438 Kendall Drive

Nice comfortable home in a great location. Quiet neighborhood. Small well-kept pool and large lanai.

+ clean
+ nice pool
+ everything there
- sea access is really tiny (just a corner, limited view, no dolphins)
- the place is not the newest and might need a revamp at some point
- place is a bit dark

Overall quite good...only that two years ago we had a super outstanding place in Olde Marco and this compares quite lower in comparison.

House and pool were great
Some cleaning supplies should have been available to us there was nothing

Management company very responsive. Location very convenient

Beautiful and peaceful neighborhood. Home was comfortable and spacious. The private enclosed pool was a definite plus and the canal with water views was very calming and serene.

The house was perfect for our family vacation getaway. Everything we needed was available. Enjoyed the sparkling clean pool after day at the beach. We would go to south Marco beach. Great fishing on the jetty and clear water. Would stay here again. Marco Vacation Rental did a great job having the property ready for us.

The house is in a fantastic location near Tiger Tail Beach and lots of shopping. Overall we had a great time, but the house needs some updating. They need to spend a couple hundred dollars in the kitchen and get dishes and glasses and some better pots and pans. They need to invest in some new outdoor porch furniture. There is not a full size ironing board and the iron is old, burned and a piece of junk. Hotel rooms have better irons and ironing boards and cost a whole lot less than what we spent for the week.

The house was adorable. It had everything we needed. The rental company was very attentive and kept us informed all week. The beach was beautiful and close to the house.

Hi, This is our 2nd time to this house that we love but upon arrival we had to call the office to send us the cleaning crew, the house was never cleaned since their last booking, the cleaning service crew arrive and they used my mop which I didn't mind at all but for me this is wrong.House had an awful smell. There should have a supervisor that check every house upon cleaning, just to make sure that everything is all right for the next party.

We enjoyed our stay in Marco at this nice home. Centrally located, near Tigertail, comfortable home. Some cleaning had been overlooked when we arrived, but the owner jumped right on it and resolved all to our satisfaction, very responsive. Everything was solid with the house and pool, and there's so much to do in beautiful Marco Island! Thank you!

This house was perfect for everyone and allows pets. Open and spacious with a wrap around lanai and a heated inground pool. We stayed there with our 2 grandkids and had plenty to do. There are bikes, fishing poles and beach toys in the garage to use. We did it all. Tigertail beach is walking distance. It was a great time shelling on the beautiful, uncrowded white sand beach. I can't wait to come again. Thank you!

The property was filthy inside and out. Lots and lots of dog hair everywhere. The tile floors left your feet black on the bottom even after a shower. One toilet worked marginally. The power went out one afternoon for at least 8 hours. The main breaker had to be replaced. We had to buy hangers and the towel situation was lacking.The pool was grimy around the whole top edges.

This property is lovely with a beautiful view of the canal. Very peaceful and tranquil, I always enjoy my stay here!

The location was perfect. The style of home was great. The furniture was very outdated and uncomfortable. Needs updated bad. Would love to book this home every year if the home was updated. We have stayed in many rentals in Marco but have never stayed in one so outdated. The couch was falling apart and had to be 20 years old. Beds were old too and mismatched furniture in rooms. We loved our stay regardless of the furniture.

the place was very nice
could have been a little more cleaner

This was a great summer retreat for us— we saw dolphins and manatees in the canal off the dock, burrowing owls in the yard, we swam every day and really enjoyed the screened in lanai. The house was well appointed in the kitchen with all the culinary accessories you need to cook for a family and the bikes made it a breeze to get to Tigertail. The house was very clean but definitely needs some updating: the beach towels are frayed, some of the linens are rather dated and the furniture is ready for a makeover. But really, these are small things in comparison to the enjoyment you get there. Andrew and the team at Marco Island Vacation Properties handled any problems quickly and efficiently so we look forward to renting with them again. The only issue that really needs to be addressed at the property is the couch... it is so worn and the wicker is flaking. We put blankets over the arms when we were there to help minimize our contact with it so we wouldn’t contribute to the wear, but I think it is at the end of its lifespan. We’re pretty easygoing so we didn’t let it bother us but it’s very noticeable. Also, if you have a small pet, you may want to consider that there are several areas where the screen on the lanai is unattached to the bottom rail so it could mean an escape if your fur baby is really small. Overall, I recommend this charming little spot— especially with your four legged friends — the doggie door into a fenced yard is quite the bonus. We had a great summer!

Very clean, well stocked home at a great location.

We really enjoyed the home, it’s amenities and location! Loved the layout of the house. Kitchen completely equip with everything needed to make meals! Comfortable bed! Only one negative...pool was cleaned on Monday...lawn service came on Tuesday, so pool never seemed truly clean with leaves, etc blown toward pool area. Have already booked again for next fall! Management company is great to work with!

This was our first trip to Marco as most of the family traveled together with our dogs! We had an issue with one of the screens that was tied up with fishing line, and when the storm came through it was knocked down! We contacted the rental company over the weekend and they had someone out Monday to get it fixed.
It was great having a doggy door for the dogs to get to the grassy area, but having to walk around the pick up after them was a bit hard especially when it was dark out, having a door near them going in and out would have been much easier.
Also, when we cooked at the house we had to wash everything before we used it as it was put away still dirty!
We enjoyed watching the water and even saw a dolphin playing around in the canal and enjoyed the pool!
We appreciate being able to bring our dogs, just wished the furniture wasn't so large so they had a little more space to lay on the floor.
We did love watching the owls right next to the house, and the trip to Keewayin with Hemingway Shuttle!

We found the location to be central to everything in Marco Island and in addition to convenience, a dip in the pool was refreshing and the screen porch views over the canal were a great way to end each day. The only negative and it was not a show stopper is the traffic noise on Kendall Drive when you are in the pool. Otherwise, the evenings were quiet and the streets were safe to take a stroll. The team at Marco Island Vacation Properties were very easy to work with and the entire experience was pleasant. We would opt to go through them again and even stay at this same residence in the future.

The house was really nice & clean, the rental company & the Management were very helpful, the experience was awesome, close to Tigertail Beach and for sure looking forward to come back again.

Thank you,
Bertha & Carlos

Our stay was wonderful in every way . Nice weather beautiful vacation home,prompt and courteous service.will share with friends our experience.we would rate all questions about stay at 5 plus

Wonderful house,had everything we needed such grill with utensils,plenty of serving bowls,platters and appliances,large beach towels. My kids and I had a great time using the bikes to tour thru the neighborhood and my son enjoyed fishing off of the dock (fishing pole was available,just had to make a trip to get some bait!) I enjoyed reading some of the books that were left at the house. We did not bring our dog but there was a secured fenced in area for pets with a doggie door into the pool area. Our dog would have enjoyed that. The house is located in a residential area, which I liked. but a quick drive or bike ride to the hotels and more tourist-type businesses satisfied my teenagers shopping urge. The weather was rainy/cloudy all week so we only went to beach 1 day. The beach access is a short drive or bike ride (house had beach chairs,sand toys,beach umbrella) but, due to the mangroves,once you cross to beach access it is a bit of a walk to get to the beach itself. I would recommend this property to family/friends. It was clean,well supplied and well maintained. Thanks for a great vacation.

We rented this home for 5 days at the end of May and it was everything as described and more. Right on the water with a dock to sit and watch the birds and fish.
Home was great location close to shops, restaurants and beaches. Pet friendly was a plus for our two little doxies. Would definitely rent this home again. Home was equipped with all you need for a great vacation.

Great location. Great pool and screen house

438 Kendall is a very well maintained home in a great location. The furnishings and appliances are all in good condition. Brand new with our stay were a grill, dock lounge chairs, and the microwave that was replaced the same day it malfunctioned. A lot of thought has gone into making the house easy to use - switches are marked, there is a keyless entry system for the front door and garage, etc. The kitchen is well appointed.

Previous reviews pointed out that the bicycles were in need of repairs and that the privacy fence around the pool had not been repaired since Irma. Both of these issues have been resolved. There are two brand new bikes, and the other two bikes have been refurbished, so now there are four functional bikes in the garage along with locks and an air pump; we were grateful for that thoughtfulness. The fence was replaced during our stay, a day earlier than promised and without any disruption to our activities.

We have been extremely impressed with the professionalism and responsiveness of Elizabeth from the rental company and the property manager, Fergy. We could not have asked for better service from either, but Fergy really stands out as friendly, funny, and approachable for the smallest of issues. It has been a pleasure interacting with everybody involved in this property and we highly recommend it.

Rental listed as having sleeping sofa. Couch does not pull out as sofa. Also , was informed that fence damaged during storm would be fixed which it was not. Rental was good location and one maintenance issue we had was resolved very quickly.

We found the home to be exactly as pictured, with the exception of the fenced in yard which was damaged by Hurricane Irma and not yet repaired. The description sites "a sofa bed" which actually ment "you can sleep on the sofa". There were two bikes but both were in sad shape. The house was clean and well equipped but nothing luxurious and somewhat dated in decor. We used the heated pool everyday. The location was excellent. Not really a "short" walk to Tigertail Beach, esp loaded down with beach stuff. Fergie and the management staff were excellent!! We loved that the home was pet friendly. We would definitely rent this house again and would highly recommend it.

Great Weather, Home is comfortable and has everything needed for family vacation. Quiet location on end of canal. New construction next door was fairly quiet, but did not start before 8:00am. Pool was on side of home, not back. Had fenced area for dog with doggy door from lanai. Accessing beaches on Marco in general requires a bit of walk. Close to grocery stores and restaurants.

The tall bushes at the end of the driveway made it very difficult to see the sidewalk and road for traffic.

Lovely house, beautiful pool and great location. Pretty view from lanai. Management company was very responsive when problems arose. The only problem was that the master bed and the living room furniture were very uncomfortable.

We found 438 Kendall peaceful, beautiful, clean, convenient to a relative living nearby and the management was very responsive.

Pool great House old rusty and dirt areas accumulated for years many windows hard to use Mater bedroom bed so high one has to climb
