Book this unit plain and simple. Barbara is easy to work with from start to finish. Checking was simple and check out did not have a million strings attached to departing. We have stayed in the Appollo for 7 summers in a row and Barbara unit is top notch. It comes with everything anyone would need to stay. She literally has thought of everything. The Condo is clean and well decorated not over done. Less is more. Plenty of towels and kitchen ware. Marco island is incredible and the balcony views are fantastic easy walk down to the beach. She has everything you need for your beach day. Towels noodles chairs umbrellas and a beach buggy to cart the things down. This is a fantastic unit that is well maintained and certainly will do our best to book here again in the future

The condo was as advertised. Check-in directions were very thorough and clear. The view from the condo was great. The bed was very comfortable. The umbrellas, coolers and beach chairs were great to have since we flew for our vacation. I would not hesitate renting this unit again. It was perfect for our 3-night stay. Sunsets from the balcony were wonderful.

The amenities in the condo were fantastic. They were very comfortable, and there were items to help us prepare meals. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful. We had access to all the beach chairs, towels, and umbrellas, and they were conveniently located with a cool beach cart that could be transformed into a table at the beach. The sunsets were absolutely gorgeous! We had such a great time that we’ve already booked our stay for next year.

Nice location with great views of the sunset right from balcony. Just steps down to the beach and pool. Restaurants are close by, and kitchen that works for limited cooking. I was surprised by a $45 fee for parking, but otherwise good. Would definitely recommend for couples or a small family.

What makes this property unique

Fell in love with Marco Island on our first visit with my two sons and my husband.Views from the condo are breathtaking whether it is during the day looking at the dolphins and fish jumping out of the water or the sunsets in the evening right from the lanai.
