Marco Island

Where to Stay

The Somerset 

We stayed at the Somerset condo again. It’s right on the beach and close to the end of the beach so not a ton of people. Good views of the sunset and I was also able to get a lot of photos of lightning from the deck. They also have nice tennis courts. 

What to do

 

Beaches

We spent a lot of time at the beach and swimming in the ocean. The ocean is pretty calm where we were. There were a couple of thunderstorms and one time when we were walking on the beach, we went into the ocean and my hair started standing up.
