Welcome to your front-row seat to Marco Island's iconic crescent-shaped beach, a place where mornings begin with soft Gulf breezes and evenings close with watercolor sunsets drifting across the horizon. This turnkey one-bedroom, 1.5-bath beachfront residence offers the rare opportunity to go directly into the island lifestyle so many dream of. Inside, the primary suite captures sweeping views of the Gulf, creating a calm retreat anchored by a spacious en-suite bath featuring dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and a separate soaking tub/shower combination. A generous walk-in closet provides thoughtful storage with space for shelving and a dresser. The light-filled living area opens seamlessly to the beachfront balcony, your private perch to watch dolphins glide by, feel the rhythm of the waves or enjoy a quiet morning coffee. All furnishings convey, including a remote-operated king sleeper sofa that offers guests comfort and a priceless view. The kitchen provides ample cabinetry, abundant counter space, and a convenient pantry/storage closet, while a private storage locker on the lobby level offers additional room for beach gear or personal items. Impact-rated sliders and windows, plus a new air conditioner and stackable washer/dryer (2024), add to the peace of mind.
