Quaint, old Florida-style rooms offer mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs, Keurig coffeemakers, and microwaves, plus some have patios with seating and superb water views. However, the style is somewhat dated and some units don’t include housekeeping. The outdoor pool offers fantastic water views and there's a lovely sundeck and boat slips on-site (for a fee). Free Wi-Fi and parking are provided, and some units are pet-friendly (for a fee), but there is no elevator and there are minimum stay requirements (depending on the time of year). Travelers should note that they must book directly with the property to obtain boat slips or pet-friendly rooms. Travelers might also want to compare rates with the nearby Marco Island Lakeside Inn, which has a nicer pool and fresher rooms.

coffee, and a flat-screen TV on the wall. Gorgeous sunsets and fantastic water views can be seen
throughout the property, including from the gray wood dock and sundeck with white and tan

Rooms
Cozy, old Florida style rooms with a variety of amenities; some have marvelous water views
There are several types of rooms available at this property, including Traditional Rooms, Condos, and a Gazebo House. All have a quaint, if a bit dated, Florida-style, though the property has recently invested in upgrades like new linens and towels. Rooms have tan tile or carpet, wood armchairs, and colorful bedspreads (replaced after our visit with fresher patterns). Mini-fridges sit on top of furniture pieces, as do microwaves, flat-screen TVs, and Keurig coffeemakers. Air-conditioning is provided. Some rooms are waterfront and have patios with seating and exquisite views of the Marco River, while others have fully-equipped kitchens with stainless steel appliances. The Gazebo House is situated on the water with panoramic river views and a wraparound deck. However, there is no housekeeping provided for the Gazebo House or Condos. Bathrooms are small and simple, with shower/tub combos and basic toiletries provided.
