Marco Island vacation rentals, booked direct.
Luxury waterfront vacation rentals on Marco Island, Florida (34145) — two privately owned homes, both with a private boat dock and Gulf access, one with a heated pool and one with a hot tub, sleeping 6 and 8 guests. Superhost-managed, 5-star rated, and bookable directly with no booking-site fees. Off-season nightly rates from $350–$450, with two-way calendar sync so availability is always live.
The island
Ten thousand islands, one perfect address.
Marco Island is the largest of Florida’s Ten Thousand Islands — four miles of white-sand Gulf beach, glassy canals that open straight to the water, and sunsets that turn the sky the color of the brass on a boat cleat. It’s calmer than Naples, warmer than the Keys, and built for the kind of trip you don’t want to end.
Both of our homes sit on deep-water canals with private docks, so you can drop a line off the dock at dawn, boat out to the Gulf by noon, and be back for a soak in the hot tub or a swim in the heated pool by sunset — all without moving the car.
