CASA DEL MAR - Walk to Snook Inn and the Marco River Marina!

Get ready for an idyllic island getaway at Casa del Mar, an exquisite two-story coastal mansion on picturesque Marco Island.

As the name implies, its prime waterfront location and highly sought-after western exposure and designer-decorated interiors embody the epitome of luxury living. Hand-selected for Marco Escapes' portfolio of gorgeous Marco Island properties, this newly constructed home is an entertainer's dream with well-equipped indoor and outdoor kitchens, an expansive veranda and coveted open concept design.

The entrance of Casa Del Mar is framed by towering palm trees and captivating Mediterranean-inspired architecture. Step through the stately double doors to immerse yourself in this modern, six bedroom, five and one half bathroom home that sleeps twelve.

Allow yourself a moment to admire how the great room's geometric recessed ceilings, contemporary lighting fixtures, plush furnishings and monochromatic color palette make a grand first impression. Carefully neutral nautical décor and accents reminiscent of sea-glass bring echoes of the ocean into Casa Del Mar common areas.

Next, head to the vacation rental's fully stocked gourmet kitchen. Designed to indulge even the most discerning chefs, the kitchen's top-of-the-line appliances, custom cabinetry and sprawling granite countertops provide ample space and premium amenities to cater to every guest's needs.

From here, you can whip up a quick breakfast, pack lunches and beverages for your beach day, or host a lavish dinner party. The kitchen also features an expansive island bar with seating for six.

A nearby dining table also seats up to six with serene water views. Just off the kitchen, you'll find a laundry room with washer, dryer and sink where you can recover from lazy pool days or beach adventures.

But the most incredible feature of Casa Del Mar is, without question, the expansive sliding glass doors that bathe the home in natural light. Ready to welcome the mornings with open doors with carefree ease? Throw open the sliders in the living room, dining room and each bedroom to transform the space.

The effect seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor waterfront living. It's what makes Casa Del Mar perfect for entertaining – whether you and your guests are celebrating a special milestone, family reunion or just enjoying the change of scenery and breath of fresh air. Most importantly, the home's western exposure ensures warm afternoon sunshine for your little corner of paradise.

Make your way onto the veranda to admire its focal point, a uniquely shaped, geometric outdoor pool and hot tub with trickling water feature. In the shallow end, a pair of reclining, submerged lounge chairs let the pool's gentle currents lap around your feet under shaded cover. Bring a good book or best friend to pass the time, while balmy breezes keep sunbathers feeling cool and refreshed.

Nearby, three chaise sun lounges overlook the vacation rental's boat dock and prized waterway views. Casa Del Mar's coveted waterfront location provides direct access to Collier Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.

If it is a shaded waterfront view you seek, head for the lanai. Here, a stunning shiplap-paneled ceiling provides mid-afternoon shade and rain cover over inviting outdoor dining and conversation areas.

Tell the grill master in your party that it's time to show off those skills at Casa Del Mar's impressive cooking station. The veranda's dining set seats up to 10, with a large internet-enabled HDTV for outdoor entertainment – or catching the latest game. Nearby, a comfortable sofa and recliners offer a spot where family and friends can gather for lively conversation or quiet moments of relaxation.

When it's time to wind down for the day, the vacation rental's six bedrooms offer plenty of choices. On the main floor, you'll find the spacious master suite with direct access to the outdoor terrace. Its seamless fusion of indoor comfort and outdoor serenity invites you to start each day enveloped in luxury. Not to mention its seashell-inspired décor, reminding you that miles of pristine beaches are just a stone's throw away!

Pamper yourself in the opulent ensuite bathroom, featuring a luxurious soaking tub, dual his-and-her vanities and striking lighting fixtures. You won't want to miss the spacious, custom walk-in shower adorned with exquisite tile work and designer fixtures.

Down the hallway, another guest room lets two rest and recharge before another exciting day on Marco Island. Its ocean blues and seashell artwork flow from the room to its ensuite bathroom. Here, the cool blue accents pop amidst the bathroom's walk-in shower and mosaic floor, dual sink and vanity, sleek modern fixtures and numerous brightly lit mirrors.

When it's time to explore Casa Del Mar's second story, you'll first arrive in a nautically themed recreation room. Complete with high-definition television, dark leather sofa and shuffleboard table, the room offers a place for guests to unwind during vacation.

Open the room's sliding doors to access the second-floor balcony. It's the perfect spot to sip a cup of morning coffee or watch the sun trace a fiery path across the sky, creating one of Southwest Florida's famed sunsets.

Just down the hallway are the home's remaining bedrooms, complete with nautically themed decorations befitting the home's name: Casa Del Mar. Each bedroom in this Marco Escapes vacation rental includes internet-enabled HDTV, complimentary Wi-Fi and SONOS HiFi Audio.

Another guest bedroom offers its very own, dedicated balcony overlooking tropical landscaping and the neighboring community. Seating for two creates a quiet, intimate space, insulated from playful laughter drifting from the common areas. This guest bedroom shares a beautiful navy and white, coastal-style bathroom with a second guest bedroom – one that's designed with your party's youngest guests in mind.

Echoing a ship's bunks, this unusual room features white shiplap paneling as the backdrop for expansive, custom loft-style beds. Sleeping up to six little sea pirates, these one-of-a-kind beds are adorned with nautical stripes and carved railings for safety. Kids will love the opportunity to form their crew and take vacation by storm! As the décor reminds, home is where the anchor drops.

The home's last bedroom offers sleeping accommodations for three. Its teal and seafoam green-patterned décor features seahorses and the surf. The attached bathroom includes matching him-and-her sinks, convenient storage drawers and decorative accents that blend sand and sea.

For those more interested in exploration than staying indoors, you're in luck! Casa Del Mar is near the best amenities Marco Island offers. As the largest of more than 10,000 local islands, there's plenty to discover just beyond your front door!

In fact, you are located within walking distance to the historic Snook Inn and Marco River Marina! Boat lovers can launch their journey here, or from the nearby Rose Marina, with access to fishing or shelling charters, boat rentals and the Island Princess yacht for a lunch or dinner tour.
