Dear Future Guest,

Sometimes with all the alternatives available it is difficult to choose or to even know if you are SAFE in the decision you make. What may look like A BETTER DEAL on the surface, may turn out to be a VACATION NIGHTMARE. We hear this all the time from individuals that have previously rented with other owners and were disappointed with the reality of what they found.

In fact, I would ask you to BOOKMARK our site, so that if for some reason you are not happy with a choice you make for this year, you will remember us for next years vacation villa.

As I obviously have a bias toward my homes, I will raise some questions and you can be the judge of how they apply to any home you look at:

WILL YOU BE HAPPY WITH THE LOCATION? Is it in a nice area? Any Commercial activity nearby? Is the street a major artery? Any Construction going on at the house next door?

Our Homes are all located in residential sections in what we consider to be -Highly Desirable- areas of Marco Island. Further, we have wonderful, wide water views. Royalty is adjacent to a park and Seacrest is a 6 minute walk to the beach next to the Marriott.

We provide a map of where every home is, so you can verify that the location meets your needs. if you are looking at other areas of Florida, be especially aware of the fact that Marco is truly unique, and as a result commands a higher rental rate then other areas of Florida. Further, Marco is very far south and as a result you can expect some of the best weather in the state.

HOW DO YOU STAY CLEAR OF THE GARBAGE? Or should I say SEWAGE. Many people do not realize that MOST of Marco Islands homes are on Septic Systems. Marco is currently at the beginning of a multi year project to replace all Septic systems with sewers in any sections of the island without sewers already. This means that if you rent a home that is not on Sewers already, they may be tearing up the road at/around the home during your vacation. When is doubt check the City master sewer plan - http://www.cityofmarcoisland.com/public_documents/MarcoIslandFL_DPW/STRP

Our Homes are on SEWERS and have been for many, many years. There are no SEWER lines going in on our blocks as they are in many sections of the island.

WILL THERE BE ANYTHING TO DO? What type of Amenities are in the home? Spa/Hot Tubs, Heated Pools, Always on Internet, Wireless LAN, DVDs, X-Box, GameCube, child supplies, Kids Videos, etc. Its the -Little Extras- that really make or break the vacation experience.

Our homes have basically everything in them we can think of. And if you get there and find it missing, we will do our best to deliver it to you. If you really want FULLY LOADED take a look at Royalty. Also, we keep our pools nice and warm and never charge extra for heating the pool to your tastes (up to 87 degrees).

WILL YOUR HOME BE MISSING IN ACTION?  Many owners get into the rental business while they wait for their property to appreciate.
Once they see the value increase they sell the home and leave you stranded. This has only become worse as individuals whom were trying to CASH IN on Marco Island Property value increases have been caught in the devaluation crisis and can no longer afford to keep their property maintained...or in many cases KEEP THEIR PROPERTY AT ALL!!! Think how you would feel to find out two weeks before your vacation, that the home you booked would not be available due to a last minute sale or foreclosure. Think of the stress that would cause in your vacation plans. Well...its happening. Not just on Marco, but in vacation rental communities all over the world.

With our homes the only surprise you will get will be a happy one!!! We treat this as a Family Business and subscribe to the highest standards of professionalism and service. In the unlikely event we ever sell a home, you would know way in advance and we would work with you to help you find a replacement.

DO YOU MATTER? How much do the home owners have to lose if you DO NOT enjoy your vacation experience? They may have one home, and not care very much if they retain you as a future guest. Some home owners make their living on -One hit wonders- and do not care if you ever come back. We have even heard stories of owners that make a second income on holding back peoples security.

With our homes, we offer a BEST IN CLASS Guest Retention program. Repeat guests and friends receive -DISCOUNTS AND SPECIALS- throughout the year. If you don't stay with us, you don't receive access to the private specials. We have rented over 850 times since we started in 2000. Many of these times have been to repeat guests who want the best value home they can find.

CAN YOU REACH THE OWNER? Do the owner have local support to ensure your comfort? Can you reach them if you need them?

With our homes you can! What that means is that when you need attention from us, we are here. Usually within minutes! Yet, we do not DISTURB you by stopping by unexpectedly if you don't need us. Further, it means that we can stop in before you do to ensure the cleanliness of the home. We use Professional companies with proven track records to keep our homes clean and maintained. We do not skimp on cleaning, cut critical services or forego needed repairs as many owners may have been doing.

We think you will agree these questions are worth asking - as in many businesses knowledge is king!. Please remember VALUE and PRICE are clearly not the same thing in the Villa world. Know what you are getting and pay for what you want. After all  its your hard earned vacation.....don't waste it!

If you find, as we believe you will, that our homes offer you the superior villa rental experience that you are looking for, simply click here http://www.marcomagic.com/MM_rental_makingit.htm to make a Request for our home.
