The location is great with a very short walk to the beach and ll the top restaurants. The home was clean, well stocked with all the basics and has a terrific pool.
Becky is a terrific host and nothing could have gone better.

Highly recommend! Becky was very attentive, friendly and always just a text away if we ever needed anything. The house is just like 5 min walk to the beach, it had everything you could possibly need to make you feel comfortable and at home. We did not have the best weather while we were there but we still had a great time. We hope to be back soon!.

Of course location to Marco Beach (5 min walk) was excellent. Becky had chairs, towels, umbrellas, coolers, and transport carts which made getting the beach a breeze. BBQ and tools easily on site for family night in. Pool was comfortably nice to relax. Bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for all 6 of us. Becky was a quick text away and very responsive. Would recommend staying here again in the future!!

The location is excellent . Its is short walk to the beach. The property a has large covered pool and the house is well equipped with everything, including every cooking gadget, multiple bicycles, to lots of beach carry-ons.

We had an amazing vacation at this beautiful home. Becky is an exceptional host. Perfect location, only a short walk to the beach. This home provides everything you need and Becky was so accommodating which was much appreciated! We can’t wait to return to this property sometime in the future!

We had an amazing time! We were a 5 minute walk from the beachand if you've ever been to Marco Island you would appreciate it because they really don't have parking around the beach area. This was the best part. Home was stocked with everything you needed to enjoy the beach and family time. Plenty of games to enjoy with the family at night. The pooll area was great and the back patio area was nice. Kitchen has everything. i am picky about washing and keeping things clean and they have a great washer and dryer. Host is very accommodating! Definitely will return. Marco Island is truly a gem!

We usually travel to the panhandle for spring break and this was our first trip to Marco. We have a bigger family so vrbos work better for family time then a hotel room. The proximity to the beach was perfect for our daily walks and runs. The house was clean and our host was very accommodating and attentive. The pool and porch were great for days that we didn’t want to stay at the beach all day and outdoor grill worked well. We hope to return to Marco and this vacation home
10.0 / 10.0
Becky was a perfect host—helpful, responsive, and always available. The large, heated pool was fantastic. The supplies—and leftover food items—were more than adequate. Provided bikes and swim accessories was another plus. The only concerns were a long, open spiral staircase to an upstairs room that was open to the rest of the house—and the Island’s very strict noise restrictions.
10.0 / 10.0
We loved the location, the amenities (robes, bikes, beach cart, pool floats, grill, etc etc ), the beds were so comfortable, pool was warm, we found lots of great restaurants nearby and we walked to the beach everyday. Our host Becky was very responsive and attended to our every request. We loved staying at this home and will return!

Great house - the owner was gracious enough to meet us at check-in and give us a tour as well as introduce us to the wide array of tropical fish in the fish tank! The house has enough bikes coolers/beach carts/toys etc. that you don't really need to bring anything!

The property was more than what we expected. The photos don't do it justice. The property owner was very easy to communicate with and went out of her way to accommodate our schedule changes. The house is stocked with everything you can think of or ever need. Can't wait to come back!

Excellent location, 2 blocks walking distance to the beach, house has all the beach accessories and carts you need to enjoy the Sun. Home is beautiful, excellent two bedrooms with a second floor loft as the 3rd bedroom that has a private bathroom. Great pool with all the water toys you need for the kids, including a nice grill for the afternoon bar b q and a very relaxing outdoor deck ( all enclosed so no mosquitos at night) . Loved our stay, Becky and her dad were great hosts.

The house was so cute and super clean, the bed was extremely comfortable, which is a big plus. Becky was super pleasant and waited for us to arrive, talked to us about the town and taught my kids how to feed the fishes; kids spent a lot of time in the morning admiring the aquarium. Very close to walk to the beach. Thank you so much!

This was a great property. Owner was a great host. House had everything we needed and was very clean. 5 minute walk to the beach. Pool was beautiful and we would definitely stay there again.
10.0 / 10.0
This has been by far one of the best places we have stayed in Marco Island. The communication with Becky was outstanding. She waited for us on arrival to show us around the property and see if there was anything else we needed, but everything was already taken care off. The property itself is amazing! The kitchen is fully stocked and with a reverse osmosis filter on the sink so you dont even need to buy water to drink. Bathrooms were super clean and beautifully decorated, beds super confortable and with a lot of space. They have a beautiful saltwater fishtank where you can feed the fishes once a day and spend a lot of time just staring there. Also there’s a piano you can play.
The terrace in the back is perfect to relax, and there is a very big heated pool in an L shape with lots of pool gadgets to use as well.
And the location of the property is top notch! Just one block away from the beach, and a 5 minutes drive to many restaurants and shops.
So, thanks again for everything Becky, we will surely be returning here!

We loved Marco and this home. It was so convenient to the beach and restaurants that we never had to use a car. Becky was great to work with and made us feel at home. Great trip!

We’ve rented homes through VRBO in SWFL for about 15 years and this was our first VRBO stay on Marco. Becky was an amazing hostess, greeting us at the home to walk us through and give us some great local recommendations. The home was the best stocked we’ve ever experienced and everything was as described. The walk to the beach was easy (5 minutes or so) and safe with a crosswalk with push button to hold traffic. The home was well stocked with beach supplies as well (wagons, chairs, etc). It was so convenient that we went back and forth at least twice each day to enjoy morning beach walks, sunshine during the day, and the sunsets of course. We used the provided bikes to head to local shops, and really enjoyed the pool at the house when we weren’t out or at the beach. It was a great week and we enjoyed everything about our stay. Our family is three adult couples and one college student and we had enough room for all of us to have our own sleeping space. Between the beach, the neighborhood, the pool, the porch, and the home - we had plenty of space to ourselves throughout the stay. We’d stay again for sure.

Had the best time at mermaid cottage in Marco!!! Becky made sure all our needs were met. We will definitely be back!

Mermaid’s Cottage is beautifully decorated, has all the amenities, and is located .41 miles from front door to shore. The walk is incredibly easy. The pool is warm, the beds are super cozy, and the house has absolutely everything you need. Feeding the fish will be your favorite part of your day. The aquarium is so incredible! I loved the fish!
Marco Island is a quiet, pleasant island with tons of walking and shelling opportunities. This house is on a quiet street and your vacation will be zen if you choose it! Enjoy!

We loved returning to Becky's Beach home. EVERYTHING is thought of for you to enjoy your time to the fullest. Imagine the best relative inviting you to their awesome home and there you have it. The pool was heated for us and the salt water fish tank provided more entertaining than anything on TV. Can't wait until next time💗

First let me say how wonderful Becky was to work with! Such a pleasure. The house has such character and is in a perfect location with short walk to beach. It is so well stocked, that it felt like our own home. The bikes, chairs, umbrella and coolers were well used. The coffee fixings were appreciated. And our 11 year old loved the fish tank.

Beautiful Home
This property is a beautiful home located on Marco Island. The house had some bikes for us to use and our commute to the beach was 2 mins! House came fully stocked with everything you can think of! Close to many restaurants! The only thing I can say negative (which actually wasn't an issue for us but if I had brought my children it would have been...) you have to be super quiet after 9pm due to the neighbors. If I was on vacation, my kids would have been in the pool playing and probably loud. So just an FYI for people with kids. Other than that, this house was amazing.

Wonderful Vacation Home!
The pictures of this home don't do it justice, it looks even more beautiful in person!! It was extremely cozy, spacious and welcoming, and it had everything you could think of. Lots of snacks, an assortment of body washes and skincare, bathrobes, you name it. Watching the fishes in the tank also became our favorite pastime over our stay.
Going to the beach was also a breeze as it was just a 5 minute walk away. There are several beach chairs, umbrellas and a cart to carry it all in so it was extremely convenient.
Becky is the best host I've had the pleasure of dealing with
and she kept in communication with us. Thank you for everything!!

If you are looking to stay very close to a beautiful beach and want all the bells and whistles that come along with a beach house - this is your place! I highly recommend renting this home as Becky is a SUPER HOST.
Also, everything was squeeky clean and beautiful. Becky has simply thought of everything you may need while staying in this very charming beach house as her guests. Enjoy!
