Marco Island • 900 S Collier Boulevard • South Beach • Weekly-Rental Gulf-Front Condominiums
The Apollo of Marco Island is a distinctive direct beachfront condominium at 900 S Collier Boulevard on the southern end of Marco Island's Crescent Beach. The ten-story building contains approximately 90 privately owned residences, all positioned to take advantage of the Gulf-front setting.
Apollo is especially unusual within the Marco Island beachfront market because it combines compact one-bedroom vacation residences with a much smaller group of substantially larger three-bedroom homes.
The building also combines weekly rental flexibility with direct beach access, heated pool and spa, fitness facilities, tennis and an on-site beachfront restaurant, Sunset Grille.
That combination gives Apollo a different ownership profile from the large luxury towers immediately north and the residential Cape Marco communities to the south.
Apollo's floor-plan mix is one of the building's most important characteristics.
The condominium association identifies compact 504-square-foot one-bedroom residences together with large three-bedroom residences advertised by the association at approximately 1,400 square feet.
Current MLS and public-record measurements for individual three-bedroom homes can be closer to approximately 1,288 square feet of recorded living area.
This difference illustrates why buyers should compare the actual legal and MLS living area for the residence rather than relying on a general building brochure.
Most Apollo inventory consists of efficient one-bedroom, one-bath beachfront residences.
The condominium association publishes approximately 504 square feet of interior living area for its one-bedroom suites.
These residences typically provide a living and dining area, kitchen, bedroom, bath and private Gulf-facing balcony or lanai.
Their relatively compact size can reduce the amount of interior space that an owner must maintain and furnish while still delivering a direct Marco Island beachfront location.
For a rental-oriented buyer, efficient square footage can also make replacement of furnishings, flooring and appliances less expensive than in a larger luxury condominium.
Apollo's three-bedroom residences form a much different segment of the building's market.
Current MLS-derived records demonstrate three-bedroom homes around 1,288 square feet, while the Apollo association describes its large three-bedroom residence category at approximately 1,400 square feet.
These larger homes can accommodate families and groups seeking the same short-term rental flexibility as Apollo's one-bedroom units but with substantially more sleeping and living space.
Current rental information for individual three-bedroom Apollo homes also demonstrates in-residence laundry and occupancy designed for larger groups.
The Apollo Condominium Association describes all 90 residences as offering ocean or Gulf views.
The quality and width of those views still varies according to stack and floor height.
Higher-floor residences can provide a broader horizon over the Gulf of Mexico, while lower-floor units maintain a closer visual relationship with the beach, tropical landscaping and pool area.
Buyers should inspect the actual view from the living room, bedroom and normal seated position on the balcony rather than relying exclusively on a listing description.
Apollo occupies one of the southernmost direct Gulf-front positions on Marco Island's main beach.
Owners and registered guests can move directly from the condominium property onto the white sand without crossing South Collier Boulevard or driving to a public beach access.
This direct beach relationship is important for both owner enjoyment and vacation-rental demand.
Swimming, shelling, beach walking and sunset viewing are immediately accessible from the condominium.
Private balconies extend Apollo residences toward the Gulf.
For a compact one-bedroom residence, the balcony can represent an especially important part of the overall living experience by adding usable outdoor space beyond the air-conditioned interior.
Balcony furniture, flooring, railing condition, privacy and storm protection should therefore be included in any buyer comparison.
For rental-oriented owners, an attractive Gulf-facing balcony can also be an important feature when marketing the residence to vacation guests.
Apollo is widely recognized as one of Marco Island's beachfront condominiums with 7-day rental flexibility.
Current rental listings for both one- and three-bedroom residences identify seven-day minimum stays, and longstanding Marco Island condominium information identifies Apollo's rental policy as weekly.
This gives owners greater flexibility than buildings requiring 30-, 60- or 90-day minimum leases.
The Apollo association also states that individual residences are privately owned and individually managed and that the condominium itself does not operate an onsite leasing program.
Apollo's combination of direct beachfront location, compact one-bedroom inventory and weekly rental flexibility can make rental analysis an important component of a purchase.
However, two identical-size Apollo condos may produce different results because of floor level, Gulf view, renovation, furnishings, availability during peak season and guest reviews.
One of Apollo's most distinctive amenities is Sunset Grille, an on-site beachfront restaurant.
The Apollo association specifically identifies the restaurant as part of the property's amenity environment, providing food and beverage service in a Gulf-front setting known for sunset views.
Having a restaurant within the condominium property is uncommon among Marco Island beachfront buildings.
For owners and vacation guests, it can provide the convenience of walking to food and drinks without leaving the beachfront property.
Apollo provides a heated swimming pool and spa for residents and registered guests.
The pool area creates an alternative to Gulf swimming while remaining within the same beachfront environment.
The current association rules specify operating procedures and resident and guest use requirements for the pool and spa.
Buyers should also review pool-related reserve planning and planned capital work as part of normal condominium due diligence.
The condominium provides a dedicated fitness center for owners and registered guests.
This allows residents to combine indoor exercise with beach walking, swimming and tennis without leaving the property.
Current equipment and operating hours should be inspected during a showing because fitness facilities may be updated over time.
Apollo maintains tennis facilities as part of its recreation package.
The association publishes specific tennis-court rules, including court-time limits when other residents are waiting.
Current court condition and scheduling procedures should be reviewed by buyers for whom tennis is an important part of the ownership experience.
The Apollo association confirms laundry facilities on every residential floor.
This is particularly relevant to the compact one-bedroom residence category.
Larger three-bedroom Apollo homes may have different laundry arrangements, including in-residence washers and dryers in current properties.
The exact laundry configuration should therefore be verified for the individual condominium.
Current Apollo rules identify a garage-assigned parking space plus additional perimeter parking rights associated with residential units, subject to current registration procedures.
Renters and guests must follow the current front-desk registration and parking-tag requirements.
Buyers should confirm the precise garage space associated with the residence and understand whether additional parking rights differ for owners, renters and guests.
Current Apollo MLS records identify secured elevator, lobby and entry features.
Owners and renters also register through the building under current association procedures.
Controlled access can be particularly important in a condominium with frequent vacation-rental turnover because the building must accommodate owners, renters, guests, vendors and restaurant patrons while preserving residential security.
The Apollo association currently limits overnight occupancy based on residence category.
Its published rules identify a maximum of four overnight occupants in a one-bedroom residence and seven overnight occupants in a three-bedroom residence.
Rental-oriented buyers should understand these limits because maximum occupancy can affect both marketing and realistic rental projections.
The Apollo association's current published rules state that pets are not permitted on condominium property.
Buyers for whom animal accommodations are material should review the current governing documents and applicable legal requirements before purchasing.
Current Apollo rules identify the condominium as a smoke-free environment and prohibit smoking throughout the property.
This can be relevant both to prospective owners and to those planning vacation-rental use.
Current Apollo association rules prohibit barbecuing and other outdoor food preparation on condominium property and private balconies.
This is worth noting because nearby Marco Island condominiums may offer community grilling stations, while Apollo instead provides the unusual convenience of the on-site Sunset Grille restaurant.
Because Apollo dates from around 1990, individual residences can differ significantly in renovation history.
Current listings demonstrate homes with updated kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, furnishings and impact-resistant windows.
Other residences may retain more original components or represent renovation opportunities.
Storm protection should be verified residence by residence.
Current Apollo properties demonstrate impact-resistant window improvements in selected homes, but buyers should not assume that every unit has identical protection.
Windows, sliders and any supplemental shutter systems should be inspected individually.
Buyers should also determine association versus owner responsibility for future maintenance and replacement.
An Apollo purchase includes both the private condominium and an ownership interest in a ten-story Gulf-front building.
Direct coastal exposure creates ongoing maintenance requirements for concrete, balconies, railings, exterior coatings, windows, roofing, elevators, parking areas, waterproofing, pool equipment and mechanical systems.
Condominium assessments should be evaluated according to what they currently cover rather than by headline amount alone.
Current MLS information identifies shared costs that may include association insurance, cable or internet service, water, sewer, management, pest control, landscaping, security, recreation facilities, trash removal and reserves.
Exact inclusions should be confirmed through the current Apollo association budget.
Vacation-rental buyers should additionally budget for property taxes, unit-owner insurance, utilities not included in assessments, management, cleaning, furnishings, appliances and guest-related maintenance.
The Apollo master insurance policy and the buyer's individual condominium policy should be reviewed together.
Buyers should understand windstorm deductibles, loss-assessment coverage, interior improvements, water losses, personal property and liability protection.
When weekly rental use is intended, that use should be disclosed to the insurance professional providing the unit-owner policy.
Apollo sits at 900 S Collier Boulevard at the southern end of Marco Island's main beach corridor.
The location places residents near the South Beach public access, Caxambas area, restaurants and the Marco Walk shopping and entertainment district.
Immediately north is Sea Winds, while the gated Cape Marco luxury condominiums begin just to the south.
This position gives Apollo both a convenient South Beach location and direct access to the Gulf shoreline.
Apollo's unusual mix of small one-bedroom suites and much larger three-bedroom residences makes a single building-wide price-per-square-foot calculation particularly unreliable.
The two property types appeal to different buyers, have different occupancy potential and can generate very different rental economics.
Even among 504-square-foot one-bedroom residences, floor height, Gulf view, renovation, impact protection and rental performance can separate otherwise similar properties.
Apollo sellers should first identify the residence's exact category, recorded living area, stack, floor height, Gulf view and balcony relationship.
Renovation and storm protection should then be documented clearly.
For weekly-rental residences, actual historical rental records can help buyers evaluate prior performance, but results should be presented with context regarding owner occupancy, management costs and seasonality.
One-bedroom Apollo sales should normally form the first comparable group for another one-bedroom residence, while three-bedroom properties should be treated as their own much larger category.
Compare Apollo with other direct Gulf-front condominium communities. Residence size, rental rules, amenities, parking and association structure can vary substantially from building to building.
Apollo belongs within the broader Marco Island Waterfront Condos market, where buyers can compare direct Gulf-front condominiums with bayfront, riverfront, marina and boating-oriented communities.
