We first heard about MI through friends up north who have family in Naples. My husband and I decided to give it a try back in 04. Tired of staying in hotels we googled "homes for rent" and were very pleased with what we found. Needless to say we rented a house for a week with our own pool, dock, dolphins and manatee right out back. It truly is paradise and we are so greatful for people like "Jaguar" who rent out their homes on a weekly basis. We will never stay in a hotel again! We started out by going 1 wk a yr and now for the last 3yrs have been coming 2 x a yr for a week at a time because of work schedules. There is no need for us to leave the island when we visit...it has everything we need. We dine out every day, rent boats, go on fishing charters and shop, just to mention a few things.Oh and did I mention we got married on the beach using a local florist, pastor, photographer etc.. Right now we are looking to buy our own house on Marco to retire to someday. Moral of the story is: look what spending 1 week on Marco Island can turn into. The handful of bad owners needs to be held accountable. Why punish everyone.
