Marco Island Real Estate Information

Where else can you find a 4 by 6 mile tropical island with 4 ½ miles of sun-washed beaches, polka-dotted with seashells, abundant waterways and bays, emerald Gulf waters and splendid sunsets? Marco Island is a subtropical island paradise in the good old U.S.A., with the security and convenience of two bridges to the mainland of southwest Florida.

Marco Island is one of the most beautiful and desirable resort communities on the North American continent. This one of a kind, self-contained, full-service, easily accessible, diverse tropical community is nestled in one of the most dynamic, ecologically spectacular nature preserves in the world. As the farthest southernmost beach community on the west coast of Florida, we enjoy immediate access to things others can only dream of seeing. Imagine wide sugar-fine beaches and thousands of nearby uninhabited islands dancing with snowy egrets, great blue herons and comical pelicans. To the east and south stretches the Everglades National Park, a World Heritage Site.

Just across the bridge to the north is Naples, with ritzy resorts, elegant art galleries, championship golf courses, upscale restaurants and shopping. Marco Island, sets between untouched Florida and refined Naples, and is a blend of both. Not only is Marco Island a water wonderland for boating, fishing, and magnificent beaches, it also boasts outstanding resorts, bountiful restaurants and shopping, a flourishing cultural community, and more than 100 varied social clubs and charitable organizations. There is something for everyone. It's almost more fun in the sun than time allows!
