Fantastic homemade breads, jams along with any breakfast item that you would want! We never had to rent a vehicle because there were also bikes for rent. Nice, large spacious rooms that were very clean, and a pool that was also on the water. I didn't want to leave. Marlene was such a gracious and accommodating host. This was an... More

We stayed at Hemingway House just last weekend and loved it! Marlene was warm and welcoming and we had some good conversations. Our room was perfect - beautifully decorated overlooking the pool and the water. Breakfast was one of the best we have ever had! Quiche, fruit, bread, to-die-for homemade jams and apricot coffee cake. I got the recipe! We... More

We found The Hemingway House at Marco Island by internet, looking for B&B at the Gulf side of Florida. The site and information given was good, but the live experience was much better! First of all: Marlene, the owner, helped us even before we arrived, with information regarding the place and the Marco Island. With care and courtesy, she welcomed... More

Our delay in planning a quick winter getaway led to disappointment in finding all beachfront rentals already booked. That disappointment disappeared when we found Hemingway House. We arrived after midnight after taking Nabil's good advice to drive direct from the Fort Myers airport rather than staying that night in a nondescript airport hotel. Marlene waited up for us and we... More

Recently, I read a review of Hemingway House and couldn't believe the unfavorable comments which were furthest from the truth! My husband and I recently vacationed there for 11 wonderful days. We were so pleased with its spacious accommodations and amenities, but above all, the hospitality of Marlene Church, proprietor, was what made our stay so awesome. She is welcoming... More

Unlike many of the reviews listed here, we don't recommend The Hemingway House of Marco Island. The Hemingway House is a private home on one of the most expensive pieces of real estate property in Florida. The building and grounds are very nicely done, and it has a private outdoor salt-water pool. And you might think to yourself "Wow! I... More

Although we were expecting a small hotel, we were extremely surprised and pleased to find ourselves in a larger private home. We were immediately made welcome and be part of the family. This was a beautiful home and a wonderful location. We were able to view Manatees swimming in the waterways directly to the rear of the property. The breakfasts... More

I was passing through from Fort Lauderdale to Tampa and had always wanted to visit Marco Island. I took a chance on the Hemingway House of Marco Island. I met Marlene at check in and she immediately got my room and began offering insight for activities I may be interested in doing. I had my bike with me, but if... More

My honey and I wanted a different experience other than the traditional hotel to bring in his 41st birthday. I booked in advance and got a really good rate. Both Nabil and Marlene are a breath of fresh air (they run this beautiful home). They were so glad to answer the many questions I had and really go out of... More
