South-facing sunshine, and Premier Host on Vrbo

Pool deck looking out to the canal at Pirates Cove Marco Island
Nothing beats the south-facing all day sunshine of Marco Island, sitting by our saltwater heated pool on the waterfront canal at our vacation home. We just reached Premier Host status on VRBO too.

South-facing is not a small detail

On Marco Island, plenty of canal homes sit in shade by early afternoon. Ours faces south, so the pool deck keeps sun through the day and the water stays warm.

In winter that is the difference between a pool people swim in and a pool people look at.

What Premier Host means

Vrbo awards it for consistently high ratings, fast replies and reliable bookings. We hold 10/10 on Vrbo, 5.0 on Airbnb and 5 stars on Google.

It is a useful signal if you are comparing listings, but the reviews themselves say more.

Who the house suits

Families, boaters, beach people and anyone who wants a pool they will actually use. Sleeps nine, dog friendly with approval.
