About this property

A VIEW OF THE GULF WITH A ROOM. 5 star reviews. 3 beds, sleeps 4. Top Floor

Welcome guests!

**** special discounted rate for Sept. 22-30. Pool will be closed but there will be beach access.

The Apollo is one of the nicest buildings on Marco Island. It is a well-kept building with a friendly atmosphere. Security is given high priority and there is a rolling program of maintenance and a manager's office on site which keeps standards up. With no road between the building and the beach, the only thing keeping you from sinking your toes in the white sand is a visit to the privately owned restaurant and bar located in the complex.
Your stay at the Apollo includes air conditioning and access to elevators, laundry facilities, a swimming pool and hot tub, tennis courts, and covered parking and a TOP FLOOR view. The beach is fairly firm for walking, consisting of tiny fragments of shell. Shell collecting and beach walking are popular pastimes among guests at the Apollo.

Marco Beach is a place to fall in love with. From your balcony, you look out on to a fabulous three and a half mile beach with access via a short boardwalk over protected seagrass. If you choose to stay within the comforts of your unit, you can sit on the included chairs and table and still see the beach with pelicans and seabirds flying above, dolphins hanging around in the Gulf of America and in season turtles that come ashore in the moonlight to lay their eggs. A spectacular sunset over the water can be seen every night from your west facing balcony.

Added note:

Peak season requires a 7 night, Saturday to Saturday stay, in most cases. Off season, we prefer a 4 day minimum but can review case by case.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

You can’t beat view. The room was exactly as expected and could stand an update - but it was cute and clean. The Apollo complex is great.

Great stay

Great property overall, very clean, and the condo had everything we needed. It's a bonus having a bar/restaurant in the complex, and the food and service were great. We plan on coming back, and the owners made the whole process super easy.

Great building right on the beach!

We have stayed at the Apollo 3 times now and have enjoyed it every time. It's right on the beach, so convenient! The condos are nice and have everything you need to enjoy your stay. I highly recommend this building if you are looking to enjoy the beach at Marco Island.

Beautiful location on the beach of Marco Island. Top floor condo has a wonderful ocean view. Condo is right size for a couple. Property security is good. Gorgeous beach right outside the condo. So much to do in the area without the congestion of some of the other resort areas.

Beach Paradise

I needed to get away from the world and this very nice condo on the beach was the perfect retreat! I would highly recommend this condo for one or two people who need an escape. No car needed as there is a great restaurant on ground floor. Comfy bed! Wonderful deck with view of the gulf. Loved this place and you will too!!

About the host

Hosted by Owners & Property Managers, Dave & Angela Barth

Host profile image
My wife and I first found and fell in love with Marco Island while driving around Florida in 1993. Back then, all we could do was dream we might get back there someday. In April of 2014 we stayed in the Apollo for our 25th anniversary trip. Well, we still loved it and in December we returned and bought a little piece of paradise... Unit 1003 in The Apollo. I am a retired fire fighter and my wife is a recently retired teacher in New Jersey. We have 2 children, 25 yo Jake and 23 yo Rachel. In a few short years the kids will be off on their own and we will be retired in Marco Island, until then we are fortunate enough to be able to share Marco Island with our family and friends and our friends we don't know yet. 'You can't make old friends.'

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. The Apollo offers everything the vacationing couple or small family could want. Everything in the complex is conveniently located. Short walk to the beach, pool, hot tub, fitness center, tennis, laundry and on-site bar/restaurant. Pride in ownership resounds throughout the building.
Located in the desirable South Marco area, access to restaurants and other conveniences is easy. We are only a phone call away to make sure your vacation a 5 star stay!

What makes this property unique

The Sunset Grille is on the first floor for snacks, dinner or drinks. Apollo is one of the few beach front buildings with weekly rentals available on Marco Island.
