marco island real estate: Marco Island: Waterfront Home Foreclosures & Short Sales - 11/06/10 06:06 PM
When buying or selling real estate in Marco Island, contact someone that lives and works on the island.   I've lived on the island since 2001 with extensive knowledge of boating in the area.  I love the waterfront lifestyle and boating to Cape Romano, Keewaydn Island, and many areas around Marco.  Experiencing the wildlife is lots of fun with an occasional opportunity to capture a manatee in the water.  Fish, shells, and dolphins are found in abundance.
