South Seas Towers – Enjoy the Island Lifestyle at a Median Price!

By Gary & Sandy Elliott

The median price of the 342 condos listed for sale on Marco Island this week is $479,000 – half of the condos for sale on the island are priced below $479,000 and half are listed for more than $479,000. Representative of this middle price range are the four South Seas Towers located on the beach along Seaview Court. Altogether there are 848 condos in these four buildings. This week, 43 of them are for sale ranging in price from $376,000 to $779,000. All of these condos are two bedroom, two bathroom units with differing floor plans. The unique architectural design of the towers provides views of

the beach, Gulf and sunsets to the west, northwest, southwest and south depending where in the building the condo is located. Many of the apartments have been extensively renovated and updated since the original construction in 1980.

South Seas Towers is an upscale, private, gated community with all the amenities condo buyers are looking for like boat docks for lease, tennis club, resort style heated pools, fitness club, shuffle board and covered parking. Lush landscaping, walking paths and Marco’s crescent beach are steps from the buildings. Towers 1 and 2 to the south allow 30 day minimum rentals averaging $6,500 per month in season and Towers 3 and 4 to the

north offer weekly rentals of about $1,800 per week in season. Many buyers of these condos do so because a few weeks or months of rentals can offset the annual operating costs of condo fees, insurance and taxes. The residents here come from all over the United States, Europe and Canada.

Spectacular sunset views are ever changing as are the Gulf waters. Tigertail Beach is adjacent to the complex and great for residents to enjoy kayaking or a stroll along Sand Dollar Island collecting seashells. Tigertail Beach has a children’s playground, food concession and beach equipment rental facility. South Seas Towers is just a short distance to the Island’s restaurants & shops providing another way to enjoy Marco Island’s relaxed lifestyle at a median price.
