  We spent a month at this property and our only complaint is how quickly the time passed. The location is exactly as described; right on the beach and within walking distance to a number of restaurants, shops, etc. Marco Island is a walker's paradise with 6+/- miles of beach and extra-wide sidewalks on Collier Boulevard. The unit is fully equipped with lots of kitchen gadgets, plenty of bedding and towels and even beach chairs and an umbrella. Although there is a dining table inside, we ate every meal on the Lanai as we just could not get enough of the view. Communication with the owner was great and the only issue that did arise (a minor electrical problem) was looked after in an efficient manner. Unlike some condominium buildings, the owners we met at Sandcastle II were friendly and made us feel welcome. The administrative and maintenance staff were also pleasant and always greeted you with a smile. We plan on returning next year and I would gladly recommend this property to a friend or relative. We had great meals at both Verdi's and Fin Bistro (long walk or short drive), with the latter claiming to serve seafood no more than 36-hours out of the water - the scallops were incredible. One of our most enjoyable days was when we rented a boat from the marina (I forget the name) on Bald Eagle Drive and motored up to Naples on the inland waterway, saw all sorts of interesting sites and had lunch in 'Tin City' - great experience. If you do decide to stay on Marco Island, don't miss the outdoor market that is held on Elkcam Circle every Wednesday morning - the fresh fruit and vegtables are amazing.

  Owner response: Thank you for the glowing review! As an owner, we could not have asked for better renters either. You were very responsive and helpful as well. We are very glad to hear the unit matched up to your expectations based on the listing, and exceeded your expectations once you arrived. As owners, we try to imagine ourselves as the renter and think about what we would like to have available to us in a rental unit, and then provide that for our renters. You're right when you say this area of Marco Island has so many amenities for shopping, dining, and outdoor activities. This is why we love it here too, and why we picked this area, along with how welcoming and friendly the people in Sandcastle II are. We are glad to have you returning next year, and hope you have enjoyed paying the lower, off-season rates.

  This unit has the most spectacular view!!! The glistening and perfect pool and of course, the breathtaking Gulf are close enough to touch and you hear the beautiful sounds every moment. This was the best place to experience the genuine beauty of Marco and feel the Island experience. We will most certainly return many times to this great place!!

The feel of the Island is really best felt when you are directly on the Gulf and have a great view. We hope that others will be able to enjoy this tranquility and beauty by staying with us.

  This condo is a beautifully furnished and decorated beach front property. I immediately felt at home and had every luxury at my fingertips. The condo was furnished and appointed beyond my expectations. The balcony was amazing with breathtaking views particularly at sunset. The beach was great and withing steps of the pool area which reminded me more of a resort than a condo association. The entire property was first class. The master bedroom & bathroom were enviable.....wish I had the bathroom in my home! Owners were very helpful and considerate. Will surely stay there again and hope to bring down some friends to stay as well!

  Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

  Owner response: We are so very glad you enjoyed your stay and the features of the condo. We agree with you that the building and the property seem more like a resort than a condo association - that's one of the many things we like so much about Sandcastle II. Thank you for the kind words - we try to be helpful and considerate with both our renters and anyone inquiring about the property. Thanks again and come back soon with your friends!
