*** Major Advantages of Staying at Sand Star Villas ***
Many Marco Island rental units are in large, crowded, multi-level condominium developments where units are stacked on top of one another and you can hear your neighbors on all sides. At Sand Star Villas, there are only approximate 18-20 units arranged in two townhouse rows; no neighbors above or below you. The community is exceptionally quiet and is virtually never fully occupied, even during high season.
Many condominium developments on the island require you to park in a parking garage and walk a very long way, upstairs, by elevator and around past other units to reach your unit. At Sand Star Villas, you park directly in front of the unit and within 8-10 steps are comfortably inside the unit.
LOCATION:
-- 5 Minute Drive to what Conde Naste esteemed as “One of America’s Most Beautiful Beaches”
-- 5 minute walk to the waterfront Esplanade, where you can enjoy outdoor waterfront dining along the harbor, ice cream + shopping
-- 10 minute Walk to our weekly Marco Island Farmers Market at Veterans Memorial Park (Wednesdays in season)
-- 2 minute drive to a major grocery store as well as convenience store
-- 0.5 hour drive to the Everglades + Collier Seminole State Park
-- 2.5 hours to Palm Beach
-- 2 hours to Miami / Ft. Lauderdale
During Your Stay, I (the owner) will be 5 minutes down the road and available for any needs. I’ve owned and lived on Marco Island for 10 years and believe our island is an ideal getaway.

Marco Island vacation!
My wife and I loved our Marco stay!! The condo is in excellent shape and nicely furnished! It had all of the amenities for the beach, pool and dining in. Matt was very attentive to our questions and easy to work with. Highly recommend this condo and hope to stay again!

Owner response
Thank you so much for your stay! Welcome to come back any time.
Quiet condo on Marco
Location is ideal - walking distance to shops, restaurants, etc. Condo is sunny, pleasant and comfortable, equipped with nice extras like propane grill, beach chairs, cooler, plenty of towels. Host is great!-professional, reachable, responsive and accommodating. Neighbors ( owners and renters) are friendly. It was nice having no pets in complex. Heated pool was warm enough most days- on colder air temp days, pool cooled down a bit too much. Enjoyed our stay in this quiet location and plan to rent again next year.
