        <title>Just Sold - South Seas Tower 3 Unit 605</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
We just sold a fantastic unit in Tower 3 of South Seas. If you're not familiar with South Seas, it is one of the only gated communities on Marco Island. Behind the gates are evrything you could ever want in a beach condo. Obviously, there's the beach, but it's where on the beach it is that makes it special. You're located at the north end, facing southwest. You not only get a view of the full lenth of Marco Beach, but you can relax on your lanai and soak in the sunset every evening. There's a lot to love about South Seas.


Besides the beach, there's boating, too.  That's, right.  South Seas is the only development to offer the beach and boat docks on one property. You can lease a dock year-round or just for your visit. When you're not on the beach or your boat, you'll find well-maintained amenities like tennis courts, several swimming pools, shuffleboard, horseshoes and a dozen others to enjoy.


 


This particular two bedroom condo sold for $436,840 (public record). This number represents tremendous value for the dollar, too. Prices like this are disappearing on Marco Beach and for good reason. The market took a beating from 2006 through 2010 and the recovery has begun. Condos and Marco Island real estate in general was severely &quot;oversold&quot; as they say in the stock market. We are still below fair value but the days of buying homes and condos here at a discount to true value will be coming to a close in the near future. Call us for more information on this.


 


Located in Tower 3, this unit can be rented on a weekly basis. Most condos on Marco Island have minimum rental periods of 30 days. If you're an investor, this can limit your ability to maximize your rental income. Since both Towers 3 and 4 in South Seas are in the small group of buildings allowing short rentals, they are in demand, even in our slow season.

        <title>Real Estate Variety is the Spice of Marco Island</title>

Your Tropical Real Estate in Marco Island FL


Dream homes can differ greatly. For some, it’s a manwhen you consider there is property here to match almost any budget. It’s not just about luxury Marco Island real estate overlooking the beach, but golf condos and inland homes that offer quality in construction, price and lifestyle.


Of course, it is also where some of the most stunning homes anywhere in southwest Florida can be found, as well as top-class condos that provide unparalleled views of the Gulf of Mexico. Variety is the spice on the island. But what exactly are the real estate options?


Beachfront Properties


There can be no argument that the biggest attraction in Marco Island is its white sand beach, a deep luxurious four-mile strand that draws thousands of beach lovers every day. Thankfully, most real estate on Marco is at least close to the beach, while beachfront condos and waterfront homes are in plentiful supply.


And when it comes to luxury real estate, the options are superb.

A 5-bedroom home over as much as 10,000 sq ft can cost between $8 million and $10 million.


Of course, Marco Island condos on the beach are a little more price-friendly, ranging from 1-bedroom units over 600 sq ft for around $200,000, to 5-bedroom multi-million dollar penthouses over as many as 7,000 sq ft.


Waterfront Properties


Real estate on Marco Island FL is ideally suited to boat lovers, with almost 100 miles of canals and waterways ensuring access to the Gulf of Mexico is possible from almost anywhere. In fact, waterfront property is the most common in Marco Island.

For example, 3-bedroom homes over 2,300 sq ft with either private or common dock access can cost around $275,000, while luxury stuff with 5 bedrooms over 10,000 sq ft can cost over $10 million.


Typically, Marco Island condos on the waterfront range from 1-bedroom units over 500 sq ft for around $200,000 to more luxurious 2-bedroom condos over almost 1,300 sq ft for less than $600,000. Of course, luxury 3-bedroom units over 3,000 sq ft can be had for $2 million.
