Eagles Nest Beach Resort, Marco Island

Well, I am 15 years old, and have gone every year of my life. My parents have owned a timeshare for over 20 years, and this resort has been involved with my family for over 35 years. This resort is right on the beach, with two hot tubs, and a nice pool (Even though its a little small). There IS a massage dude who gives massages, but ive never gone, and there is a certain day when it is available. Every room has a balchony, but not every room has a good view. All of the rooms are spotless, they keep the place very nice, and every year or two me and my family notice a change of some sort, such as new curtains, new paint etc. In the tower, there is a workout room with a sauna, a pool table, ping pong table, raquetball room, tennis court, and pool volleyball on certain days. If you get bored, you simply have no life, because the people are excellent, the area is perfect, the family time is priceless, and events you will never forget. If you seem to get bored with water volleyball, there are 2 nets in the sand in front of The Mariot, which is right next to the Eagles Nest. Just turn right at the end of the boardwalk. If you get curious as to what is inside the Mariot fence, just walk in, there is nobody to stop you. Theres enough pool for you there, trust me. Other than that, dont go to the mariot, go to the beach. Moving on, The place is a freakin paradise, when I say it I mean it. The staff keep it clean outside, with great weather 90% of the time. If it rains, it probably wont last long (Besides a hurricane..duhhh). They have good security, just dont lose your key of course. Rooms have elevators with the exception of maybe 10 rooms. Handicapp accessibility may be a problem. If somebody is wheelchair bound on the trip, you absolutely can make your way around, just in different ways. My brother is wheelchair bound, he gets around just fine. Now to the beach, there are lounge chairs with umbrellas up for rental. You can parasail for somewhere around 70 bucks a person, and you can take out a Jetski for 75, and you can ride around in the Gulf for 30 minutes. If you are 15 or older, bring photo ID, they will let you drive a Jetski alone!!!! Theres also this Fun Bunch for little kids to get away from the parents for like 2 hours, trust me its a good 2 hours =). Notice how I am still talking after all this time, this should send you a message in your brain saying, "Wow, this would actually be alot of fun!" Because thats what you should be saying, its more fun every year with the more friends you make, I forgot to tell you there are public grills if you want to cook a steak or have a cookout. There are enough resturaunts in the area to blow your life savings on fantastic food, theres enough beach to run on, walk on, play sports on, get sunburned, or lay down on. Get married on the beach, why the hell not, I see people do it every year. Go fishing, go sailing. Swim in the Gulf. Look at the beautiful sunset from your room or the beach. The possibilities are endless like blowing the kite in the wind, or blowing away in a hurricane. Just kidding chances are the weather will be fine all the time. All jokes aside, take the trip, good for the family and I think even better for a date of just two people. You can get lost in this place, theres always things going on, I forgot Bingo by the pool. You can win alot of money if you're lucky. 1 week is not enough, go for 2 if you can, the price is worth it. I dont know what the price is, but do it anyway, trust me you cant go wrong.

When viewing pictures online I was not expecting much but the place is beautiful! The rooms are great. Huge screened in balcony. 2 bathrooms, 3 tvs...Great open kitchen. The kids LOVED it. They want to go back every year. They even said they would rather go to Marco Island than back to Disney or a cruise. Theres not much to do at the resort except the pool which is small and can get crowded. Also the store was often closed. The people are so nice and the beach is beautiful. We were pleasantly surprised at the accomodations and will probably return in the future. I would recommend this resort to any family.

I started going to Eagles Nest apprx. 13 years ago with friends who owned there. Had visited on three different occasions before I bought a 2 BR Villa about 7 years ago and have been going there every year. My son is 10 years old and says if he lives to be 100 years old he wants to go there every year. It is very family oriented...accommodations are wonderful. The staff...I could not say enough about them. Pool side bingo, fun bunch, welcoming party in the lobby, water sports and exercise, sunsets (to say the least), walking on the beach. To see the same people who also go every year the same time you are there. You make friends so easily. Did I forget to mention pool side massages? Yes, love them! It is such a relaxing place. You choose how much activity you want to be involved in...there is plenty to do on Marco Island, Naples and nearby areas. Would not miss the trip and am gearing up to go again in August. We have two weeks back to back. As someone else said...what a way to gear down the summer since we are from Virginia. The Rhinehart's

So many wonderful things to say about Eagle's Nest. We have been going there for the past 20+ years and have had a fantastic time every time. Great for kids, families and singles. So much to do on the island and the resort. Staff is top notch as are the activities. Like a home away from home.

Have been back every year for ten years and will continue to do so as long as possible. It is paradise on earth. It is friendly, fun and the staff all know you. Many local restaurants at all prices, wonderful local library and fabulous beaches and sunsets. So much to do it is not possible to recount it all.

Eagles Nest has been our home away from home every October. WE have been going to Marco Island, Eagles Nest Resort for 25 years. The resort is clean, friendly and the view is magnificent. Our children are 20 and 25 and they still enjoy going to The Eagles Nest. Susan

My family and I have vacationed on Marco Island for years at most of the Hotels and privately owned properties, but no where have we enjoyed our vacations as much as when we are at Eagles Nest. My Children wish they could live here year round and even after two weeks my wife and I hate leaving. The Villas are the way to go..views of the pool, the beach and awesome sunsets. The Villas are spacious, clean, comfortable, all the comforts of home. The staff is quick to answer/address any questions/issues. The pool side activities are great, especially for families. There are plenty of restaurants around if you don't want to make dinner and attractions that are not too far away....golfing is pretty good too.

We stayed at the Eagles Nest for a week with my daughter, her kid, my husband, and my sister, her husband, her two kids, and my sister and I's parents. Now, we each had 2 rooms, where myself, husband, my daughter and her kid stayed. Everyone else was in another room. We were on the 7th floor. Easily the best floor in the condo. You could see everything (I'm exaggerating), plus when it stormed, we got a very cool lightning "show". Anyways, our rooms were very big, and it consisted of a living space, a kitchen with many cabinets, a master bedroom with a huge master bathroom, another room with two twin beds, and a pull-out bed that is originally a couch. We also (everyone does) had a patio on the back, where I'm sure that my grandson, my sisters kids, my sister, and I stayed most of our stay. You could see nothing but ocean, and the rest of the resort of the Eagles Nest, plus the neighboring condo complex. In the morning, you could see the most spectacular sunrise, in my opinion, you'll ever see in your life. Now, downstairs, there is a pool, two, yes, two hot tubs, that are not age-restricted, so minors can be in both, plus two bridges leading to the beach. On the beach, you can rent beach chairs and umbrellas (we brought our own, though). Every so often a day, a man that owns his own business take you (eight people if I remember correctly) and your family out to some really small islands right off of Marco Island (I think the islands are called Dickmans Islands if I do recall correctly). There, you have 45- an hour to find shells of different kinds, plus HUGE, and yes, I actually used caps for that one, HUGE sand-dollars. Anyways, the owner/driver offers many seats, and you can sit on the front of the boat, the back, or anywhere else (he specifies, but I do not recall where he said) and offers free refreshments to-from. On the way, we saw many Dolphins and other sea animals. When you got back, you can rent a jet-ski to go jet-skiing. That was really fun. So, as you can see, there is much to do just on the Eagles Nest grounds, plus so much more off grounds. Everything that you could ever want in a vacation, is here. That includes standard cable and wireless internet (in the main lobby, which was quite busy with people using their laptops). The kitchen, while it is not stocked with food (you can call ahead to get it stocked with whatever you might want), there are many supermarkets right up the road, such as Publix and Winn-Dixie to name some. So, like I said, this is everything you'd expect at your own house, just "a vacation with the vacation experience you deserve" If you have any questions about this complex, chances are that the answer is "yes".

It feels like you are home with all these advantages.I will definitely recomment it to my friends. It is very nice throughout the year. Service is very good, rooms clean. The only thing I don't like - staying in line to use an internet.
