Getting Around:
Airport & Arrival
685 N Barfield is about 45 miles from Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) in Fort Myers – roughly a 50–60 minute drive south along I-75 and across the bridge to Marco Island. Most guests rent a car at the airport, which we highly recommend for maximum flexibility during your stay.
Do You Need a Car?
Yes, a car is essential for a Marco Island vacation. While the island itself is compact (only 6 miles long), you'll want the freedom to explore different beaches, visit restaurants, make grocery runs, and take day trips to Naples or the Everglades. This home includes garage parking plus additional driveway space.
Getting Around Marco Island
The island is incredibly easy to navigate – there's essentially one main road (Collier Boulevard/SR 951) that runs the length of the island. You're never more than 10 minutes from anywhere you want to go. GPS works perfectly here, and locals are famously friendly if you need directions.
Distances from 685 N Barfield:
Tigertail Beach: 3 miles (7 minutes)
Residents' Beach: 2 miles (5 minutes)
Old Marco Village (restaurants/shops): 1.5 miles (4 minutes)
Publix Supermarket: 2 miles (5 minutes)
Marco Island Marina: 2.5 miles (6 minutes)
Downtown Naples: 18 miles (25 minutes)

Beach Access
While this home isn't directly on the beach, you're positioned perfectly for easy access to Marco's best beaches. Tigertail Beach is ideal for shelling and nature walks. For the classic Marco experience, South Marco Beach provides that iconic white sand and Gulf sunset view.
Bike-Friendly
Marco Island is flat and bike-friendly with dedicated paths along many routes. Six adult bikes with helmets are included with your stay, so you can ride around the neighborhood or to nearby beaches.
Water Transportation
While not necessary for this property, Marco Island offers boat rentals, water taxis, and charter services if you want to explore the Ten Thousand Islands, go fishing, or take a sunset cruise. The Marco Island Marina is your hub for all water-based activities.
