Step outside and there it is — the pool rippling turquoise under the screened lanai, your boat idling at the private dock, Robert's Bay glittering just beyond the seawall. Morning coffee on the sun deck. An afternoon reeling in mangrove snapper off your own dock. Sunset walks a mile down to Marco Island's sugar-sand beach. This isn't just a place to sleep — it's a waterfront canal retreat built for the moments you'll replay all year.

ABOUT THIS SPACE

This recently renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath waterfront home sits on a quiet canal cul-de-sac off Robert's Bay, with a private heated pool, boat dock, and new windows and doors throughout. It sleeps 6 and was built for real vacationing — boating, fishing, poolside lounging, slow evenings on the lanai.

The master bedroom is a true retreat: a king bed, a wicker armoire, and a sliding door opening onto the pool lanai, so sunlight on the water is the first thing you see each morning. The en-suite bath has a frameless glass shower and double-sink vanity.

The second bedroom looks over the pool and canal, with a smart TV and its own sliding door to the lanai — great for a couple or older kids. The third bedroom is a playful safari-themed room with two twin beds, ideal for younger children. A second full bath with a walk-in shower serves this side, plus a hallway bath with a soaking tub lit by a frosted window.

The living area is anchored by a brand-new sectional and a 65-inch Roku TV, with sliding doors framing the pool and canal — movie night comes with a water view. The kitchen has granite counters, stainless appliances (plus a panini press guests love finding), and everything needed to cook for the group. A high-top nook seats the kids for breakfast; the dining table seats six.

Step outside and the real magic happens: a screened, heated pool and paver lanai with lounge seating and a mounted Roku TV, an outdoor dining set, and a Weber grill. Past the pool cage, a sun deck and boat dock stretch to the canal — tie your boat to the dock, or fish the afternoon with the rods we provide. Beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and bikes are stocked and ready. An in-unit washer and dryer keep towels and gear clean.

WHO THIS HOME IS BEST FOR

Boating families — back your boat up to the private dock and you're on Robert's Bay in minutes without a trailer ramp in sight.

Anglers and fishing groups — grab the provided rods and cast off the dock; past guests have cooked their catch that same night in the kitchen.

Multi-generational families — three distinct bedrooms plus a heated pool and screened lanai give every generation their own space to recharge.

Two couples traveling together — master and second bedroom both open onto the pool lanai with canal views, so no one gets the "lesser" room.

Beach lovers who want quiet too — about a mile from Marco's beach and Tigertail, but on a low-traffic canal where the loudest sound most evenings is the breeze.

GUEST ACCESS

Check yourself in on your own schedule with the electronic smart lock — no meeting a host, no waiting for keys. A garage door opener is included too, for access and gear storage. Guests have full use of the home: the screened pool and lanai, outdoor dining and grill area, and the private dock and sun deck. It's single-level with no stairs — easy movement for grandparents and little ones.

PARKING

Free parking is included on the premises — driveway space plus a private garage for an extra vehicle or gear storage. There's no shared lot to navigate, so you can unload straight from the driveway to the front door. There's no EV charger on-site, so plan accordingly if arriving in an electric vehicle.

HOUSE RULES

Check-in is after 4:00 PM and checkout is before 10:00 AM, giving our team time to prepare the home and pool between stays. This home sleeps up to 6 — please keep your group at or under that number. We're unable to accommodate pets due to severe allergies. The home has smoke/CO alarms, a fire extinguisher, and a first aid kit. Because this is a quiet, low-traffic canal neighborhood, please keep noise reasonable after dark, especially around the pool, out of respect for neighbors. The pool is heated but not fenced from the lanai — please supervise children and non-swimmers.
