May 7, 2018 By Dawn

It’s rich with over a century of history. Real estate in Old Marco offers you friendly neighbors, beautiful and luxurious homes, and breathtaking views.

Old Marco never quite lost its fishing roots. Even still, fishing boats leave Old Marco Island daily for adventure.The area features a maze of canals and roadways, spectacular condominium complexes and homes right on the water. You’ll even find cozy one-bedroom homes perfect for starting out or retiring.

There’s even the Marco Island Historical Museum, which explores the now permanently lost Calusa and Muspa Native Americans. They belong among Ten Thousand Islands district of the Glades culture. Old Marco is the site of a famous 1895 archaeological expedition. The Key Marco Cat (a half feline, half human being carved into wood) is considered one of the most intriguing Native American artifacts ever discovered in Florida. It was found right here in the very soil that is now Old Marco.

What to Know Before Buying a Vacation Home on Marco Island

January 29, 2016 By Angie Johnston

Before you buy a home in your favorite vacation spot – Marco Island, of course – there are a couple of things you need to think about to ensure you’re making the best possible decision.

What to Know Before Buying a Vacation Home on Marco Island

The first thing to ask yourself is whether you plan to rent out your home while you’re not using it; that can have a big impact on your decision, particularly because many condo and homeowner’s associations have specific rules governing rentals.

Many people choose to buy vacation homes without renting them out, which is a great idea if you want an “anytime escape” (especially if you’re dodging wintry weather up North!).

If you’re thinking about buying a vacation home on Marco Island, ask yourself:

Does it fit into your financial plans? Just like your primary home, you can’t count on selling it (or making a profit, for that matter).
What are the total costs, including utilities, HOA or condo fees, and property taxes? What about insurance, furnishing the home and the recreational gear you’ll need to keep there?
Would you make a profit on rental income, or would you break even? Would you make less than what you’d need to cover the mortgage?
Who can keep track of the home when you’re not in it? How will you protect it when it’s vacant?

Buying a vacation home on Marco Island can be a fantastic idea, especially if you intend to transition to it as a full-time residence after retirement or you plan on using it frequently.
