About this house rental
You’re right in the heart of the Island and right on the water in this 2,000 square foot, four-bedroom waterfront home. It sleeps eight, with one king bed, two queens, two twins and two bathrooms. It also comes with a two-car garage.
The interior was furnished under the theory that there’s no such thing as too much style or comfort. The rooms are tastefully decorated with seashells, lush ferns, and colorful fabrics to create an easygoing coastal feel. Sliding glass doors beneath arched windows brighten the space with natural light.
The deluxe modern kitchen features pendant lighting and barstools along the granite countertop. It comes equipped with all the modern appliances and cookware you need to prepare everything from a sit-down family dinner to a tray of cocktails to serve guests on the lanai.
The palatial master suite contains a shoji screen and television, and it opens up to the lanai, cooling you with fragrant breezes and sending you to sleep to the sound of wind-rustled palm trees. The ensuite bathroom features a bathtub beside a shuttered arched window with a garden view. The other bedrooms are every bit as inviting, with stylish décor and plenty of closet and drawer space.
The lanai overlooks a tranquil waterway lined with palm trees, and it faces south for a full day of sun as you swim in the heated pool. You’ve also got a gas grill, so the family barbeque chef will work overtime filling orders for all the poolside lunches you enjoy on the shaded table. After lunch, head down to your private dock and take out your boat or just lie back on a sun lounger watching for a passing dolphin or manatee.
No comfort or convenience is overlooked in this house. You’ve got air conditioning and heating, ceiling fans, free-wi-fi, cable, linens, towels and a washer and dryer. You’ve also got bicycles to explore the Island, along with beach essentials like beach towels, beach chairs, cooler and umbrella.
One of Marco Island’s most popular family attractions, Mackle Park, is just a short walk from the house. It’s filled with covered basketball courts, volleyball, shuffleboard, tetherball, a soccer field, and for the younger kids, a splashpad and an enormous jungle gym in a pirate ship-themed playground. Inside the community center, you’ll find two billiards tables, ping-pong and foosball tables and a large gymnastics area. There’s even a lake where you can take a scenic walk around.
So come experience your own private waterfront retreat.

Will be coming back to this location for sure. A few minor things that needed attention and once the management team at Marco Island Vacation Properties were aware they rectified immediately. Very impressed with this team, especially Andrew Vale. We loved this property. It was perfect for us and the photos are accurate. The owners are are very generous with the amenities especially the laundry, cleaning products and the well stocked kitchen. More equipment there than I have at home. Look forward to our next stay.

This was a beautiful well laid out property which was very clean and well equipped. It had everything we could possibly need. Lovely outside areas around the pool which is south facing so gets sun all day and great to watch the beautiful sunsets in the evening. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay here making good use of fishing rods to catch catfish off the dock and used the bikes to go out cycling. I would recommend this house for a vacation rental.

Yes this was the perfect getaway. The house/pool are spectacular. We enjoyed biking to the beach everyday. Morning coffee and evening cocktails on dock offered great scenery, including occasional pods of dolphins. Any questions/issues were promptly addressed. We highly recommend and plan to return ASAP!

My family - me, my husband, our 2 adult children, really enjoyed our stay at 1279 Balboa Court. The home is lovely, filled with light, with a nice view looking out over the pool and canal, and with a view of the sunset. We stayed during Covid and were very happy to have a well equipped kitchen and a grill available to enjoy cooking together. We enjoyed having the use of 4+ bicycles for adventures to the beach. We also walked to the beach more than once. The house is in a great location - quiet and easy to get around. 1/2 block from Mackey park for a nice stroll and access to basketball court. The home's saltwater pool was warm enough for daily swims. The beds are comfortable. This house has everything we needed and we have zero complaints. I definitely recommend this home and agency and would definitely stay here and rent from MIVP again.

Wax ring in master bath needs some work as does the inside of the shower door needs a good scrub down.
The grill needs a good cleaning also--but I'm might be a little obsessive compulsive!

Great location and wonderful property. Only downgraded condition and cleanliness due to outside amenities. The dock needs some maintenance due to splintering boards and the pool area was littered with plant and lizard droppings. Don’t mean to complain, just notes to the management and owners to make it even better! Wonderful wildlife sightings from the property. The park across the street was a highlight for activities and exercise. Great farmers market on Wednesdays! You can’t go wrong with this place. MIVP is superior with service and response.

A lot of rentals have out-dated photos. The place looks nice online, but when you get there, everything is a little run-down. That is not the case here. The place is beautiful with high-quality furniture and construction so you really feel comfortable and at home. The garage is excellent, the lanai and seamless connection between inside and outside is fantastic. The pool is lovely. The garage has a lot of extras to help with a beach trip - cooler, chairs, umbrella, etc. The bikes are a little rickety, but work for maybe 3 to ride around or to the beach and back at a comfortable, chill pace. The Wednesday Farmer's Market is across the street, and is a MUST.

House was incredible. Clean and well appointed... location was wonderful....management company was spot on info given and ease of check in made it a relaxing and comfortable stay ....start to finish.....Marco island is a wonderful spot to vacation! Should be aware that there is no dishwasher soap, detergent for the wash machine or garbage bags so on your first trip to Publix you may want to include those items........afternoons by the pool were a slice of heaven!

We had a great stay at 1279 Balboa Court. The property was nicely equipped and the pool was fantastic! If you're looking to walk to the beach, it's a bit too far to tote beach chairs, etc. The bikes that are available make it doable. However, if you're bringing tons of stuff, I recommend that you drive. We did have a few minor issues during our stay, but they were all handled promptly. Overall, I definitely recommend this property and the agency. We'll be back!

We loved everything about the house! Great pool, great location for kids near Mackle park and so many other positives! Please do listen to the noise rules as we did get a visit from the police about noise issues. I think this is common on the island, but just want to remind people.

Peaceful R and R for several family members who enjoyed the coziness of the house and surroundings.
Great location. Appreciated the fact that that the house had a great kitchen to work in. However, the stovetop was difficult to operate. We ate in for our time at the house. The rest of the house had everything we needed.

We just returned from a 6 night stay at this beautiful home. The home is very beautifully decorated. Very spacious. Very comfortable and homey feeling. The kitchen is well equipped with cookware, two flatware drawers, tons of dishes. Surprisingly, there isn't a pantry, but we did find two spacious drawers to put our food in. The refrigerator was dirty upon check-in. Fingerprints all over the outside and grimy on the inside. But, I gave it a wipe down, so no worries.The pool was unswimmable until the very last day. It was totally green upon arrival. The pool guys came out and worked on the pool for 3 days in a row. They told us the family before us had many kids who swam in the pool constantly and the chemicals became unbalanced.So, it was a bummer for the kids to not get to swim until the last day.The house is beautifully decorated. Check-in was very easy. The location of the house is very convenient to Publix and several restaurants. The house came with bikes which was nice. We'd stay here again if the pool situation improves. Kids really need a pool on vacation. :)

We absolutely loved this wonderful home! It is beautifully decorated and you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. Furnishings are high quality, beds are very comfortable. The house is very clean and the owner had lots of little extras like ziplock bags, hand soap, Tupperware, etc. This was great since we flew in would have had to buy those little extras. We loved the lanai and pool area. Great outdoor furniture. Highly recommend this house. We loved Marco Island - it was our first visit and except for a couple days of rain (thanks a Subtropical Alberto) we had a great time exploring the island.

I brought my family to Marco Island for a week long summer break. We have always stayed at the Marriott before but this time opted for a home to give us more space. What a great decision that turned out to be! The home is beautiful, the beds are comfortable, the outdoor entertainment area is fantastic and overall we couldn’t have had a better experience. We will most certainly stay here again.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Marco island vacations, they’ve been excellent and Andrew has responded quickly to any issues we’ve had. We would definitely use them again when we come back to Marco.
Balboa Court is clean, light and spacious, and the lanai area is large and comfortable with the cushioned seating area. It gets sun all day. Just as a small suggestion, it would be nice to have cushions for the two loungers and a parasol. The bikes were great and Mackle Park is right across the road.
If you are considering renting Balboa, be aware that there is a loud air con unit which runs all through the day and night beside the master bedroom and the pool which belongs to the neighbouring property. The canal is not a wide one so neighbouring homes are quite close. We saw a dolphin in the canal one morning!
Overall, everything you need for a wonderful holiday is there. Andrew is fully committed to ensuring everything runs as smoothly as possible and is great to work with.
