Nice condo. Very clean with a great balcony to enjoy the sunsets over a very beautiful beach. Hosts were thoughtful in providing equipment for the beach, and everything we would need in the modest kitchen.We especially appreciate the prompt response from the host.
The apartment was beautifully decorated, well-equipped, clean, quiet, and had a beautiful view of the beach and sunsets. Having a restaurant in the building was an added bonus. Rossana was always available to answer any questions quickly. We highly recommend this rental unit and would stay there again.
This is a great apartment. It’s quite small, but it was perfect for my wife and I for a Marco vacation. The owners were great communicators and check in and check out was very smooth. They also provided beach chairs, towels, an umbrella and a beach buggy to haul everything down to the beach. Our only constructive feedback would be that the information booklet provided in the apartment was a bit out of date with what the current policies are and there are very minimal basic necessities provided (toilet paper, paper towels, toiletries, etc). Overall, this is a fantastic place and which I would recommend to anyone.
This property was just as presented on the listing. It was clean, cute and comfortable. I was so happy to spend my 60th at this beautiful beach! The weather wasn't perfect, but we still had the best time! Beach Birthday Bliss!
The owner of this unit has done everything possible to make your stay great. There is even Kleenexes and coffee filters, which we have learned the hard way, not all VRBO owners provide.
Check in was great even though we literally arrived in the middle of the night.
The owner provides beach towels and beach chairs!
The view from the balcony could not be any better.
However, I have two negatives for this property.
First there is no "fitness center". Two treadmills does NOT a "fitness center' make. We booked this property over another good option specifically because we like to work out even on vacation, so this was very disappointing. Also, if you're wondering, they do not have pickleball courts. Only tennis courts.
Secondly, this building is right next to public beach access, so the beach was always very crowded.
For these reason, we would not stay here again.
Tastefully decorated and renovated condo. Mattress great for excellent sleep! Apollo building, we’ve stayed in several units through the years, does not have great sound proofing between walls and floors/ceilings. You rely on courtesy of others and that is not always reliable! But this beach front condo is fantastic location’
Having stayed in a few other VRBO condos on various beaches around FL, my wife and I had yet to stay in Marco Island. After some research, I found this listing for 405 Apollo. The reviews and photos looked nice. So I booked it, hoping it would be as good as everyone said…. Well, were we surprised.
The pre-stay communications with the host was fantastic, the check-in was smooth and easy and then we walked in the door. AMAZING VIEW… as we looked around the condo it appeared as if we were the first to ever stay here. Exceptionally clean, well stocked with everything needed and attractively furnished in a beach theme. I do believe we have found our favorite get-away location. After spending 5 nights there, we cannot wait to go back.
Fantastic condo within a short walking distance to restaurants and shops
Thank you Rossana and Steve for such a nice place.
Wow, after last year's experience here we didn't think it could get better. This is a beautiful condo with a perfect view, outstanding decor and fantastic value. The hosts are beyond amazing and if you rent this unit, you will feel like family. Due to a power glitch on the island, a problem occurred with the fridge not cooling. One phone call later, and after profuse apologies from our hosts (like the glitch was their fault) within a few hours there was a new fridge delivered! My wife and I were blown away. They go out of their way to make your rental experience and trip to Marco awesome. This is our "happy place" and these two made it even happier! Thanks for an amazing experience and see you next year!
This condo is beautifully updated. It has amazing views of the sunsets off Marco Island. The owners have made their little piece of paradise a real treasure.
Thank you for a great time!
The apartment was perfect for us. The sunsets were wonderful every night. Steps from the beach and a quality pool area. Lots of excellent food choices in the area. Do yourself a favor and go to Dulce Mare for dessert!
The unit was exactly as described - no surprises there at all and the host made herself readily available. The condo building is older but well kept. I would recommend this location and unit for 1-2 people. We enjoyed our stay and would consider a repeat in the future.
Had a great time on Marco Island. Condo was very clean and had everything we needed to make our stay so enjoyable. Views from the balcony were amazing. Rossana made us feel comfortable from the moment we booked. The building is going through painting updates The Apollo is looking great. Looking forward to our next visit. Thank you for sharing your condo with us
This was a perfect property for our week-long family vacation. The space was obviously recently updated, so was fresh, clean and quite comfortable. It was just the right size for my wife, teenager (14) and me, with the teenager on the pull-out sofa in the living room. (You could swap one teenager for 2 smaller children, I'd guess.) The kitchen is a bit limited (toaster oven vs traditional oven) but we had not problem with making our own meals (and thanks for the Keurig coffees!) The view is amazing and we saw dolphins making their feeding run every morning with our coffee. Access to the beach (and pool) is incredibly easy and the hosts have left all the amenities your family needs (chairs, umbrella, cooler, towels, toys & cart (cart is a big deal!)). The beach is covered in shells - more than we imagined - and the surf was gentle, not crashing. We also checked out Tigertail (about 15 min drive away - and a pretty long walk). It is a 1/2 mile walk to several restaurants, ice cream/gelato, shopping, souvenirs, and gas station and about a 10-minute drive to groceries. It was also nice to have the Sunset Grill downstairs that fills up for every sunset. Most things shut down about 9p so it is very easy to emphasize early mornings and full adventure days. Check-in, parking logistics, and check-out were easy. And the hosts were quite responsive, although we really didn't need anything urgent. We'll put it at the top of the list for a return.
We have stayed at a few different places at the Apollo and this was our favorite so far. It had everything we needed to make our stay a great one. Very clean and the bed was comfortable. It had both a Kerig coffee maker as well as a regular coffee maker. Being on the 4th floor, we were up just high enough to get a great view of the beach and the dolphins swimming in the gulf. Will definitely stay in this same unit again if it's available when we take our next trip down to Marco Island
Condo was super clean and had a beautiful direct view of the gulf. The host very generously supplied things you won’t see in some other vrbos like a handful of keurig pods and dish soap. Kitchen was fully stocked with cooking utensils and dishes.The beach chairs and umbrella were an awesome amenity.

About the host
Hosted by Stephen & Rossana Wheelock
We have been visiting Marco Island since the 1980's and love it. We are both retired; my husband from the U.S. Department of State and I from a small furniture business. Marco Island is our second home and we always love coming here to enjoy the island atmosphere and sunshine.
Why they chose this property
Apollo 405, one of the middle units, offers a bit more balcony privacy because it is walled on both sides. The 4th flooor level a commanding view of the beach and Gulf without the detached feeling that the higher levels may impart. Rossana enjoys decorating and has designed the unit to combine the sensation of being at home and also on a tropical vacation. We offer WiFi in the apartment (access code needed and provided) and standard cable TV channels.
The beach in front of the Apollo is located at the very south tip of Marco Beach and is unique in several ways. First, there are rocks that break up the erosion and offer a change of view, fishing points and sites where birds gather to seek food. On very low tide days, one may walk further down and see views of the 10,000 islands. The beach is amply sized and one is assured of finding a quiet area to enjoy the sun.
What makes this property unique
The location is good for those who may wish to fish from the shore, the beach is home to a variety of birdlife, fish, dolphins and others and offers spectacular views of the Gulf and beach. Weddings are sometimes performed on the beach and yoga classes are also offered daily. Marco Island has a wonderful library, YMCA, mini-golf, medical and shopping.
