It will lose some temperature overnight and once the pool heater turns back on in the morning it will heat the pool again up to the set temperature. Most heat pumps automatically shut off when the temperature drops below 50 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent damage.

Quick getaway

We needed to be in Marco to visit for s few days and needed our own dog-friendly place. It was perfect. The house was immaculate and very well equipped. It was also very comfortable. I will definitely plan on returning when I can.

A wonderful stay

We had great communication with Kristin. She provided us with tons of information about activities, restaurants, etc. The house was exactly as described and ideal for our Thanksgiving week. We prepared a lot of meals and found a well-equipped kitchen and pantry. Comfortable beds and nicely laid-out bathrooms made our stay perfect. We wouldn't hesitate to rent from Kristin again.

Perfect Family Getaway on Marco Island

We had an amazing week-long stay in Beach Block on Mendel on Marco Island. The place was super clean and very nice. The pool was a highlight for us, providing hours of fun and relaxation. It felt like a home away from home, with a cozy and sweet atmosphere that made our family vacation perfect! We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great getaway spot!

Marco Family Vacation

Highly recommend this home for family vacations. Nicely updated, decorated and clean. It is a short walk to the beach, restaurants, & shopping. It has all the necessities plus bikes, beach items, grill, kids games, baby items such as a pack-n-play. Lovely pool area. Really everything you need and then some. Communication with the owner is easy and quick response time. I would definitely stay again if in the area. BTW …Make sure you go to Snook Inn to eat and pick up takeout at Leebfish. Also, Marco Farmers Market on Wednesdays is a must.

Absolutely wonderful!

The house is beautifully decorated! The walk to the beach was so easy and the house has all the beach equipment needed (wagons, umbrellas, chairs, sand toys, boogie boards, etc). The house even provided bikes so we could tour the island by bike. The kitchen was fully stocked with more than enough to cook our own meals. The house is also close to restaurants/shops within walking distance. We will definitely be booking with Kristen again - she was a wonderful host and always answered any questions we had promptly.

Great Place to Stay!

I've been staying here for the past several years. My family and I love the place and always enjoy it. The home is roomy and the pool is great. Walking or biking to the beach is very handy with the location of this home. The owner was always prompt with communication. I would recommend this home to anyone. Marco Island is my home away from home and we look forward to visiting every year!!

Great Pool Home Close to Beach!

Outstanding 4 Bedroom home within walking distance to the beach. Everything worked well in the house and the large heated pool was used frequently during our stay. Owner (Kristen) was easily contacted and accommodated our early arrival request. While the house was in excellent condition, the owner is currently renovating the interior so this home will be even a better place to stay. We’ve found our home away from home in Marco Island! Thanks Kristen for the hospitality!

great location, home and host!

Enjoyed our stay! Close to beach and lots to do within biking distance. House was well equipped with back pack beach chairs and bikes to ride. Used the yoga mat for beach yoga. Nice cooler for the boat we rented! Kitchen had everything more than expected and the furnishings were all super cute in house with lots of extra blankets. We biked to mini golf, gelato, dinner, the jw marriott and really enjoyed our stay. Host was helpful. Responsive and even had a handyman who came and took trash out. Great home to rent with good layout for parents w teens/kids or another family on the other side of house. Would be good for grandparents and family. Loved having 3 king beds and a bunk bed room.

Family Vacation

This year was the 4th year we rented the same house on Mendel. The new owner is great to communicate with, and has already made improvements to the home. We loved it before, and she has made it better! The home is perfect for the 6 members of my family (myself and husband, kids 12 and 10, and my parents). We particularly enjoyed the pool being heated this year. The outdoor TV is a great addition as well, but I have to admit, we didn’t use it! It was warmer than usual during our stay so we opted for inside TV. As always, the bikes, wagons and beach chairs/umbrellas ensure you will have a great day at the beach. The extra fridge in the garage is also handy for keeping extra drinks cold. Thank you for yet another wonderful Marco family vacation!
