Great Condo and Location!

A great condo for our long weekend on Marco. Perfect location and great alternative to the expensive JW or other beachfront properties. Easy walk to the beach and restaurants. Condo had everything for the beach, coolers, chairs, umbrella, etc… nice little pool too! Easy parking and check in. Super clean! Will definitely look to stay again.

Excellent alternative to JW

Stayed here when attending a conference at the JW Marriott and it was the perfect location. Could not have been easier to get to and from the JW. It’s a fraction of the cost and you get a private more spacious accommodation than a hotel room. Would certainly return

Great location and condo was well equipped

Booked here for location - it is so easy to walk to beach from here and unit was well stocked with all essentials. A few minor housekeeping/maintenance issues and really rough around the edges communication from host is the reason for 4 stars, but location can’t be beat.

Weekend visit

Overall you can’t beat the location and value for this place. It is directly across the street from an incredible beach. The unit is clean and although on a main street, it is quiet.Towels and linens were plentiful, and there were beach chairs and a cooler. Only minor point was there were no Kuerig pods or ground coffee for Keurig machine and drip coffee machine. It would be nice to have these on hand for people that arrive late (like us) to be able to make a cup of coffee the next morning. All in all this is a great choice!

This property truly is in the perfect location if you’re not staying on the beach. The walk to the beach was easy. The condo itself had everything you could possibly need and was very comfortable.
