1. Did you know in 2016 that Marco Island was ranked the #8 island in the United States by Trip Advisor?
2. As we write this article on February 22, 2017, it is currently 73 degrees with sunny skies all around. Why wouldn’t you want to spend February in Florida?
3. Have you seen our beach? With miles of white sand along our gulf coast, there is room for everyone to enjoy a day of fun in the sun near the water’s edge.
4. Lack of traffic. Even on our busiest days here in season, you can still move easily throughout the island.
5. Tons of golf courses just off the island.
6. Great watersports! Whether you enjoy fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, scuba diving, parasailing or jet-skiing, Marco Island has it all and so much more.

Are you an avid golfer or someone who casually enjoys spending a couple hours out on the course? The Naples/Marco Island area is full of fantastic golf courses for people of all skill levels. Whether you are a beginner or hit it like the pros, here are a couple courses open to the public that we recommend on your next trip to Marco Island & Naples.
1. Lely Resort is home to two courses that are open to the public, the Flamingo Island and the Mustang. At these courses, you will find two drastically different golf courses. The Mustang is wide open where the Flamingo Island course is a little tighter. Both are fantastic layouts.
2. Hibisucs is a beautiful golf course located on the south end of Naples. The course is a little over 6,400 yards from the back tee box and is a family friendly place to enjoy a round of golf.
3. Eagle Lakes is an enjoyable golf course located on the east side of US 41. Here you will find a great test of golf with the course measuring over 7,100 yards should you choose to play such a distance!

Have you seen all the construction work going on near our branch office at 267 N Collier Blvd here in Marco Island? If not, there is a ton of work going on so pardon the dust! First, our friends at Joey’s Pizza have renovated the entire inside of the restaurant! Go inside and you will certainly be impressed. They did a fantastic job. In addition, the parking lot between Joey’s and Doreen’s Cup of Joe is currently under construction. The reason is because the parking lot is being reconfigured to make parking easier for everyone. They are changing the way in which customers and guest enter and leave the lots. Lastly, Doreen’s Cup of Joe is also expanding. When finished, their restaurant will expand further across the first floor which will create more tables for customers enjoy breakfast or lunch! The building will also be undergoing a beautiful face lift! Looking for more information about news in our area? Reach out to us anytime!

Good Morning,
Yesterday, we had an opportunity to see Donna Fiala speak at a Realtor event. For those of you that don’t know, Donna Fiala is the District 1 commissioner in Collier County and has done a tremendous job serving our community. The focus of the event was to talk about what is new in Marco and the southern parts of Naples. Donna informed us that the restaurant, Skillets will be opening very soon. Skillets is located across the street from Verona Walk on the outside of the Lely Resort community. Speaking of that area, she informed us about the updates at Collier Blvd (951) and US 41. The Texas Roadhouse is under construction and they are looking to add a few more restaurants in that area. At the top of the list are a sports bar, an Applebees, and possibly a Chick fil-a. The Kmart is currently looking for a new tenant. The Chipotle restaurant will be finished this spring. For those of you who may have heard about BJ’s coming to our area near Collier Blvd and Davis Blvd, they are still working on a few logistics regarding stoplights but progress has been made. Lastly, in front of the Wal-Mart just south of Collier and 41 there is a new mattress store coming soon. Looking for more information about our area? Reach out to us anytime!
