Family Friendly Canal Home on Cul-de-sac ~Screened Lanai, Pool, Billiards, Dock, WiFi & More!

Welcome to the Blue Paradise - get ready to make amazing memories at this one-of-a-kind island getaway! Its cul-de-sac location on one of Marco's famed canals offers a tranquil and relaxing setting for a true escape. The home's split floor plan is ideal for families or friends traveling together in groups, as it offers privacy for the sleeping quarters while providing multiple, centrally-located gathering spaces that offer something for everyone. The entertainment room, complete with bar and wine fridge, billiards table and large flat-screen TV, rivals the best sports bar in town as a high-energy space to gather for some friendly competition or to grab a beer and catch a game. The cozy TV room, just past the kitchen, is a perfect for a snack, kicking your feet up and catching your show - or catnap in the recliner. But when it comes to Florida living, the true test is the outdoor space and The Blue Paradise absolutely aces this one! The screened-in lanai is accessible from the TV room, the dining room (that seats 6+) and the master bedroom. It is equipped everything one could hope for - bar seating with a pass-through window to the kitchen, an outdoor dining area, a lounge area with ample seating and a gas fire pit, as well as a gas grill. All that before even stepping outside to the blue sparkling pool and pool deck - complete with chairs, loungers and a manatee fountain - or to the dock beyond.

The Blue Paradise is a haven for boaters and anglers alike! It's a quick ride out to the Gulf and open water. For avid anglers, the dock has fishing lights and a cleaning station. Grill up your fresh catch on the lanai's gas grill. Even if you're not into catching fish, enjoy the beauty of nature all around you, including the dolphins and manatees that frequent the Marco canals. The lush tropical landscaping on the property offers privacy as well as a bounty of produce like avocados and lemons for those lucky guests visiting during the summer season. Whether you spend every minute of your vacation at The Blue Paradise or you venture to the beach, the home is fully equipped with nearly everything you need, including towels, chairs, an umbrella, a cooler and a wagon to haul everything. Just pack a toothbrush and your swimsuit!

We were not aware of the strict noise ordinance. If your voice can be heard 50 feet off the property from 8 pm till 7am it could result in a fine. We rented it for the kids to have a pool to swim in. The neighborhood is nice but there were a lot of signs that said don't hotel our neighborhood. So we did not feel as relaxed as we normally do.

Great house and location on Marco
The house was really great, nicely furnished and comfortable. We enjoyed the pool table more than expected bc the weather was cold. The dock, patio and pool were nice also and we enjoyed the fire pit. Too cold for the pool even though it was heated - outside temps weren’t typical Florida. Mark was very helpful and responsive. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks!

Relaxing Getaway Property
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Blue Paradise ! Some of what the house had to offer . It was Very clean , a well equipped kitchen , beautiful pool & screened area for relaxing . We also enjoyed the water views & watching nature on the private pier . Our day at the beach was wonderful, due to the fact that all beach supplies were in the garage & available for our use ! Location was great ! Mins to restaurants , beach & conveniences . Having the split bedroom floorplan & plenty entraining space, both inside & out , worked great for two couples ! Check in & out , was easy ( we found the House Info Book very helpful ) & the host was excellent ! We would love to come back to The Blue Paradise, in the near future, for another Island Getaway !!!!

Nice and quiet
We enjoyed our week here. House was clean, area was quiet, pool was great. Only downside was that the wifi would go out every morning and didn’t come back up till about 10am. Reported it the first day, but it happened every day we were there, so not exactly sure why it was happening. Thankfully i talked my husband in to not working while we were there, but that would have been a disruption had we been depending on that for work reasons. Otherwise, we had a great time at this house!

Lovely home on the water
Our family had a great stay in your beautiful blue paradise home. We enjoyed the beaches of Marco Island and boating the 10K islands and coming back to your clean, crisp and comfortable home. Evenings in the pool, grilling out and late night family billiard games were a plus. Would love to return someday.

Annual Marco Island visit
The home was immaculate and quiet. We visit Marco Island annually to fish with our favorite fishing guide. This is the first year to experience a tropical storm. Mark was so gracious that upon our arrival we were able to access the home during the torrential rains. We have stayed in several Marco vacation homes. This is my favorite for sure. Thank you for sharing this beautiful home.

Good stay
Roomy and comfortable property. Nice lanai and pool area. Equipped with large and modern TVs. Kitchen was very nice with very new appliances. Enjoyed the pool table! We made good use of the beach chairs, wagon and cooler provided by the property manager for trips to the beach. Furniture is comfortable but somewhat sparse and dated. Had to purchase many of our own household supplies that I would have assumed to be provided by the property manager (toilet paper, dishwasher soap and garbage bags). Given the size of our party and length of stay, the limited supplies provided at the start only lasted 2 days. We purchased (and left for future visitors) a coffee pot and 2 large beach umbrellas. Overall, we had a great time and would recommend the property!
