Property was on the top floor with elevator and a short walk from beach. Loved the fact that they had grocery carts and hotel luggage cart to transport your luggage or groceries. Place was clean and comfortable with a beautiful view. Master Bathroom and kitchen are updated. Nice washer and dryer. Make sure to add to your order toilet paper and paper towels-you only get one roll for each bathroom and kitchen. Pick up your shampoo, conditioner and kitchen essentials. There were plenty of towels for beach and bathing though. Beach chairs were in the spare bedroom and were extremely uncomfortable if you plan on long days at the beach. Overall great place, wonderful stay you will definitely enjoy your Marco visit at the Essex.
The photos of view from lanai do not do it justice. Could easily see gulf and swaying palm trees and wonderful sky every night at sunset. Kitchen is well stocked. Bed is comfortable. Plenty linens. Short 1 block walk down to left of condo to public beach access. Nice and quiet there this time of year. Loved our stay.
Enjoyed our stay...accommodations were clean and nice layout..location was across street from beach...it was still a little walk to beach entrance...not bad... a lot of restaurants in area...definitely recommend this condo.
