For some people, a huge house in Southwest Florida is the ultimate goal.  For others, the simplicity of condo living sounds much more inviting.  While it may be simpler, condo living doesn’t have to be boring.  Cape Marco offers a luxury beachfront condo lifestyle on Marco Island.  Every day is a holiday when you live in Cape Marco.

Cape Marco, Marco Island

A private gated community, Cape Marco consists of six separate high rise buildings for their residents to choose from.  Each building offers its own unique brand of beachfront living.  Whether you want the ultimate in luxury amenities or seek a more casual yet sophisticated lifestyle, Cape Marco has just the right fit for you.

Cape Marco – Belize

Built in 2004, Cape Marco Belize contains 148 units in its pet-friendly building.  Residents can own one pet up to 25 lbs in size per unit.  It’s situated on the very tip of the Marco Island peninsula.  Rentals in Belize can be taken out for no less than 90 days at a time as many as four times per year.  So, this could be a great opportunity for investors looking for vacation properties to rent.  Floor plans range from two to five bedrooms.

Cape Marco – Cozumel

Cape Marco Cozumel sits right on the peninsula with the Belize.  Cozumel was constructed in 1998.  This 120 unit building also allows small pets up to 25 lbs with a limit of one per residence.  Cape Marco Cozumel residents enjoy spectacular views of the Gulf of Mexico’s stunning emerald waters.  If you don’t feel like venturing out into the gulf, spend the day lounging around the pool or relaxing in the on-site sauna.  Cozumel features two and three bedroom floor plans.  When renting, it can be for no less than 90 days at a time.

Cape Marco – Merida

Cape Marco Merida was the first luxury condominium building conceived in Cape Marco.  In fact, its 1992 construction pre-dates Cape Marco itself.  It features 90 beautiful high end condos covering 12 stories.  Every condo has its own private terrace facing the gulf.  Merida features two and three bedroom floors plans.  Furry family members are welcome, too, as long as they weigh 25 lbs or less.  Only one per unit.  Unlike many of the other buildings in Cape Marco, Merida allows 30 day minimum rentals, perfect for renting out when you’re not there.

Cape Marco – Monterrey

Built in 1996, Cape Marco Monterrey looks over the Caxambas Pass as well as the Ten Thousand Islands to the south.  The exquisite architectural design of this 136 unit building takes your breath away.  Guests and residents take full advantage of the heated pool, tennis courts, state-of-the-art fitness center and fishing dock.  They allow a minimum of a 60 day rental period two times per year.  While residents may house one pet up to 25 lbs in size, renters, guests and family members aren’t allowed to bring their pets on-site.

Cape Marco – Tampico

Sitting at the northernmost point of Cape Marco, Tampico was built in 1994.  Residents of this 96 unit building can own as many as two pets up to 25 lbs in size each per condo.  Former Speaker of the House John Boehner loved Tampico so much that he bought one of the units here.  Like Belize and Cozumel, rentals are allowed for a minimum of 90 days at a time in Tampico.

Cape Marco – Veracruz

The newest building in Cape Marco, Veracruz was constructed in 2005.  This building features 123 units consisting of three and four bedroom condos.  Cape Marco allows one pet per unit up to 25 lbs.  While Veracruz allows its residents to rent out their units for a minimum of 30 days at a time, many residents choose not to.  They prefer to make Veracruz their own private residence.  One walk along the boardwalk to the white sandy beaches beyond and you’ll understand why.
