Alluring condo w/ 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.

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.

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.

Beautiful week on Marco Island

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed on Marco Island before and prefer the south end of the island. The south end is not as congested with traffic and has two access paths to the beach. Even though the south end isn’t as congested it is easily walkable to shops and restaurants.The condominium property is very clean and well taken care of. The pool was warm and had plenty of chairs for seating and lounging. The tennis court has been lined for pickle ball which we were happy with and played daily. Unfortunately, the property didn’t have an outdoor gas grill to use but did have a charcoal grill if you wanted to go through the trouble. The condo itself could use some updating. There is carpet in the master bedroom which was stained and dirty. However the bathrooms and kitchen felt very clean. The condo was supplied nicely with coolers, beach towels, beach chairs and other necessities for the week. Overall we would definitely rent the condo again due to its proximity to beach access, location on the island and amenities. It was a great week!

Great Place to Stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Essex was a nice place to bring our grand daughters to. The beach is only a short walk for them along with the Marco Walk and stores for them to shop and eat. Property is well maintained and clean upon arrival it could use a few more dishes service for 8 is not quite enough. Plenty of nice linens. The beach cart is convenient and used every day but, the umbrella needs replacing. Hopeful to utilize this space in the near future.

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.
