About this property

🛥️ 👀 Boat Watchers Paradise ☀️ w\ a Side of Dolphins🐬

Newly renovated 1 bed 1 bath 800+ sq feet condo + huge queen size and mega comfy sleeper sofa located inside the gated community Riverside Club. This condo boasts one of Marcos best views. If you enjoy watching boats and yachts of all sizes with the regular bonus of dolphins frolicking about you’ll love this unit, (binoculars provided for close ups.) Many condos on Marco Island squeeze 2 bed 2 bath in the same sq footage. This layout provides you with a very comfortable and open living space so you will not feel cramped. We also provide a workspace for those who need to stay connected, high speed wifi, 2 monitors, comfortable office chair and a desk that can be raised or lowered with the push of a button. If you prefer raise it up to make it a standing desk. The work station has been repositioned near the sliding doors so you can enjoy the view while you work. I’d challenge you to find a better view from a work station 🧑‍💻🐬🛥🌴🌊☀️. The master has a king size bed with a brand new and very comfortable mattress. Bosch washer dryer combo located in one of the 2 bedroom closets.

You’ll also no doubt enjoy how wonderfully walkable this unit is. Walk to shops, bars, restaurants and rental locations.

Good communication by the host. Easy check-in. Great view of the bay. Good location in terms of being directly on the Bay and close to several restaurants in old marco. The only drawback of location is you need to drive to the beach and there’s limited beach parking. We ended up having to park at a private lot which cost more than the public lots. The unit itself has been fully updated and is in good condition. It’s a plus that there’s a washer dryer in the unit. However, the dryer takes a long time to dry towels and doesn’t dry them fully. There was one beach chair, could use a second one. Overall, a very nice stay.

This condo was situated perfectly! The view was outstanding, we spent time on the balcony watching the pool, the bay, and the marina. We saw dolphins! We liked the comfy rocking chairs and outdoor couch (better than had it been table with chairs). It is on second floor with a close elevator and stairs were not far away either. The property is maintained beautifully. We had so many things within easy walking distance too. Our favorites included the Dolphin Tiki and Snook Inn but there were so many others as well. Walking felt very safe. The pool was lovely and we enjoyed the temperature. It was nice that you could fish off the dock but you do have to go to the a tax collector behind the Publix to get a temporary license to fish. The Pelican Marina was so convenient for ice, drinks (it has a cute little bar) and bait. The staff was super nice as was the staff at the condo. We cooked breakfast at the condo and enjoyed brewed coffee although there was also a pod machine if that’s your thing. The furniture was very comfortable and the TV was good as well. Oh, and the shower was heavenly too. Loved our time spent here.

Dishwasher didn’t work from the time we arrived made the place smell like fish . Had to have the handyman out 2 times and he did our dishes for us at one point which I thought was thoughtful but gross so had to hand wash everything on top of hand washing our dishes for the week .The place had potential . Also not the cleanest . No Reduction in the rental offered at all which would have stopped me from posting a bad review altogether. We viewed a rental 2 floors up whia
