That Palm tree!!!

The condo is very nicely done & very clean. Well stocked with all linens. Loved the shower, wish we had water pressure like that at home. The bathroom like all the other bathrooms at Riverside that we’ve rented is small, but doable for a short time. The sofa bed left a lot to be desired, but then what sofa bed hasn’t, the king bed was delicious after a day in the fresh air. The kitchen like all the others we rented save for one, was a challenge to work in, there isn’t much counter space to begin then add the stove, coffee maker, toaster, blender, utensils & bric-a-brac… but again, it’s ok for a short time. And then there’s the 4 story tall palm tree right in front of the lanai, which is where we (&most everyone else) spends a lot of time; so When we reviewed the listing, we knew the tree was there but , we were hoping the picture had been taken from above the lanai level or has been recently planted and still growing, alas it was full grown & right there at my short stature(5’3”) level which blocked the view of most things beyond the pool, obviously not the owners fault & probably nothing they can do about it. This was our 6th time renting at Riverside, it was nice to FINALLY see the building painted & the grounds cleaned up, hopefully if we rent again, they’ll have the elevator in B building fixed.

Great Choice!

My husband and I had a great two weeks on Marco Island. It was our first visit and it didn't disappoint. We took advantage of all there was to do in the area up to, and including, Naples and Fort Meyers, and it was always nice to come back to a clean and well-appointed condo. It was enjoyable and relaxing to have the option to cook and eat breakfasts and sip coffee on the screened porch overlooking the pool and boat dock. We highly recommend.

Lovely Condo at Riverside Club

This condo has all the updates you would want and is beautifully appointed. Everything you would want/need in your kitchen. It was nice to have a few staples supplied such as salt/pepper and cooking oil in order to cook the occasional breakfasts. The updated bathroom and shower had plenty of room/storage. We love the area around Riverside Club and we walked to most dinners, including Esplanade and Speak Easy. Snook Inn and Smith House are easy walks. We enjoyed sitting on the lanai watching the boat traffic...very quiet and relaxing. Wendy and Robert were great hosts and replied to our questions in a very timely manner. We plan to stay again next year!

Marco Trip- Jan 2023

The condo is gorgeous with great views. Close to many great restaurants, shopping, urgent care/ER, churches etc. Fortunately the cool weather warmed up nicely early in the week, as well as the pool temperature. The complex was quiet, and everyone very friendly! Would love to stay here again if we have the opportunity!

Highly Recommend- excellent hosts and property

The hosts are excellent. Went above and beyond in so many ways and had many great tips on good spots to explore on Marco Island. The condo was immaculate with a well stocked kitchen, bathroom and everything we needed for the stay. Riverside Club has excellent amenities from pools to hot tubs -- plus very relaxing drinking wine each evening on the lanai overlooking the water. Also close to Everglades for air boat adventure. Warm, sunny weather even at the beginning of January.

Beautiful Condo

Everything in this condo is as pictured. The openness of the floor plan makes it feel bigger than it really is. The owners responded very quickly to any questions we had and were very pleasant to talk to. The laundry is same floor and just around the corner so take some quarters & laundry detergent if you decide you would do a few loads and not have to pack extra clothes. The bike rental in right next to the property if you decide you would like to bike, we booked ahead and had them for 5 days. The island is easy to navigate and fun to bike around.

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Filiatrault

We are a retired southwestern Ontario couple with 6 grown children that have been part time residents of Marco Island for over 30 years. We love the weather and atmosphere of this beautiful oasis and our family enjoys time on the island as much as possible. We own a home on the Island so are there frequently as well as we have extremely reliable staff to assist us with our rentals when we are not on Marco. I am happy to help research things or places you may want to visit while vacationing on Marco Island, just email me and I will do my best to answer any inquiries on local attractions, restaurants, bike rentals, beaches, shopping, etc. If you have any special requests, please ask and I will see if I am able to accommodate you .. we really want you to enjoy the Marco Island experience as much as we have for the past 30 years!

Why they chose this property

This gorgeous unit has just been totally renovated with top of the line finishes and appliances - very comfortable living quarters and you will find everything you need for an enjoyable stay on the island. The view from relaxing on the lanai of the boats and water is my favorite part of this property, not to mention the pools, spas, BBQ area and boat marina all right on the property, just steps away!

What makes this property unique

This unit is in walking distance to many local attractions - the famous "SNOOK INN", waterfront dining, Rose Marina, Island Bike Shop, unique shopping - you name it - its all just a nice stroll away from this unit. Extremely safe area!
