THE WAVES HOUSE! 7 minute walk to the beach, 2 minute walk to the JW Marriott

The walk to the beach is 7 minutes. This remodeled home has tons of offerings. A lot of thought has gone into this property to make your stay on Marco Island one of your best. The home itself turned out amazing, and almost everything is new! Like countless times on this listing I am telling you how close you are to the beach and a lot more outdoor activities, but that isn't even half of it. When it is time to relax in the heated salt water pool with a hot tub that both are set to exactly the same temperature as the JW Marriott, I have you covered there with plenty of floats and toys. For those who prefer shade, the covered lanai has comfy lounge area as well as a nice dining table for eating meals al fresco!

For walking to the beach, the house is equipped with a beach cart, beach buggy, chairs, multiple coolers and umbrellas. Also there are 4 bikes in the garage when you want to ride around our beautiful island and explore.

And don't worry if the sun is not shining. There are plenty of indoor games to keep you amused. You and your guests will love the fast action of the 89" air hockey table, challenging each other to chess or checkers at the pub table or winning at the king size "Connect 4" game. Enjoy the recessed ambient lighting in the common area rooms after dark. The home has a total of 4 TV's.: the master and the guest room each have 55" smart TV's., while the living room and game room both have 65" smart TV's.

Hopefully you will enjoy our many delicious restaurants on Marco Island, but if you want to cook at home, you will enjoy the fully equipped kitchen and grilling area. It has everything you will need to prep and cook... just bring your own catch (even if it's from the market!) If there's something in the kitchen that you may need that's not provided, I would really like to know! I think I've thought of everything.

Check in is a breeze at the Waves House. You will receive your personal combination to the garage and front door so you don't have to worry about the hassle of picking up and returning keys.

I am a local manager who takes pride in offering you an exceptional experience and I hope to have you stay very soon!

Absolutely Perfect

We can't say enough about this home. The location is excellent and within walking distance to everything. The home was exceptionally clean and fully equipped including a garage full of "extras" to allow for a fun day at the beach or a bike ride around town. The homeowner was excellent and communicated very well with us making us feel comfortable and well cared for. We will definitely be coming back.

Everything we needed for a great stay!

We stayed here as a family for spring break. The house was clean, beautiful, and in a great location. Everything was as-described or better and the owner did a great job to have all the little extras (beach gear, cooking stuff, etc.) in place that made our stay a breeze. The pool was great and everything about the property was in outstanding condition. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.

Great Conference Alternative to JW Marriott

We were in town for a conference at the JW Marriott and this home worked perfect with an infant and two little kids. The walk over to the conference was easy, the public beach was a short walk, and the house worked perfectly. The host was responsive and great. We will definitely stay again when back in town for the conference!

Great place to stay

We loved staying here. The house was spotless, well appointed and in a great location. We loved being able to walk to the beach, restaurants, bars and shops. It was also easy to get out and just go for a nice long walk as there were sidewalks everywhere. The outdoor space was also great when we just wanted to hang out at the pool and spa. Matt was a great host. He was very accommodating and easy to get ahold of. We would stay here again.

Perfect Marco Island retreat

We had family staying at the JW for 4th of July weekend and we needed to stay nearby. This house was across the street and a very short 5 minute walk. House has very cute and clean. Plenty of fresh towels and all bed linens crisp and clean. Beds were very comfortable too. Perfect place to escape the very crowded JW crowd. Loved it and Matt the host was very responsive.

Amazing stay in the heart of Marco Island

From beginning to end our stay was spectacular. It was a group of 6 of us (3 couples). The house was in perfect conditions, everything brand new and clean. The pool and hot tub worked perfectly. Grilling area was great for our group to cook and enjoy our time by the pool. 5 minute walk to the beach made it even better. Where our host Matt really impressed was with the small details. There was floats for the pool, bikes to use, tents and chairs for the beach, at least 30 towels all shapes and sizes, detergent and softener for the washing machine, he even provided us with paper plates and forks and knives and bottles of water in the fridge. The most impressive part of all of this is that I booked this property in a hurry the day before July 4th! And he still managed to provide our group with an impeccable home. Thanks to Matt we had an incredible time in Marco Island.

Marco Island Vacation

The house we stayed at on Marco was probably the best Vrbo at which we have ever stayed. The house itself was even nicer than the pictures. It was immaculate, beautifully decorated, and very well appointed. My granddaughter loved the pool and spa, which was a perfect temperature and salt water. The pool patio was spacious and also well appointed. We ate out there every night. This was the best kitchen set up I’ve seen. The grill was like new and worked great for grilling steaks. The location was perfect. It was near the middle of the island, 1 block from the ocean, and an easy 10 minute walk to the public beach access, as well as multiple restaurants, the movie theater, and shopping. Best of all, was that Matt was an outstanding host! He readily communicated with us, and took care of any concerns that arose. I give this property my and my family’s highest recommendation. Well done, Matt!
