Marco Island Property - The Stuff of Dreams

Every home hunter has a good idea what kind of property they want – known simply as their dream home. The challenge is to find the closest match. Lovers of beach life and bright blue skies tend to find what they are looking for fairly easily among Marco Island property.

The reason is quite simply because Marco Island condos and single family homes are located either on the beachfront or within a few minutes’ stroll from it. Of course, the popularity of the island means that demand for these properties is high. But if you have the budget to suit, some of the most desirable luxury Marco Island homes and condos, with spectacular views of the Gulf of Mexico, are within reach too. Here is a taste of what you can expect.

Beachfront Properties

Living just a few feet from a sandy white tropical beach is arguably the key reason why home hunters want to buy a Marco Island property. Thankfully, the selection of beachfront properties is considerable, so regardless of your budget, that dream can become a reality.

For example, buying a Marco Island condo that is situated on the beachfront is not difficult at all. In fact, the available condos range from 1-bedroom properties over 750 sq ft for around $200,000, to 5-bedroom penthouse properties over 7,000 sq ft with unobstructed panoramic views of the gulf for about $8 million.

For luxury Marco Island homes, the selection is narrower, but the impression left by the palatial properties is striking. 

Waterfront Properties

Marco Island’s developers wanted to create an idyllic home for the type of people drawn to the aqua blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico - basically, boat owners. As a result, the vast majority of Marco Island property is located by water.
