Madeira Condos Offer Resort Living without Leaving Home

For resort living at home, consider the exclusive Madeira Condos of Marco Island. This beachfront condo development first opened its doors to residents in the mid 2000s and has the distinction of being the final beachfront condo property to go up on the island.

In terms of some of the upscale amenities, Madeira has tennis courts, pickleball courts and a fitness center, as well as a movie theater and social room. A beachside swimming pool with a bar overlooks the sand and water. Some dedicated guest suites are sometimes available, too, plus some climate-controlled storage space and covered parking.

Memberships are also possible at Rookery Bay Golf Club. The dog- and cat-friendly property has private elevator access, too. Home to only around 100 private residences, you’ll find Madeira in the Crescent Beach area of Marco Island.

New buyers may be able to find resale condos on the market that range from around 2,600 to even sometimes an impressive 6,500 square feet of living space. While most of the lower floors of Madeira have eight units per floor, there are just four units per floor when it comes to the Estate Residences and there are only two residences on the ultra-exclusive penthouse level.

This could mean finding a two-bedroom residence up for sale, a three-bedroom, or possibly even a four-bedroom. The largest residences are the five-bedroom penthouse units. On the inside, expect to find floor-to-ceiling windows as well as gourmet kitchens with top appliances.

You may even fire wet bars, fireplaces, and built-ins with the condos of Madeira. Common features and finishes include quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and either marble or travertine flooring. You will also find some private outdoor space, although some of the largest residences at Madeira come with multiple balconies and sweeping views of the city and the Gulf.
