Alluring Condo | Pool, Tennis & Steps to Beach
What do you get when you mix serenity with close beach access? This 1,000 square foot, 2nd floor condo in the Essex! It sleeps five, with one king bed, two twins, a sleeper sofa and two bathrooms.
Everywhere you look, you’re surrounded by the tropics, making it feel like you’re living in your own luxurious oasis. Sliding glass doors brighten the living room with natural light. Wherever there’s a surface, there’s tropical décor, filling the living room with color, blending with the cozy furnishings and beach-themed artwork to create a feel of island-style harmony.
The summer kitchen overlooks the manicured gardens of the Essex and comes fully equipped with all the modern appliances and cookware you need to serve meals on the glass dining room table or kitchen counter. The appliances include a coffee maker and blender, because there’s no better way to start the day than morning coffee on the tree-shaded balcony, and there’s no better way to end it than sipping an ice-cold cocktail as the setting sun lights up the sky.
The bedrooms come with plenty of drawer and closet space and windows that look out on the garden, so you’ll fall asleep to massaging tropical breezes and the sound of rustling palm trees.
The unit comes with comfort-enhancing amenities, including air conditioning and heating, free wi-fi, cable, linens, towels and a washer and dryer. It also gives you beach essentials like beach towels, beach chairs, cooler and umbrella for that short walk across the street to the silken sands and turquoise waters of South Beach, where the activities never end. Stroll along the shore collecting shells. Snorkel in the warm shallow water or just sit back and watch dolphins playing in the surf.
You’re also just a short walk from the movie theatres and restaurants of Marco Walk Plaza, and from Marco Golf and Garden, a miniature golf course in the midst of an award-winning garden.
You can have the time of your life without leaving the grounds of the Essex. Take a swim in the heated pool then relax on one of the sun loungers. Play some tennis or stroll along paths that wind through tree-lined gardens.
Come experience the tranquil tropics at the Essex.
You can also walk to Marco Golf and Garden, a miniature golf course in the midst of an award-winning garden, and Marco Walk Plaza, where you’ll find movie theaters, fine dining and much more. Another short walk takes you to Caxambas Boat Park.
Serenity, beaches, and all the amenities you could ever want to explore Marco Island. That’s what you get here at the Eagle Cay.

Great week in Marco! The location was quiet and a short walk to many really good restaurants, shopping and the beach. The residents and guests at the property were very nice and welcoming. We will be back.

i always stay at properties with outdoor grills. this property has a grille, but it was so poorly maintained that my wife refused to eat anything that was cooked on it. the property managers made a big issue about filling out a registration form as soon as we arrived, but there were no blank forms available, and the box where they were to be deposited was unlocked.

Spring break
Good location. 5 min walk to the public access. Standard 2/2 condo. Nice porch. Carpet desperately needs replaced. Refrigerator was replaced on our trip. Not too inconvenient. Staff was communicating well w us. It was expensive for what we got by our standards but it was spring break 2021 so expected.

Winter get away
We have been coming to Marco for 10+ years so we are very familiar with the island. This condo had a great location right on the main road. The walk to the beach was short and some eating options and entertainment are a short walk. As always, the weather was perfect. We have never had a bad weather week at Marco. Highly recommend the Essex.
