Why book this Marco Island rental direct

· Travis & Jaime

Pool terrace and outdoor dining table at Pirates Cove Marco Island
Stunning waterfront vacation rental in Marco Island, FL. 3BR/2BA, sleeps 9, heated pool and boat dock. Why book direct? Skip the extra fees and save by booking direct instead of Airbnb or VRBO.

The math

Airbnb and Vrbo add a guest service fee at checkout. It typically lands between 14 and 16 percent of the total. On a week in high season that is several hundred dollars.

We publish the same nightly rate here that we publish on the platforms. Booking direct removes the fee, not the service.

What you still get

A secure booking and payment through our own booking system with Stripe, a signed rental agreement, and a $1,500 refundable security hold rather than a charge.

You also message the owners directly. We reply within an hour in almost every case.

The house, briefly

Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, sleeps nine. Heated saltwater pool, screened lanai, private dock with Gulf access, dog friendly with approval.

Bikes, kayaks, paddleboards, beach gear and fishing gear are all included.
