Top Choice Marco Island, Complete w/ $150k Renovation!!!

We have rented at South Sea Towers for six years and This was our second time staying in this unit. It’s truly one of our favorite units. The view is great and the condo is very well appointed. The furniture is extremely comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. We hope to rent the same unit when we return in 2026 for our seventh stay. Also, Harborview Rentals were great to work with.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have rented this unit a number of times now. It is very comfortable, it has wonderful views, and it has been modernized in a way that makes for a wonderful stay. While the walk to the beach is a bit long, it is worth it, and the extra distance is a small price to pay for the unobstructed view. We will return.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed in many different units in South Seas, and this Tower 4, unit 1601, is one of the most comfortable ones! It was well thought through and stocked with everything you might need during your stay. From fully equipped kitchen, to comfortable beds and all necessary beach supplies, it is well suitable for families with kids or adults only. We loved the new recliner sofas in living room, very comfortable and perfect for restful evening. And the views of the gulf and sunsets were just amazing! We don’t use pool area at all so I can’t say anything about that.The only few things I wish were better are:•The sliding door to the balcony. The screens were hard to move, both parts were unhitched, so we had to move each one separately and it was difficult to reach for the second screen in the middle of the door. It also didn’t line up well on rails, creating a little open gap.•Kitchen knifes were rusty, I had to scrub them with baking soda for half an hour before they could be used.•One of the drawer handles in the master bathroom came off right away so we ended up not using that one.•You can hear the wind whistling by the front door, making it hard to sleep for light sleepers in the guest bedroom. It was a lot louder on very windy days. I’m not sure if it’s the high floor issue, but we had stayed on top floors previously and didn’t have this issue. So, it’s probably the gaps around the door that need to be fixed.Overall it’s a very nice unit and I’d stay there again.

I walked both morning and sunset time along the beach, spent afternoons at the pool and had delicious seafood dinners out each night. The property management checked in with me asking if all was good and telling me to call if any questions or concerns.

The condo is very well equipped with all the things you need to have a comfortable enjoyable stay. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare most every dish you want to prepare. The appliances are top of the line and the refrigerator has a very reliable ice maker. The condo offers 2 types of coffee makers. As with all condo rentals there’s a toaster but, no toaster oven. I’m not certain why that is the practice. The condo has beautiful views of the Gulf with gorgeous sunsets. From the entry way you can view the sunrise. It is very conveniently located to lots of restaurants and food stores. I was very impressed with how quickly the host addressed an issue we had with the king sized bed. After a few nights of sleeping on a very firm mattress the host supplied a soft mattress pillow top at our request to make the bed more comfortable. Our 2 weeks at the condo were extremely enjoyable and we hope to return in 2025. I highly recommend this unit as it has everything you need to make your visit an extremely enjoyable experience.

The condo was all new. Did a great job with furnishings and decor. TVs are all great. Kitchen well stocked. The complex is in a great location and the amenities are endless! Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Reviewer Comments: We have stayed on Marco for many years in a variety of units all in South Seas Tower IV. 1601 is a wonderful, renovated unit with great views and a great kitchen. Overall, a great place to stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit was very nice but by no means beachfront. The access and parking attendant was extremely annoying. It was not security but more lunacy. The walk to beach is over half mile

The grounds of the property are well maintained and centrally located to great restaurants and shopping. Condo itself is in need of a deep clean (baseboards, shower tile, shower heads, light switches, were all quite dirty) and bed linens could use an upgrade. Biggest takeaway are the excessive and brutally enforced pool rules. This property's ameneties are far from family friendly. Pool rules state no balls, no jumping, no food. The security guard at the pool during the day was ruthless in her enforcement of said rules, but it seems that she liked to pick and choose who to enforce them with. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is the property is NOT family friendly. There are plenty of condos to stay at on Marco Island. I would highly consider researching others befoew booking at South Seas if you want a family friendly atmosphere.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 1601 Tower 4 was a spectacular property!!! It was more than fully equipped, super clean and with a great view of Marco out the front door and the gulf out the back door. Wonderful sunsets!! It is quite a hike to the beach, though.We usually rent a house with a pool and prefer it to fighting for pool loungers, waiting for elevators and carts to haul things up and down. It’s just our personal preference. The property was well secured and very clean.
