The house can accommodate up to nine people, so feel free to spread the word about the Secret Beach Retreat! Everyone will love the home's serene interior with tropical splashes of color and whimsy. The split floor plan offers plenty of privacy and space to spread out while the centrally-located living room and the screened-in lanai, which can be accessed by three rooms in the house, makes gathering easy and fun. The lanai spans the distance to the open air pool on the western side of the home. The pool deck's western exposure maximizes the hours of sun on the pool and offers nightly sunset viewings right from the lanai and pool deck. Take advantage of the home's amazing location and exclusive access and make everyday a beach day. The complimentary beach gear - towels, chairs, umbrella and wagon - will make those trips all the more enjoyable!

It was very convenient for accessing the beach and exploring Marco. Layout of the home included an open, central area and bedrooms/bathrooms at opposite ends. This set up was great for hosting guests. Property manager promptly responded to all inquiries. Would rent this place again. ##### Mark K.

The house is very nice and in a great location. The house needs some improvement though. The living room furniture is not comfortable. The dryer broke while there. The dishwasher doesn’t work and the kitchen sink leaks. We noticed all of this on the last day. The bathtub drain needed snaked and they were very quick to have someone there to fix that problem. A few of the chairs in the lanai were dry rotted and ripping. ##### Alexa A. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimberly 1 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Great location and property.
