Whenever we book a VRBO property, I always read the reviews very thoroughly, and I always appreciate when people leave thorough reviews. We are a family of five (my husband, me, and our three kids – ages 7, 5, 2.5), and we loved staying at this property! We have been on a lot of Florida vacations- to 30A, Fort Lauderdale, Sanibel Island, Anna Maria Island, and now Marco Island. We have to say that of the above, Marco Island is now our favorite. The views from this 15th-floor unit cannot be beat. Every night at 7:30, we would sit on the porch with our kids and watch the unbelievable sunsets. This unit worked really well for our family. Our two older kids shared the twin bedroom, and our toddler slept on an air mattress at the foot of our bed. You can’t beat being right on the beach. We loved the fact that there was a private locker filled with a beach wagon, noodles, beach chairs, and beach toys. The unit also came with several beach towels. All of this is so appreciated, because traveling with any of those is so difficult because they take up so much space in luggage. The heated pool was also a huge hit with our kids. It was clean, and we loved splitting our days going between the beach and the pool. The kitchen was well-stocked with cooking utensils. I reached out to the property manager ahead of time and found out that the coffee maker is a regular drip pot (I was planning on stopping at the grocery store before going to the unit, and needed to know if I should get ground coffee vs. Keurig pods). We found out on the last day that the building next-door, the Apollo, has a grill on the first floor where you can order food and/or drinks to either dine in or take out to the beach. We were unable to eat there, but some friends we made on the trip said it was great having it next door to our building.
We had hoped to book this unit again for next year spring break, but it’s already booked the week that we would need it. We booked another unit in the same building because we enjoyed it so much.
