We had a wonderful time at Louise’s condo, and Louise was great to work with. If there were questions, Louise responded in a very timely manner. The location of the condo was perfect. Tigertail beach is very beautiful. The shells are very plentiful. The kitchen was very well stocked. There were also beach towels, beach wagon, sand toys, and coolers. The condo had a beautiful view from the deck. The sunsets were gorgeous. There were plenty of chairs and a table on the deck. There was not a washer and dryer in the unit, but there was no problem using a washer at the end of the hallway. The condo itself was very clean. The property surrounding the condo was very well taken care of as well. The pool was large and there always were available lounge chairs. Louise sent a packet of different restaurants to try while in Marco Island. We enjoyed Doreen’s Cup of Joe for breakfast. Kids love Pinchers for lunch or dinner. Sunset Grill has a beautiful view and tables outside. If you don’t want to eat in a restaurant try Michelbob’s for take out ribs. The ribs and sides are delicious. You will enjoy your stay. This is a great condo.

This condo was nothing short of amazing! It truly is in the perfect location. We took daily walks to Tiger Tail beach and Sand Dollar Spit. One morning, our kids found over 120 full sand dollars! Amazing! The shelling was incredible and the sunsets were breathtaking. The condo is generously stocked and has everything you’ll need from beach gear to kitchen supplies - we were very impressed! One morning we took the Hemingway Shuttle out of Rose Marina to Keewaydin Island. Dolphins flipped behind the shuttle on our way out and the island had some very unique shells. We ate at Snook Inn one evening and enjoyed it very much. The property owner was wonderful to work with and even sent a packet full of helpful information and tips about the Island before our trip - everything from restaurants to rentals on the island. We would 100% recommend this property to anyone looking to rent on Marco!!

Clean, quiet, secure building. Great heated pool. Great sunsets and beach walks.

Nice waterfront property

Great unit. Furnishings are dated but comfortable. Everything you need is there. Louise is great to work with. You will enjoy your stay.

Great view and location. A clean, decent condo. Reasonably priced. Owner cared and wanted us to have an enjoyable experience. No complaints although we would have enjoyed a walk-in shower.

The place has everything you need to enjoy on vacation.

This is the perfect place to go and relax. We enjoyed getting up in the morning and taking a long walk on the beach. There are thousands of shells and people will make all kinds of things with them in the sand. If you prefer sitting by a pool, there are plenty of chairs, we never had a problem finding a spot no matter what time of day. This condo has everything you need for your stay. There are beach chairs, beach towels and even a cooler. The kitchen is well stocked and had everything we needed for cooking our meals. The beds were comfortable too. As some other reviews have pointed out, this condo could use some updating; however, there’s nothing there that would prevent you from having a wonderful time!

Great location. We enjoyed the sunsets from the balcony.

South Seas is a gated community located on at the North end of the island. The beach is very wide giving families plenty of room to spread out, make sand sculptures, and not feel crowded. Shelling along the shore of Tiger Tail in the morning will yield perfect sand dollars. You can spend 30 minutes to many hours there. The South end of the island has softer sand, the beach is narrower, and shells are fewer. For a bit of an unusual dining experience try Lee Be's Fish. It's a "fish shack" serving fish caught just hours earlier- best fish I've had in a very long time. We tried the fish taco (delicious) and island style grouper w/ black beans and rice. Note: It is CASH only. There are plenty of restaurants near South Seas, some within walking distance -Joey's (highly recommend - be sure to try the garlic knots!), Doreen's and Nene's for good lattes and fantastic breakfasts. CJ's, in Esplanade Shops, is a short drive, had a great sunset view, food was fresh, and service was pleasant. We drove to Goodland (30 minutes or so) to have dinner at the Little Bar Restaurant. It's a funky place in funky town. Food was just average. With so many other great choices, we probably won't go again. Take-out from Su's Garden is good choice after a full day when you don't want to out to dinner. We took Hemingway Water Shuttle to Keewaydin Island for a day trip. It's a family owned business, and it shows. Steve and Matt made sure everyone was comfortable and made us feel welcome. We saw dolphins and a manatee on our way out. Bring plenty of sunscreen and re-apply often. One side of the island is the "party side" w/ boats pulling in, people listening to music, and even food boats. The other side of the island (a 5 minute walk) is on the gulf w/ a wide white sand beach. We found a lot of big sand dollars. We'll definitely do this again on our next visit. We enjoyed Marco Island and will return for future vacations. Louise's condo was OK. It does need some updating. We will probably stay in a different location next time to try out a different "feel."

Booking the vacation was really easy. I picked Southseas because someone recently recommended it to me. I picked this particular condo because there were lots of positive reviews and we couldn't have been happier. We received the keys and instructions in the mail that couldn't have made it any easier. We were arriving late at night and my GPS took me right to the front gate. The person at the gate directed us where to go, even though there signs and I had great instructions. We had a key to get into the building and another into the condo. There was also suggestions on places to visit, where to eat and lots of helpful tips. Even though we have been to Marco Island before the recommendations and advice was very helpful. This was our 5th visit to Marco Island and I think our best. The condo was on the 8th floor providing fabulous views from the deck and provided plenty of room. My family and I enjoyed walks everyday on the beach (collecting lots of shells and a few sand dollars) and walks to the Marina to look for the Manatees and Dolphins. This condo provided 'everything' you could ever think of that would be needed for a beach vacation. I highly recommend this condo to anyone thinking about visiting Marco Island!!!! Thanks again to Louise Mitchell for allowing us to stay in your condo. We definitely will be staying here again. Tim and Sue West Michigan

Once again this condo provided everything and I highly recommend it. We will definitely be returning to stay at this beautiful condo. Timothy and Susan F Ada, Michigan

Our family of five adults had a great time. Louise's condo is very pleasant not fancy which I like and felt like home. I did not feel like I had to clean it everyday and watch out for possible spills etc We would relax and enjoy the outdoor indoor living. We have stayed at SS for over 30 years and really like the quieter side looking over Tigertail! We also like this layout with the balconies off both bedrooms and living area that makes the condo feel even more spacious. Having said that I found Louise to be extremely accommodating as we requested to arrive a day earlier than planned and our request was graciously accepted as the condo was vacant. That extra day was extremely beneficial to make the vacation complete . I do plan to visit Marco every year following in my mother and her sisters footsteps . Our adult daughters are also continuing the tradition. Susan. Cape Cod

I've stayed at another condo but this one is by far my favorite! I felt so at home, the view of the ocean was to die for, and everything was clean. Can't wait to go back. Not interested in staying anywhere else.

The owner was great to work with. Very responsive to emails and questions. People, the sunset views don't get better than they are from this balcony. People line the beaches and you can watch it in peace on your own balcony and all the people outside on this side of building applaud it when it happens. Ice maker in room is a nice upgrade, many don't have this in these buildings. Bed was very comfortable. Overall a+. When we go back to Marco we will consider this property again unless we buy a spot to call our own.

I loved my two vacations here. Cozy, comfortable, clean. Perfect location and with great views of the Gulf. The deck is fantastic! Unfortunately, this placed was already booked this year and we had to find another place to stay but this will always be our favorite!

The living room is small even though the mirror on the wall makes it look huge in the pictures posted on this site. The apartment is also very outdated with appliances that don't properly work. Shower door in master bathroom doesn't close/move. When you try a bit harder to move it black stuff starts coming out of the door rails. Yuck! The shower in the second bathroom makes so much noise when you take a shower that it wakes up everyone in the condo. So, no early morning or late night showers unless you want your toddlers to wake up. Sheets in master bed cigarette burn marks holes. Blinds are so worn out that anytime you open them , slats from the blinds fall on the floor. We stopped opening/closing the blinds. Apartment is so humid that the popcorn ceiling is falling off in the hallway. Laundry machines are so worn out that it takes hours to do a load of laundry. On top of this, the owner returned the deposit 2 weeks late and still deducted $25 for "excess" laundry even though we showed them pictures of only a day's worth of laundry, as per contract. THe owner promissed to speak to their housekeeper but of course we never heard back from her. Would never go again to her condo. Hopefully this review will prompt the owner to make repairs because it certainly wasn't worth the money we spent to stay in her condo. We could have spent half the amount we paid the owner had we stayed at a motel with the same conditions.

I love Marco Island. I went with my husband and two children (5 & 8). We all had a great time. It is now my favorite place to vacation! You feel like you are on a topical Island without leaving the states! Our accommodations were very nice, comfortable and clean. The condo had everything we needed. The pool at the condo was beautiful and had the best ocean breezes. I loved watching the dolphins & sunsets from the balcony. There was plenty to do and see even off season. The owner suggested a few restaurants that were fabulous! I liked that everything was close and you could get whatever you needed without leaving the Island. There were cute boutiques and shops to visit..next time I will bring an extra bag for souvenirs. I will defiantly be back, thanks for the perfect vacation!

My wife and I spent two weeks here and had a wonderful, relaxing time. The view of the Gulf from the deck was beautiful and the sunsets were fantastic. Everything you need to relax is at your fingertips. We visited the local restuarants recommended by the owner and had great meals at reasonable prices. The amenities at this condo are many, great pool, beautiful view of Tiger Tail beach, walking path to the beach and friendly neighbors. If you are looking for a place to forget about everything and just relax, this place is for you. We are looking forward to returning this year and having another vacation "in paradise"..
