🛥️ 👀 Boat Watchers Paradise ☀️ w\ a Side of Dolphins🐬

Newly renovated 1 bed 1 bath 800+ sq feet condo + huge queen size and mega comfy sleeper sofa located inside the gated community Riverside Club. This condo boasts one of Marcos best views. If you enjoy watching boats and yachts of all sizes with the regular bonus of dolphins frolicking about you’ll love this unit, (binoculars provided for close ups.) Many condos on Marco Island squeeze 2 bed 2 bath in the same sq footage. This layout provides you with a very comfortable and open living space so you will not feel cramped. We also provide a workspace for those who need to stay connected, high speed wifi, 2 monitors, comfortable office chair and a desk that can be raised or lowered with the push of a button. If you prefer raise it up to make it a standing desk. The work station has been repositioned near the sliding doors so you can enjoy the view while you work. I’d challenge you to find a better view from a work station 🧑‍💻🐬🛥🌴🌊☀️. The master has a king size bed with a brand new and very comfortable mattress. Bosch washer dryer combo located in one of the 2 bedroom closets.

You’ll also no doubt enjoy how wonderfully walkable this unit is. Walk to shops, bars, restaurants and rental locations.

Couple more hops and a skip ( .5 miles ~)
Rose Marina where you’ll find some great boat charters like

- Marco Island Princess
- Black Pearl Pirate Ship - awesome for kids during the day or take the fun sunset cruise in the evening.
- Dolphin Tiki Bar & Grill - great little tiki bar overlooking the water.

Walk a little further but still no more than 1 mile and it’s just too much to list. Just a 5 minute drive to public beach parking. Two nice beach chairs provided, plenty of beach towels, sand toys and a beach cart.

Good communication by the host. Easy check-in. Great view of the bay. Good location in terms of being directly on the Bay and close to several restaurants in old marco. The only drawback of location is you need to drive to the beach and there’s limited beach parking. We ended up having to park at a private lot which cost more than the public lots. The unit itself has been fully updated and is in good condition. It’s a plus that there’s a washer dryer in the unit. However, the dryer takes a long time to dry towels and doesn’t dry them fully. There was one beach chair, could use a second one. Overall, a very nice stay.

This condo was situated perfectly! The view was outstanding, we spent time on the balcony watching the pool, the bay, and the marina. We saw dolphins! We liked the comfy rocking chairs and outdoor couch (better than had it been table with chairs). It is on second floor with a close elevator and stairs were not far away either. The property is maintained beautifully. We had so many things within easy walking distance too. Our favorites included the Dolphin Tiki and Snook Inn but there were so many others as well. Walking felt very safe. The pool was lovely and we enjoyed the temperature. It was nice that you could fish off the dock but you do have to go to the a tax collector behind the Publix to get a temporary license to fish. The Pelican Marina was so convenient for ice, drinks (it has a cute little bar) and bait. The staff was super nice as was the staff at the condo. We cooked breakfast at the condo and enjoyed brewed coffee although there was also a pod machine if that’s your thing. The furniture was very comfortable and the TV was good as well. Oh, and the shower was heavenly too. Loved our time spent here.

Dishwasher didn’t work from the time we arrived made the place smell like fish . Had to have the handyman out 2 times and he did our dishes for us at one point which I thought was thoughtful but gross so had to hand wash everything on top of hand washing our dishes for the week .The place had potential . Also not the cleanest . No Reduction in the rental offered at all which would have stopped me from posting a bad review altogether. We viewed a rental 2 floors up whia

Does Not Disappoint

The condo is beautiful, clean and has everything needed for a wonderful holiday. The lanai is a wonderful place to watch the sunrise and daily boat traffic. The pool is a great place to sunbath and relax. There is much to do and see while in Marco. Owners recommendations were spot on. We are already planning our next getaway.

This property was above and beyond our expectations. they provided us with everything that we needed. clean and very comfortable bed. the luxury leather sofa bed is very comfy. my kids enjoy the pools, fishing at the dock is easy since the bait shop is at the front of the apt. we rent a boat which is next door only. so everything is so easy peasy.. i can see both my kids swimming from the kitchen/porch. overall im very very satisfied.. i will be back for sure.

Amazing view

What a surprise this property was! The view from the back of the unit is so beautiful! We were able to sit outside and eat dinner with the screened in porch. The pool was always clean and there are some cute little restaurants within walking distance. Be aware that you need the fab to get in and out of the gate if you go for a walk and that the rental office is only open from 9-5 in the event you need them for anything. The beaches are private, so if you want to go to the beach there is only a small area to do so.
