About this property

Peaceful garden condo w/ heated pool across the street from South Beach

The beach is right across the street and other great attractions are just a short walk away from this 1,000 square foot, 2nd floor condo. It sleeps five, with one king bed, two twins, sleeper sofa and two bathrooms.

You’re surrounded by thick clusters of trees, making it feel like you’re living in a deluxe, fully furnished, tropical tree house. Sliding glass doors brighten the living room with natural light. Wherever there’s a surface, there’s a tropical plant, filling the living room with fragrance and color, blending with the cozy furnishings and beach-themed artwork to create a feel of island-style tranquility.

The summer kitchen overlooks the manicured gardens of the Essex and comes fully equipped with all the modern appliances and cookware you need to serve meals on the wooden dining room table or spacious kitchen counter. The appliances include a coffee maker and blender, because there’s no better way to start the day than morning coffee on the tree-shaded balcony, and there’s no better way to end it than sipping an ice-cold cocktail as the setting sun lights up the sky.

The bedrooms come with plenty of drawer and closet space and windows that look out on the garden, so you’ll fall asleep to massaging tropical breezes and the sound of rustling palm trees.

The unit comes with comfort-enhancing amenities, including air conditioning and heating, a washer and dryer, free wi-fi, cable and televisions in the living room and bedrooms. It also gives you beach essentials like beach towels, beach chairs, cooler and umbrella for that short walk across the street to the silken sands and turquoise waters of South Beach, where the activities never end. Stroll along the shore collecting shells. Snorkel in the warm shallow water or just sit back and watch dolphins playing in the surf.

You’re also just a short walk from the movie theatres and restaurants of Marco Walk Plaza, and from Marco Golf and Garden, a miniature golf course in the midst of an award-winning garden.

You can have the time of your life without leaving the grounds of the Essex. Take a swim in the heated pool then relax on one of the sun loungers. Play some tennis or stroll along paths that wind through tree-lined gardens.

So if you want a quiet, peaceful community just a short walk from the beach and other great activities, come join us at the Essex.

Unit 203 South Week of 3/23/24
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our 3rd time in a row staying in this unit. We stay here due to its location to the beach and food options. The location of the property is amazing. As explained in prior reviews, the unit in general is old, stale. The couch and chair are worn out, the bed is not comfortable anymore, and the TV is old. Some simple upgrades like furniture (bed, couch, chair), carpet and a smart TV bigger than the 20in they have are modest upgrades. The unit price continues to go up every year, but nothing is being put back in the unit, no updates. I guess the other side of that coin is we keep coming back, basically because of location. Last year the response was the owners were going to update the unit, but there were new towels and knives and that's it. I wish they'd invest in the unit a bit seeing that the rates continue to rise, but we keep coming. Looking at other options next year, overall we enjoyed our stay.

Too old and dated
The location was great. We were able to walk to the beach every day. However the condo although very clean is worn out and dated and we will not return.

Relaxing stay
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We prefer to stay on Marco Island in this area of S Collier. Short walk to beach access, easy walk to Marco Walk “mall” where there is multiple restaurants, boutique shopping & movie. This Essex unit is a little dated compared to others BUT is extremely clean and comfortable. The unit is well stocked with all linens, kitchen tools/accessories and beach items. Only recommendation to the owner is update the master bed mattress and the only reason for 4 out of 5 rating. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, would definitely return to this unit, and recommend to others.

Our second stay
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very quiet location near the beach with an easy 7 minute walk to the sand or 10 minutes to some very nice restaurants. We enjoy the Tommy Bahama beach chairs provided which allow us to easily back pack our stuff to the beach. Very nice pool.

Essex 203S Review
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 2nd year staying in 203S at the Essex. The location has to be one of the best non-beach front locations in Marco. For location, it's absolutely phenomenal. The unit is in desperate need of a modern upgrade. From the living room furniture to the beds, and the TV's are very dated. The carpet might need an upgrade in the next few years. Kitchen supplies are adequate. The pool was very enjoyable as well if you can tolerate the scowls from the retired folks when the kids arrive. Overall, great stay mostly due to location. Hopefully the unit can get some upgrades as we left the same review last year.
