South Seas Tower 4-1506

We traveled with my wife, brother, and 1-year old daughter and everything was great! The apartment was immaculate and had beautiful views from both balconies. We loved eating breakfast out on the balcony in the morning. The water is about a 10-minute walk but a wagon and everything you need for the beach was provided which made it easy. We'll be back!

It’s always nice to be on Marco in February. A bit windy and chilly the beginning of February, which tends to be hit or miss early in the month. We enjoyed all the restaurants on the island. This was our second year in this condo which has been clean. The bed is comfortable, but it could use some new linens as they are getting a bit worn. The sleeper sofa in the living room needs to be repaired or replaced as it is sagging in the middle. The kitchen faucet still confounds me as it is completely backwards and can be easily remedied if desired. The hurricane sliding glass doors are extremely heavy and difficult to open and close, and should be an easy fix. The vertical blinds are finicky to operate and can easily be inoperable. The hurricane front door protection threshold is a real tripping hazard. The condo is minimally equipped with pots and pans, but we don’t cook too often there anyway. The mobile app for the washer and dryer was a pleasant surprise and easy to operate. People are friendly. The walk to the beach is a hike but not terrible. Overall, we enjoy our stay very much, even with the few small annoyances noted. Andrew is always very prompt with any repairs or concerns that happen.

Our stay in an apartment on the beach at Marco Island was a big success.

We couldn't fault our choice where the attention to detail was brilliant. The corner unit helps with it's dual aspect. Enjoyed the sun rises but unfortunately you can't see the sunsets from the unit. The kitchen and bathrooms had been updated to a high standard and the storage in the bedrooms was exceptional with more than enough draws and cupboards.

The public rooms in Tower 4 look a little dated with their 1990s furniture but you can't fault the way the place is looked after. It's very smart and tidy. There was constant maintenance and improvement work going on while we were there but it was not intrusive and did not affect our stay.

Previously we'd stayed in houses on the island and this was the first time we had used an apartment on the beach. We were apprehensive about making the change but were pleasantly surprised and would not hesitate about using an apartment in the future.

As with previous lets we can only praise MIVP. They look after you with a simple and light touch and are helpful and willing. We had a simple issue with the waste disposal which had no affect on our stay and a low priority. I reported it before we left to ensure the issue was rectified for the next let. MIVP responded within minutes and the faulty part was replaced within a couple of hours.

Exceptional service.

We had a wonderful week staying at the South Sease Tower 4. The room was amazing and well stocked. There was even a blender. The beach supplies were great. Chairs, cart and cooler were provided. The cooler was a little on the small side but everything else was perfect!

This was our second trip to this condo- it was just as awesome as the first time!
Great condo-wonderful location- great staff both at Marco Island rentals and South Seas!
Owner of condo thinks of everything from beach chairs to coffee filters.
We have already booked for 2023!

This a beautiful, updated condo with amazing views of the Gulf. We had a few snafus while we were there but they did not take away from how wonderful our vacation was:
- Like others have said, the mattress in the master bedroom is awful. It's like a marshmallow with a huge crater in the middle.
- There is only one tiny cutting board in the unit, which barely fit an apple; and only 2 small skillets. A few larger items would be great.
- The pool was closed for the first 3 days of our stay due to a "chemical imbalance," and unfortunately, we found the beach cart and beach umbrella broken when we arrived. The rental company and condo owners were wonderful and immediately replaced the umbrella and ordered a new cart (although it did not arrive before we departed). Having all of the beach gear was wonderful.
South Seas is in a great location: easy drive/walk/bike ride to restaurants and shops, but still quiet.

Location was fantastic and the property was beautiful. The pool was very nice, and you could not ask for better access to the beach. The value for the cost was good. However, it would not take much to improve from a good experience to a great one. All the beds were bad. The main bedroom bed especially was creaky and very uncomfortable. I prefer a firm mattress and my wife prefers a soft one, and we both hated the bed. I had to sleep on the couch because the bed gave me a backache. The policies of the rental agency also leaves something to be desired. A 10 am checkout is too early, and what vacationer wants to spend the last day of vacation doing laundry (as required by the property)? There were also other minor issues like very limited pans for cooking, no dustbin for sweeping, no recycling container. I would not recommend.

We truly enjoyed the views from the balcony to include the sunrise every morning and the beach was beautiful. I think it would be much better if adequate supplies were provided to include enough pillows, towels, and cookware and more comfortable beds. There were also way too many rules for this place and we were kicked off the pickle ball courts at 730pm by a very miserable resident who said we were breaking the rules.

Had a great time in a beautiful property in a wonderful location

Great unit. Very clean and beautiful

We loved everything about the unit, it was absolutely beautiful and the property was so clean. Andrew was a great advisor for restaurants or any questions. We will definitely be back. We loved it ❤️

We stayed in this wonderful condo in July 2021. It was updated beautifully and mostly well equipped. We enjoyed cooking, playing the available games in the evenings or during a rainy day, lounging and eating meals on the balcony, watching the sunrise on the small balcony just off the kitchen. The provided beach cart was a definite must have and used everyday for the trek to the beach. We spent time at the pool which has an attendant that makes sure everyone is following the rules. The only 2 critiques are - the master bedroom mattress really needs to be replaced. It slopes to the middle and isn’t comfortable. The second is there was no large skillet for cooking. There were only a couple of small skillets and a larger pot. Other than these 2 things are stay was great!

Absolutely wonderful views and very clean. The only thing was checking in was a bit confusing... going to 3 separate buildings.

We had such a fabulous time at this gorgeous condo. It was sparkling clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed our morning coffee while looking at the million dollar views. We took advantage of the location, right on the beach, and used the beach equipment that was so thoughtfully provided by the owner. We can't thank you enough for such an amazing week in paradise!

This condo has been beautifully renovated. The kitchen and bathrooms are wonderful. It is lovely, clean and has a wonderful view. We had a great week!.

We had a great time. This was our 3rd or 4th time to stay at SST. Always a great time.

We had a great stay in the condo. Very clean amid updated. Just as seen in pictures. Loved the balcony patio areas. Thankful for beach cart to bring all supplies (chairs amd umbrella were so great to have!). Check in staff was so pleasant.

This condo has been recently updated and was just as pictured on the website. It is tastefully decorated and had most everything we wanted or needed. Everything is new, so that is nice. Everything was pretty clean except for the windows. I could tell they had not been washed (both inside and outside) prior to our arrival, and they needed to be. Aside from that, no complaints.

The Condo has windows on 3 sides, so it feels very open and spacious (and you can see a long way to the East and West). We liked having the view over the Island as well as the beach.

Note that the balcony does get nice morning and early afternoon sun, so if the pool or beach is not your "thing" (and you want sun), you have that option. They did have beach towels and beach equipment (chairs, etc), but we did not use them.

I thought I would miss not having a washer and dryer in the unit, but I didn't. It was easy to use the communal Laundry and I never saw anyone else using it during the time I was.

This condo is nice and had everything we needed except for a few minor things. We could have used an additional set of pots and pans as well as a large frying pan (there isn't one). Also, they do not have a smart TV (easily remedied by bringing your own device). The hair dryer (there was only 1) did not work, so I had to buy one. I did leave it there, but don't expect much for the $10 bucks I spent.

This was our first time staying at SST4. It's a bit of a fiasco to get checked in there (check in at the guard gate, then go to the office in building 3 - along with everyone else doing the same thing at the same time). Note that the parking pass the gate guard gives you is good for 24hrs, so you could delay the office check in until the next day (we'll probably do that next time).

Marco Island vacation properties was very professional, accommodating and friendly!

Amazing views of sunset and sunrise in January and February. Great view of the ocean. Convenient to walk to some restaurants and shops.
