About this rental
Due to Covid-19 we are using enhanced EPA cleaning practices between guests, disinfecting products used to clean prior to your arrival as well as a supply of these products in the condo for your use. We also have 2 PlasmaWAve air purifiers that monitors the air quality and automatically adjusts depending on the readings.
South Seas Club is a 55 acre gated community with walking paths throughout. It is located on the beach in Marco Island.
Apartment 304 in Tower III is a front to back unit and is 1132 sq. ft. It is located on the third floor. The master bedroom and living room have a long view down the beach. This apartment does not overlook the pool and therefore tends to be quieter during the peak season. The bedrooms are also in a front to back position with two bathrooms between them. This offers more privacy in the bedrooms which seems to be important to some guests. Since this apartment is on a lower floor you also can enjoy watching the palm trees swaying in the breeze as well as view the beach. The apartment faces Southwest
We have made sure both of our condos are very well stocked. We have constantly upgraded both the furnishings and equipment that is included in the apartments. These are our homes and we have added the same amenities that are enjoyed at our permanent residence. Suggestions are also taken from guests who have written in our guest books and may have mentioned something we have overlooked. Mostly we get comments on how well stocked our apartments are. The only thing that you need to bring with you are your clothes and personal items!

Area Information
Marco Island is located on the Southwest Gulf Coast of Florida, just across the Judge SS Jolley Bridge, about 300 yards from the mainland. Marco Island is a peaceful semi-tropical resort with gorgeous sunrises and magnificent sunsets.
The Island is six miles long, four miles wide and is the largest of the 10,000 Islands. It is near Naples and the Everglades. Winter daytime temperatures generally range from the mid 70's to mid 80's and evening temperatures are cool ranging from the mid 50's to low 60's. Summer is gorgeous on Marco with temperatures rarely above the low 90's with breezes off the Gulf to cool the Island.
Marco Island has approximately 12,000 year-round residents. This number swells to over 40,000 during the winter months.
The lifestyle on Marco is carefree. You can go into almost any restaurant wearing casual attire including shorts. Water sports, fishing, golf and a fabulous white sand beach are a few of the things that draw people to Marco from all over the world. Marco Island is also the largest of Florida's Ten Thousand Islands and is considered a gateway to the Everglades.
More than 200 species of birds, including the American Bald Eagle, live on Marco. The island also provides a habitat for loggerhead turtles, dolphins and the manatee. On the western shore of Marco Island, vacationers and residents enjoy a 3 1/2 mile white-sand crescent beach. Watching the many varieties of boats and recreational activities that abound in and above the waters at the beach is a constant source of entertainment. You can watch the fish jumping out of the water, the pelicans following the fishermen around hoping for a snack or join in the fun yourself and try your hand at parasailing or jet skiing. Dolphins are often spied swimming by the beach. We have even had one come join us for a swim. It was quite an experience. Canoeing the canals and waterways is a peaceful way to spend your time. Enjoying yourself on Marco can take many different forms.
The Everglades are located very close to Marco and provide a fascinating look at nature. Goodland is a small fishing village located in the southeast corner of Marco. On Sundays residents and visitors frequent Stan's for an afternoon of outdoor music, drinks and dancing. The Isle of Capri is another fishing village located just before the bridge to Marco. There are some nice restaurants there too.

About the owner: We live in NH, have two daughters and two beautiful granddaughters. We go to Marco about 4 times a year. Unfortunately with two condos we spend a lot of time working. We like to keep our condos up to date and clean. This is a commitment that requires personal input. We try hard to make it just like home for our guests and are pleased when we accomplished that.
Why this property? We visited friends in Marco in 1990. We were so impressed with their condo in South Seas as well as all the amenities and how clean the management kept the condo. We came back 6 months later and bought this, our 304 condo. Five years later we decided to buy another condo. We searched all the condos on the beach and found that what we had at South Seas could not be beat so we bought our second condo in South Seas.
It is a property that can't be compared to others on the Island. With 55 acres of well manicured land and well kept condo associations it cannot be beat. The amount of amenities including tennis courts, bocce ball, shuffleboard, pickle ball and a fitness center all on the property, there is no other property on the beach that can compare.
We have never regretted our decision and obviously after this many years we are still in love with the area.

Beverly C.Best of Everything
We spent a week at Marco Island and stayed in this wonderful condo! It is beautiful…the beach, the views, the sunsets and especially the condo! Every small appliance is available and tons of dishes, utensils, and cookware makes it a breeze to cook. The master bedroom has a super comfy King bed and more than enough spaces for clothes. Don’t worry about needing hangers as there are TONS! And with a couple of bathrooms, it was perfect for his and hers baths! Plenty of towels and beach towels too! The owners were quick to respond to every question I had. Lorraine sent a huge packet of information to make our stay as perfect as possible. Lists of eateries, activities, sights to see and do as well as specific details about the condo grounds, keys, important numbers were all provided and much appreciated by this guest. We had a wonderful trip and will be back!

Hi Bev,Thanks so much for your great review. I am so pleased that you had a good time and that you enjoyed our condo. We do try hard to make sure that all our guests are very well informed before they arrive. It makes vacationing at a new place less stressful to have more info rather than less. We look forward to having you back. Have a great year.Lorraine
Callae D.Wellness Retreat
We really enjoyed our stay at the Condo. Great location to the beach. Condo was very clean. Was a last minute booking & owner was very responsive & helpful. Minimal amount of cosmetic updates would increase the appeal.

Owner response
Hi Callae,Thank you for your 5 star review, we appreciate it. However, since none of my previous guests had commented about the condo needing minimal upgrades I asked you what you meant by that. The condo is exactly as pictured. The living room and bedrooms do have a popcorn ceiling, but because of the height of the ceiling they are not obtrusive, in fact it has never been mentioned by previous guests. People interpret words differently and some may assume the worst. I am pleased that you told me you would definitely book again. I am also glad that you had a good stay, as it was quite a scramble to get you in on such short notice when your other accommodations fell through.We try hard to accommodate and are pleased that it worked out for you.
Ann L.Delightful Escape
Your South Seas Condo provided a comfortable, relaxing, beautiful home for us during our weeks stay. The condo had every amenity. The views of the gulf were beautiful.We appreciated the wise and thoughtful air purifiers throughout your house during this covid time. We would love to stay again for at least two weeks to shake off the cold and dampness of our home state. MARCO ISLAND IS A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY DESTINATION AND YOUR HOME IS AN ASSET TO THE MARKET. PS.We enjoyed the walk to the beach, and realized we did need to be fit. Just want to let you know 2 of the 4 Beach chairs were worn in the seats. It did not effect us, as we only utilized 2. May I suggest including 2 tennis rackets along with all the beach items you provide. Thank you Lorraine Best, Ann

Thank you Ann, We are happy that you enjoyed our condo and found it to have a lot of amenities. Also thanks for the info on the 2 chairs. We do check our supplies out before season to make sure they are OK, but occasionally things wear in between. We appreciate info from our guests when this happens as you are our best way to get that type of info when we are not there. Thanks again, Bill and Lorraine
John D.South Sea Towers, Tower 3 Condo 304
As usual our stay at the condo was great. The condo and the building are well maintained. The owner supplies ample amenities and well documented information about the condo appliances and entertainment equipment. The condo has a beautiful view of the beach and comfortable outdoor furniture on the lanai. Beach chairs and umbrella are available for your use, as are pails shovels for children. We consider and maintain the condo as if it was our second home. The owner keeps the condo in a well maintained condition which makes us as the renter feel that it is our second home. We have been renting the same unit for many years and we keep coming back because of all of the above mentioned reasons. Couldn’t ask for anything better.

This was our 2nd time staying in Tower 3, unit 304, and it didn't disappoint. It's a terrific condo with awesome views. Fully stocked with everything you could possibly need, including sanitizing items (which at this time was greatly appreciated). Great communication with the owners and realtor.

Wayne & Joan A.Wonderful vacation, nice condo, great owners
This vacation is one to be remembered forever. We stayed in condo unit 304 at South Seas building 3 owned by the Innes family. The unit was exceptionally clean with a wonderful view of the gulf and beach, truly a beachfront condo. The vacation was relaxing and the balcony was the place to be each night for an enjoyable sunset view. The unit had all the amenities needed for a enjoyable stay. The owner, Lorraine was available and just an email away throughout the entire stay. She responded immediately, within an hour, to every question and request that was needed to make our vacation complete. She gave us recommendations for local activities and to local restaurants with their specialties. This was a great 50th wedding anniversary vacation thanks to Bill & Lorraine.

John & Carol D.South Sea Tower 3 unit 304
Carol an I enjoyed a lovely stay at the South Sea Towers in Marco Island. As usual we stayed in Tower 3 Unit 304. The condo is well maintained and the owner provides plenty of amenities for her guests. The building is well maintained both inside and outside. The view is beautiful from the condo. Each year the owner upgrades the unit and making it extremely comfortable for the guest. We love staying at this condo and appreciate how well it is maintained. We look forward to next year at the same condo. As an additional note, the health safety rules were right up to par and we were very comfortable during our stay.

Lori B.A Little Slice of Paradise
This is home away from home. This cozy condo is stocked with everything you will need to have a fantastic beach get away. The view from the condo is beautiful and relaxing. The only drawback I found is I got very spoiled by my daily morning walks on the beach and was very sad to leave.
Stayed: July 2020Submitted: July 31, 2020

You aren't alone Lori. Every time we leave and look back while going over the SS Jolley Bridge we feel sad too. Glad it is you home away from home. That is what we try for. Thanks for the great review. Have a good year.
MikeGreat Condo, Fantastic location
This Condo was a last minute find, and we couldn't have been happier. Lorraine(owner) was very responsive to queries, the booking was very simple through the agency,and we checked in after hours using the lock box without issues. Condo had everything you could need, was clean and comfortable for two couples - the layout allows privacy and a bathroom for each room. Views are wonderful, and the balcony gets sun almost all day long - others in the bldg are in the shade all day, so make sure you ask when booking. The pool was clean and warm, and the beach (6 miles of it) was only feet from the Condo. Laundry on the floor was convenient, with reasonable rates ($5 would wash and dry 2 loads), and groceries, shopping and restaurants are close enough with plenty of options. Highly recommended!

Hi Mike, Thanks for your review. We appreciate your comments and are happy that you were happy with your accommodations. It is what we try hard to accomplish.

Michele A.Awesome condo, great location
This was our first stay on Marco Island, but it won't be our last. We are planning on making this our holiday destination for years to come!! The condo was in a great location, very convenient to lots of restaurants and shops. The condo itself was immaculate and stocked with everything you could possibly need. And we really appreciated the beach towels and chairs. Lorraine was a terrific communicator. We had numerous emails back and forth with a ton of information on the condo and the area. We can't wait for next December!!

Jim and Yvette H.Great condo with a great view and great owners
We’ve rented this condo for several years now in the month of November. Seems to be the best weather and small crowds and that’s a big draw for us. We love the view, the pool, the location and the proximity of several walkable restaurants. The owners are lovely, responsive and helpful. The condo is well supplied with any and all cleaning products necessary, towels, linens, blankets, pillows and tons of beach paraphernalia; all appreciated! We will return again in 2020.

We stayed at South Seas Tower 3-304. Great view, great appliances, living area, bedrooms. Watched some movies at the condo as the owners had a bunch of good ones. If you want peace, great view to the beach, and awesome pools you should rent from the owners. Lots of great restaurants at walking distance too!

This was our third year at South Seas Tower 3, Unit #304, and it was another great stay. In fact we liked it so much that we have already book the same two weeks for next year. The view is fantastic, the beach is at your doorstep, the unit is very nicely updated, and the grounds at South Seas are beautifully kept. Everything is provided in this condo from a fully equipped kitchen to anything you will need for the beach or swimming pool.

This was our second stay in this condo and we throroughly enjoyed it! In fact we had such a good time that we have already booked for next year.This condo has a beautiful view of the beach and Gulf and is fully equiped in every way. The kitchen has everything you need if you decide to cook a meal, and there is a closet full of “beach things” including chairs, umbrella, kids sand toys, fishing poles..............the list goes on. If you like shelling, this beach is better than Sanibel Island.................also, see how many Sand Dollars you can find.Already looking forward to next year!
