Another way to enjoy Marco Island’s outstanding crescent beach is to find a condo on Collier Boulevard across the street from the beach near a beach access point. At any time, very few of the condos nearest the beach access points are for sale.
For example, across the street from Residents Beach are the Mariner, Sands and Beachview. Last week the Mariner only had three condos (out of 162 units) for sale ranging in price from $279,900 to $319,900. These two bedroom, two bathroom condos have 814 square feet. The Mariner has two heated community pools, allows 30-day rentals 12 times per year, and allows a pet up to 15 pounds. Condo fees here are less than $400 per month.

San Marco Residences is located directly across the street from a beach access point.

Beachview is near the Residents Beach entrance.
The 38-unit Seaview is the closest condo to the South Beach access. Again none were for sale. Two bedroom, two bathroom 1,086 square foot condos here recently sold for $340,000 and $390,000. The Seaview allows weekly rentals 52 times a year. No pets are allowed and fees here are under $500 per month.

The Sands is directly across from Residents Beach.
These are the condos nearest the beach access points. Another 53 condos are for sale in the south end with a short drive to the South Beach access point at the parking lot on Swallow near Collier Boulevard. There are 32 condos for sale along Collier Boulevard farther from the beach access points mentioned above.

The Beach Club has it’s own private gate to the beach.

The Mariner is across the street from Residents Beach and had three condos for sale last week.
