| There's
just about something for everyone in and around Marco. If
you've just spent a week at the Orlando attractions,
you'll welcome the rest and relaxation to be had from
lazing around the swimming pool or on the beach. No
crowds, queues nor hassles! Just
through the gate from the pool area, and you're on
Tigertail Beach, the northern part of Marco's lovely
Crescent Beach. Swim in the calm waters of the Gulf as
the pelicans dive for fish. Dolphins are often seen
within yards of the shoreline too. You can stroll along
Sand Dollar Island and comb the beach for shells. Rentals
of cabanas, windsurfers and small water craft are
available at Tigertail, as well as sales of food and
drink.

Motor boats and waverunners can be
hired from nearby marinas, and you can explore the inland
waterways and access uninhabited islands. If you're a
keen fisherman, you'll enjoy an escorted offshore
expedition, or maybe you'll just cast a line into one of
the many waterways which criss-cross the island and
surrounding area. Bike and motor-scooter rentals are also
available on the island. Other leisure activities include
tennis, sailing, and parasailing. The area also has
several golf courses open to the public.The
Everglades National Park is just down the road, where
airboat and swamp-buggy rides are available at a number
of locations. There are wildlife centers, including a zoo
at Naples. Further afield, Key West - the most southerly
point of the continental United States - can be visited
on a day-trip basis by air or sea cruises from the Marco
River Marina.
Marco
boasts many restaurants covering cuisines from around the
world. Most offer an informal dining style, consistent
with the vacation-mode of their customers. There is a
good range of shops, including 3 large supermarkets. At
nearby Naples, you'll find a broad range of department
stores and designer outlets.
We
recognise that groups occasionally wish to split up, so
we provide an extra set of keys to ensure you are not
tied to making a timely rendezvous in order to re-enter
the apartment. We feel that little details like this make
all the difference in the enjoyment of your stay.
