Stayed at Scott's amazing condo while celebrating my parents anniversary and enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Would 100% stay here again!
Location (on the Gulf): We wanted Gulf-front and the Marquise delivered! Nothing between you and the water but a perfect beach with precious few tourists. We walked on the soft, powdery sand morning and sunset. If it's too hot to stay outside, just step out on the balcony for a moment and enjoy the sound of the waves whenever you please.
Location (within the Building): Scott's unit is (1) on a corner and (2) on the top floor. Couldn't get any better! No one above you and none of the bedrooms share walls with other units. Perfect! Please note that this building is only 2 floors, so there is no elevator. Even my aging parents said they would rather hustle up the stairs instead of dealing with tons of people at one of the taller buildings with elevators.
Location (proximity to Tampa): The Marquise is ideally situated just south of a major east-west thoroughfare which means you don't have to deal with slow beach traffic. We met friends in Tampa several times without issue. That said, there are several top-notch eateries and a CVS nearby so no particular need to drive at all.
If the location trifecta isn't enough to convince you that you've found "the one", take a look at the photos. The entire unit has been renovated. New bathrooms, new kitchen, new floors, new paint, etc. etc. Scott's team did a great job thinking of everything. The kitchen was fully-stocked. There are large TVs in every living space. The beachside storage unit has a cache of lounge chairs, floats, and a grill.
Truly fantastic and restorative visit. Can't wait to return.
