Escape to Paradise Unobstructed Views of the Gulf, 10,000 Islands, Private Beach

This was the third year we stayed in this unit. It never disappoints and the gorgeous view never gets tiring. The kitchen is so well appointed that making meals in, is a breeze. The Eckerts are the best and most responsive hosts of all the many VRBO homes we’ve stayed in. We’ve already signed up for next year.

Very nice with nice updates. View and location couldnt be any better

All aspects of the VRBO description were accurate. This is wonderful 5th floor condo that is situated 40-50 yards from the gulf. From our awesome vantage point, we saw dolphins galore, a couple of rays, some kind of leaping fish that was pretty big, pelicans, eagles, ospreys and other assorted birds. We had a great time.

We have enjoyed our last two years at this marvelous Condo. Not only are the views stunning, the condo is beautifully appointed and has everything you could possibly need for a month long visit!

Great condo with excellent views.

This is the second year we have stayed in this unit, and we have re-upped for next year. The unit is even better than the photos show. The relaxation we feel from the heavenly views to the decor and the condo complex upkeep and amenities is the best we have experienced. The kitchen is so well appointed that we most often cook at home. We don’t have to leave to see beautiful sunrises or sunsets. Finally, the communication with the owners is excellent. Thank you so much for sharing.

We have been renting on Marco the past few years and finally we found a condo that is so welcoming it felt like home! The hosts were attentive and checked in on us when we had some bad weather. The condo was clean and stocked with everything you need! Lastly, the views were amazing! Dolphin, manatee and an occassional stingray you would see from your balcony. Thank you for the best memories! Can't wait to book next year!

Awesome views from a great condo directly on the water. We experienced many days where the dolphin played in front of our unit. The condo is very clean and has everything you need for a wonderful vacation. Shipps Landing is located at the south end of Marco. The Eckert team is always available to make sure your trip is an enjoyable one.

We stayed for the month of January 2024. As beautiful as they are, the pictures don’t do this condo justice. The decor is light, bright, and modern but also very comfortable. The view is absolutely gorgeous - both sunrises and sunsets, the Gulf of Mexico and the 10,000 Islands with Caxambas Pass, dolphins, all species of birds and types of boats to watch. It didn’t matter that it was the rainiest, coolest January we have ever spent in Florida. The surroundings are to beautiful and relaxing to mind the weather. The kitchen is fully appointed and every other detail has been thought of to make your stay fun and relaxing - from a wide variety of indoor and outdoor seating, 2 bicycles to ride around the island, beach and fishing gear, plenty of good quality towels and access to lovely pools, gym, tennis courts, grills and more. Finally, the owners were easily accessible and great to deal with. We enjoyed our time so much that it is the first time we have already scheduled for the next year. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home.

Great condo with lovely views of sunrise and sunset. Well equipped kitchen, board games, bocce and pickle ball. We paddled out to a few small islands just offshore for shelling. Great time.
