Parts of the island have some scenic, high elevations relative to the generally flat south Florida landscape. The island has a tropical climate; specifically a tropical wet and dry or savanna type (Aw under the Köppen system). It is known for its distinct wet and dry seasons, with most of the rainfall falling between the months of June and October. Marco Island is a principal city of the Naples–Marco Island Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 15,760 at the 2020 census.[4] The population more than doubles in size during the winter season. Two bridges provide road access to the island via Florida State Road 951 and County Road 92. Located on the island is the JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort, the Hilton Marco Island Resort, a golf club, a yacht club, a country club, and several parks and nature areas. The 6-mile (9.7 km) crescent beach on Marco Island is among the widest in Florida and features white sugar sand and shelling opportunities. Beach regulations are in place against litter, noise, glass, and fires. There are two public access locations with parking and amenities (Tigertail and South Beach), a private beach complex for residents (Residents' Beach), and a private parking area for residents (Sarazen Park at South Beach), and two other public access points (with no amenities). Offshore island beaches, such as Keewaydin, are accessible by boat or tour. Marco Island is a city and barrier island in Collier County, Florida, located 20 miles (32 km) south of Naples on the Gulf Coast of the United States. It is the largest barrier island within Southwest Florida's Ten Thousand Islands area, which extends southerly to Cape Sable. Marco Island is home to an affluent beach community with resort amenities.
The history of Marco Island can be traced as far back as 500 CE when the Calusa people inhabited the island as well as the rest of southwest Florida. A number of Calusa artifacts were discovered on Key Marco (an island then adjacent to, and since attached to Marco Island) in 1896 by anthropologist Frank Hamilton Cushing as part of the Pepper-Hearst Expedition. The most notable artifact discovered was the carved wooden "Key Marco Cat," which is now on display at the Smithsonian Institution. The artifact is featured on a 1989 postage stamp. When Spanish explorers came to the island in the mid-1500s, they gave the island the name La Isla de San Marcos after Gospel writer St. Mark. Early development of the island began in the late 1800s after the arrival of William Thomas Collier and his family. Collier founded the village of Marco on the island in 1870, and in 1896 Collier's son, William D. "Capt. Bill" Collier, opened a hotel on the island, known today as the Olde Marco Inn. Clam digging became a major industry on Marco Island and throughout the Ten Thousand Islands in the early 1900s. The Burnham Clam Cannery began operation near Caxambas Pass in 1903 and operated until 1929. The Doxsee Clam Cannery also operated from 1911 to 1947. Ferry service began to the island in 1912, which operated between Marco Island and the Isles of Capri. A road on the mainland linked the ferry landing with East Naples (just west of State Road 951). A small piece of this road still exists today and is known as Barefoot Williams Road. Barron G. Collier (whom Collier County is named after, and of no relation to William T. Collier) purchased a large amount of land on Marco Island in 1922, and in 1927 the island incorporated as Collier City. Collier City was abolished in 1957. James Harvey Doxsee Sr. served as Collier City's only mayor. Also in 1927, the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad began service to the island after extending their route from Fort Myers and Naples. The railroad ran to the island along the present route of State Road 951. Rail service was discontinued in 1944. The first vehicle bridge to the island was a small wooden swing bridge built in 1938 near Goodland on the southeast side of the island. Remnants of this bridge can be seen today next to the current Goodland Bridge (built in 1975). The island's ferry service was discontinued after the original Goodland Bridge opened. Significant development of Marco Island took place in the 1960s that made it into the tourist destination it is known as today. The Mackle brothers of the Deltona Corporation led the development of the island after purchasing large amounts of land there for $7 million. As a result of development, the S.S. Jolley Bridge opened for traffic in 1969. Marco Island was reincorporated as a city on August 28, 1997. On September 10, 2017, Hurricane Irma made landfall as a Category 3 hurricane on the island. On September 29, 2022, Hurricane Ian submerged the entire island after making landfall as a Category 4 hurricane.[citation needed]
I wish I could give -0 Be aware: their pricing are outrageous, the service is terrible. They absolutely lie about the diagnosis and charge you for it. The technician came twice to first One took 30 minutes just to take a screw off did not check anything I mean bear diagnostics on my condenser and told me that I needed a new unit, charged me $90 For the visit and left I was on the phone with the manufacturer which they told me the the unit is still under warranty but they needed proof of diagnostic in order for them to ship me a new one. I called and they sent me another one with a huge attitude he Charge me $500 to detect a leak and he told me the main condenser had a leak and needed to be replaced. The quote just for installation was $2000 The manufacturer sent me a new unit I hired to replace the unit, The manufacturer told me the price for just installing a new condenser was outrageous and to look for another installer which I did they installed the new condenser it was running everything fine until the next day the unit was out of refrigerant turns out the condenser was perfectly that fine the leak or someplace else and they didn’t bother to do a thorough check in the charge me $500 on top of the $90 for the first visit. Fast forward now I had to pay a technician to check the truly now where is the leak and I’ve been two weeks with no air conditioning here in southwest Florida. Listen to the true review know those five star they’re probably fake because those people are absolutely criminals
Jeff from Best home services was very knowledgeable and friendly. He took time to explain everything about the issues my system was having so I could understand what we were paying for. I confirmed everything he showed me and he seemed very honest. He was very respectful of my home and made sure to call me ahead of time when he was on his way to our appointment.
Cameron was so professional and thorough! 10/10 would recommend! He made the whole process easy and stress free. Jeff came to look at my A/C and didn’t play any games. He was straight forward and explained everything to me. He was absolutely professional and trustworthy. 10/10 again!!!
