Marco Island Escape | Walk to Beach + Dining | Private Heated Pool
Welcome to your Marco Island getaway, where you can **walk to the beach, stroll to nearby dining and shops, and come home to your own private heated pool**.
This spacious **4-bedroom, 2-bath home sleeps up to 8** and is designed for families and groups who want one of Marco Island’s most convenient locations without giving up the comfort and privacy of a full vacation home.
Spend the morning on the beach, walk to lunch or dinner, then return home to relax beside the heated pool, enjoy the screened lanai, grill dinner outside, or unwind with family and friends.
## WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS HOME
***Brand new kitchen and all new sliding glass doors being added NOW..Aug/Sept 2026
• Walk to the beach
• Walk to nearby restaurants and shops
• Private heated pool
• 4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | Sleeps 8
• Three king bedrooms
• Bunk room for kids or additional guests
• Spacious screened lanai
• Outdoor dining + grill

• Fully equipped kitchen
• Comfortable indoor and outdoor gathering spaces

• Convenient South Marco Island location
## WALK TO THE BEACH
One of the biggest advantages of this home is the location.
Instead of loading everyone into the car, finding parking, and hauling beach gear across the island, you can simply grab the chairs and beach cart and walk to Marco Island’s beautiful sugar-sand beaches.
Having beach access within walking distance makes it easy to enjoy the Gulf whenever you want—whether that means a full day in the sun, an early-morning walk, or heading back down to catch the sunset.
It also means you can come and go throughout the day without having to plan your entire schedule around the beach.
## PRIVATE HEATED POOL & OUTDOOR LIVING
After the beach, come home to your own private heated pool.
The screened outdoor living area gives your group plenty of room to relax without leaving the property.
Spend the afternoon floating in the pool, stretch out in the sun, enjoy lunch outside, or relax in the shade with a cold drink.
In the evening, fire up the grill, enjoy dinner on the lanai, and spend time together in the warm Marco Island air.
The private pool gives families the flexibility to enjoy the water on their own schedule—especially useful for younger children, afternoon breaks, or days when everyone simply wants to stay home and relax.
## THE HOME
Inside, you’ll find spacious, bright living areas designed for easy vacation living.
The open layout gives everyone room to spend time together while still providing enough space to spread out.
Comfortable seating and a large-screen TV create an easy place for movie nights, sporting events, or relaxing after a day at the beach.
The home is thoughtfully furnished and stocked so you can arrive, unpack, and start enjoying your vacation.
## SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
This home’s bedroom setup is one of its strongest features for families and groups.
### Primary Bedroom
Relax in a comfortable king-size bed with plenty of space to unpack and recharge after a day in the sun.
### King Guest Bedroom
A second king bedroom provides another comfortable private sleeping space for couples or adult guests.
### Third King Bedroom
A third king bedroom makes this home especially convenient for multi-generational families, couples traveling together, or groups where adults prefer not to sleep in smaller beds.
### Bunk Room
The fourth bedroom is designed with younger guests in mind and provides a fun, comfortable sleeping space for children or additional guests.
Having **three king bedrooms plus a bunk room** gives your group flexibility that can be difficult to find in a typical vacation rental.
## BATHROOMS
The home includes two full bathrooms, making mornings and evenings easier for families and groups.
The bathrooms provide plenty of space for getting ready before heading to the beach, dinner, or island activities.
## KITCHEN & DINING
The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals during your stay.
Whether you’re making breakfast before the beach, packing snacks for the day, preparing lunch between swims, or enjoying dinner at home, you’ll have the cookware, dishes, appliances, and essentials you need.
The open kitchen and dining layout makes it easy for everyone to stay connected while meals are being prepared.
Enjoy dinner indoors or take your meal outside to the lanai and make the most of Marco Island’s warm evenings.
## EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR THE BEACH
We want your Marco Island vacation to be as easy as possible, so we provide many of the items families normally have to pack, purchase, or rent.
Depending on availability during your stay, beach amenities include:
• Beach cart
• Beach chairs
• Umbrellas
• Coolers
• Beach towels and gear
• Sand toys
• Bikes for exploring Marco Island
That means less time shopping or renting equipment and more time enjoying your vacation.
Pack your swimsuits and sunscreen—we’ve taken care of much of the rest.
## WALK TO DINING & SHOPS
The convenience doesn’t stop at the beach.
This home is located near popular South Marco Island dining, shopping, and activities, making it easy to enjoy an evening out without spending your vacation constantly driving from place to place.
Walk to dinner, grab a drink, explore nearby shops, then return home for an evening swim.
That combination of **walkability and a private pool** is what makes this property especially appealing.
## PERFECT FOR FAMILIES & GROUPS
The home is designed to make group travel easier.
With four bedrooms, three king beds, a bunk room, multiple gathering areas, a private pool, and both indoor and outdoor dining spaces, there’s room for everyone to enjoy the trip comfortably.
Families can spend time together without feeling crowded, while the bedroom setup gives adults and children their own spaces at the end of the day.
Whether you’re planning a family beach vacation, multi-generational trip, couples getaway, or a vacation with friends, the home provides the space and flexibility to make it work.
## EXPLORE MARCO ISLAND
Marco Island offers far more than beautiful beaches.
During your stay, you can enjoy:
• Boating and fishing
• Dolphin and wildlife tours
• Paddleboarding and kayaking
• Sunset cruises
• Waterfront dining
• Golf
• Parks and family activities
• Shopping
• Live music
• Nearby Naples and Southwest Florida attractions
Spend the day exploring—or enjoy everything the house has to offer and never leave the pool.
## THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
What makes this home special is that you don’t have to choose between **location and amenities**.
Many guests want to stay close to the beach but still want the privacy and convenience of a private home.
Here, you can have both.
Walk to the beach in the morning.
Come home for lunch and a swim.
Walk to dinner in the evening.
Return to your own private heated pool and lanai.
No resort crowds. No shared pool. No packing the car every time you want to go somewhere.
Just an easy Marco Island vacation.
## WE’RE HERE TO HELP
Marco Island is our home away from home, and we love sharing it with our guests.
We’re happy to provide recommendations for restaurants, beaches, fishing charters, boat rentals, bike rentals, sunset cruises, and family activities.
If there’s something you’d like help planning before or during your stay, just ask.
Our goal is to make your vacation comfortable, easy, and memorable from the moment you arrive.
We look forward to welcoming you!

Perfect Family Getaway on Marco Island
We had an amazing week-long stay in Beach Block on Mendel on Marco Island. The place was super clean and very nice. The pool was a highlight for us, providing hours of fun and relaxation. It felt like a home away from home, with a cozy and sweet atmosphere that made our family vacation perfect! We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great getaway spot!

We had a great time meeting family and friends. We loved it so much we booked it next year.
Beach block on Mendel is a great place. It is close to the beach and all the restaurants. We had a great time staying at the house and enjoying the pool. There is a lot of room for your guests to enjoy also. Kristen is a special person, she is always available to answer questions. We love coming to Marco Island and Kristen is a major part of it This is the second home we rented from her and she is always gracious.
We had great communication with Kristin. She provided us with tons of information about activities, restaurants, etc. The house was exactly as described and ideal for our Thanksgiving week. We prepared a lot of meals and found a well-equipped kitchen and pantry. Comfortable beds and nicely laid-out bathrooms made our stay perfect. We wouldn't hesitate to rent from Kristin again.

Great Place to Stay!
I've been staying here for the past several years. My family and I love the place and always enjoy it. The home is roomy and the pool is great. Walking or biking to the beach is very handy with the location of this home. The owner was always prompt with communication. I would recommend this home to anyone. Marco Island is my home away from home and we look forward to visiting every year!!

We needed to be in Marco to visit for s few days and needed our own dog-friendly place. It was perfect. The house was immaculate and very well equipped. It was also very comfortable. I will definitely plan on returning when I can.

Great Pool Home Close to Beach!
Outstanding 4 Bedroom home within walking distance to the beach. Everything worked well in the house and the large heated pool was used frequently during our stay. Owner (Kristen) was easily contacted and accommodated our early arrival request. While the house was in excellent condition, the owner is currently renovating the interior so this home will be even a better place to stay. We’ve found our home away from home in Marco Island! Thanks Kristen for the hospitality!
The stay last week was by far one of the best trips we have had on Marco in April. Kristen the host has an amazing house with all the amenities you can ask for. The house is spacious with all the beach necessities and a beautiful outside area with a gorgeous pool. The property is very close to the beach and a nice walk to the shops and restaurants. Kristen the owner was very quick to answer any question we had which were minimal. I highly recommend this property and will book again with Kristen. Thank you!

Absolutely wonderful!
The house is beautifully decorated! The walk to the beach was so easy and the house has all the beach equipment needed (wagons, umbrellas, chairs, sand toys, boogie boards, etc). The house even provided bikes so we could tour the island by bike. The kitchen was fully stocked with more than enough to cook our own meals. The house is also close to restaurants/shops within walking distance. We will definitely be booking with Kristen again - she was a wonderful host and always answered any questions we had promptly.

Marco Family Vacation
Highly recommend this home for family vacations.
Nicely updated, decorated and clean. It is a short walk to the beach, restaurants, & shopping.
It has all the necessities plus bikes, beach items, grill, kids games, baby items such as a pack-n-play.
Lovely pool area. Really everything you need and then some. Communication with the owner is easy and quick response time. I would definitely stay again if in the area.
BTW …Make sure you go to Snook Inn to eat and pick up takeout at Leebfish. Also, Marco Farmers Market on Wednesdays is a must.
Enjoyed our stay! Close to beach and lots to do within biking distance. House was well equipped with back pack beach chairs and bikes to ride. Used the yoga mat for beach yoga. Nice cooler for the boat we rented! Kitchen had everything more than expected and the furnishings were all super cute in house with lots of extra blankets.
We biked to mini golf, gelato, dinner, the jw marriott and really enjoyed our stay.
Host was helpful. Responsive and even had a handyman who came and took trash out.
Great home to rent with good layout for parents w teens/kids or another family on the other side of house. Would be good for grandparents and family. Loved having 3 king beds and a bunk bed room.

Family Vacation
This year was the 4th year we rented the same house on Mendel. The new owner is great to communicate with, and has already made improvements to the home. We loved it before, and she has made it better! The home is perfect for the 6 members of my family (myself and husband, kids 12 and 10, and my parents). We particularly enjoyed the pool being heated this year. The outdoor TV is a great addition as well, but I have to admit, we didn’t use it! It was warmer than usual during our stay so we opted for inside TV.
As always, the bikes, wagons and beach chairs/umbrellas ensure you will have a great day at the beach. The extra fridge in the garage is also handy for keeping extra drinks cold.
Thank you for yet another wonderful Marco family vacation!
