3 Bedrooms + 2 Baths + Convertible Sofa Bed (Sleeps 6-8) From $1,300/Week

Our rental philosophy is quite simple, we want you to have wonderful and lasting memories of your Marco Island vacation! In September 2011 we purchased our home, which is ideally located a few blocks walk to the beautiful white sand beach of Marco Island. Our fully furnished, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom waterfront home with private pool is also a few minutes walk from a number of excellent restaurants, shops, miniature golf course, ice cream parlor, movie theater and luxury resort spas.

Our home has a fantastic Southern exposure water view, and you can easily depart from our private dock and be in the Gulf of Mexico within 10 minutes. We have bikes, fishing poles, wifi, pool table, DVD's, board games, pool toys, books....everything you need for the perfect Marco Island vacation!

If our home is booked, please consider our other Marco Island home which is located directly across the canal (VRBO #319814 - HomeAway #337442). For families or friends vacationing together, renting both properties could be an ideal situation!

Why Dawn and Dave Rubin chose Vacation Homes in Marco Island

Although we are still a few years away from retirement, we love Marco Island and have decided to make the wonderful community our retirement home. We have always wanted to live in a home on the water with easy boat access to the ocean, and within walking distance to the beach and restaurants. This home truly has it all!

Guests who have recently stayed in our home have said:

“The owners have made a special effort to provide every amenity possible to help create the perfect vacation experience. This home has a beautiful and relaxing pool area with a water view and a large patio that includes a gas grill to enjoy outdoor cooking. Marco Island is a magical place to vacation and this home is an added bonus. I have many wonderful memories from my visit. I definitely recommend this property” (2012)

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Marco Island. The house is recently updated and has literally everything you could want in a vacation home and then some! The lanai was very relaxing. The yard is lovely and the mango and coconut trees have ripening fruit. We enjoyed playing the board games provided as well as the pool table and saw a movie each night on the DVD player. You can tell that the owners really want to make your visit special and we appreciated that”. (2012)

“We had the best of both worlds being so close to the ocean (a 10 minute walk at most), and a beautiful pool to enjoy. Everything we needed for the beach was provided. I miss Marco Island already. We hope to get back there again. If we do, we'll definitely be checking the availability of this property. You can't go wrong with this one”. (2012)

Our Stay On Marco Island

We loved the location of the home and the weather was perfect. We really enjoyed the heated swimming pool and swam in it every day. We played golf at a nice course nearby and went on an airboat ride that was a blast. Considered this our 2nd best vacation ever since we went to Hawaii over 20 years ago.

A Piece of Paradise

Marco Island...beautiful, uncrowded, friendly, extremely clean and safe...a piece of paradise. The Ruben's home...beautiful, well maintained, located on a canal in a great area of the island. The furnishings and amenities are all all you'll need for a stress free vacation. We spent many hours in and around the large, heated pool. Whether swimming or enjoying meals outdoors, the large screened-in outdoor area was perfect. The flat screen TV's with cable, new beach bikes and beach accessories were a welcome addition. The garage was a plus! We enjoyed this property for four weeks and we would not consider staying anywhere else on Marco Island. Paul & Maureen Krueger, Cottage Grove, Minnesota

My husband and I recently enjoyed a wonderful stay at this property. We especially appreciated all the amenities this house had to offer. These include: adult bicycles, a cart to pull to beach, coolers, etc. The home was tastefully decorated and very modern. The pool and lanai area were also great! We spent many evenings enjoying the gas grill, preparing fresh fish purchased locally. Since the evenings in November had begun to turn a bit chilly, we also appreciated the gas-powered "camp fire pit" which worked efficiently.....just like everything else in this house. Everything is neatly labeled and identified for usage so there is no guesswork whatsoever. (Love that.) This applies to the ceiling fans, light switches and all appliances. We would definitely rate this "10”!

We have just arrived back home to Ireland after a great 10 day holiday in Dawn and Dave's property in Marco Island. It was our first time to visit the area and hopefully it won't be our last.

We booked the property in April, well in advance of our arrival date, purely on the basis of how it looked and on the basis of the number of 5 out of 5 reviews it received and we weren't disappointed. We have been coming to the USA on holidays for the past four years and have stayed in many different houses but this one has to rate the best for a number of reasons. It effectively has everything and even more.

The house is spotlessly clean, spacious, comfortable and well laid out. Many houses can provide this but it is everything else that it has that sets it apart. It is located in a lovely quiet residential area within walking distance (7-10 minutes) of many shops, bars, restaurants and the beach. You have your own mooring dock if you have a boat. You can fish from the dock. Fishing gear is provided. Fish are easy to catch - I caught two!! There is every conceivable game provided in the house - monopoly, scrabble etc. There are top of the range TV's in each of the bedrooms. There are two bikes, gear for the beach, all sorts of detergents, cleaning fluids, microwave, two cookers. I could go on and on. Before we came over I noticed that no electric kettle was listed. I said it to Dawn and by return email she said there will be one when you arrive and yes - there was one. We had no problems whatever - everything worked and if it didn't all the instruction books were neatly provided in the top drawer. I am sure there are loads of other things there that we didn't even come across because everytime we opened a drawer we found something else useful. While there were only three of us, the house could easily accomodate up to 8 as is indicated.

Marco Island itself is a lovely destination, spotlessly clean and well laid out. There are loads of things to do. We went on the Dolphin Explorer tour which was most enjoyable. We also visited Naples on a few occasions. We also spent loads of time walking. The one thing that you need to be aware of if you visit Marco Island in September is that it is quiet. A number of restaurants were closed when we were there and were not planning to reopen until early October. However a quiet holiday has its own attractions and you won't be unoccupied if you stay in this house.

We had a lovely time and so will you if you stay here.

Dreamy Escape

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Sep 20, 2012
  • Stayed: Aug 2012
There are times when one needs to get away from it all - Marco Island is magical in its ability to do so and when staying at this property I found total relaxation. Having previously never stayed at a rental home, I thought I might have to go out and buy . . . things. But that did not happen. The property was stocked with plenty of amenities in the way of dishes (for both regular and pool-side dining), towels, plenty of seating around the pool, a great grill, and a wagon and cooler to take to the beach and it is nice to have a two-car garage to use as well. And it was so nice to have a washer and dryer at the house.

The interior design of this property is very appealing with rooms generous in size and nicely appointed to say the least. For instance, the furniture is a thoughtful arrangement, not mis-matched pieces thrown here and there, as if the owners furnished it for themselves and their dearest friends. And the property has a small collection of books and movies, not to mention the flat screen TV's (in the common area and all the bedrooms) giving those who want to stay connected . . . and WIFI connection too!!!! And a POOL TABLE TOO!!!

Then there is the Book at the house to use as a guide: places for food, entertainment, and sightseeing (and I saw dolphins swimming in the canel one day while relaxing at the pool). There is also information about the Island's history and a maps for various venues - one map which is to the beach - and it is truly an easy walk. This book is special because previous houseguests have written comments on places they have gone and if the food or value was worth it - and it lists some out of the way places to discover and explore. This was helpful when making decisions about where to go . . .

The house is in a true residential area, so it is relaxing. The water canal at the back of the house has a place to tether a boat and while most canals do not have direct access to the Gulf of Mexico due to height restrictions (bridge underpass) this one does!!!!

I could not have asked for anything more - I know I will return to experience the dolphins, the beach, the beautiful sunsets - this place can be a week of quiet calm, exciting excursions, or a bit of both.

And last, it was wonderful to have a place that allows the family pet at this property!

Enjoy - cms
