and had no large problems come up. We had a few minor things that needed to be taken care of, but management was quick to respond back to us and fix the issues. I would recommend this house to anyone coming to Marco Island.

The location is ideal . The pool was nice . The house was not clean, the refrigerator was full of food stains, there was layers of grease stains on and surrounding the stove area, this was the first time I had to buy cleaning products to clean the house before use as there was no disinfectants provided . The windows are full of mold and algae . There is a lot of water damage on the inside obviously from being flooded from the hurricane. The lower inside of the doors are rotting and warped, this would be an ideal stay if the property was maintained and cleaned properly . The property management company was great to work with as we had no air conditioning and they took action immediately to remedy the issue . For the cost of the rental, I was disappointed in the condition and cleanliness .

Manager's Response

Thank you very much for your valuable feedback, Carol. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the cleanliness of the property not meeting your expectations. If we had been informed about this issue, we would have immediately sent our housekeeping staff to take care of it. We have since had the property deep cleaned to ensure that it meets our high standards. Additionally, we want to clarify that the property did not sustain any water damage from the hurricane. However, we are not sure which doors you are referring to. Once again, Carol, we appreciate your valuable feedback and look forward to hosting you again in the future!

We based our decision on the rental property according to the previous review and pictures. Yes, exactly what we were looking for, a beautiful home, all the features, gas grill, private pool and fishing. Everything was fine until we decided to grill. It was so rusted out it could barely stand on its own. Hoping our steaks would be done before it collapsed on the floor. Then it was time for a nice relaxing swim. That is the biggest negative. The pool did NOT have a hand rail to get in/out as the photos show. No problem if you don't have any knee issues. I literally had to crawl on my hands and knees to get in and exit the pool. Not only dangerous, but painful. This property should have a SPECIAL notice to ALL guests: Any knee or bending issues this property is NOT for YOU!!! One episode of that experience was enough. This was on day 1. So that left fishing which amounted to cat fish and watch a few dolphins swim by. Not impressed and very disappointed in the misrepresentation presented in the description and photos. It's not like you can drive up and look at everything before you pay your rental charge. Everything is due up front and we feel we were deeply taken advantage of. What is vacation for other than rent a very beautiful home with all the amenities.

Manager's Response

Thank you very much for your valuable feedback, Kathy. The property owner has since replaced the grill and the pool company has since replaced the pool handrail. Once again, Kathy, we appreciate your valuable feedback and look forward to hosting you again in the future!

We had a great time. The house was well stocked with dishes and such. The pool and dock were wonderful. Neighbor to the left of the house if facing the house were friendly. House was clean. Improvements that are needed are the hot water did not work very well in the guest "bathroom", the snook lights on the dock did not work, and the shower in the master leaked water all over the floor every time it was used. Overall a great stay and would stay again. The rental property agency sent a maintenance man over to fix the snook light but it could not be fixed at the time. The rental agency were awesome to work with.

This was a perfect property for are vacation from the U.K. this was are fourteenth time to Marco and would stay at this villa again
Andrew and his team at Marco Vacation’s we’re one of the best we have ever dealt with and made the booking so easy
One thing that I would recommend is a weight for the parasol as it kept trying to blow away when we fitted in the boat deck table so was unable to use it

Everything was really wonderful. The management company was very helpful, responded to questions quick and communicated well. My only complaint was the bugs (ants and roaches) and difficulty with hot water at times but honestly it didn't bring the value down. We really enjoyed our time and the house was perfect for our needs. Thank you.

Our vacation rental experience was perfect for us.
Marco Island Vacation Properties made the experience so easy, right from the initial enquiry to checking out when our holiday ended.
We booked the property due to the location. The views from the dock were stunning. We spent hours watching the dolphins, Manatees and birds feeding, fish jumping and lizards of all sizes going about their business.
The property was decorated and equipped to a good standard for a vacation. We will be back.

Overall good experience. Location was beautiful, convenient and safe. Pool and view were most enjoyable. The worst issues were the king bed was sunken in the middle making it very uncomfortable to the point that many nights one of the people sleeping there would have to come
Out to the couch. The other issue was when we arrived and settled into the room we decided to stay in(we had an extra bedroom that did t need to be occupied), when we were about to get into bed, there was no fitted sheet on the made bed - just the mattress pad and one flat sheet. Very disappointing based on the price we paid for the place. Also, many places make it so much more convenient by providing the necessities - toilet paper, soap, shampoo, etc. That is not the case here. Finally, at the end they want you to do the laundry for them too. Again, given the price for the place and the fact that this is our vacation, I think that becomes an over-the-top ask of clients.

This property has wonderful views! The pool was a delight as well as meeting the local Gator as he made his rounds. We also got to see some dolphins making their rounds.
The property itself is very roomy, comfortable and has everything you need.
The cleanliness wasn't perfect, but nothing extreme at all. There are tons of towels for the pool and the bathrooms.
We had a couple issues, but the managers took care of them quickly and were very friendly & professional at the same time.
We would visit this property again!

This home has a great view and the pool is exceptional. If you're spending most of your time outdoors, then this rental maybe be fine for most. Indoors however, the house lacks in many ways. Updates, new furniture and general maintenance is sorely needed. Some of the upholstered furniture is too dirty to sit on. House could be cleaner overall, the tile floors felt sticky in places. The property was supplied well and has most of what you need including pool accessories, fishing rods and beach chairs. We had a good week spending time outdoors and boating, so it worked okay for us. Would not recommend the house itself for the reasons stated.

My wife, two teenage boys and I had a near perfect vacation in this lovely home. The view over the preserve across the water made us feel like we were in total seclusion. We loved the many wonderful seagulls and herons who visited and allowed such photographic opportunities. We rented a boat to take full advantage of the great location on the southern part of the island. Just around the corner, down the river and into the gulf and just around the corner from shopping, church and the marinas. The house had everything to enable relaxation. Fishing poles set up to catch fish off the dock and beach chairs to make our beach trips perfect. The kitchen had everything we needed, just like home. The master bath was just what my wife needed for spa like relaxation. The boys made full use of the pool. The boys and I really enjoyed the competition and recreation of the pool table. Both of my boys separately came to me and without prompting told me this was the best vacation ever, and we have taken a lot of great beach and cruise vacations. The only thing that kept it from being perfect was the mattress in the master bedroom was in need of being replaced, in my opinion. You will not go wrong with selecting this lovely quiet home.

A great place to stay with wonderful views. Watch the dolphins go by from the pool, or the pelicans dive just off the sea wall!

A perfect vacation

This large 3 Br/2 Bath house worked well for our four-person group. The kitchen was well equipped and the patio had a new grill. The pool was fine when the weather cooperated (it was a cool season for us). Supermarket/liquor shopping was only about one half mile away. Very nice restaurants are very close.
The house is situated on a quite canal (sun in the morning and early afternoon over the pool area). We often enjoyed the afternoon sun in the front of the house.
