MARCO MINDSET - Beach or Boat. So close! 2BD + Den

NOTE: We are not currently taking reservations past 12/31/2026. We will open reservations in early 2026 Thank you.

The Location - Florentine Gardens is located on the south end of the island less than two blocks from the public entrance to south beach. NO PARKING ISSUES from here, you can walk it in less than 10 minutes. Want to catch a sunrise? Take a left out of the parking lot and head about 3 blocks to Caxambas Park to take in the sunrise or watch a few fisherman try their luck. Want to catch a sunset? Take a right out of the parking lot and stroll the short two blocks to the Sunset Grille and have a sunset dinner overlooking our beautiful beach. This property offers a serene homelike feel with no weekly rentals and only 43 units in the entire complex. Quiet, but close to everything you need.

The Unit - This is not an investment property, but our home away from home. We are excited to share it with you during the months we are away. We don’t rent this often, so there are very few families using this and we expect the items below to remain in great condition. Due to allergies, this is a NO PET and NO SMOKING Unit.
• Bedrooms - The beds are very comfortable. Back or neck issues? The main bedroom has a split king ADJUSTABLE bed with plush pillow top mattresses. So, if you like to sleep flat and they like to sleep with their head and/or feet elevated. NO PROBLEM. The guest bedroom has a king size bed with an additional 3" foam topper. Talk about comfortable! The den has bunk beds with foam toppers as well.
• Bathrooms – Both bathrooms are newly remodeled and the guest bath has a "Jack and Jill" bathroom shared with the den. The water is hot and there is adequate room for everyone to get ready for that special night out.
• Kitchen – Kitchen is stocked with new, higher end pots and pans and cooking utensils. The appliances are new as is the blender, air fryer, toaster, personal blender, and coffee maker.
• Entertainment – new 65” Smart TV in the Living room, new 55” Smart TV in the Main bedroom, and a new 43” Smart TV in the Guest Bedroom. Stream if you have accounts, if you don't then cable is available on all three TV's. Free WiFi for all your binge watching needs (or if you just have to catch up on a few work emails…let’s try to keep that to a minimum while you are here in paradise!) There are some games and books available (in unit and the social room) as well for you to enjoy.
• Living/Dining – With 1988 square feet there is plenty of room in this open concept condo for everyone to relax and catch a movie on their favorite streaming service after a nice dinner on the lanai overlooking the pool and canal. There is room for six at the indoor dining table and room for four at the lanai dining, so take your choice!
• Lanai – The lanai has a newly installed hurricane sliding door, so you can easily open it up for some fresh air or close it and extend your indoor living space. There is a dining table and a new couch and rocker to relax with a good book.
• Supplies – You will find plenty of supplies to get your vacation started, including pickleball paddles and beach supplies (beach bag, towels, umbrella, umbrella anchor, chairs, and a wagon to pull them in for the short walk to the beach – all you need to bring are your shades, a good book, and suntan lotion)
• Washer/Dryer – a newer, full size washer and dryer is located in the unit.
• The Amenities – Don’t want to put your feet in the sand? Enjoy the heated pool or take a dip in the hot tub. Play a game of tennis or pickle ball on our on-site court. Throw the fish you caught off our docks on the natural gas grills and kick back and relax as the sun goes down. Rent a kayak and drop it in the canal right here and head to one of the many islands for a day of shelling.

Area Information

Enjoy the beach or Everglades by day and take a short drive or walk to a nice restaurant or catch a movie or live entertainment in the evening. Come back to a quiet, low density complex that feels more like a house than an in/out condo with new people coming in everyday.

Take a trip to Key West by car or the Key West express. Want a little city life? Head a few hours south to Miami or a few hours north to Tampa. Either way, you can catch a spring training baseball game. Want to head to Orlando - just a short trip for a couple of days stay. Either way, you can head back to Marco Island and get back in the Marco Mindset. This is a wonderful place to use as a home base for all that Florida has to offer.

On the Island itself - There are so many wonderful restaurants, entertainment and arts opportunities. You can go for a run/walk on the beach or head down to the local racquet club for a fun game of tennis or pickleball. Golf more your style? There are dozens of great golf courses within a short distance. Want to get on the water? You can rent a kayak, boat or jet ski or hire a local captain to take you to that secret fishing or shelling spot. Or....you could just do nothing and enjoy the wonderful weather that Marco Island offers year-round.
