There’s something timeless and relaxing about a coastal escape – and especially one that’s been recently reimagined with fresh details, high-end finishes and modern creature comforts. Close your eyes and feel the gentle Gulf breeze. You’re on island time now!

Welcome to Driftwood Palms, a newly redesigned, premier vacation rental by Marco Escapes that makes the most of its scenic waterfront location in Marco Island. This 4-bedroom, 3.5-bedroom home features a spacious open floor plan concept that serves as a refreshing retreat for up to 8 guests.

Tucked into a quiet neighborhood just minutes from South Marco Beach, this home makes a memorable first impression. Step inside and you’ll find its updated interior features striking hardwood floors, modern lighting and fixtures, nautical decor and sprawling common spaces create the perfect backdrop for your island vacation. Throughout the home, you’ll find decorative accents that are reminiscent of the sand, wind and waves.

Head to the lanai to admire its waterfront views and anticipate a splash in the heated swimming pool. During your stay, be sure to soak up some Florida rays in the poolside lounge chairs, use the outdoor kitchen to prove your skill on the grill, and even dine outside under the stars!

Indoors, the main living space is open, airy and channeling the blue hues of the ocean, anchored by a plush sectional sofa that offers ample room to stretch out after a day in the sun. A large, mounted flatscreen HDTV offers entertainment option in addition to the patio and waterfront views – and access to the lanai. The vacation rental home’s open floor plan and modern sliding doors allow for the signature Marco Escapes indoor-outdoor lifestyle that’s perfect for vacation on island time!

The living area flows seamlessly into the dining space and fully stocked kitchen. Truly a chef’s dream, this kitchen was made for gathering, entertaining, and refueling between beach days and exploration. Top-of-the-line appliances, expansive countertops with modern cabinetry and a large kitchen island welcome everyone to gather ‘round and plan the day ahead. Don’t miss the handover window, which makes it easy to pass poolside snacks and prepared dishes to the lanai during mealtimes!

Nearby, the dining table offers space for six. On the other side of the kitchen, two sitting chairs are positioned for conversation with the chef du jour or a quiet morning coffee.

Throughout the home, guests will appreciate the attention to detail: brand-new, wooden floors that feel cool underfoot, along with thoughtful decorative accents that nod to the sea, and light-filtering window treatments that let in just the right amount of Florida sunshine. You’ll also find a modern, well-lit home office space with geometric furniture and decor for the business-minded guest in your party.

Down the hallway, you’ll find the primary suite, which includes direct access to the lanai with an ensuite bath, his-and-hers vanities, a large soaking tub, and a deluxe walk-in shower framed by palm trees. Each of the home’s four bedrooms comes equipped with its own smart TV, ample storage and high-speed WiFi.

Take the staircase to the second floor to make use of the upper screened observation balcony during fiery sunsets or tranquil starry nights. Here, you’ll find everything you need to recover from beach day, including a laundry area with a full-size washer, dryer and industrial sink. A family room in nautical blue is the perfect place to relax after a long day – or gather to say good morning.

Looking to explore the island? This location puts you just minutes from Marco’s world-famous beaches, casual and fine dining, excellent fishing and boating, boutique shopping, natural beauty and wildlife, music scene, and other local attractions. With bikes and beach gear included, Marco Escapes makes it easy to load up for the day and head out for sand, shells, and sunshine.
