Hernando, the starting point of an epic journey into a new world of luxury in the sun.  Named in honor of the legendary conquistador Hernando de Soto, this home reflects the conquest of the traditional vacation home rental experience and the birth of a lavish new method of escape.

Welcome to Hernando, one of the most luxurious and breathtakingly beautiful island villas on Marco Island.  Situated on the water in the quiet and quaint Northwestern part of the island, this brand-new estate boasts stunning views, sleek contemporary design, and a fantastic location only steps from the award-winning sands of Tigertail Beach !!  This modern luxury home offers thousands of square feet of living space with 7 guest suites and 6.5 bathrooms.

This private waterfront estate is framed by palms and drenched in sunshine from sunrise to sunset offering magical moments in the salty air day in and day out.  Hernando is the ideal villa for bringing together family and friends for recreation and relaxation.

Hernando is host to a spacious, ultra-modern interior with designer-made dressings and design throughout.  The home’s clean and streamlined architectural style promotes indoor/outdoor living which flows directly out to the waterfront where dolphins swim and shorebirds fly.

Enter into the grandiose main living space and allow the sumptuous aura of Hernando to embrace you and your guests.  The formal sitting area opens to the waterfront and is accented by the soaring atrium reaching towards the second floor.  The open living space extends into the gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances and an elegant kitchen island and breakfast bar.  A dining area located just off the kitchen is the perfect location to enjoy locally-caught seafood or a cocktail as the sun goes down.  Open the massive sliding glass door to enjoy the gulf breeze as you dine and entertain.

Outside, the magnificence of the home spills into the fresh air on the resort-like back deck.  Unwind with a glass of wine in the open-air living room with expansive views of the sky and sunset.  Enjoy an afternoon on the sun deck or splashing in the cerulean waters of the pool and spa.  Grill a fillet and host a picnic at the unpretentious outdoor kitchen and dining area.  Making the most of your time outside is easy when you choose Hernando - after all, isn’t that what Marco Island is for?

Every guest room and bathroom continue with the same coastal elegance found in every corner of the villa.  Unique design elements with a classic edge highlight every room and bathroom to create an undeniable atmosphere of modern elegance.

Hernando offers unique amenities that are sure to please even the most scrupulous guests.  Sip on a dirty martini or icy margarita at the private glass-top bar.  Step away and take care of business in the discreet home office.  On a rare rainy day, watch a movie in the private screening room.  Send the kids to the spare bedroom-- it makes for the perfect playroom.  Whatever you may need, you are sure to find it in this home.

The Golden Age of Exploration begins with your next vacation ...

As with all Marco Escapes’ fine island properties, Hernando is dressed with HDTV, WIFI, full complement of finer linens throughout, a true fully stocked gourmet kitchen, electrically heated pool, beach gear and far more.
