Tropical oasis on the water. Heated pool w. lots of family amenities & games

Lesson learned, we will not be back There are pros and cons to this rental. My family stays in 3-4 rental homes yearly for the past 5 years - this is the first time that I have ever had an issue.On arrival, the kitchen was not cleaned, disorganized, not well stocked for 14 people. There were locks on kitchen cabinet doors that had the owners belongings in them - but were left unlocked. The owner was alerted of these things in addition to other issues, outside of a "thanks for letting me know" there was nothing else done on the owners part. I was surprised that she did not offer to have the cleaning crew come back out.Unfortunately, after leaving we were notified that we would only get a partial security deposit refund due to several damaged items after us leaving - the owner stated that she had photo/video documentation of all of this from her cleaning crew. The things listed that we damaged included the locked cabinets (which she was informed were left open on our arrival) an outdoor pool bench, hinges on a screen door and broken games in the game room. I did discuss this with the owner - discussed that I would pay for the games, but that the other things were not broken by my group. She did provide me with photos of after my group left but not before photos. VRBO was not helpful in disputing this. We felt like we were set up. We will not be back.In the future I will consider purchasing insurance (which we have never needed in the past) and taking my own before/after photos to protect ourselves.

A great spring break!! We visited in late March, two families with 9 total guests. We have kids aged 8 and under. The pool was beautiful and got a ton of use! It was worth it to have it heated for the week. The backyard had a beautiful water view, very nice fire pit & a dock for fishing. The house itself came stocked with many essential items such a pool toys, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, fishing poles, etc. Things we would not have wanted to buy ourselves, so we appreciated that! The location was good, road was a little busy out front but that is no fault of the owner. It was walkable to Starbucks, Walgreens and a couple nearby restaurants and bars. Everything else (beach, Snook Inn, grocery) were all a 7 minute or less drive. Check in was easy and the owner was very easy to get ahold of, quick to respond and very helpful! The only downfall we noted was some general cleanliness of the home. For example there were ant traps on many window sills that seemed to have been there a long time, some of the liquid had spilled out and hardened with dead ants in it and was just gross to look at. I would hope the owner knew these were not being removed and replaced regularly by the cleaners. The other thing was just the general disorganization of the kitchen, drawers, etc. There were many random items being left by other renters and it was hard to always find what we needed. The finishes of the kitchen, appliances, etc themselves were beautiful and very nice. Overall we had an amazing week, thank you!

Terrific Turtle House!!! My family and our friends family had an excellent stay at the turtle house! There was 11 of us total with plenty of room for all. Communication with the host was excellent and then we had no issues. The kids had fun fishing off of the dock, swimming in the pool, and playing in the game room when they weren’t at the beach! I’d highly recommend this property to anyone thinking of staying on beautiful Marco Island.
