The title words most accurately describe our magnificent Florida vacation the week of May 23-30, 2009! We had 10 people (Grandma, Grandpa, Great Aunt, 4 adult kids and 3 children ages 1, 3 & 8) in this luxurious, yet comfortable home. The amount of space was incredible and the home was most beautifully decorated. We loved sitting on the upper deck, playing cards and Scrabble (games provided) while looking out over the water, watching the sunset. The in-ground pool was perfect for all! It was so nice that the owners provided toys and floats for us to use. It was also great that they provided a beach stroller, beach umbrellas and chairs, which we used several times on Tiger Beach and South Beach, both located on Marco Island - a short drive away. One day, we rented a pontoon boat for the day and drove right up to the dock to unload people and gear. Some of our group fished off the dock (equipment also provided), and they even saw some starfish at the water's edge! It was wonderful that the adult kids had their own space on the lower level of the home. They could be with us and yet have their privacy, too. This was honestly one of the BEST vacations we've ever taken. We not only spent lots of time at the beach, but we also ate at a number of excellent sea-side restaurants, went off-shore fishing, toured the Everglades via airboats, visited Smallwood’s Store (the first General Store in Florida) and went shopping on Marco Island. It was a pleasant reprieve to come back to our vacation home at the end of each day. This house is truly perfect for everyone, although those with disabilities might have trouble with the stairs leading to the upper main level. The Great Aunt was in a wheel chair, which was a bit of a challenge, but we managed to get her up and down and she, too, thoroughly enjoyed the trip and had a great experience! Owners Joe & Jodi were exceptionally easy to work with and were very responsive to our needs, which were few. They even called us a couple of times to check and see how things were going. We truly cherished their home and loved our vacation time there!
