Jean S.Great place to stay
This condominium is exactly as described and the pictures are accurate. It was clean and well equipped. The screened deck was such a great place to relax and enjoy morning coffee. The view of the sunset in between the buildings across the street is nice. Very easy walk to the beautiful South Marco beach. The owners are accessible by phone and their instructions for the condo are clear. They also give recommendations for the area which are helpful. We enjoyed our stay.

Todd A.Great Vacation!
Great vacation spot for a family of 4 or 5. Condo was very clean. Kitchen had everything you would need. Screened in patio a plus. A limited view of the ocean. Easy walk to the public beach access. Condo had all amenities for a beach day (chairs, umbrella and beach buggy). Walking distance to a couple good restaurants and convenience store. Owner Dave has a great information packet. Would definitely rent again. Thanks Dave and Cami

Scott R.Perfect Condo to Enjoy Marco Island as a Family
The Essex Condo is right across the road from the beach. The condo has a full kitchen, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and was perfect for a family of four. The renovations are very nice and add to the charm of condo. The is also a small view of the gulf from the lanai. The walk to the beach is a short and quick. Access to some of the best restaurants along South Collier Blvd are also a short distance. David DySmyter made sure we were in the condo and ensured that we had everything we needed. Great communication from the owner. This was our second stay in this condo, and we plan to visit again real soon!

Jane T.Great place for our family of five! Close to beach, nice pool, wonderful condo
We were so happy with our stay at the condo! The distance to the beach was just right for our kids (2.5-7.5), the pool made for great playtime when we wanted a change-up from the beach, and the condo itself was really well taken care of. From the kitchen to the beach cart, everything we needed was right there to make our stay easy and enjoyable. We took walks to the nearby restaurants and shops and loved being able to see the water right from the balcony. We would definitely stay here again!

John D.Newly updated condo feels clean and bright.
This unit is at the south end of the island just across the street from the beach. It is a quick walk to the south beach public entrance. The unit is newly renovated, so it is very comfortable to stay in. It is a 2 bedroom unit with a window on the side. It overlooks the pool and lets in a lot of light. The updated bathrooms have new vanities, mirrors and showers. There are hard floor surfaces throughout so it can be easily cleaned. They painted the entire unit. The updated kitchen has new cupboards, countertops, and appliances. It feels like cooking at home. All the bedroom furniture is new, as well as the mattresses. The owner is very easy to work with. He responds quickly to texts and e-mails and always reaches out to make sure the unit is ok. The beautiful sunset sky is visible between the buildings. We have been coming to this unit for 10 years and look forward to returning every year.

Jenna & Henry L.Wonderful Marco Island vacation
We recently stayed at this lovely condo () and could not have been happier. Dave was super-easy to communicate with & always got back to us quickly if we had any questions, etc. The condo was super-clean & was even nicer than it appeared in the pictures online. The location was perfect-short walk to the beach & we could see the beautiful sunset from our balcony on the days we weren’t on the beach The condo is stocked with everything you could possibly need for a wonderful vacation (my favorite was the beach cart-made it so easy to bring all of our stuff to the beach). I would highly recommend staying here-it was awesome!!

If you are looking for a clean unit close to the beach look no further! Great end unit with all the amenities of home. Plenty of kitchen supplies to cook your meals if you don't want to go out. Nice view of the gulf from the lanai or kitchen table. Now the good part, you are equipped for the short walk to the beach. High quality umbrella, chairs, buggy and towels.

First time staying at the Essex in this condo and it was fantastic. Only a few minutes walk to the beach. The unit has all the beach equipment needs for a great day on the beach.

Chris W.Essex condo
This is the second time we’ve book with Dave. I gave him five stars because he has always been very prompt, courteous and quick to answer all my questions. He even remembered who we were and handled our last minute booking like a pro. We stayed in his two bedroom Essex condo. The place was very clean and had everything we needed for cooking, laundry & the beach. The beach equipment was a very big plus for us since we like to spend a lot of time there. I believe Dave tries to make make you’re trip as carefree as possible by giving you as much information as he can. We are already making plans to go back again next fall.

ToreyWe loved it!
My husband and I stayed here with our 3 kids and absolutely loved it! The pool was fantastic and it was a quick walk to the beach. We definitely recommend this condo -- the owner was great to work with and everything that we needed was there (beach toys, beach chairs, washer/dryer, blender, etc). Marco Island is so beautiful and we would love to visit again!

Barbara A.Love this vacation sanctuary!
The first time I rented this condo was in 2007 and it is just as lovely as the first time! The walk to the beach is pleasant. I always see dolphins, collect shells and walk sunrise and sunset. Yes, you can see both! The weather was wonderful this week! The condo has everything for your home away from home! The beds are super comfortable ! The owner is very nice and responds quickly to emails! You will be so happy that you stayed in this piece of paradise!!

Erica V.A Great Family Getaway
The condo is beautiful and very well equipped with everything that we needed on our Marco Island vacation. We actually brought a lot of our beach stuff from home that never left the car. We’ll know better next time because the beach cart, towels, Tommy Bahama chairs and umbrella, along with the beach toys that were provided were all we really needed. The beds were super comfortable and the provided linens were great quality. We loved the location on the south end of the the island. The walk isn’t bad to the beach (across the street and down a few blocks) and there are restaurants within walking distance too. Having the view of the pool from the condo and covered parking is also a great bonus. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again soon.

This condo is in an excellent location being that it is right on the beach and walking distance to all the activities. There is a shopping center (my wife loved) as well as various restaurants (I loved) that are less than a mile away from the condo. The condo was spotless and the Owner (David) was very quick with his responses back. Overall, outstanding experience!
