The unit waswell equipped, comfortable and as promised a great time. the weather held out to be just beautiful , and all the eateries were all good. The island was just the right size to explore . This was the first visit for us to Marco Island , as we vacationed in the Clearwater/ Hudson Florida region for many years, this address just is more enjoyable and has the feel of real Florida.. You will like this condo.....

Entry in guest book: Wanted you to know we had a great time on Marco and enjoyed staying in your condominium while there. The condominium was bright, clean and nicely decorated. We do appreciate the rate you gave us also. The weather was perfect, 80 or 81 degrees high and cool at night... always with a breeze.

Unsolicited E-mail sent to owner after vacation. We just wanted to let you know how perfect our week in your lovely condo was! The weather cooperated beautifully although there was the one very windy blustery afternoon and evening but that was at the end of the week and we actually enjoyed the change immensely. The sound of the surf and palm leaves were very enjoyable. I am going to see if I can find a CD along that line to fall asleep with. (Then refers to problem with new shower screen which owner is addressing and also some personal help from owner with departure arrangements.) Your condo was so well appointed that we felt special in every way. Our every need was taken care of. Your notes were appreciated as everything was well labeled and explained. You are such a delight. We look forward to another trip in the future.

A Honeymoon present

Guest: Cathy G.
Date of Stay: 06/18/11 Review Submitted: 11/25/11

My husband and I surprised our son and his new wife with a honeymoon trip. Trying to stay within budget and finding that right beautiful place online, this was it. When they arrived, they were in ah of their condo. They said, the place was as beautiful as we saw it on the internet. They spent every evening watching a beautiful sunset on their large private patio. This place is a gem. Not only are you right on the beach, but all the accomodations were perfect, especially having the grill in the same building. My son, Ronnie and his wife, Amanda, are hoping to go back for their first year anniversary. Thank you Apollo for taking great care of our angels. They have beautiful memories of your beautiful place.

Honeymoon dreams

Date of Stay: 06/12/11 Review Submitted: 06/21/11

My husband and I just returned from our honeymoon at Apollo 209 and it was the best week of both of our lives. First of all, Marco Island is the most beautiful place I have ever been in my life. Second, this condo is wonderful, cozy and the view is impeccably amazing. This condo was better than we could've imagined. Dealing with Mrs. Greggains was a wonderful experience. If anyone is having any hesitation about renting this unit, stop hesitating and book now. You will not be sorry. We look forward to staying here next year for our first anniversary.

Got Engaged at Sunset...

Guest: Jennifer from Pittsburgh
Date of Stay: 04/09/11 Review Submitted: 02/10/12

Review entered in guest book: Had an absolutely wonderful time. Perfect weather and the most amazing sunsets. In fact, got engaged at sunset on our second night of the trip. I would recommend Cocomos and DaVinci's for dinner. Snook Inn had great music... Our neighbors were very friendly. We will always remember this trip.

We loved our first visit to Marco and this Condo. Both it and the Apollo are very clean and well maintained. We loved the perfect view, sunsets, cooking for ourselves, easy access to ocean, and lovely walks on the beach. Comfortable for two. Lots of beach supplies, deck dining, and lounges...couldn't have asked for more. Excellent value. Thanks for the internet and IPod docking station. We had nice dinner at Quinn's...sunset and all. Yum!

Bryan spontaneously sent this e-mail on returning to 209 after a year: "We checked in yesterday. This is last night's senset from your deck. 209 looks "spic and span" as we Yanks used to say. Looks freshly painted. New appliances? Two new prints in the bedroom? New floor in bedroom. New screens. Very nice. Looking forward to our week. The highs are in the 70's."

We have stayed in Apollo 209 now eight times and we are already booked for 2011, what better review could anyone make. Apollo 209 is not large or luxurious but it has everything two people could need for a relaxing beach holiday. Marco Island is ideal for a very quiet easy realxing holiday with an abundance of restaurants, fishing and a superb huge beach.

E-mail sent to owner following stay in 209 "Enjoyed our stay in Marco at your condo. ..It was a busy week for us since we took in Miami, Ft Lauderdale, Everglades etc. We enjoyed the beach and pool and also appreciated the extras you provided such as beach chairs and umbrella. We tried our best to leave everything in perfect order as you had done for us. We hope to come back next year and maybe more than once...you are a very gracious host."

The location was perfect and the condo is so well organised well furnished and very clean, it exceeded our expectations. Add to this,very hot long sunny days and we couldn't fail to have a great holiday.

VRBO renter who stayed for 4 weeks The apartment and complex were extremely well organised and clean, with attentive but not intrusive management. Prudential Management were also very helpful and professional. We both enjoyed the balcony to the apartment, taking breakfast and lunch outside most days. The provision of "Ethernet" access to the Internet was a real benefit. Limiting occupancy to two people is without doubt correct. If it is a beach holiday you seek then the location, metres from the Gulf of Mexico, is ideal. there are also supermarkets and numerous dining options within a relatively short distance...My wife and I are both of the opinion that the apartment offered tremendous value for money for the 4 weeks we stayed there and we would be pleased to recommend it to all our friends and family. (This renter recommended some updating in the kitchen area which the owners are carrying out.)

Second time at Apollo; first time in 209. Love this unit. Impressed by all the organisation and amenities provided by owner, such as broadband, supplies, loungers with cushions, beach towels, chairs and umbrellas, tennis rackets and balls. Even a fishing pole! Very clean and comfortable! "
