About the host: Hello Guest,
We know it is always nice to "Get to Know " the owner of the potential property you may like to rent. I would be happy to hear from you personally at the numbers below. We are "Beach People", from Breezy Point, NY and always enjoy sharing our Marco insights with our guests.
Please contact me at : beachvu117@: (reg. business hours) for any inquiry questions and concerns you may have regarding my condo at Florentine Gardens, Marco Island. Thank you, Eileen McDonald
Why this property? Marco Island is our perfect vacation spot. It is one of the safest places we have ever visited. The weather is sunny and warm almost all year long. Our condo is at the south end of Marco Island where there is great beach access and in a location we have rented many times before. It is a quieter section that lends itself to a calm feeling of living in a tropical paradise. We love the beach and realize proximity to the Gulf of Mexico shoreline is a priority, especially with young children, seniors and grandchildren. The pool and 4th floor water views from the lanai, living room and Master bedroom are magnificent. The building also has a special "curb appeal" that sets itself apart from the surrounding condo complexes. The landscaping and cleanliness of the property is meticulous. Lobby area and elevators are perfectly maintained with friendly, helpful residents and guests making the experience of living in Florentine Gardens like a small neighborhood. A short walk to the Sunset Grille on the beach is the perfect spot to toast the sunsets goodnight and have another great "Marco Moment". Contact: Eileen McDonald: beachvu117@

Two wonderful visits!!
We rented Tom and Eileen‘s condo last year during the month of June. While we go to Marco at least once a year and vacation often, we have never booked a second vacation the minute we got back. That is basically what we did with this rental, because we were so impressed! The communication with the owners is top-notch and they are super easy to work with. We LOVE the location, amenities and other residents at Florentine Gardens and the condo itself is perfect - well equipped and comfortable!!! We will most likely be booking again for next year SOON! I can’t say enough good things about Eileen and the condo at FG!

Fabulous Condo in a fabulous location!
This condo is amazing. Once we walked in, it felt like home. Anything you would want for your vacation, it had. Beautiful view, upgraded bathrooms and kitchen, exceptionally clean, fully stocked and a short walk to the beautiful beach. Eileen was a pleasure to deal with and went above and beyond to assure that we had a wonderful stay. Looking forward to our return, which can't come soon enough!
