It’s coming together…new cane King bed, dresser and nightstands from Pottery Barn. Just waiting on a few finishing touches for the master, but the big draw is the amazing view and the attached balcony!

Small one day reno. New Pottery Barn King bed and nightstand for the guest bedroom and one black accent wall, finished off with black and white seaside decor in natural wood frames. I would stay here in a heart beat!! Book your stay. Plenty of room for two couples. Each with your own king bed and bathroom, both with spectacular views!

My first review for our newest property! Love what I do especially when I have great guests like David!

After 4 back breaking days and nights of decluttering, organizing, installing, decorating and cleaning 1801 is ready for her first guest checking in tonight. New furniture is on order along with new hurricane windows and a fresh coat of paint but she looks great! Now it’s time to sit back and relax. Welcome to La Bella Vita on Marco 1801. We hope to host you soon!

Come stay with us and enjoy one of the best beaches in Florida! We are located directly on Tigertail beach with beautiful gulf and sunset views right from our 18th floor balcony.

For the best beaches in Florida, skip the touristy spots and follow the locals to these hidden gems just a little off the beaten path.

Great day for fishing. Caught 39 snapper and 4 sheepshead. Had it cooked up at Marco Island Brewery and made my own spicy fish marinara with bucatini. Delish. Highly recommend Capt. John Dillashaw!

Join me Thursday mornings for a morning meditation and stretch. A perfect way to start your day!

I haven’t posted a review in a while. A little self promotion here. As I replied to Craig, my goal is not just a great place to stay but an excellent and easy experience. So glad my guests my see that extra touch.

We still have a couple of weeks open in January and April. Reach out if you are looking for some sunshine in a happy place. Contact me directly for best rates.

waiting patiently for his half of our açaí bowl. Our favorite part of Marco Island Farmer’s Market Wednesdays. Try it out!

First stone crab claw keeper of the season. If you haven’t tried stone crab yet, be sure to find a local establishment and give them a try. In my opinion, the sweetest of them all!

Check out #21 on the list. Personally I've been to most of the islands on the list. While happy to see Marco Island on it, definitely think it should rank higher! https://www.housebeautiful.com/lifestyle/g40644138/top-american-islands/?utm_source=facebook_arb&utm_medium=cpm&utm_campaign=arb_fb_hbl_m_i_g40644138&fbclid=IwAR1V1USpJRpVZn7uNJTWdH_wbbYCCNYoSGIIHqNoc2hU_h8zZ5N1iFr1fsc_aem_Ab0NdPc0w0faZqvQkln9D_IOINRe6VwpH6PQqP_FwED_fUHyptyaWIAVGzZvYA9pqB-_nj3iT3zgkvMcxHS6s7dI

Forget Fiji and Bora Bora and go to one of these picturesque destinations instead—no passport required!
