Marco Island • 174 S Collier Boulevard • Crescent Beach • Gulf-Front High-Rise
Princess Del Mar Condos for Sale on Marco Island
Princess Del Mar is a Gulf-front condominium at 174 S Collier Boulevard on Marco Island's Crescent Beach. The 13-story high-rise contains 72 residences and combines direct beach access, panoramic Gulf views and generous two- and three-bedroom floor plans with a substantial beachfront amenity package.
Completed around 1980, Princess Del Mar occupies a central portion of Marco Island's beach corridor beside the Residents' Beach area. The location provides a strong combination of direct sand access, Gulf sunsets and convenience to restaurants, shopping and the rest of the island.
Individual residences differ considerably by floor plan, floor height, end or interior position, balcony exposure, parking, storage, storm protection and renovation. Those differences should be considered before relying on a building-wide price-per-square-foot comparison.

Princess Del Mar at 174 S Collier Boulevard
Princess Del Mar is positioned directly between South Collier Boulevard and Marco Island's wide Gulf beach.
The building rises 13 residential stories and contains approximately 72 condominium residences, creating a smaller ownership environment than many of Marco Island's larger beachfront towers.
Its central-beach location is particularly appealing to buyers who want Gulf frontage without moving to the far northern or southern end of the island.
Princess Del Mar Floor Plans
Current and recent Agent4Naples listings demonstrate several important residence categories within Princess Del Mar.
Conventional two-bedroom, two-bath residences commonly appear around 1,550 square feet, while larger three-bedroom, three-bath residences can provide approximately 1,926 square feet.
Penthouse configurations can differ again, including larger two-bedroom residences with multiple balconies and substantially different garage arrangements.
2 Bedrooms / 2 Baths Current Agent4Naples examples include approximately 1,550 square feet of interior living area.
3 Bedrooms / 3 Baths Larger current residences include approximately 1,926 square feet with three full baths.
Penthouse Residences Upper-level configurations may provide larger interiors, multiple balconies and different parking arrangements.
End / Corner Positions Residence position can provide additional windows, broader Gulf exposure and increased privacy.
Direct Marco Island Beach Access
Princess Del Mar is genuinely beachfront rather than simply beach-adjacent.
Owners can leave the condominium grounds through the community's private beach approach and walk directly onto Marco Island's Crescent Beach.
That permanent relationship with the sand is one of the building's strongest value characteristics and should be distinguished from condominiums requiring a road crossing or public beach access.
Gulf of Mexico & Crescent Beach Views
Current Princess Del Mar listings describe expansive Gulf and beach views from the main living areas and private terraces.
Southwest-facing residences can combine the Gulf, Crescent Beach and Marco Island shoreline in one broad view corridor while also capturing evening sunsets.
Other residence lines may provide additional easterly or island views from secondary balconies.
View orientation matters: compare exactly what is visible from the living room, primary bedroom and principal terrace. Floor height alone does not determine the quality or width of a Gulf view.
Floor Height & Residence Position
Princess Del Mar's 13-story configuration creates distinct lower, middle and upper-floor ownership experiences.
Lower floors can provide a more immediate connection to the beach and pool, while upper floors expand the Gulf horizon and can provide broader coastal and island views.
A high-floor interior residence should not automatically be compared with a lower-floor corner home simply because their bedroom counts are the same.
Private Balconies & Gulf-Front Outdoor Living
Balconies and terraces are a major part of Princess Del Mar residence design.
Current listings include long Gulf-facing terraces and residences with more than one balcony. Selected penthouse layouts provide outdoor access from multiple rooms.
Buyers should compare balcony depth, exposure, railing design, storm shutters, impact sliders, privacy and the usable Gulf view.
Beachfront Pool & Spa
Princess Del Mar provides a Gulf-side swimming pool and spa within its beachfront grounds.
The pool location allows owners to enjoy a resort-style waterfront setting while remaining only steps from the private beach access.
For seasonal residents, the combination of a community pool and direct Gulf frontage can provide the beach lifestyle without the individual maintenance of a private pool.
Fitness Center & Sauna
The condominium includes an exercise and fitness facility together with sauna amenities.
These indoor facilities complement the beach, pool and outdoor recreation areas and can be particularly useful during periods of rain or intense summer heat.
Tennis, Pickleball & Shuffleboard
Princess Del Mar provides a broader racquet and recreation package than many smaller beachfront buildings.
Current listings identify tennis, pickleball and shuffleboard among the available community amenities.
Buyers should confirm current court-use procedures and any association scheduling rules.
Social Room, Library & Billiards
Indoor common areas include spaces for resident gatherings and recreation.
Current property records and listings identify a community or social room, library and billiards among Princess Del Mar's amenities.
These common areas add year-round utility beyond the beachfront facilities.
Guest Suite for Visiting Family & Friends
Princess Del Mar provides guest accommodations that owners may be able to reserve for visiting family or friends, subject to current association procedures and availability.
A guest suite can be especially valuable to owners who prefer a two-bedroom residence but periodically need additional sleeping accommodations.
Barbecue & Outdoor Gathering Areas
Community grilling facilities provide another option for casual outdoor meals after time at the beach or pool.
The location of these amenities within the waterfront grounds reinforces the building's relaxed coastal lifestyle.
Covered Parking & Private Garage Differences
Parking is an important Princess Del Mar comparison point because arrangements can vary by residence.
Many units use assigned or covered parking. Current penthouse inventory also demonstrates that certain residences can have more substantial private garage arrangements, including tandem parking.
Buyers should verify the exact legal parking rights that convey with the condominium rather than assuming all Princess Del Mar residences have identical parking.
Parking can materially affect value: identify the exact parking space or garage, location, access, ownership or assignment and any separate storage before comparing otherwise similar residences.
Private Storage & Beach Equipment
Current Princess Del Mar listings include private storage arrangements in addition to the living area.
Storage can be particularly valuable in a beachfront condominium for beach chairs, bicycles, fishing equipment, luggage and seasonal belongings.
The size and location of the storage area should be confirmed for the exact residence.
Renovated Princess Del Mar Condos
Because Princess Del Mar dates to approximately 1980, individual residences have been renovated to substantially different standards.
Current listings demonstrate updated kitchens and bathrooms, impact-rated windows and sliders, remodeled flooring, upgraded storm protection and modern mechanical systems in selected units.
Renovation quality should be evaluated together with the permanent floor-plan and view characteristics rather than allowing cosmetic finishes alone to drive valuation.
Kitchen Review cabinetry, counters, appliances, electrical work and permitted layout changes.
Bathrooms Evaluate plumbing, fixtures, waterproofing and renovation quality.
Impact Glass Verify impact windows and sliders for the specific residence.
Storm Shutters Determine where shutters remain and whether they are manual or electric.
HVAC Confirm equipment age, service history and remaining useful life.
Permits & Approvals Review association approval and available permits for material alterations.
Princess Del Mar Pet Rules
Published community references indicate that pets can be permitted for owners subject to approval and association restrictions.
Pet eligibility should not be assumed from a prior listing because number, size, breed, tenant and common-area provisions can change.
Buyers purchasing with an animal should obtain the current written Princess Del Mar policy before closing.
Princess Del Mar Rental Considerations
Published Princess Del Mar building references report a 90-day minimum rental period with limitations on annual rental frequency.
This positions Princess Del Mar differently from Marco Island communities designed for weekly vacation rentals.
Investors and seasonal owners should verify the current minimum lease, number of permitted leases per year, tenant approval process, waiting periods and applicable Marco Island rental requirements directly from current governing documents.
Rental rules can change: use the current condominium declaration, rules and association confirmation rather than relying on an older marketing description.
Princess Del Mar Association Due Diligence
A beachfront high-rise purchase requires evaluation of the condominium association as well as the individual residence.
Operating Budget Review current expenses and services included through association fees.
Reserve Funding Compare available reserves with anticipated building projects.
Master Insurance Review current property and wind coverage together with deductibles.
Special Assessments Identify approved, recently completed and reasonably anticipated assessments.
Structural Documentation Review applicable milestone inspection, engineering and reserve study records.
Capital Projects Understand completed, underway and planned roof, exterior, waterproofing, elevator, pool and garage work.
Roof, Exterior & Building Improvements
Current 2026 Agent4Naples listing information reports recent capital work at Princess Del Mar, including a newer roof and exterior painting or waterproofing work.
Because project status and assessment obligations can change, buyers should obtain the association's current project schedule, contracts, engineer reports, meeting minutes and assessment information rather than relying on an MLS summary.
Flood, Wind & Condo Insurance
Direct Gulf frontage makes insurance an important part of Princess Del Mar ownership.
Buyers should compare the association master policy with the individual HO-6 policy and understand wind and flood exposure, deductibles, loss-assessment coverage and responsibility for windows, doors, sliders and interior improvements.
A high-floor residence remains financially connected to the building's overall beachfront exposure even when the individual condo is well above ground level.
Princess Del Mar vs. Summit House
Princess Del Mar and Summit House are both established Gulf-front condominiums along the central Marco Island beach corridor.
Princess Del Mar is a smaller 13-story, 72-residence building, while Summit House rises substantially higher and contains more residences.
A buyer comparing the two should focus on floor-plan size, floor height, balcony configuration, exact Gulf view, parking, guest facilities, association finances, renovation and current carrying costs rather than simply choosing by address.
What Princess Del Mar Buyers Should Compare
2 vs. 3 Bedrooms Separate approximately 1,550-square-foot two-bedroom plans from larger three-bedroom residences.
Penthouse Upper-level residences may have unique dimensions, balconies and parking.
Floor Height Elevation influences Gulf horizon, shoreline perspective and privacy.
Residence Position Corner, end and interior lines can provide very different exposures.
Gulf View Compare direction, width and visibility from the main living areas.
Balconies Evaluate size, number, exposure, screening and storm protection.
Parking Verify assigned covered parking, garage rights and location.
Storage Confirm the size, location and right to the designated storage area.
Impact Protection Verify windows, doors, sliders and shutters residence by residence.
Interior Renovation Separate cosmetic finishes from mechanical and infrastructure work.
Association Financials Review budget, reserves, master insurance and assessments.
Building Projects Understand recent and planned capital improvements.
Rental Rules Published references report a 90-day minimum; verify current documents.
Pet Rules Confirm current owner and tenant pet eligibility and approval rules.
How to Value a Princess Del Mar Condo
Princess Del Mar should be valued first against other Princess Del Mar residences.
A 1,550-square-foot two-bedroom residence should generally be compared with the closest two-bedroom floor plans before giving substantial weight to a 1,926-square-foot three-bedroom residence or a unique penthouse.
Princess Del Mar valuation sequence: floor-plan category → living area → floor height → residence position → Gulf and beach view → balcony configuration → parking and storage → impact protection → renovation → association condition.

Selling a Princess Del Mar Condo
Princess Del Mar sellers should begin with the features that cannot be reproduced through interior renovation: residence line, living area, floor height, Gulf orientation, balcony configuration, parking and storage.
Impact glass, storm shutters, kitchen and bath renovation, mechanical improvements and furnishing can then be used to differentiate the residence from competing units.
Recent transactions within the same floor-plan family typically provide a stronger starting point than sales in unrelated Marco Island beachfront towers.
