ABOUT US
Apollo 1001 sits in Marco Island’s calm southwestern corner — right on south beach — the part of the island we’ve returned to for decades. One of us began visiting with her family in the ‘70s, and by the ‘80s we were coming together at every opportunity. The entire island is special, but this quieter stretch—with its expansive sunset views and calming pace—quickly became the spot that felt most like home.
The condo’s top-floor location adds privacy and distance from the activity below — more importantly, no high heels at 2 a.m. from above! Right on the beach, with easy boardwalk access, makes it simple to head to the sand and surf any time of day. The building’s smaller size (only 90 units) also creates a more intimate and neighborly feel.
Apollo 1001 is furnished for comfort and practicality. The fully equipped kitchen supports real cooking, full-size washer and dryer eases a long stay, WiFi is fast and reliable, and four smart TVs make downtime or rainy days easy. Beach gear is plentiful and occasionally grows as guests leave useful items for others. The space prioritizes ease, durability, and a setup that works for longer stays.
The space works well for family trips, quiet getaways, and extended stays. The layout supports relaxed days on the beach, simple meals or carryout at home, unhurried morning coffee and sunset cocktails on the balcony. It’s a steady, uncomplicated home base within walking distance of restaurants, mini-golf, and everything on the south end.
Guests can expect a comfortable, welcoming space that’s easy to sink into and relax. The goal is simple: a calm environment with direct access to the beach, a slower pace than the busier parts of the island, and the same sense of familiarity that has kept us returning to this corner of Marco Island for so many years.
Apollo 1001 gave me the perfect niche of peace and passages of productivity. A writer’s retreat, the steady lull of the waves turned silent moments unbeatably serene, the endless beach strolls a goner’s walking workshop. I stayed focused, at ease, and cookin’ up content thanks to a full kitchen, smart TVs and every last stay detail given inside guest materials. Not just a condo – a muse by the sea.

Apollo 1001 has got to be our Marco Island lodging fave. This quiet, top-floor condo with its soft ocean hum offered us the calm escape we crave. Mornings were filled with tennis, days with paddleboarding, and unbeatable seafood each evening, our hosts’ fav locales listed were spot-on. So tucked just away we could relax, but still in the thick of island activity, it’s the ultimate blend.

Rounding the last corner before the Jolley Bridge, we were giddy with anticipation, but the view from Apollo 1001’s balcony took our breaths away. Our kids sprinted to the beach-themed bedroom, selecting games for our family night. Beach access and on-site dining were so convenient. A collection of beach gear? Now that’s how to WOW! Now we’ll be dreaming it again all the while until we return!
