This is a great condo which was a great option for spending our vacation in Marco Island.
Although is situated in an older building, the condo is upgraded and well maintained by the owners. The Apollo Condominium is excellent at maintaining the building and keeping everything in a great functioning state. They react quick to every deficiency or observation made by owners or their guests.
The Sunset Grill restaurant situated in the same building is a pro but it has also a negative impact on the property. The pro's are obvious: good restaurant, great food - all right there, in close proximity of the property. The negatives: the exhaust of the restaurant which is next to the condo's huge balcony and the (dampened) noise from the restaurant.
One other negative is the close proximity of the garbage containers, which in the morning attract noisy crows.
We did not use the balcony because (1) we preferred spending our time either on the beach or at the pool and (2) because of the hot weather.
The condo is well equipped with everything you need on the beach: chairs, umbrellas, beach toys, kids skimboads and beach towels. In summary: everything you need. Is also well equipped with everything needed in the kitchen or for having a nice meal inside, washer and dryer, TVs in every bedroom and living room, etc.. You feel like home.
The one downside: the bedsheets sis not seem to have been changed before our arrival: found sand on the sheets in the master and some stains on the sheets on other two bedrooms. We had to wash the sheets upon arrival.
The property is within walking distance to many restaurants and shops, and within minutes of driving to grocery shops (Publix or Win-Dixie), breakfast restaurants, ice-cream stores or dining restaurants.
The property management was awesome at providing any details we needed clarified. Although we intended to meet the property manager, we could not because of our late arrival time. However, Elizabeth was awesome at staying in contact with us and providing all details which allowed us to check-in late in the day and have access to this great property.
Certainly we will consider returning.
