About this house rental
This is a unique three-pod style house in a quiet neighborhood offering the best view on Marco Island. This home is not on a canal, but on a scenic body of water known as Sanctuary Sound, a nature lover's paradise of playful dolphins and shy manatees. Each morning and evening watch as hundreds of tropical birds fly over the water in V formation.
The living room opens via sliding glass doors onto the screened lanai area with a large pool, hot tub, tropical plantings, and outdoor seating. Beyond the lanai area, there is a path to the private dock, where you can catch fish in your own back yard.
The house has a fully equipped kitchen and large eat-in living room. Each of the three pods has its own large master suite with full bath and king sized beds. There are two additional twin bedrooms with bath. Four bedrooms have panoramic views of the water and all have TV's. There is a two car garage with complete laundry facilities. The circle drive provides additional parking.
Sun, swim, and rest in the midst of the beautiful vistas of Sanctuary Sound. It may seem like you are miles from civilization, but you are only minutes from shopping, restaurants, and the beautiful beaches of Marco Island.

I've been coming to this house for 32 years. The setting/view is incredible. And this house is perfect for multiple families as everyone has their own private unit. Its truly special and we cant wait to come back.

The house was clean and well stocked with what we needed. The unique layout was great for our 3 families. The pool was a nice size and the lanai was large with lots of seating. We would definitely stay again. We just wish we could have been able to use the boat lift for our rental boat.

The property is located in a very tranquil spot. The views are gorgeous and it’s very quiet. The layout of the home is unlike any other, but in a great way for families traveling together. It’s nice to have the common area and then the separate living space for each family. If you have young kids that don’t know how to swim just be aware that the pool area is not enclosed and is accessed right out each of the doors. The hot tub was lovely, the beds were very comfortable and the renovated bathrooms are very nice.
This was our first time visiting the island and really loved the beaches and close proximity to restaurants and stores.
We rated this stay a 4 due to a few items that would improve the space- 1. Taking care of the abundance of ants in the kitchen 2. The grill was not useable during our stay and was filthy 3. Blackout shades or curtains in the bedroom would be a plus.
We thoroughly appreciated the quick response from the property manager who came right over to remedy the ant issue, however, the owner of the property should really consider using an exterminator based on the number of them in the kitchen and this is likely a recurring problem if traps were already there. Would this keep us from visiting again? No. We really enjoyed our stay and our kids will be talking about it for weeks. Thank you for sharing your home!

This is a lovely property. The pod layout wouldn’t work for all, but was great for our group of 2 families. Pool & views are wonderful as is the property.

We all had a great time at this location. The home is absolutely gorgeous. Wish there was more to do on the island & more convenient beach parking. Aside from that, we had a great vacation!

Amazing. Pool was heated perfectly, hot tub was large & worked great. Access from each living quarters to main house & pool was great. All the bath & beach towels were seriously luxurious! We have nothing bad to say at all, will definitely plan to come back.

We were returning renters because the “pod” house was perfect for our extended family in the past. We thought it couldn’t get any better than our previous visit but it did. New beautiful furniture, redecorating with lovely color scheme, new beds, wood- look tile flooring throughout and really nice high-end linens. It was once again, a fantastic property!

This place was wonderful. They house is divided into sections, so everyone had their own wing of the home. In the middle there is the pool which was gorgeous and well kept. From there you can see the amazing view of your lake in the back yard. The home even came with snacks! Small items just in case you may need things from face wash to shampoo and towels. This is the perfect place for family trips if you want to have your own privacy at night but many places to gather during the day. Will book again if I ever come to this location!!

Beautiful views! The location is gorgeous and we loved swimming in the pool, fishing from the dock, and watching for manatees and dolphins. House was well maintained and property manager was responsive with small concerns.

This house is spectacular! The pods are set up perfect for all families. The home is immaculately cleaned, completely stocked and 100% up to date. We loved the pool, fishing off the dock and yelling BIRDS every night! Wonderful memories!!

This is a beautiful and functional quite unique home with amazing scenery and easy water access. Stayed with my parents and my brother and his family and my family and there was plenty of space for all 10 of us. Pool/hot tub were awesome for cooling off after a hot day on the boat or at the beach. It was a great place to relax and forget about the quarantine for a week! :) Check in and out were easy, property manager Patrick was very helpful with the one issue we had and got it taken care of quickly. Would stay again!

We just got back from a short but amazing vacation here at this incredible property overlooking the sanctuary- We were a group of 9 people total.....The home was in amazing condition!!! There were many amenities, and everything we needed was right there- We actually did not leave the home because we would be in the pool all day long! The view was spectacular! There so many towels, fresh linens, etc.... We took a nice bike ride around the amazing neighborhood! we were so pleased with the house, the accommodations, and the setting! We were all very sad to leave, but we are already planning to come back very soon. Thank you very much for sharing this spectacular home!!!

We spent a week there, three families, three generations. The house is not glamorous, and needs some updating, but it's cozy. I was happily surprised to realized that the pod design actually meant 3 separate buildings. Main house has one king suite, there is another King room over the garage, with the sleeper sofa in the same room, and the third building houses the final King suite - with balcony, and the two rooms with the two twin beds. It was a little different layout than I thought. We spent all of our time around the pool anyway. Kids loved fishing off the dock. Kitchen is small, but we always eat out on vacation. Great house for multiple families for together and alone time. Backing up to the water is peaceful and private, I would not have wanted to be on a canal. Staying at the house was better than going to the beach. Would definitely stay there again and recommend this house to other families

The property was well maintained and appeared as advertised. We enjoyed the privacy of having multiple families in seperate buildings, yet the shared public spaces. The large screened lanai was well used every day and the views of the nature preserve very tranquil every evening. Thanks for a great family vacation spot.
