Luxury Home On Tranquil Tarpon Bay

The home was being cleaned past our check in time. I had to make the guest beds with sheets that were in the dryer. The parking is very limited. The pool isn’t hot and the connected spa is just for looks. The internet didn’t work for the first portion of the stay. The lights weren’t working in many areas, including the laundry that was promised to be fixed but never was so we had to use a flashlight after a day out and about and post sunset. The electrical didn’t work in one of the bedrooms and it took two days to get an electrician who was concerned with the overall electrical of the home; thus concerned me for in case of a fire. Instead of a fire extinguisher I found many open alcohol containers that were seemingly left from past guest. The owner is very slow to respond, if at all. I chose to enjoy my family as much as I could in the end and reported all of this to VRBO.

The home was emaculant at check in. Every inch of the house was clean. Especially noticed in the bathrooms not a sign of any mold or mildew. The house was as advertised. The master and the bunk bed room were located on first floor and three bedrooms upstairs. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need! Pool temperature was a little cold, but local representative turned it up for us. Great location! Saw our dolphin friends every morning in the channel of water the home was located in. Very peaceful that time of year. We were there end of June. Beaches were the best we have ever been! Careful of tiger tail beach. Long walk after parking. We liked the South beach entrance better. Also, home could use cooler with wheels. lol. That’s a whole other story we won’t go into. Our bad! All in all we would highly recommend staying in this home while visiting Marco Island. A beautiful island btw !

I have no choice but to give this home a terrible review. It was a very large home which was great for all our family but so extremely dated. All the carpets upstairs in the bedrooms were disgustingly stained, every stool at the kitchen counter coynter broken that

Home was large & comfortable for my family of ten. Large kitchen could use more plastic dishes/baking pans. Spa is not a hot tub. Pool ok. Canal view but obstructed by beautiful boat at dock. Small dock. Enjoyed staying at this home. & had a wonderful time.

Our family had another wonderful time in Marco Island! The best two things about the house was that Kristin (our property mgr on site) was extremely responsive to any needs we had. Also the house was very clean. We loved the open layout. The pool, which was a bit small, had a netting around it. Even though we always kept an eye on our grandchildren, it gave us a little more security. The lanai was big enough for us, but a little small compared to other homes we've stayed in. Probably wouldn't be big enough if you have older children. The area was quiet and the view was great, except for the owner's huge boat that was in the way. The beds weren't the best, but I've come to expect that in rental homes. One or two of the mattresses should probably be replaced. The house is in need of a major facelift. Some of the baseboards need to be replaced. The furniture is really old, but the sofas were comfortable. But, as I said, it was clean so that wouldn't stop me from staying there again. The main reason why we won't stay there again is the kids' bedroom on the first floor has bunk beds and is very far away from the primary bedroom. With a 3 year old, that just didn't work for us. I should have figured that out when I booked it. If you have older children, it would be fine. They have a crib too. This house is very kid friendly. Overall, I liked the house, but it definitely needs a coat of paint and other maintenance. Thanks again to Kristin - a great host!

The beautiful home was perfect for our family for the week. Great location, well appointed, and an excellent layout. The 2 story lanai, pool and deck area was amazing. We also appreciated that every bedroom had a full bathroom. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality.

Our stay on Tarpon Bay met and exceeded our expectations - with room for everyone. We were able to paddle board with the dolphins on Tarpon Bay, and spent Christmas Eve at the beach to watch sunset! Definitely recommend.

This clean, family friendly home is a good choice. Publix is 2 blocks away and getting around is easy. All of us enjoyed the pool and outside patio. We had small children and two baskets of toys were available for them to play with. We had great food at local restaurants and stopped in at the weekly farmers market. A beautiful and relaxing week.

Great location. The house offered a lot of room and privacy for everyone. Common areas were big enough to sprawl out and screen lanai, and dock were very enjoyable.

This was a great place for our family to stay. There was plenty of room and bathrooms for each bedroom. The pool and lanai were perfect for relaxing. We had small children in our group and appreciated the fencing around the pool. We all enjoyed seeing sting rays, dolphins and manatees in the canal. The large kitchen is well equipped. The house is just three blocks from a Publix grocery store and an easy drive to beaches and restaurants. We would certainly recommend this home for others.
