This is not our first visit to the Somerset but our first in this condo. It was immaculate, updated, and conveniently located. The photos online were exactly as the unit presented itself when we arrived. No surprises at all. Some things we loved about this unit: the convenient first floor walk out (so we could walk right off our balcony to hit the pool), the furniture on the balcony (nice and comfy), the automatic sliding door window shades), the décor and modernness of the appliances and furniture, the exceptionally comfortable mattresses (slept better on them than ours at home!), and the responsiveness of our property manager, Donna. We always love the covered parking, the beautiful beach access, and the well-kept pool areas here.
The only issue we had was with that the beach items (carts, umbrellas, chairs) were in a shared room. I don’t know how many other condos were using this shared room, but when we arrived, there were no umbrellas (well, there was one or two and some parts and pieces, but none of the stands matched the umbrellas and were not able to be used). I think some families take more than their reasonable “share” of supplies, so we had to get up extra early each day to claim our beach supplies before they were all taken. There were plenty of supplies, so as long as we got there early enough, we could access what we needed. There also weren’t any sand buckets for small children to make castles, etc., but we were blessed with another family giving us theirs when they left. We, in turn, left them in the shared space for future families to use. This is just something minor, but compared to other units we have stayed in who have had designated beach supplies for one specific condo unit, it was something for future guests to be aware of.
We’d absolutely stay here again. It was a wonderful, relaxing experience. We’ve been coming to Marco Island for over 20 years, and we know we’ll be back for 20+ more!
