DORANDO - Walk to the Shoppes and Restaurants of the Esplanade!

Tucked along a tranquil canal just minutes from Tigertail Beach, Dorando invites you to slow down, savor the sunshine and embrace the easygoing spirit of Marco Island. This beautifully updated coastal retreat blends relaxed elegance with all the comforts of home – a private pool, modern interiors and light-filled living spaces designed for carefree days and laid-back evenings.

From the moment you arrive, the charm is unmistakable. Neat landscaping and Spanish-style pergola set the tone for a peaceful island stay, while the home's clean lines, neutral palette and warm, coastal touches hint at the comfort waiting inside. Step through the front door and you're welcomed by an open-concept layout that feels fresh, bright and inviting.

The main living area is tastefully styled with a modern, beach-inspired color scheme and thoughtful furnishings that blend comfort with simplicity. A large sectional offers ample seating for movie nights or midafternoon naps, while the flat-screen Smart HDTV offers premium channels and modern convenience without stealing attention from the beautiful canal views just beyond the sliding glass doors.

Nearby, the dining area features a family-friendly table that easily accommodates six, encouraging shared meals and lively game nights. Meanwhile, the kitchen strikes the perfect balance between stylish and practical. Shaker-style cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and gleaming quartz countertops create a clean and functional workspace. A large central island invites easy conversation over breakfast or a glass of wine while dinner simmers on the stove.

But the real magic happens outdoors, where Marco Island's natural beauty meets resort-style relaxation. Step onto the spacious screened lanai and take in the sparkling pool, surrounded by a sun-drenched patio, swaying palms and a winding waterway view. Your guests will appreciate plenty of seating options, from modern conversation sets to well-appointed outdoor dining areas under a shaded, lit overhang featuring the home's eye-catching pergolas and expansive yard. Whether you're floating with a good book, firing up the grill or trying your hand at bocce ball, this is where vacation memories are made.

Beyond the lanai, a private dock offers front-row seats to the waterfront. For some, that vacation feeling starts by enjoying morning coffee at the water's edge or a nightcap around the dock's firepit. It is also ideal for launching a paddleboard, casting a line or just watching the occasional dolphin cruise by. And at Marco Escapes, we like to make it easy for our guests to explore both land and sea, by including six beach chairs and an umbrella, a cooler and cart, and a pair of beach-cruiser bikes with every vacation rental home.

With three bedrooms and two full baths, Dorando offers plenty of space for families or small groups to spread out and relax. The primary suite is a serene retreat all on its own, featuring luxurious furnishings, soft metallics and a sliding glass door that leads directly to the lanai. The adjoining en-suite bath is equally inviting with dual vanities, generous counter space and stunning walk-in shower that will make you feel like royalty!

Two additional guest bedrooms offer thoughtful flexibility: one with a plush queen bed with lush velvet, and the other outfitted with a pair of bright, coral-colored twin beds perfect for children or travel companions.
Both rooms are stylishly furnished and share access to the second full bath with a clean, modern aesthetic.

Tigertail Beach, one of Marco Island's most iconic coastal gems, is just a short ride away. Spend the day shelling, paddleboarding through the mangroves or strolling the sandbar at low tide before returning to Dorando for a sunset swim and a grilled dinner under the stars.

It's also located just moments from the Esplanade Shoppes at Marco Island, which includes a popular live music destination, CJ's on the Bay, as well as a 77-slip marina for boats. With its coastal Italian atmosphere, many enjoy taking a promenade along the waterfront and exploring its boutique shopping, fine dining and entertainment.

With its prime location, tasteful interiors and thoughtfully curated amenities, Dorando is the kind of home that feels just right.
