Waterfront Villa - Tigertail Beach

We had a lovely week on Marco Island. we were to the everglades and the fantastic beach. Our children fishing off the dock and we all enjoyed the pool. Thank you for letting us use your lovely villa.we hoop to come back to your villa 2010, Best Regards, Fam Ursem THE NETHERLANDS

We are so grateful to you for sharing this lovely villa with our family. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful place, It is the first time we have rented while in Florida, and we have been left with an excellent impression. We sure to be doing it again. Although our stay was short, the villa has been wonderful and really made the holiday. Our favorite - the pool accessable through all doors, the extremely short walking time to the beach (got a great tan), and the HUGE couch (enough to fit all of us comfortably!). Overall a great stay at a great place. Thank you for your hospitality. Neil, Sue and family

Date of holiday:11/4/09-18/4/09. We had a wonderful holiday on Marco Island.The villa was beautiful, the location perfect, the best property we have ever stayed in. Gulf coast visitor centre in Everglade city good for boat trips and kayaking. Big cypress state preserve the place to see aligators! Top food at Almost famous Mels on Marco,about a mile away. The only thing that was a little disapointing was the total lack of any consumables in the fridge which was very different from the first property we had rented.Overall, a fantastic holiday.

Our fifth stay at Rudi & Dorothy’s house. It feels like ‘coming home’ when we stay here. The weather and our surroundings have been just perfect. If we had to describe our perfect holiday, it would have to be the times we spent at the house on Marco Island. We spent a wonderful time shelling, Tour trip on the ‘Calusa Spirit’ run by Marco Island watersports. You can book at the Marriott beach hut. (see details in Marco Review) absolutely excellent. To soon it’s time to return to England. Each time we go we leave a piece of our hearts on Marco. J & E, Cheshire, England

Our third visit to Marco, but the first time in this lovely villa. It is a great place to enjoy the most relaxing time. We found a well maintained and clean property as described and we felt that everything was nicely prepared for our arrival. We felt warmly welcomed. The house has a fabulous pool; the kids loved it a lot, but not just them. Indeed we saw some dolphins swimming by. We had a good chance catching some fish right off the dock. The beautiful, natural Tigertail beach is in walking distance, just for very small and "lazy" children the further walk to the open water might be a stretch in the sun. We found birds breading there in protected areas as well as turtles. The location is great, you have good connections to Naples Zoo, Everglades, Miromar Shopping Outlets, the Marina at Marco... A variety of restaurants for all tastes and budgets are available. We can recommend CJ's, Snook Inn among some other good ones. For sure we will be back on Marco Island and this villa has become now our first choice. Clearly recommended to stay, have fun and relax here. We had a perfect 2 week vacation Jul/Aug 2009!

Rudi and Dorothy keep this villa in great shape. The two bedrooms are on opposite ends of the house, giving maximum privacy. The best feature of the house is the screened in pool or generous size, salt water, over 6 feet deep at one end. The western exposure of the lanai gives you incredible sunsets and an afternoon sky of all colours. The location is excellent whether you just need occasional trips to town center to enjoy the great variety of restaurants, a sunset dinner or Capt. Ron’s 3 hour wave runner tour. You are a couple of hours from Miami Beach, right next to Naples, Bonita Springs. From pool accessories to bicycles, and fishing gear – you’ll have everything you need. Dishwasher, washer and dryer make the villa complete. We had no trouble following the simple rules required to keep the house and ourselves free of critters –rinse all items you throw in the garbage. The care shows all through the property, communication prior to arrival is excellent with the owners. We had a great time and can highly recommend this villa. Thank you Rudi and Dorothy.

My family and I arrived here after 2weeks in Orlando for a well earned rest, and this place was everything we could have hoped for. A large well equipped kitchen, TVs in each bedroom and living room, and the wi-fi were all great features. It did take a while to get used to only having the key code lock on the front door, and an additional deadlock would have felt more secure, but this was a minor concern. The house and outside areas provided plenty of space to spread out, and both were well equipped and furnished. The pool was great for the kids and to cool off in the Florida sun. The location is excellent, being located on the canal-side (we saw dolphins and manatee swim by), and is literally a 2 minute walk from the beach areas which are out of this world. We would certainly stay here again.

We last visited in 2002 and the villa, since remodelled, was perfect for us as we were with friends and we each had bedrooms and bathrooms at opposite ends of the home which gave added privacy. The large lounge and kitchen are very well equipped but most of our time was spent around the pool area either in the gloriously warm water or having a BBQ whilst watching the amazing sunsets over the waterway. Publix and Winn Dixie supermarkets are well stocked for all your needs. Tigertail beach is 5 minutes walk away and lovely for an early morning stroll. Marco has some good restaurants, The Snook, C.J.'s etc and many were offering a free round trip taxi service, great if you want a drink. A visit to upmarket Naples is a must, walk the pier and wander round the boutiques and gift shops in Tin City. All in all a great place for a holiday. Many thanks Rudi & Dorothy for sharing your lovely home John & Linda M. Chorley, U.K.

We really loved our 2-week stay in this house! The villa is clean, spacious, nicely furnished, the beds are comfortable and the house provides everything you need for a great vacation with kids, there were even bikes and beach accessories in the garage. We loved the pool and the beautiful sunsets you can view from the deck, we even saw a dolphin swimming by! The walk to the Tigertail beach lagoon is really short, if you want to go to the "real" beach, you need approx. 20 minutes, but it is definitely worth it! We mostly ate in and used the gas grill on the deck, but the Sunset Grille is also a very nice place to have dinner. You can do so many activities in the Marco Island / Naples / Everglades area that we will for sure come back some time, and this villa will be our first choice then! Thanks Rudi and Dorothy for the uncomplicated handling before and during our stay! The Kammann family from Germany
