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!! Credit card payments are accepted through VRBO.

We had a wonderful vacation in Marco Island. Our condo was very clean & comfortable. Joyce is an excellent host, who communicates well both before & during our visit. The condo was very well stocked with everything we needed. Although we read some reviews that the resort has too many rules, we disagree. The resort is kept extremely clean & well maintained, including the pool & all of the common areas. All of the staff were also very friendly & helpful. We are looking forward to returning next year!
Couldn’t ask for a better host than Joyce or a better place to stay! It’s a beautiful condo with everything you could possibly need and more! It’s absolutely beautiful and the sunsets every night were beautiful! Everything from the bedding, towels, cookware, dishes were top of the line. Very clean and staff is here is very friendly and pool was super clean as well. Great restaurants and shops nearby and beach was just a few minutes to walk to and absolutely gorgeous! We will definitely be back!

Hi Sherri, I just saw your review, so I am sorry to be responding to you so late. I appreciate your kind words and great description. I hope to have a chance to welcome you back in the future. You will be most welcome!
We’ve been going down to Marco Island for over 40 years. We’ve been renting the last 10 and this condo by far was the cleanest most up-to-date condo we have ever stayed in. It was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need and the owner choice was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I would book this place again in a heartbeat.

Hi John,
You were a wonderful guest. It would be my privilege to welcome you back.
Thank you for leaving me your special review!
Best regards,
Joyce
The condo was cozy with a great view of the ocean. The kitchen was well stocked. Enjoyed the pool, shuffleboard, and pickleball. Fyi..they have pickleballs on the courts for you to use as well as tennis racquets and balls for the tennis courts. Great location. We really enjoyed sitting out on the long balcony. Easy communication with the owner.
Great stay, all what you’re looking for in Marco Island. Joyce was always available to help, and we greatly appreciate her hospitality. The apartment is very well situated, with great local spots nearby.

Great week on Marco Island! Communication with Joyce was fantastic; condo was beautiful and the pool was great. Morning walks on the beach and a great fireworks display at the end of our week made for a wonderful vacation

Hey James, Thank you for reviewing your week at my condo! I’m so happy you had a wonderful time! I hope you will consider returning again in the future. I would live to have you back! Best regards, Joyce
The condo unit was as advertised and very comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped and has a Kuerig and the Beds were very comfortable. Didn’t get to utilize the pool as it was closed for repairs which we were advised by Joyce a few weeks in advance. The beach is very nice but is a pretty far walk (10 min) which we also knew. Balcony is very nice and great for morning coffee and viewing the sunsets. Overall we had a great week in the unit and it was tough to leave.

We had a wonderful and relaxing time in Marco. Beautiful view and the beach was great. It is a little bit of a walk to the beach but worth it.

Thank you Lisa, I’m glad that you enjoyed your vacation and I agree about the beach. It is a little bit of a walk, but it is well worth it..beautiful silky sand, seashell treasures, lots of space, gorgeous soft blue warm water, no undertow and a walking sandbar that goes on and on!
From the very beginning to the end, Joyce was amazing to work with. The property was in a great location. We absolutely loved the beach access and pool on property. We had absolutely everything we needed to stay there for a week. The condo and building were clean and just as described. The view from the condo balcony was in itself beautiful and relaxing. Not only would this be a great place to stay with friends, couples, but also a family with children. I hope to stay here next time I’m in Marco Island

Hi Maria, Thanks for your great review! As much as you appreciated me and staying at my condo, I appreciated you! You were thoughtful and thorough and I truly believe hope to welcome you back!
Joyce was a pleasure to work with and very helpful to ensure we understood all her gifted amenities. TheCondo has two great views, sunrise and better sunsets. When there is Aug the heat drives you in doors and her Condo was the perfect relaxing spot to watch movies through our amazon account. Thank you when Marco is our destination we would love to stay here again. Ran n Chel

Hi Randy, I don't recall ever seeing your review before, so I am just responding now. I love the pictures you posted, and your awesome review of my condo and me! Thank you very much. When Marco is your destination again, I hope to welcome you back!
Beautiful location, condo, and beaches, but it was truly the small things that made this a pleasant stay. The condo had a great supply of cooking utensils, towels, book, literature, sunscreen, beach toys, etc. For a family like ours that wanted to cook some healthy dinners, and spend time at the condo and beach, this stay was very convenient and loved that didn’t have to go out of my way very much. Highly recommend!

Hi Kenny, Thankbyou for your great review! I enjoy cooking in sometimes as well so Ivam gratified to hear praise about my kitchen being well stocked. I want my guests to feel at home having just what they need as am so happy that you were able to enjoy doing some cooking! I hope to welcome you back in the future. Best regards, Joyce
We had such an amazing week in Marco Island. The condo was great and loved all of the finishes. They outdid themselves from decor to having everything we possibly could need to feel like home. We enjoyed our time and the pool and beach. The communication with the owner was wonderful. She answered all my questions in a timely manner. Will definitely keep this one as reference for future visits.
The accommodation was nice, clean, and very comfortable—just what we needed for some rest and relaxation. The location is fantastic, with a beautiful view that we really enjoyed. The host was incredibly responsive and accommodating, which made our stay even better.One thing to note: the property has a rule that does not allow food or beverages in the pool, which was a surprise to our family. This isn’t a reflection on the owner, who was great, but it’s something future guests may want to be aware of ahead of time.

Hi Mandy, Thank you for your wonderful review. You were a great guest. I’m sorry that the pool rule regarding no food was a surprise to you and I do realize and am sorry that you were uncomfortable about that. I understand.
Best regards. Joyce
This is a lovely condo and spacious living space. The sunsets from the balcony were magnificent. The owner was readily available by phone to answer questions and genuinely seemed interested in us enjoying our stay.

I have always been extremely responsible as an owner and have taken great measures to keep my condo very updated and very well taken care of.
