This was our first time to Marco Island and to the Gulf Coast, as we usually go to the Florida Keys and it did not disappoint. We are a family of 4 with 2 young adults (19 & 22) and we all enjoyed the place!
The views from every room of the pool and beach were nice. So relaxing and peaceful. It was nice to be right there on the beach. Yes it was a walk, but it was a nice walk. It was a little less than 1/2 mile of beautiful views and lots of shells. The place was stocked with a beach wagon, umbrella, 4 chairs, towels and a boogie board! The kitchen was also stocked with dishes, pots and pans, a blender, a toaster, coffee maker, tea pot and more - really everything you need to cook with. A few spices were also in the cabinets.
The home is nicely decorated and super comfortable.
As for the building - the hallway could use some updating.
Washer and dryer are right next to the elevator so nice and close.
The gym was good - could get crowded later in morning - they are updating the gym on 1/25! We all used the gym daily and was able to continue our workout routines away.
Tigertale Beach is amazing if you a. shell collector! No need to go to Sanibel this has it all! I walked the beach for almost 4 hours - left 1.5 hours before low tide and found all kinds of sand dollars and shells.
We had bikes delivered for 4 days from Island Bike Shop which was perfect. A great way to see Marco Island!
Now for some cons- there are a lot of rules and things to read when you pick up your keys. This would have been much easier if they sent all this ahead of time in an email to read, as our flight was late so to read all that around 11pm was a bit much after a full day of travel. Just a heads up you need to pick up keys at the office which is about 2 miles from the place. Really would be helpful in an email prior to arrival and to be concise. We did not have time obviously to read it all in the 2 mile ride so checking in through gate was not really smooth.
One odd thing was there were no trash bags! We stay in a lot of VRBOs and have never had to buy trash bags. They give you 1 starter roll of paper towels and toilet paper. Not an issue, but just beware as Publix had 0 paper towels or toilet paper all week. Winn Dixie did - thank goodness!
We loved our stay and definitely. would stay here again!!!
