WALK or BIKE to Beach: Private, Heated Pool, Spacious, Outdoor LUXURY Awaits

When our family goes on vacation, we invest a lot of time looking for the right 'home away from home', where our children, family & friends will have a great time. We look for a place where we feel comfortable and safe, where the children have a lot of space to play, and where we adults can enjoy a private pool and some outdoor grilling.

We fell in love with Marco Island the very first time we visited, and purchased our home "Tigertail Palms" in 2016. It is located on a side street, very private and quiet. A unique aspect of this property is its proximity to the Marco beach - it is just a short walk, or quick bicycle ride, to the beach. If you prefer to drive to the beach, we are less than a 2 minute drive.

Our home has 2100 square feet of air-conditioned, flexible living space comprising of three bedrooms. It has been renovated from top to bottom with a new kitchen and baths, new indoor and outdoor furnishings and a heated pool. Both adult and child bikes can be easily rented locally, making travel around the island a breeze!

We would love to share our home with you! You will find all the comfort, privacy and amenities you desire. Rest up in the living room on the sofa, relax in one of the cozy lounge chairs reading a book, or be entertained by the flat screen TV's with cable, movies on demand and other internet entertainment. The home has wide floor to ceiling glass doors that can be opened, bringing the outdoor feeling to the inside.

The kitchen is a delight for any chef or hobby cook. It features granite counters and quality appliances. Dining can be inside or outside. Within the enclosed patio, you can also take advantage of the gas grill and enjoy a view of the pool while dining.

The master bedroom is furnished with a large king size mattress bed, and high quality sheets for a good night’s sleep. It has a large built in closet and a modern en-suite bathroom with a double sink, bath tub, and an oversized shower stall. It also features a large flat screen TV.

The second bedroom has a queen size bed with a built in closet, flat screen TV, and access to the guest bathroom. The third guest room has twin beds, and a flat screen TV. The den has a sofa bed which provides additional, flexible sleeping space when needed. Each bedroom is equipped with WIFI, and flat screen TV's were installed in each bedroom earlier this year.

A great variety of private outdoor experiences can be found - you can choose to relax on the patio loungers, splash in the pool, or play games while sitting in the comfortable outdoor seating area. Outdoor dining with a grill in the corner is just steps away. The heated pool is ideal for having tons of fun with all of your family and friends.

Additionally our home has a two-car garage. We also provide beach chairs, umbrellas, a cooler, and water toys should you wish to visit the nearby beach.

Tigertail Palms is an oasis of tranquility within the quaint island city. It is located with easy access to all shopping, dining and attraction areas of Marco Island. At the Tigertail beach access you will find a fantastic children’s playground if the children wish to burn off some additional energy.

Within 3 minutes drive of our home you will find Marco Island Golf Club, Tennis Club, Adventure Mini Golf, stores (Publix, Winn Dixie), restaurants, and boating & fishing opportunities. The main road out of Marco Island leads you directly to the Everglades where you can explore nature by visiting an alligator farm or by going on a breathtaking airboat ride.

Very Nice
We were very pleased with our stay. This house is very well kept, and the layout was very nice. We enjoyed attending the beach during the day, which was only about a two minute drive away. We also enjoyed lounging in the pool at night. We made use of the grill, as well as the outdoor patio furniture, which again was all very nice. Karin is extremely responsive and we appreciated her attentions to details. We will certainly consider this property first on any future visits to Marco Island

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property and would consider doing so again if we were to return to Marco Island in the future. Check-in instructions were clear and that’s always helpful. My wife and I were impressed by how clean it was, with no surprises. This was our first time to Marco and we truly enjoyed it. Exactly what we needed.

The house was clean and spacious, and located in a lovely neighborhood. The pool and patio is very nice. The home is in need of some updates. The mattress on the queen bed needs to be replaced. Also the sofa is very tired and uncomfortable. The walk to the beach is about 30 minutes. The home is located close to wonderful restaurants and shopping.

The house was super clean, communication with the property owners was great and they were very responsive, the pool was lovely, and the neighborhood was quiet and friendly. The only downside for us is that there isn't much sun on the pool deck during early January. Overall, a wonderful experience.

Great house in a nice location. Everything was as listed. Having to sign a lease w specific instructions on how many loads of laundry you need to do before checkout for a three day rental was a bit over the top. I have rented through VRBO and never have had to sign a six page lease. Besides that everything went very smoothly.

Property shoud be updated
I have rented 5 different properties on Marco Island in the past year and this ranks at or near the bottom. Overall there was no big issue but many small issues which should be addressed. Rusted ceiling fans, poor quality linens, broken outdoor chairs, trash receptical missing wheel, etc. Most units provide bikes but these were locked and not available. The lot is very small so ther is no outdoor area for young children to play..
