About this property
Sunny Waterfront Home | Walk to Beach, Shops & Food
When you’re able to enjoy tropical sunlight for most of the day, you’ll truly understand why this 2,100 square foot waterfront home is called “Southern Exposure.” It sleeps eight, with two king beds, one queen bed, one bunk bed (twin-over-queen), and two bathrooms. It also comes with a two-car garage.
Prepare to be awestruck when you take a step out on the lanai and are met by the private oasis. Surrounded by palm trees, you’ll be able to splash in the heated pool or bask in the sun on the loungers in peace. Lunchtime already? Well, a poolside barbeque is the perfect meal, as this home comes with an outdoor gas grill. There’s no better way to end the day than watching the sky turn a brilliant orange from the setting sun.
The interior theme of this home is tropical modernity, as it incorporates decorative touches from both the surrounding paradise and contemporary styles. With its many windows, sunlight fills the rooms and brightens the sand-colored tile floors. Cozy furnishings and seaside décor further enhance the tranquil ambience. After a day in the sun, relax on the comfy couch and enjoy your favorite shows on the television in the living room, which opens up to the lanai. In there, you’ll be able to enjoy the comforts of both the interior and exterior at the same time.
The open kitchen features barstool chairs along the sand-colored countertop and comes with all the modern appliances and cookware you need to serve a family dinner or a tropical treat on the lanai. There’s even another refrigerator in the garage for more storage.
Once you’re ready to drift away, every bedroom comes with plenty of closet and drawer space, as well as windows to give you an endless view of paradise. The master bedroom, in particular, along with its access to the lanai, features a television and en suite bathroom with his-and-her sinks, a shower, and luxuriating bathtub.
To enhance your comfort, the home’s amenities include air conditioning and heating, free wi-fi, cable, linens, towels, a washer and dryer, scooters, and bicycles. You’ve even got beach essentials like beach towels, a beach wagon, beach chairs, cooler, umbrella, and sand toys.
People drive for miles to get to the silken sands, turquoise waters, and majestic sunsets of South Beach, but you’re just a short walk away. If you’re in the mood for dinner and a movie, another short walk takes you to Marco Walk Plaza, a premier open-air shopper’s paradise filled with movie theaters, boutiques, and plenty of fine dining options. You can also walk to Marco Golf and Garden, a miniature golf course in the midst of an award-winning garden.
So, come experience true paradise and “Southern Exposure” at this stunning tropical getaway.

House was wonderful to host two families - close to lots of restaurants and shops! Pool was perfect for the kiddos. We had a blast and would recommend this property to everyone!
Great location of the property with easy access to the public beach.
Warm private pool with view of the canal, we even saw dolphins in the canal swim by the house.
The house was well stocked with dishes, towels, and beach and pool supplies/toys..

Stayed for a week. Great location! Walked to the beach every morning. Often walked to restaurants. Rented a boat for the week. Almost was not allowed by Dolphin Cove to keep the boat at the dock, as there is not a great spot on the dock to tie it up. We ended up tying it to two posts of the boat lift and climbing up and down the ladder on the dock to access - worked fine for us, but some might find challenging. Two bikes were functional. Slider door wouldn't lock, but was able to fix. Pool great, but needed to add water often. Grill worked but small. Pipes leak when fish cleaning station/dock hose turned on. Need dimmers. O/W GREAT!

We have rented on Marco island multiple times over the last 20 years and thoroughly enjoyed this house. It was very impressive that they had all-clad pots and pans and most every utensil needed including a mini food processor. Very helpful for our at home meals. Not that we used the living room very often but the couch and chairs were very comfortable. I'd make a gentle recommendation that the home needs new pillows and sheets. All four of us had difficulty with how hard the pillows were and we have not had this problem at the many other houses we have rented. The sheets in the master bedroom are 100% polyester, uncomfortable and worn. They slip easily so we were constantly fighting with them. The pool was amazing and it was nice to have a view of the canal. Location cannot be beat. Less than a 10 minute walk to the beach and to restaurants.

My family with two young kiddos stayed at 1141 Abbeville recently and absolutely loved it. The property is equipped with everything you need and I was pleasantly surprised with all of beach equipment included. The wagon, umbrella, beach chairs, beach toys, etc. made is so easy on me. The beach is a quick 5 minute walk to the main public beach access on Marco, it could not be more convenient. The property was clean and the entire process booking through March Island Vacation Properties was seamless. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful home really close to the beach, restaurants and some stores. Everything we need it for the beach was there. Including chairs and umbrella. The house was really comfortable and all 7 fit with no issues. Love the canal view with the pool and how quiet it is.
We had some small issues which was resolved as soon the owner/PM could. We would definitely come back again.
Only recommendation is to add more trash bag and other necessary items. Not a big deal but for the cost I was expecting to be included. But our family have a great time. The week went fast.
Stayed at this property for a week, 8 of us ranging from 18-80 years old. Great location to public beach access area(about 1/2 mile), pool was great with a beautiful view! Grill came in handy. All amenities were there to enjoy! Walking distance to some stores, restaurants and mini golf. Cooler, 6 beach chairs, and wagon all available. Have stayed in many homes in the past so suggesting mirrors in the 3 other bedrooms(girls waiting for bathroom mirrors to do makeup and hair was a challenge haha) and was a shame we had to throw out all of the condiments, etc. on departure that someone else could have enjoyed:) On arrival, two lights (one in the master bath) and the pool light for night swimming did not work but agency was very willing to fix, also the one bicycle had a flat tire, it was taken to be fixed and returned the next day! The door handle heading to the pool broke through our stay due to difficulty opening. Admin was very responsive, super friendly, and willing to fix it all! such a bonus! Would definitely stay here again!!!! Highly recommend!
This property was very nice and anything we needed they were right on top of fixing or replacing things. The location was great for walking to the beach. The beds were comfy and the bathrooms were great. Plenty of space. Our kids lived every minute of the pool.

Two bikes available for enjoyable peddling around island, easy rental at Island Bike Shop if need more.
