See the island you love before it was transformed by the Mackle Brothers into the greatest place on Earth. This video was shot circa 1964, just as construction was beginning. See the original sales models that depicted the development in detail. It's fun to see the undeveloped island, now that we're so familiar with the final product of the Mackle's vision.

We have an incredible new listing in South Seas Tower 2! If you've been waiting for the perfect condo to pop up in South Seas Towers, it just did. This unit is completely updated throughout. It's got new tile and new granite in the kitchen and baths. The wall that everyone wants to be removed from the kitchen in most South Seas units has been removed, creating a modern open concept that absolutely transforms this condo into an open, airy beach house.
"Season" is in full swing on Marco Island and Florida in general. This is the time of year when the snowbirds from the frozen north fly down to thaw out under the famous Florida sunshine. Everyone is having fun having escaped the frigid grip of Mother Nature. Nothing could be more natural than wanting to buy a piece of real estate here when you realize that you're walking around in shorts in February.
The Boyle Team just sold this luxury condo in the Tampico condominium on Marco Island. Located in the ultra-luxurious Cape Marco gated community, Tampico is positioned directly on Marco Island's famous beach. At about $1.6MM, this condo offers top-of-the-line luxury and very solid investment potential.
Like the high-rise unit we talked about in our last blog post, this latest sale is a condo in the popular South Seas development.This unit is located in one of the mid-rise buildings located directly on Clam Bay on Marco Island. Fully decked out, this 2 bedroom / 2 Bath unit sold for only $405,000.
The Boyle Team just sold a spectacular unit in South Seas Tower 3. This beautifully renovated two-bedroom / two-bath condo sold for $480,000 (public record). South Seas Tower 3 (and 4, too) represent an especially good value if you want to maximize your return on investment. Unlike Towers 1 and 2, towers 3 and 4 allow weekly rentals. On an island where the vast majority of condos require 30-day rental minimums, weekly rentals are always in demand. Whereas monthly rentals do very well from December through April with the snowbirds, condos like this one rent well year-round. To see which condos allow weekly rentals and which don't, click here.
