Immaculate complex with easy beach access! The property and condo were both extremely well maintained making it easy to have a great trip. The complex is quiet but polite kids were more than welcomed. Beach access was fantastic and the beach was stunning!

Beautiful View
We had a great week staying here! It was easy to get a hold of the owner for a couple of things, the condo had everything we needed! I will add though that the walk to the beach was just under half of a mile-totally doable and not bad in MY opinion but was a little long for the little ones-especially the walk back! Highly recommend going down for the sunset, they’re beautiful! Restaurant recommendations in the area…Samis for pizza(SOOO GOOD!), Snook Inn for dinner on the water, Doreen’s Cup of Joe for breakfast (walking distance) and we may have had Sweet Annie’s Ice Cream almost every night! All in all we had a great week!

Great property with fabulous views!
This Condo is very nice and clean! It is perfect if you have 5 people as the second bedroom has beds for 3. The Condo has everything you need for your stay, including beach chairs, towels and toys. The beach at Marco island is one of the best beaches Florida. The pool is also great! Would highly recommend this rental property.

Wonderful stay on Marco Island
My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful time on the island. The unit was beautifully furnished, the location perfect for exploring tigertail beach and shell hunting. The towers have a heated pool that was great to relax in after a day away. We would stay here again and would highly recommend to family and friends. Thanks again we a lovely holiday !

Christmas Getaway
This is a beautiful condo in Marco Island. The property manager was amazing. She even decorated the condo for Christmas for my family. My boys were so excited when we walked in the condo to see a small tree and lights. It felt like home. The amentities were great! My boys loved playing pickleball at the courts. My husband also enjoyed the workout room. Pool was large and had plenty of space. We would love to come back in the future.

Beautiful and quiet condo!
This condo was wonderful! The beds and furniture were all so comfortable! There was no noise from surrounding units so it was very quiet and made for great sleep! The views and seating in the porch were amazing. We especially loved the little porch off the kitchen in the mornings! The walk to the beach took about 10 minutes so the wagon with beach chairs was priceless for carrying all the beach gear! Super thankful that was included in the stay! We LOVED the pickle ball and tennis courts, shuffleboard, etc! It was amazing to get to use those at our leisure! The pickleball courts stayed pretty full from 8-10ish but after that we felt like we could pop in and enjoy them at any point during the day. I will add one note for families with kids - be aware that there are a lot of rules associated with this set of buildings. The pool does not allow pool toys of any kind. My kids were the only ones in the pool and were super calm and quiet but were still not allowed to throw a football to each other. The pool is so nice and warm that we were also bummed to see that it closed before it was even dark outside. I just encourage starting the day outside early because once the sun goes down, you really can’t enjoy the amenities like pool and sports courts….which felt very early in November at 5:45pm. Another recommendation - go to the beach at lowest tide/sunrise if you can. Simply amazing. This was a lovely stay for our first trip to Marco Island!

A wonderful spring break
What a great vacation! Condo was wonderful with just a few tiny hiccups (closet doors and vertical blinds). Otherwise the condo was clean, updated, and big enough for the four of us (two adults and two teenagers). The view from the balcony was incredible! Grocery store was only a little over a mile away. The beach was HUGE. Pool was perfect. Great little restaurants within walking distance. Highly recommend.

Excellent Stay
Our group of six had a wonderful stay. The unit was plenty spacious, clean, and well stocked. There was an issue with the water in the kitchen so we couldn’t use the dishwasher, do dishes, etc for the first 4 days but Kristen (condo owner) worked with us and kept in excellent communication. The walk to the beach is a bit long, especially with kids, but the unit came with a nice wagon that can be pulled through the sand and loaded up with beach chairs, toys, etc. The pool on site was excellent along with the fitness center in Tower 3. We really enjoyed the location of the property as it was not only quiet but had restaurants and shopping in both directions which made things very convenient. Overall, it was a great stay and highly recommend this particular unit as you’ll be in good hands.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on the 8th floor! What we loved was that it’s such a quiet place with mostly older people staying there. Less kids than staying at a crowded resort. Condo was very clean and has everything you need. They even bought detergent and put it in our room when I asked about it for doing laundry. They truly take care of your needs! Highly recommend for a week of relaxation

Great Stay
This is a very nice unit, with everything we need. The only reason I didn’t give a perfect score is because of the instructions to not set the air lower than 74. I like to sleep super cool at night, and if I am paying this kind of money for a rental, I expect to be able to set the air where I want it and not be throttled. Overall, very nice.

So Many Rules!
The condo was located in a wonderful area with beautiful views. Although we had been looking forward to enjoying the sunset each evening, our unit was too far around the side of the building to view the sunset. The unit had a couple of annoying issues. The first (and most annoying) issue was the vertical blinds. We had been forewarned by the owner that there was an issue and, believe me, there was an issue. With postings everywhere in the building about closing your blinds every evening by 9:00 p.m. due to the turtle nesting season (with possible fines for non-compliance), I think the owner should be a little more proactive about getting those blinds replaced IMMEDIATELY! Also, owner needs to add some security to the master bedroom bathroom, such as a grab bar in the shower. All in all, it was a wonderful week and we got the rest and relaxation we had been seeking.

Christina, thank you for your review. This homeowner has asked us to pass along the following response: "Thanks for staying with us and sharing your feedback. All troubled blinds have been replaced in September. Such work was initiated in July but with Summer months fully occupied the contractor had to wait for the unit to be available in September. There is a famous "Double Sunset." The double is the reflection of the sunset in the lagoon. Imagine watching two suns slowly merging towards each other yet separated by the beach and the ocean. Both the sky and lagoon are flaming red. It's fantastic and romantic, especially if you see it from the 8th-floor balcony. Unfortunately, this "Double Sunsets" are only available during the winter season because the sun moves behind the front of the tower during Summertime. However, you can still see such from the poolside or beach. We will definitely speak with our contractor about adding a grab bar in the shower, thank you for sharing that suggestion. We hope you'll stay with us again in the future!" Best, the Evolve Team

Great location, perfect for our trip
Our trip was a family getaway. We needed extra sleeping space since our “home base” couldn’t accommodate all of us. This condo worked perfectly as a sleeping hub for two couples. Easy access to the beach; beautiful pool; great corner unit on the 8th floor. The overall property is dated, but that didn’t detract from our purpose or stay. The condo worked well for 4 adults. One room has a king bed with bathroom en-suite. The other room has a queen and a twin with bathroom adjacent. The dining table has 4 chairs, but the balcony has only 3 (Adirondack style). There is a small kitchen table with 2 chairs. So the seating was a bit inconsistent in terms of the number of potential guests. The cozy kitchen had all we needed (reminder: this was our sleeping hub not our main location). We easily made our morning toast and coffee and had our cereal before heading out for the day. Accessing the property was easy through the various locked gates because of two sets of keys and a touchpad with a key code. That way not everyone had to have their own keys. Keep in mind that you have to go by the owner’s home to pick up and return the condo keys. This will add to your arrival and departure time requirements, though that time isn’t significant because the key pick-up location and the condo are roughly 3 miles apart. I gave this a 4-star rating because of the trek to get/return the keys, the overall age of the property, the inconsistent seating, and some obvious wear and tear in the unit from lots of use.

Luxury view but not a luxury condo
My family and I traveled to Marco Island from California for a wedding over Memorial Day weekend. The condo was advertised as a “luxury beach front condo.” Reading about it, it sounded like it was going to be very nice. Hands down it has an amazing view but the condo itself needs some TLC. I am very glad we paid off season rates for this place, if we had to pay more I would not have been very happy. My advice upgrade the place or do not advertise it as luxury condo.

Madelyn, we have shared your review with the homeowner who takes feedback very seriously. They requested to respond with the following: "I am sorry to hear that the unit was not what you expected. Should you have any specific suggestions as how to upgrade the unit I will be more than happy to hear them. Was it the furniture, or the carpet, or the pictures on the wall or the decor? I take my guests' views and suggestions very seriously. My guests' comfort and enjoyment are always on my mind. So please send me a list of your suggestions that I will definitely consider them. In case you do not already know the unit was recently renovated about one and half year ago, a very modern glass door walk in shower with accent across the tiled walls was installed in the master bathroom which has received many good comments, all kitchen counters were replaced with marble look alike quartz tops, all cabinets have been replaced with slow closing shaker style cabinet which my decorator recommended as the most popular and fashionable style, the ceiling in the kitchen was also raised with new lighting, the balcony floor was also replaced with marble look alike tiles which many guests love it while they are enjoying the breath taking view of Gulf from 8th floor, all carpet was replaced after Irma last year. The decor and wall pictures are purposely selected as classic and close to Tommy Bahamas style as suggested by my decorator. If you prefer more contemporary decor I do have another identical unit in the same tower on 3rd floor that is with much more modern decor and furniture with the same upgrade at the same time about one and half year ago. Evolve also manages that unit. I hope to hear from you again with your suggestions so I can consider them." The homeowner works diligently to ensure all guests have pleasant experiences, and we're confident future guests will enjoy staying here! Best, the Evolve Team

The condo grounds were nice as was the view but the unit itself was tattered.
This unit is in need of updates. Many vertical blinds were missing, the porch chair cushions were severely ripped, the closet doors were rusty and coming off of the hinges, the couch made a very loud noise each time you sat on it and when the couch bed was pulled out it creaked with any movement. The master bath was sort of remodeled with a new shower but no where to put soap but the floor and the counter was new but no sink drain, the faucet was missing half of the finish and the cabinet was falling apart particle board. We were woken up several mornings and listened to all day loud whistling noises from the wind blowing through the door frames. As far as extra amenities, you need to bring or buy everything. 1 box of Kleenex, limited toilet paper for a group of 5 people staying a week, one extra garbage bag, no dishwasher soap, no spices or pepper (there was a giant container of salt) etc. Also for a condo sleeping up to 7 people, there is a table for 4 and only 3 beach chairs (one was rusty and broke when we tried to sit in it so we had to buy two more). I will say the view is nice and we enjoyed the South Seas condo activities such as pickle ball, shuffle board, putting and the heated pool.

We stay at South Seas every year! Why? Because there is access to the best beach ever! We spend every evening watching glorious sunsets over the Gulf! The condo itself is well-equipped and clean. Though to be quite honest, we don't spend too much inside since we are always at the beach! Bruce is easy to work with! South Seas is very nice!!!
