Call Direct # 1 (866) 967-0741
Marco Island, FL
Explore the Florida’s west coast’s southernmost Isle from the Marco Island Lakeside Inn. This intimate, 19-suite island getaway is not your typical beach resort. The Naples area is heaven for beaches, less than five minutes from the Gulf of Mexico. And after a morning of sunbathing from your poolside room at Marco Island Lakeside, rent a canoe or kayak and explore 100 miles of island waterways. You’re likely to see iguanas and herons at the resort, and you’re sure to see plenty of other wildlife at the nearby Briggs Nature Center – or in the Everglades, just a short distance away. The Italian steakhouse, Casa Mia, is on site, plus sumptuous bedding amid Old Florida Key West style.
