San Marco Residences #508

This is our 5th year to come to Marco. We have stayed in this location before, but never in this unit. I don’t feel the unit is maintained as needed and can not understand how it had such a high rating. The vertical blinds in the bed room has 3 of the louvers missing. We had to put a towel on the one end so no one could see in the bedroom. Not to mention the outside lights were shining in when trying to sleep. The glass patio doors have only sheers on them so anyone from the street or across the street are able to see right into your living area. When looking at the pictures on line, be aware some of the furniture pieces are different. The kitchen chairs are very stained and rather gross looking. The pool was uncomfortably warm. We have a pool with a heater at home so if I were to guess, the temperature was 90 or more. Not a healthy temperature.
On a different note....the location could not be better and the weather was perfect!

Wonderful location. Wonderful setting.
Unit could use some updating.
Stains on kitchen chair cushions and rug.
Pans very scratched and need upgrading.

This condo was at a great central location right across from the beach. I was impressed with how clean it was when we arrived because Ive stayed in other condos on Marco and this was by far the cleanest. The condo complex is quiet and well maintained.

Manager's Response

The place was pleasant and neat and conveniently located with the gulf visible across the street. The Harbor View folks were helpful even if we never met them in person.

Great!

This unit was very comfortable and extremely clean I have a hard time settling in rental units or hotels worried about cleanliness. This unit was very clean, well-equipped, great decor, and in a great location. The building is dated, yet there have been upgrades and it is well maintained.
We were able to get to the beach, walk to the JW Marriot Spa, walk to nearby places. Other beaches are private or further on the island. It was great to just walk across the street. I always felt very safe, too.
The only downside is during high season, the unit overlooks S. Collier, which is a busy road. Therefore, you need to get used to the sounds of traffic.
As mentioned, there is not a laundry inside of this unit, which would have been nice for wet towels. However, we made do. If you stay here, I suggest a beach wagon or backpack chairs to get you to the beach.
The property is small but maintained. We enjoyed pickleball and the pool. Despite the busy time of year, there was always room at the pool.
When booking, we had a couple hiccups because it was our first experience using Home Away. There is a rental company that you need to work with in addition to Home Away. The property manager/employees were helpful and made appropriate adjustments.
We would definitely stay in this unit again.

The condo was very clean. You can walk for everything you need, breakfast, shopping, the movies, etc. There are only sheers on the windows so there is no privacy and no way to keep out the sun setting in front of the building. Everything you need is supplied, even sand chairs. There was only the set of sheets on the bed although there are many in the closet, none fit the bed. You really just walk across the street to get onto the beach. We would sit beside JW Marriott, which is only a few steps away from San Marco Residences. We really struggled with only one TV in the unit. My husband and I do not watch the same TV at night. I definitely loved the pool and BBQ grill on the patio. Everyone really friendly, most are repeat renters from year to year. I would definitely recommend San Marco Residences. Harborview Rental office is on the first floor and were extremely helpful during my two week stay.

If you are looking for a great location with quick access to the beautiful beach on Marco Island, then this is a perfect place to stay. The condo is in excellent condition and renovated. It worked very well for my wife and I. We enjoyed the evening sunsets on the balcony. As mentioned, the beach access is across the street. You can walk there in just a few minutes. The rental agency (in the same building) was attentive and great to work with. We look forward to visiting again.

Nice condo! We planned to stay here for the view and easy access to the beach. We ended up not being in the condo much as family had rented a house on the canal with a pool and better view.

If you need a manicure/pedicure visit Foxy Nails in the stores at the bottom!

This condo is great for a couple who want to relax and enjoy the beach. Everything is as shown in the pictures. Comfy bed, good size bathroom, closets etc.
This property provides beach chairs, coolers, beach towels etc. The pool is clean, warm and the people we met were very friendly. The property was well maintained. Beach access is across the street.
Not to far from restaurants. We ate at Sunset Grille sports bar, Joey's Pizza and Ario(Marriot).
The only downside is no washer/dryer in the units. They are on each floor in a separate area and are coin operated but there is no change machine in area and managment has no change or petty cash either.
If you need to do laundry, bring quarters.
I would definitely rent here again.

The only two things I would improve on are:
the lighting was poor, we had a few light bulbs out and a mirror full length in the bathroom or bedroom would have been so helpful.

Very close to the beach and the condo had everything we needed. Very clean and updated. Overall fantastic!

Very nice and comfortable place. Great view of the sunset each night. Right across from the public beach access and gorgeous beach. Just beware there is not a washer/dryer in the unit as described on website.

Another great stay on Marco Island. We recommend Captain Jack's airboats

My wife and I had a very pleasant time during our vacations at San Marco Residences. The beach and restaurants were very close by. We really enjoy our stay. Just counting the days to go back next vacations time.

Manager's Response

Manager's Response

We love our San Marcos Condos! This is the first time in this particular unit, but our 4th time at this location. This unit had a much better view of the Gulf from it's balcony that our previous one. The location is perfect, as the complex is right across the street from the public access. We park our car in our assigned space and leave it, until we decide to go somewhere else for dinner that is not within walking distance. Away from the hustle and bustle of the more northern part of the island, but close enough to the Marriott to saunter over for a colorful drink at sunset. The management company for this unit could not be more friendlier, helpful and fun. This unit had all the beach necessities we could wish for, so leave your beach towels, coolers and umbrellas at home! Everything was clean and up-to-date... The only thing missing, I think, if I wanted to get really picky, is a French press for my organic coffee.. LOL. Thank you Harborview Rentals, Steve and your wonderful staff! You know we will be back! But, I'm afraid if I give too many stars, other people will discover our special spot!

Lovely condo with a great location. Beach across the street, and can walk to many restaurants and shops. Nice,large,clean,warm pool! Management very helpful.

Manager's Response

The rental was ideal for us, all kitchen utensils we needed, very clean and bed very comfy. Beach across the street! Only minor detail was bedroom window didn't open but we had beautiful breeze from the sliding glass doors. Just a wonderful vacation. Thanks, as always, Harborview!

Manager's Response

The stay here was a solid ten. Not only was the pool at a constant 86 degrees but the ocean view and the firm king size mattress made it difficult to leave. All new appliances made for an impressive stay.

Manager's Response

You could not ask for a better location. Not only did the condo building provide easy access to the beach, but we also had a great view of the sunset from our balcony.

Manager's Response

Very good location. In the middle of everything. Beach access directly across the street.
Updated unit. Everything you need is there.

We've been to Marco Island several times and stayed in either popular hotels or rented condo units near the ocean. This time we decided to rent a 1/1 unit across the street, but near beach access. This unit fit our goals and met our expectations perfectly. The price was very competitive and the unit was clean and well laid out. The appliances were fairly new and the kitchen and bath, well stocked. While nearby construction was taking place at the Marriott Resort, it didn't interfere with our plans or private time. Access to the beach was right across the street and the pool was clean and good size. The only disappointment was the vacuum didn't work properly (Not a big deal since other cleaning options were available). The staff was accessible and great to work with too!

Great location. Updated unit

Manager's Response

San Marco Residences are conveniently located to a beach access which was a time saver. The walkway the beautiful beach was shaded making carrying your beach stuff much easier.

Our unit was well appointed, updated and provided a perfect view of the Gulf of Mexico.

Enjoyed the pristine pool and took advantage of the shaded table and comfortable lounge chairs.

Highly recommend the San Marco Residences.

Marco Residence was in a great location and offered at a great price. The pool was great and the property was well maintained. I would definitely stay again!

Wonderful

Would definitely return again.

This was our first time renting a condo for our vacation (we usually stay in hotels). This was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The condo is beautiful (looks just like the pictures). We couldn't have asked for a better location. We will definitely be back and will definitely choose to stay in this condo again. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Very positive This was our 17 year staying at this property.

Beautiful and spacious condo, wonderful staff and a great location. A 2 minute walk to the beach. And centrally located to all of Marco Island. We will definitely be back!

ok
