Bayside Club • 838 W Elkcam Circle • Smokehouse Bay • Marco Island, Florida
The Bayside Club Marco Island Market Report provides building-focused information on condominium listings, recent sales and property values at 838 W Elkcam Circle, overlooking Smokehouse Bay.
Bayside Club is an established waterfront condominium community built in 1981, with approximately 33 residences. Its location combines direct Gulf-access boating, bay views, leased dock facilities, a swimming pool and spa, tennis and pickleball courts and proximity to the Esplanade waterfront district.
Bayside Club is a small resale market. Consequently, a broad Marco Island waterfront condominium average is not a reliable substitute for a property-specific valuation based on relevant Bayside Club transactions.
Bayside Club Market Overview
How to Read the Bayside Club Market Report
The native RealGeeks report tracks MLS activity within the selected community. Different transaction statuses provide different kinds of market evidence.
Active Bayside Club Listings
Active listings reveal current seller asking prices and competition. They do not establish the prices buyers have actually paid.
A listing should be compared against similar floor plans, floor elevations, residence positions and Smokehouse Bay views. Renovation, parking and available boating arrangements should be considered separately.
Pending Condominiums
Pending contracts can indicate buyer interest in a particular residence, but the final sold price should not be assumed before closing.
Recent Closed Sales
Closed transactions provide an important basis for estimating Bayside Club values. However, one or two sales can create misleading averages in a building containing only 33 residences.
Particular care is required when comparing an approximately 1,260-square-foot condominium with a substantially larger 1,620-square-foot floor plan.
Bayside Club Floor Plans and Price Per Square Foot
Bayside Club's resale inventory includes multiple floor-plan categories. Two frequently documented sizes are approximately 1,260 and 1,620 square feet of air-conditioned interior living space.
| Residence Type | Approximate Living Area | Important Differences |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Two-Bedroom | 1,260 sq. ft. | Floor, water view, balcony, renovation and parking |
| Larger Two-Bedroom | 1,620 sq. ft. | Selected plans offer two-and-a-half bathrooms, generous living space and extended screened balconies |
Verify the recorded air-conditioned area of every condominium. Total reported area may include screened balconies or other non-air-conditioned space.
Other or modified configurations may exist. Buyers should confirm the recorded condominium plan rather than assume every residence fits one of these two examples.
Smokehouse Bay Views and Residence Location
Bayside Club's direct Smokehouse Bay setting provides opportunities for expansive water views, marine activity and attractive evening light.
Not every condominium offers the same outlook. Floor elevation, end-unit position, orientation and landscaping may influence the view from the living room and private balcony.
A direct bay-facing residence should be compared first with properties offering similar permanent water exposure.
Screened Balconies and Outdoor Living
Selected Bayside Club floor plans include long screened balconies overlooking Smokehouse Bay.
Compare usable width and depth, view orientation, privacy, waterproofing, railing condition, sliding doors and storm protection.
A functional bay-facing balcony can distinguish otherwise similar two-bedroom residences.
Leased Boat Docks and Direct Gulf Access
Bayside Club offers direct Gulf-access boating from Smokehouse Bay. Current MLS descriptions identify a route without fixed bridges.
Community docks are described as available for lease. This does not mean every condominium includes a deeded or immediately available slip.
- Confirm current dock availability and waiting lists.
- Review leasing terms and annual fees.
- Verify permitted vessel length, beam and draft.
- Inspect water depth and navigation conditions.
- Determine whether tenant dock use is allowed.
- Review the condition and funding of marine infrastructure.
The value of an individual boating opportunity should be considered separately from the condominium's interior living area.
Bayside Club Amenities and Ownership Appeal
Bayside Club offers a community pool and spa, tennis and pickleball facilities, fishing pier, community gathering areas and elevator access.
Other ownership conveniences can include covered parking, storage and access to boating-related facilities.
Amenities support resale appeal, but the cost of maintaining them is also reflected in the association's ongoing financial obligations.
1981 Construction and Capital Improvements
Bayside Club was completed in 1981. Its age makes building maintenance, reserves and engineering documentation important ownership considerations.
Recent 2026 property marketing identifies substantial community improvements including a newer roof, seawall and resurfaced tennis and pickleball courts.
Buyers should verify the status, completion dates, project funding, warranties, reserve effects and any remaining obligations through association records.
Renovated vs. More Original Bayside Club Condos
Individual Bayside Club residences vary considerably in interior renovation and mechanical condition.
Updated condominiums may offer remodeled kitchens and bathrooms, contemporary flooring, impact-resistant windows, improved sliding doors and newer HVAC equipment.
Comparisons should begin with permanent characteristics, including floor plan, elevation, residence position and bay exposure.
Renovation and storm protection should then be used as separate valuation adjustments.
Covered Parking and Storage
Bayside Club residences may have different parking and storage arrangements. Selected properties include covered or assigned carports.
Verify the precise parking spaces, storage rights and any related ownership limitations for the individual condominium.
Association Reserves, Insurance and Assessments
Condominium valuation should account for both the private residence and the financial condition of the building association.
Review current budgets, reserve funding, master insurance, applicable inspections, engineering reports and planned capital projects.
- Operating expenses and current condominium fees
- Reserve funding and applicable structural reserve studies
- Milestone inspections and engineering information, where applicable
- Insurance coverage, deductibles and loss assessments
- Roof replacement documentation and warranties
- Seawall, dock and marine-infrastructure maintenance
- Elevator condition and modernization plans
- Balcony, railing and waterproofing projects
- Approved, pending or contemplated special assessments
A renovated condominium may still be exposed to future common-property expenses. The association's financial and capital condition should therefore be part of the overall valuation.
Bayside Club Rental and Pet Restrictions
Recent Bayside Club MLS information identifies a 30-day minimum lease period and permits up to 12 leases annually.
Published property records also describe restrictive pet policies.
Buyers should confirm current minimum lease terms, rental frequency, approval requirements, tenant rules and pet restrictions through the governing documents.
Preferred Bayside Club valuation sequence: floor plan → verified interior living area → floor elevation → end or interior position → Smokehouse Bay view → screened balcony → parking and storage → verified dock opportunity → impact protection → renovation → association reserves, insurance and assessments → closest relevant Bayside Club sales.

Buying a Bayside Club Condo

Review renovation and hurricane protection together with association financial and structural information.
Rental and pet rules should be verified before making decisions based on intended use.
Selling a Bayside Club Condo
Sellers should begin with relevant Bayside Club sales, separating the smaller and larger two-bedroom floor plans.

Any claimed dock access should be documented accurately rather than described as deeded without confirmation.
