Perfect Escape from Winter

We enjoyed our time on Marco Island and this property had everything we could have asked for. Steps from the beach and close to good restaurants, we loved the time we spent here. The HEATED pool was probably our favorite part of the vacation. It was warm and inviting, even when the air temperature was a little chilly in early March. When the winter blues get us down, we hope to return and enjoy this beautiful condo again. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise.
