Somerset 203

Great sunset views, close to food, local shops, and activities.

Thanks for your help during my reservation, arrival, and answering quickly any doubt we had during our stay. Andrew has been more than great during the booking process. We booked at last minute, and he was very helpful to make the right reservation, and pick the right dates and place. Fully recommended if you are looking for relaxing holidays.

My family and I had a great week at the Somerset in Marco Island! Our particular unit is need of some serious updating, but it was very clean and comfortable, so everything worked out just great.

We had a great time during our stay in Marco Island, and the condo's location is perfect. It does need to be updated overall, eg, ice maker is broken so we had to make and buy ice, balcony furniture need heavy duty cleaning, towels need replacing, so not able to give it a top rating. had to buy coffee mugs and hangars. The beach cart is on its last legs. The management company is responsive. Amenities at Somerset are good, eg, pools, walkways to beach, pickleball courts.

The rental agency was very organized and communicative. The building location is fantastic with many restaurants and conveniences in walking distance. The building has all the amenities with pools, fitness center, tennis/pickle courts and it is right on the beach.
The actual unit has a beautiful ocean view. It is furnished adequately. Definitely furnished for “rental” versus owner occupancy. Definitely feel it needs a refresh including towels, linens and new carpet. Bathrooms fine but need some TLC and vanities are 4-6 inches lower than anything I have ever seen. The kitchen utensils, pots/pans, coffee maker etc feels like a college apartment where your parents gave you all their old discarded items. TV’s are good but wish they were smart TV’s for streaming. WiFi was good but be prepared the building blocks cell service remarkably well so phone calls best on the beach or away from the building.
There were plenty of beach chairs and even some beach items for children.The mattresses are very good but the twin beds appear to be cottage twins versus normal size twins.
The unit is best suited for a couple with children versus 4 adults. In the end you get what you pay for and our rental Somerset 203, was priced below other refurbished units in the same building. Overall pleased but if landlord invested just a little money it could be so much better. (January 2024)

We were very happy with this unit. That said, the condo needs a lot of updating, but it provided us with everything we needed with a clean, comfortable place, plenty of kitchen utensils and cookware, gorgeous views and sunsets which we enjoyed from the balcony, easy walk to the beach, perfect location. The management company, Marco Island Vacation Properties, was very responsive to everything we asked about in a very timely fashion (they get 5 stars) from replacing burned out bulbs and to providing a colander. In addition, there were 4 pickleball courts (2 dedicated, 2 shared with tennis court) which we used daily. Not being updated reduced the rating to 3.5 stars. We enjoyed it so much that we will be rebooking for 2024.

Easy! They were great to work with!

Somerset#203. Is a beautiful location- It was clean and we enjoyed our stay there- It is a soft and warm feeling place- Loved the decor - The only two things to list. I could not find the kitchen stopper for the sink and the patio furniture was dirty and had not been wiped down Beautiful sunsets

Unit is very outdated. Carpet old and stained. Twin beds are child size
Location great

Outside grounds are well kept. Location is beautiful. Very safe. 203 is dated but comfortable for as much time spent in room. Bedding needs new pillows and mattress. We had a bug issue. Management answered promptly but no follow up.

We selected Somerset Condominiums because my daughter's friend's family was also staying at this location. The layout of our condo was as expected and fine. The furnishings and decor was not as expected. It was dated and in desperate need of updating and not to today's standards or expectations when paying $4000 per week for a condo. Every night we experienced a sewer gas smell in the master bedroom. We called maintenance and were told that "if it happened in other rooms to let them know." They didn't have a remedy and seemed to not care. The others who were staying at the same location had nice furnishings that were updated and they had nice beach equipment, which we did not. After being told they were doing extra cleaning due to COVID we found light switches that were disgustingly dirty, shower floor was dirty and overall not impressed with the cleanliness of the unit. The beds and bedding were worn and uncomfortable, especially the guest room. Come to find out they paid less than we did. We would go back to Somerset but would not rent this condo again. Very disappointed.

Property was beautiful. Beach was close and beautiful. Friendly people and great amenities.

View of the beach and ocean is beautiful! Sunset views were gorgeous! Great location on 2nd floor - you can even see one of the pools. This place was very clean! The bedrooms/bathrooms/front sitting area in the condo are very dated. Carpeting is old and worn - should be replaced. The second bedroom was dark and had a stale smell to it. The bedrooms did not have ceiling fans - a definite "minus". However, the living room/dining room furniture is new and comfortable and the huge TV was a plus. The outside balcony furniture is plentiful and comfortable.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The unit was stocked with most everything we needed, was clean and had super comfortable beds. We especially enjoyed the patio with spacious seating and a gorgeous view of the ocean. There were a couple of minor maintenance issues which I reported but nothing that caused for serious inconvenience.

We were super comfortable and enjoyed the beautiful views,and the immaculate grounds at Somerset. When we called about a malfunctioning light switch and missing light bulbs, we were promptly taken care of.

The condo is in a great location right on the beach. Beautiful views. I have mobility issues and the agent provided a shower stool which was a great help. The pool has steps and a railing so I could get in and out. The boardwalk to the beach is wheelchair friendly. The unit was everything we hoped for.

Great weather, great view of beach

Loved the view! Perfect for watching the beautiful sunset of Marco including a few dolphins. The balcony was huge with lots of seating. Also, a partial view of the pool from the balcony was a plus. The condo was pretty clean but it needs updating. Old dated wallpaper throughout the whole place. The second bedroom was dark and had a stale smell to it. We missed having ceiling fans or small rotating fans. It was hot a few days but we desired to keep the slider open to hear the waves and didn't want to turn on the air. The sliding door to balcony was very difficult to lock. The outlet on balcony is fried. Cabinets need updating. Kitchen was stocked well for cooking except no salt/pepper/spices. A plus was a washer/dryer. The huge TV in livingroom was awesome. Pool was warm except for 3 days when the power went out for a few minutes during a storm and the pool didn't get reset. Pool area had a restroom. We liked that The Somerset is gated and that a key is required to access the pool and private walkway to beach. The condo provided beach chairs and other beach goodies. We found lots of shells including starfish. 10 min walk to restaurants like Sunset Grill, Pinchers, Salty Dog and a 7/11 convenience store, movie theater and a little shopping. Short drive to Airboat Rides. We enjoyed hitting the bars and listening to music on Goodland (another short drive).

Compared to last years rental it was extremely disappointing

A pleasant stay. The apartment was clean. The appliances worked. The building was well taken care of. We felt safe and secure. The sea views were peaceful and relaxing. The beach was often quiet and nearly empty early in the morning. The water was tranquil and warm. The sand was white and fine. And the pool was fun for the kids and adults alike. We all had a good time!

Unit was clean,roomy,and had a beautiful view of the gulf. Fully equipped with all needed items.Master bed very comfortable. Could use ceiling fans in unit.

Overall a nice place, but some issues. Although nice and clean, but needs updating. Several electrical problems, burned out light bulbs, sliding door walls VERY difficult to lock and unlock. Elevators were in a constant state of repair, rarely had two operational at the same time. Cabinets need updating. Linens were torn and stained. Kitchen well stocked for cooking. Washer and dryer were nice. Nice balcony furniture.

When we opened the door, and saw the view straight thru to the ocean, I knew it was going to be a great trip! The balcony was big and the space with 2 bed, 2 bath was perfect. We will come back!

Had a most relaxing time at the Somerset. Great location. My only issue is that we went with another couple, and the bed rooms were not equal in space or
location in the condo. My wife and I were lucky in that we had the master bed room overlooking the ocean, while the other couple had the inside room with double beds. They did not really mind it, but it would have been nicer for them if the rooms were comparable. Otherwise, a great place to stay!
Upon arrival, we did have a problem with a commode, but after a couple of
Phone calls, the issue was fixed within an hour of our arrival. Great service.

The condo we rented was in a great location and very roomy. The couches had a mildew smell and the kitchen had tiny ants.

The landscapers were using a rotary hammer in the morning on several days and on several occasions. This was very noisy and disruptive.

Overall, the condo complex and unit were great. We would stay there again.

The view, the view, the view!! This condo is right on the beach with a private walkway to the beach. Very clean and comfortable condo with ample room for a family of 4. The amenities in the condo unit were perfect for us. We took advantage of the grilling area by the pool a few times while the kids were swimming. One of the best family vacations we have experienced together. Highly recommended!

The best relax and apartment condition the beach is clear water

We had a great week at Somerset 203. Although the unit was dated, the view and balcony are amazing for watching the beautiful sunset of Marco. The condo was clean but does not sleep 5. There was no pullout couch, just a recliner.

This property had a spectacular view! We had every meal out on the patio and we were able to enjoy the it well into the evening. The property is steps away from the beach and the pool was delightful. Marco Island vacation Properties were wonderful to work with.When we found that the washing machine was not working, a repairman arrived on time and a new machine within the day so that we were not inconvenienced. Our ONLY request is to have the screen doors replaced to the patio as they are tough to open.We will be back!

Great view, nice place. Only problems were a really bad can opener, no extra paper towels or trash bags. Biggest problem were the sliders that very much needed service and directions on using the AC.

The view was the reason to take the rental. It is
quit old. There was a very bad order in the unit.
We used sprays and remove area rug. Then we covered
all the furniture with sheets. Management send cleaners in for extra clean. We ask for the furniture, carpets to be shampooed. They said no.
After leaving all the windows open it became bearable. Would not rent again.

The condo is very dated and needs updating. I read in other reviews about the patio screen door being difficult to open and close and it is....needs to be fixed. Wallpaper in second bathroom is in need of repair or replaced altogether, tile (grout) in second bath shower needs to be cleaned or replaced, plumbing under kitchen sink leaked, WIFI in unit very sporadic.

We honeymooned on marco 25 years ago and wanted a condo to spend a week to remember the fun we had. The condo was great and clean. We had an awesome time.

The unit was clean and almost well equipped. The pans and staples were a little lax but upon calling the management company, they promptly delivered a frying pan and dish soap. Unit was not as described. We had 5 people. The description noted a pullout in the living room. No pullout! A recliner does not constitute a pullout. The sliding glass doors in both the MBR and off the Living Room are pretty near impossible to operate. They are extremely difficult to open and close. Very, very heavy and worn out. Elderly people will never be able to operate these doors. No kidding! Upon arrival on Wed through Fri, there was construction going on in the unit next door and below us. The CONSTANT pounding, drilling, sawing made it impossible to stay in the room during the day. We had to yell to communicate, that is how loud it was. We saved a recording on our phone! We had an infant with us and could not use the unit for naptime or relaxation time. The noises sounded like they were right inside our unit. We called management,they basically said they have no control over that. I think it is their job to know there is construction going on immediately next to and below us. That unit should not have been rented. On a better note, when the above issues are resolved, the unit is in a wonderful location within the complex. Immediately down the elevator is the pool and the beach. The beach is very clean and so is the pool. Private beach with access to water sports rental only one building down the beach. Hobie Cats, Kayaks, Paddle Boards, Jet Ski's. The room had a fantastic view. Nice balcony with nice furniture to either eat or relax. It is a gated community and very safe. Nice restaurants close by, shopping, and activities all close.

Condo was clean, but somewhat dated. Two flimsy beach chairs, but after complaining two nice beach chairs, and cooler, and umbrella were delivered. The balcony view is outstanding, and the south end of Marco is pretty quiet. The beach is sand and crushed shells and the water was crystal clear and a smooth gradual incline.
We will return to this area on a regular basis.

We loved marco. The location was perfect. The condo was a great size, however the condo really needs to be updated. New carpet, paint, new furniture( except dining room table and hutch). New comforters, sheets , towels. Some towels had stains and holes on them. Didn't have basics, like extra toilet paper , dish washing detergent. I mean it was clean, but in desperate need of a make over.
We did have a lovely time on the beach and nice view too.

When we first entered the condo, it had a musky smell,like it hadn't been stayed in for awhile. The first thing we had to buy was toilet paper. There were only the rolls in the bathroom. There were not enough wash cloths. For as much as I paid, I expected at least to supply a little more toilet paper and wash cloths.

Loved it, we'll be back.

Great

Great

Everything was great! We have stayed in this unit before and it's always very clean. My chairs from last year were still there so that was aplus. The downside of the condo was that the king size bed needs to be badly replaced. I will inquire about this before renting again as it made it quite uncomfortable to sleep.

It was great, we loved it easy access no complaints great for the kids, very safe
We had a great time our room was awesome. Very well stocked.
Coming back again it a must.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The location was ideal, the condos were comfortable and large. The condo does need updating(fridge & curtains) and we did find some garbage under one of the beds. This is the best place we have stayed in Marco Is. We hope to return.

Loved Somerset location! However, the unit we stayed in needs to be updated. No beach chairs, coolers etc. We have stayed at other properties and usually if you are beachfront these are provided. Management company was excellent from booking till departure. I would stay at the Somerset again but would ask for a different unit.

The views and location were perfect.We can't wait to return! The Marriott is very accomadating to non-guests. I hope that never changes!
