About this property

Have yourself a tropical vacation on The Gulf of Mexico in Marco Island Florida!

Upon arrival to Southseas, one has to register the dates of their stay with the management office in the lobby for a $100 fee made payable to Southseas Northwest . In turn, a parking permit will be issued which allows for entry to the property, garage, and overnight parking.

Unit 1102-3 is a beautiful beachfront condo with ocean and sunset views! This 11th-floor condo has been completely renovated and is equipped with everything one needs to enjoy a great stay. From this condo, you get to see the beachfront location, with views from the condo of the pool, the ocean, the sunsets, and also views of the Bayside, with views of the tennis and pickleball courts, some of the boat docks, the bay, the City of Marco, and on a clear day, both the Captain SS Jolley Bridge and The Stan Gober Bridge off in the distance! From the balcony that spans the living room and master bedroom and overlooks the Gulf of Mexico, you will have a perfect view of the very pretty grounds at South Seas North West, including the lovely geothermally heated swimming pool, the Gulf of Mexico's beautiful blue ocean, the dolphins at play, a great variety of boats, the natural preserve and the magnificent Southwest Florida nightly sunsets that are always changing and always beautiful! If you have never seen these sunsets before, you will love watching that sun look as if it is sinking into the ocean. It is a very still and tranquil experience to take part in watching from the beach, your balcony, living room, master bedroom, or kitchen, but definitely best seen from outside on the balcony!

I have added many wonderful upgrades to my condo for the enjoyment and comfort of each guest.
The newest feature that I am excited to offer inside my condominium is a New A/C system designed with a state-of-the-art air purification system designed to clean and purify the air of pollutants and odors, most importantly killing bacteria, mold, and viruses including the dreaded Covid! Guests can enjoy this very clean condo knowing the air quality is as good as it gets! Additionally, for your comfort, in the bedrooms and living room, there are lighted ceiling fans with various speeds, an all-new water heater, and all new appliances and fixtures of excellent quality to give the best and most comfortable stay for my family and to each of my guests. There is high-speed WiFi in the condo and in the bedrooms and living room, Smart TVs, with a very large screen in the Living Room.

For your comfort and convenience, at the kitchen counter, I offer stools and electrical outlets designed for your computers, tablets, and phones to be used, and a dimmer switch to control your desired lighting. Across from the kitchen you will find is a well-stocked utility closet unique to my condo, I try to stock trash liners, paper towels, toilet paper, dish detergent, and other extras of so many everyday items to help keep your vacation just that by reducing your need to run to the market for every little thing that you wouldn’t think about until you have settled into your rental and realize it is missing some basic everyday needs.

You will find a kitchen so well stocked with all the gadgets ever needed to cook, bake, or to keep it simple by just serving a tray of cheese and crackers, and with what’s needed to open a bottle of wine or remove a bottle top…in short, you will have it all! The linen closet is also stocked with fresh linens, fluffy towels, beach towels, laundry basket iron, and an ironing board.
In the bedrooms, you will find comfortable mattresses, and pillows are offered with quality bedding and a King-Size bed for the Master Bedroom and a Queen-Size Bed for the Queen Bedroom.
In the bathrooms, you will find a choice of a traditional bathtub with a showerhead that can easily convert to a handheld device or a walk-in shower with a detachable handheld shower. For convenience, there is a hairdryer located in each bathroom.

This condo is beautifully decorated, well thought out, bright, comfortable, well-equipped, and ready to help offer you a comfortable, enjoyable, relaxing, and stress-free quality vacation by the sea!

Also, for your convenience, you will have a designated locker located near the elevators used specifically for all beach equipment. Just bring your sunscreen and bathing suit, beach bag, hat, and be ready to find all else that you will need for the beach! Kept in that designated locker, for your needs, are four beach chairs, a beach umbrella, a large and a smaller cooler, beach toys, beach noodles, and a beach cart that is designed to hold and transport with ease all the beach “stuff” as its large wheels allow for easy transport from the building over the sand to the shoreline. Once at the shoreline you will have arrived with everything that you need to spend as much time you want. The sand is white and sparkly, the shells are plentiful, the ocean has no strong currents or drop-offs to be concerned with, the warm water is soft, blue. The beach walking opportunity stretches on for miles, the nature, the seashore birds, and wildlife are varied and fun to observe. When you are in the mood for the pool, it is also just steps from the building and is a beautiful pool designed to heat naturally through a geothermal system. There is a poolside attendant and it is equipped with chaise lounge chairs, some tables with chairs, and a thatched shaded area with seating.

A well-equipped, bright, comfortable, relaxing, enjoyable, oceanfront condo, awaits you!!

clean, attractive unit
We were so happy to check in and see such a very clean and attractive unit. Our whole stay was enjoyable, the accommodations extremely comfortable. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen more than well equipped. We loved the views, restful just sitting on the balcony and soaking it in. The giant pool, never very many swimmers, and hot tub were perfect. Joyce has thought of everything, and is an excellent hostess, attending speedily and courteously to any question which arose. All in all, it was a grea stay. We'll consider November again in the future. Weather was like our trips in March, in the 80's, but without the crowds. Thank you, Joyce.

Amazing vacation
My friend and I spent a week at the property. We had the most relaxing vacation we’ve ever had. We went to the beach, the pool, the bars, the restaurants…the location was incredible…with the exception of a couple of restaurants that we found, everything was within walking distance. We didn’t bring or rent a car. If we went somewhere not within walking distance, we got an Uber. We never had to wait more than 5 minutes for an Uber and the Uber rides were inexpensive. Everone at the property and in town were so friendly. The property itself was beautiful. It felt brand new. We spent most nights on the couches watching movies and it was the perfect place to lounge - comfortable and cozy. The bedrooms were beautiful and the beds were so comfortable. The kitchen was full-size and had everything you could possibly need to feel at home. Finally, the views were incredible. We spent hours a day on the balcony watching the water and the people and wildlife. Our host, Joyce, was lovely and so friendly and easy to work with. We will definitely be back next year - probably more than once! This was a dream vacation. Thank you Joyce!

Newly decorated property. Very nice pool and beach areas. Great communication with the owner. Tucked away on Marco so not as easy to walk to shops or restaurants. Construction at the facility 8-4 daily was noisy but we still enjoyed our stay.

Incredible week in a gorgeous condo
We stayed here for a week late-October into early November and it was wonderful. Joyce is the most incredible host, so friendly and responsive, just a joy to communicate with. The condo is everything it says it is and more. We LOVED the location, close to the best part of the beach (Tigertail), comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and toiletries, quick access to restaurants, great shopping, groceries, etc. Beautiful sunsets ended every one of our days. Totally recommend this spot, and we all agreed that we'd go back and stay here again!

Vacation Paradise
Amazing views of the Gulf and spectacular sunsets! This is a beautiful unit in new condition and very clean. It is fully furnished and comes with everything anyone could want or need for a perfect vacation getaway. Marco Island beaches are among the best in Florida, and this unit is located on beautiful Tigertail Beach. The pool is very large and has beach chairs, tables, umbrellas, and tiki huts. We felt very secure in this quiet, gated community. The owner, Joyce, was a pleasuure to work with. She responded quickly to our every need. We are definitely coming back next summer! Enjoy!

Beautiful Beachfront Condo
This condo has been tastefully updated and has been well provisioned with everything you might need. While the condo is beachfront, with a wonderful view, the walk to the beach is quite far, but well worth the walk. The owner/manager communicates extremely well and leaves no issues unattended. The private property is quite nicely maintained and has a gym and beautiful pool area. We shared the unit with another couple and found plenty of space for the four of us. Five star for sure.

Week stay for spring break.
My wife, 18 year old son and myself stayed at the condo for a week during spring break. Prior to the trip we were in touch with Joyce who was very informative and provided us with the keys to the condo ahead of our trip. Check in was easy. We arrived after hours and received a temporary pass at the gate without an issue. The unit is spacious and clean. Plenty of kitchen utensils. Beds were very comfortable. Smart TVs in every room. Very quiet at night. Nothing beats waking up in the morning to an ocean view and having breakfast on the balcony. The condo has a storage room with everything that you need ( including a cart to carry everything to the beach ). We are passed the point of beach toys, but plenty of them were available. Highly recommended. Will definitely return.

Marco Island - Sea Tower 3 - March 2024
Our stay this year in Marco Island was wonderful! The condo was perfect. I wish it was available next March! Our only critique is the onboarding process. Getting thru the gate the first day and obtaining parking/bicycle passes was really painful. The condo association needs to invest in technology where we could do the onboarding online prior to our arrival.

Great Condo
Joyce was a pleasure to talk to and answered all of our questions very quickly. She was easy to get a hold of and we actually got to meet her. Great person and great host. The condo was very clean and very comfortable. This condo has everything you need inside and everything you need for the beach too. The owners locker has everything (coolers, umbrellas, wagon and two wheeler to bring your stuff out to the beach with). We would absolutely rent this condo again. Highly recommend. Note for renters who park a car…. Get the $20 “fast pass” to get through the security gate. Many times there is a “back up” at the gate and this made it very quick and easy to get through.
