A full kitchen is provided with an oven/stove and microwave, supporting longer stays and self-catering.
Property amenities & recreation
On-site features include an outdoor pool (noted as heated in the property description), plus a tennis court lined for pickleball. Guests also have access to an outdoor grill area (gas grill by the pool) and free parking (one numbered space per unit). An elevator serves the building, and washers are available on each floor via credit card or app operation.
Beach access & extras
Beach access is a core highlight: the property is across the street from the JW Marriott entrance to the beach, making it easy to go back and forth without driving. The condo is stocked with beach gear including Tommy Bahama beach chairs, an umbrella, towels, and a cooler—useful for full days on the sand and sunset viewing.
Location & what’s nearby
The condo is in Marco Island (southwest of Naples) with multiple bus stops close by, including Maple Ave (about 60 m away) and Marriott (about 515 m away). Dining and drinks within the immediate area include Kane Tiki Bar & Grill (~290 m), Tesoro (~437 m), Quinn’s at JW Marriott Marco Island (~424 m), plus DaVinci’s (~1034 m) and 2Shea’s Salty Dog (~1043 m). For air travel, Naples Airport is about 25.1 km away and Southwest Florida International Airport is about 67.3 km away.
Best for
This condo best suits couples and small groups who want walkable beach access without booking directly at the JW Marriott, since the unit is across the street from the same beach entrance and includes beach chairs, umbrella, towels, and a cooler. It also fits guests who like a resort-style routine—pool time, grilling, and pickleball/tennis—while keeping the flexibility of a full kitchen, free Wi‑Fi, and free assigned parking.
Travel tips
Plan around the parking rules: each unit has one numbered space, vehicles can’t exceed 21 feet, and RVs/campers/motor coaches/boat trailers aren’t allowed. The closest public transit is the Maple Ave bus stop (about 60 m away), with several other stops nearby along the Marriott area. If you need laundry, washers are on each floor and operate via credit card or an app rather than being in-unit.
