About this property

Marco Retreat I Direct Beach Access Across Street

San Marco Residences has the setup, but most importantly, the location you need for your next vacation! Located directly across from 1 of only 4 public beach access points, the complex offers all guests the direct beach access everyone desires. Take advantage of that beach access without having to pay those beachfront prices! On top of that access, the complex is located just a half block north of the newly finished J.W. Marriott!!!

Voted America's most desirable island destination, Marco Island is the largest of Florida's Ten Thousand Islands, located on the Gulf of Mexico in Southwest Florida. It has been described as Magical, Mystical and Alluring. The attraction is tropical sun-washed white beaches and a casual easy paced life style. Sunshine, frolicking dolphins, and all of the water and sun sports that go with the beaches are available for your pleasure.

Attention Renters - Throughout the summer 2024 the building will be going through an exterior painting project. It is expected to take roughly 3 months to complete barring any weather delays. Prep work for this project will begin right around April 22nd and work set to commence May 1st on the east side of the building. Thru time guests can expect work and workers present around the building and potential for noise while occupying a condo.

Cozy and comfortable

This property is very well located. It's directly across the street from public beach access. Apartment is comfortable. My 12 year old slept on pullout in living area. We were very comfortable and the apartment has everything we needed. We will definitely be doing a long weekend at this place again!

Beautiful property!

Marco Island and Harborview Resort was all that was promised! We had a great long weekend, enjoyed awesome restaurants, beaches and shops. Got lucky enough to pick up some Stone Crab on the first day of the season! We highly recommend Kirk’s Seafood to pick up some fresh catch!

Great location and very nice condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is great being right across from a beach access path. You're not "right on the beach", but it didn't dampen our experience. The pool is small, but we spent all of our time at the beach. The kitchen was large and updated allowing us to save big on meals. I would recommend highly and would repeat.

Good without personal touch

One giant frying pan, the stopper on the bathroom sink broke the smoke alarm went off and beeped for about 12 hours on the weekend. When we couldn’t get a hold of anybody. On the other hand, the place was clean directly across the street from the beach is perfectly suited to our needs in every other way.

Quick Marco getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental was exactly as pictured online and super clean! The location was great and very close to the beach. The only issue that we had was on our third night- the air conditioning unit was not working when we got home from dinner. The unit reached about 80 degrees after several hours of not working when it randomly started working again even though the unit was set to 69 degrees. Other than that brief issue, the stay was fabulous and we would definitely book it again!

Condo satisfactory

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit itself was fine and the location was good considering it is at a crosswalk for public beach access on the other side of the road. The building, however, is in bad shape. One of the outdoor walkways was being supported by temporary jacks all the way up to the 5th floor. Certainly not something people should be walking on with corroded support beams in process of being repaired or replaced. Check-in and Check-out were quick, simple, and easy.

FUN FOUR DAYS!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Close to a beautiful beach for Walking! SO many shells on the beach! We enjoyed cocktails and dinners at STILTS and CJ’s. It was good to have Tommy Bahama beach chairs in the closet to take to the beach. If it is required to bag garbage to take out, then more than one plastic garbage sack should be provided. The unit is a bit outdated. The bed needs more sleeping pillows. Deck screen doors are off track and hard to open/close. Deck area needs a deep cleaning. We appreciated the excellent self-operated laundry machines. (Bring your own laundry soap).
