Our stay at Marks Place was great. We enjoyed the backyard area and that it had a locked fence around the pool, it made it easy for us all to be outside when we didn’t want to be in the water and not worry about our littles falling in while they played or we grilled. Everything was as described and we will definitely be booking again. Honeymoon island was only a short drive and we enjoyed the convenience of it being so close to the house. We didn’t enjoy the upstairs deck much because of the sun, but it would’ve made a good spot for dinner if it had an umbrella. ☺️ we look forward to planning another vacation soon to Marks Place.

Nice clean space. The pool was great. Too many automated messages but I understand managing many properties and needing automation.
