Marco Island  Florida Beaches

The question is, "What are the 3 most important factors to consider when choosing a Marco Island villa?" 

As you drive onto the island via the Jolley Bridge, you'll take a left turn on to North Barfield Dr..  By this time you have noticed what  a beautiful island it is.  If you have been to other beach front communities you would see billboards exhorting your kids to spend money at go-carts, wax museums, and other tourist traps.  Not on Marco Island!  This is a community which maintains its tropical roots. Next you take a right turn on to Birwood Terrace,  and you can't help but say "WOW!". The Island Country Club clubhouse   is stately and elegant and provides an appropriate introduction to Nassau Ct. Far down the palm lined cul-du-sac, a few houses from the end, on the left you find 329 Nassau Ct.  You notice right away the privacy of this neighborhood.  Sure, if our neighbors, Nicki and Doug Davis are out on their bikes ,  they are going to wave and greet you, but this is one quiet neighborhood.  You now know that you have left the condo and office buildings behind.  The only sound you hear is the occasional golf cart visible at the end of the cul-du-sac which opens to the golf course. You turn into the driveway leading to the double garage, stop the car and run to the front door. Step in the door and your eyes are grabbed by the waterview through the wide patio doors.  Past the patio, over the large, heated pool, and private dock, all you can see is water!   All you can  think about now is relaxing in a lounge chair.  Meanwhile your kids are hopping into the pool and you can relax because the pool is visible from the patio, master  bedroom, living room, and kitchen.
