Great weekend stay

Awesome location. Very easy access. Set up was awesome for 2 on a 3 day beach weekend. Beach supplies (towels, umbrella, chairs, and cart) were such a plus to go with the very well equipped and comfortable accomodations. Would stay again for sure.

Great Location and Owner

This condo is in a really good location and right across the street from the beach! The owner is a very good communicator as we had some issues with a blown electrical box while we stayed there ( not her fault) and she was very kind and made it right for us. I would highly recommend staying here.

Winter Getaway

Loved the location and easy access to the beach. We enjoyed exploring Marco Island and the Everglades from this comfortable and perfect home base. In January, the sunsets are visible right from the spot where the ocean peeks through and provides a beautiful show. The host, Lisa, is responsive and easy to communicate with. If we have the chance to travel back to this area again in the future, we will definitely check to see if this home is available. Highly recommend!

As Advertised!

A perfect condo for 2 (or 4) in the perfect location, across from the beach access, equidistant from dining and night life in either direction. Everything described in the listing is accurate. Lisa, the host, was amazing and quick to respond when someone was parking in our spot (which was the only issue we experienced during our stay). A well-kept place that we will surely try and book again next time we visit Marco Island. 5-Stars!

My husband and I had a great time relaxing at Lisa's condo, San Marco Residences property. The apartment was very clean, equipped with all amenities necessary to enjoy our stay, nicely decorated and very inviting. Check in was very easy. Designated free parking spot comes with the booking and is great for marco island. You can not beat the beach front location, beach is across the street from the condo, and having chairs, umbrella and towels available made it so simply. We enjoyed great restaurants nearby and beautiful sunset from the balcony. Lisa, the host was so helpful and kind and always available. 5 stars Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your condo and to relax in a such an amazing place. We will definitely came back.

Great stay at Marco Island Condo

Our Host, Lisa was very responsive with all of our questions. We arrived early and were able to check in a couple of hours ahead of time :) We found the condo spotless and everything that Lisa has sent to us was accurate and easy to find. The location is wonderful; across the street from the beach, many great restaurants close by. The area is very space and we spent a lot of time walking into town and in the neighborhood. The condo had everything we needed for a day at the beach including a cart, chairs, umbrella, cooler. The beach is wide with white sand and beautifully clean water and plenty of space to spread out. The pool was usually empty and a nice alternative. We also spent time on the balcony which was another space. We will definitely return and owners have multiple units which can be great with large families. Take advantage of this great condo! Five star all the way around!
