Spectacular views! Amazing sunsets and views of the entire island. Great fishing on the piers and beach. Condo was well equipped. Beds are super comfy as well. We truly enjoyed our stay and have already booked for next year.
Great views from large balcony……….quiet part of the island where one can view dolphins and pelicans….. extremely comfortable bedding in both bedrooms….host is quick to answer any questions.

GREAT VACATION RENTAL
OUR CONDO WAS BEAUTIFULLY FURNISHED AND HAD A WONDERFUL VIEW FROM THE HUGE BALCONY OVERLOOKING CAXAMBAS PASS AND THE GULF OF MEXICO. OUR LANDLORD WAS MOST RESPONSIVE TO ALL OUR NEEDS AND WAS VERY EASY TO WORK WITH. THE CONDO WAS WELL EQUIPPED FOR EVERY RECREATIONAL NEED AND HAD GREAT ACCESS TO POOLS, FISHING DOCKS, BEACHES.

Go Bucks!
What a great place to go on vacation. Marco Island is beautiful. Have stayed at this condo several times and plan on going again. Go with your family or just go with some friends. You won't regret it. The spacious condo is tastefully decorated with many modern features. Have a cup of coffee in the morning on the balcony and watch some dolphins swim by. In the evening enjoy a drink and watch the sunset in the distance. Step outside and walk along the dock and enjoy the best fishing on the island. Could not believe the fishing here. It's that good. Several swimming pools to choose from and a couple of workout rooms and a nice recreation area with a pool table and a ping pong table. Enjoy the private beach area the complex provides or take a short walk to one of the public beaches. It is impossible to get bored here. If you are looking for a place to stay on the water, this is it. Nothing but good times and good memories. Looking forward to going back again.

Fishing Buddies Week at Marco Island
We stayed at Ships Landing late September 2011 this condo had every immenity one could ask for! The fishing dock had great access to the gulf with a prime spot to fish directly off the dock. Restaurants were very convenient. Beaches were a short walk from the condo. Late September is a perfect time in this area with not a lot of tourists and the weather was perfect!
About the host
Hosted by Romey Schwieterman
I've been traveling to Marco Island since I was ten years old and lived on the island during my summer and winter breakers from college while attending 'The Ohio State University'! I have always loved Marco and my parents lived on the island for over thirty years. Marco is my families favorite vacation destination and we are sure it will become yours as well, if it isn't already
Why they chose this property
The fishing and views are the best on the island. Incredible wildlife activity, along with three pools, three spas, a private beach, two workout rooms, tennis courts and shuffleboard. There's plenty to keep you busy without leaving the property!
What makes this property unique
We love the gulf views and relaxing on the balcony, just watching the dolphins, manatees and wildlife. The fishing on property is by far the best on the island.
