Our first trip to MI brought us beautiful sunshine and high of 80 in the middle of February. Days were spent relaxing on the beach, kayaking, and watching fishermen reel in bonnet head sharks and sting rays. Evenings were enjoyed at one of several nice seafood restaurants. Dolphin Tiki Bar was probably our favorite--on a marina, low-key, with great food. Loved the tropical ambiance of the Smith House for brunch. This first level condo was super convenient for beach/pool days--walk out the door and you're practically at the pool, then just a few more steps and the boardwalk takes you to the sand and tons of seashells. Owner provides guests with four beach chairs, two umbrellas, cart, coolers, and a few other beachy items, which was well appreciated. As far as the view of the ocean, you'll have a "window" between the foliage, but can still see the sunset. The full moon set on the horizon and was simply magical. We slept well on the comfy mattresses and pillows. A sound machine and cozy throws were nice extras. This 2BR condo is on the smaller side. The living area is only 11 feet wide, so if you have more than four in your party, it would seem crowded in my opinion.LADIES: Surprisingly, there was NO blow dryer. We made do. Check-in involved picking up keys at a nearby off-site lock box. Management (Chantel) was very responsive to a maintenance issue with dryer. The receptionist at Sea Winds was very friendly and helpful. We hope to return to Marco Island!
