Princess Del Mar is a direct Gulf-front condominium at 174 S Collier Boulevard on Marco Island's Crescent Beach. Completed in 1980, the 13-story building contains only approximately 72 residences, creating a relatively low-density beachfront ownership environment with substantial two- and three-bedroom floor plans, penthouse residences, broad Gulf views, private balconies and direct beach access.
Princess Del Mar occupies an appealing position in the Marco Island beachfront market because it combines larger established residences with a significantly lower residence count than many of the island's larger high-rise communities. Inventory can therefore be limited, particularly when a buyer is targeting a specific floor, stack, residence size or penthouse.

Princess Del Mar at 174 S Collier Boulevard
Princess Del Mar occupies a direct beachfront site along the central portion of Marco Island's Crescent Beach. Owners can move from the building and common recreational areas directly to the sand without driving to a public beach access or crossing South Collier Boulevard.
The address also provides convenient access to restaurants, hotels, shopping, recreation and island services along the Collier Boulevard corridor. That combination can appeal to buyers who want a true beach relationship while remaining close to the center of Marco Island.
Low-Density Beachfront Ownership
Princess Del Mar contains only approximately 72 residences in a 13-story tower. This is an important distinction when comparing it with larger beachfront buildings containing well over 100 or 200 condominiums.
Lower residence count can result in less frequent inventory turnover, so a buyer waiting for a particular floor plan, stack or penthouse may encounter periods with few directly comparable properties available.
Princess Del Mar Two-Bedroom Condos
Two-bedroom Princess Del Mar residences commonly provide approximately 1,550 square feet or more of interior living area, depending on the exact configuration.
Many provide generous living and dining spaces, substantial primary suites, guest accommodations, private outdoor living, storage and a direct visual relationship with the Gulf or beach.
Bedroom count should not be used by itself to estimate value. A conventional two-bedroom unit and a larger two-bedroom penthouse can differ materially in living area, balcony configuration, floor elevation and scarcity.
Three-Bedroom Princess Del Mar Residences
Princess Del Mar also contains three-bedroom homes that provide additional guest capacity and privacy. These residences should generally be analyzed separately from the building's conventional two-bedroom units.
Buyers should compare living area, number of bathrooms, ensuite bedroom arrangements, stack, floor, outdoor living and renovation before deciding which other Princess Del Mar sale provides the strongest comparable evidence.
Princess Del Mar Penthouse Condos
Penthouse residences occupy a separate market category within Princess Del Mar. Selected two-bedroom penthouse configurations approach approximately 1,900 square feet and can provide multiple balconies, extensive glass and panoramic views across the Gulf, beach and Marco Island skyline.
Penthouse value should be analyzed through upper-floor and penthouse transactions before relying on conventional tower-unit averages. Scarcity, ceiling characteristics, floor plan, exposure, balcony configuration, renovation, parking and storage can materially affect pricing.
Gulf & Crescent Beach Views
Direct beachfront placement gives Princess Del Mar a permanent western and southwestern relationship with the Gulf of Mexico and Marco Island's broad Crescent Beach.
Exact views depend on stack and floor. Some residences emphasize open Gulf horizon, others provide strong beach and coastline perspectives, while selected upper-floor homes combine water views with Marco Island's skyline.
Same-stack sales are especially useful because they preserve much of the permanent orientation while allowing an adjustment for floor elevation and interior condition.
Southwest Exposure & Marco Island Sunsets
Southwest-facing residences can combine Gulf frontage with long perspectives along Marco Island's shoreline and evening sunset exposure.
Buyers should inspect the actual view from the primary living spaces and balconies because building angles, neighboring structures and seasonal sun position can change the experience from one residence line to another.
Private Balconies & Gulf-Front Outdoor Living
Outdoor space is an important part of Princess Del Mar ownership. Residences can include substantial terraces or lanais facing the Gulf, beach or island, and selected floor plans provide more than one outdoor area.
Compare usable depth and width, furniture capacity, orientation, privacy, wind exposure, sun, shade and room access. A functional Gulf-front terrace can materially distinguish otherwise similar residences.
Direct Crescent Beach Access
Princess Del Mar provides private access from the condominium grounds to Marco Island's Gulf beach. This permanent shoreline relationship should be valued differently from a condominium that offers Gulf views but requires owners to use a separate public access.
Direct access supports swimming, walking, shelling, paddle sports and sunset viewing without leaving the residential property.
Gulf-Side Pool & Spa
Princess Del Mar provides a heated pool and spa within its beachfront recreational setting, offering owners an alternative to Gulf swimming while remaining close to the shoreline.
Buyers should compare pool orientation, available sunlight, seating, landscaping and current guest procedures rather than considering only whether the building has a pool.
Tennis & Pickleball
Tennis and pickleball facilities add meaningful recreational value to an established Gulf-front property where available land can be limited.
Court configuration, reservation procedures, operating hours and guest policies should be verified with current association information.
Fitness, Sauna & Wellness Amenities
Princess Del Mar includes an on-site fitness center together with sauna facilities. These amenities complement beach walking, swimming, tennis, pickleball and other outdoor recreation.
Equipment, hours and operating procedures may change and should be confirmed through current management.
Guest Accommodations
Guest-suite accommodations can provide useful overflow space for owners who want to host family or friends without purchasing a larger private residence.
Availability, reservation periods, fees and guest procedures should be confirmed directly with the association before being treated as a purchase decision factor.
Social Room, Library & Indoor Recreation
Princess Del Mar provides resident social and gathering spaces in addition to its beach, pool and court amenities. Common areas have included social rooms, supporting kitchen facilities, library and game or billiard areas.
These spaces give residents additional options for private events and community activities outside the individual condominium.
Covered & Garage Parking
Princess Del Mar residences can be associated with covered or garage parking, and current building records show individually assigned spaces with certain condominiums.
Confirm the exact parking space transferring with the residence.
Verify whether parking is deeded, assigned or a limited common element.
Review space dimensions and location.
Confirm second-vehicle and guest-parking procedures.
Verify current electric-vehicle charging rules.
Private Storage
Individual residences can include separate storage lockers or other private storage rights. This can be particularly useful for luggage, beach equipment, seasonal furnishings and other personal property.
Storage location, dimensions and the legal right transferring with the unit should be confirmed during due diligence.
Princess Del Mar Rental Rules
Historical Princess Del Mar condominium information has identified an approximately 90-day minimum rental period together with limits on leasing frequency.
This creates a more residential ownership profile than Marco Island beachfront buildings designed around weekly leasing.
Rental rules can change. Buyers planning to lease should obtain the current declaration, amendments and association rules and verify minimum term, permitted leases per year, tenant applications, approval requirements and fees before purchase.
Pets at Princess Del Mar
Historical and current property information indicates that owner pets may be permitted subject to association approval and restrictions.
Buyers should verify current limits involving number, type, size or weight, common-area use and tenant pets directly through the written association policy.
Impact Glass & Hurricane Protection
Princess Del Mar was completed in 1980, and individual owners have completed different levels of storm-protection improvement.
Selected residences have impact-resistant windows and sliding doors, while others may use different combinations of impact openings and shutters. Buyers should inspect the actual residence rather than assuming all condominiums have identical protection.
Renovated vs. Original Princess Del Mar Condos
More than four decades of individual ownership have created substantial differences in interior condition.
Renovated homes may include updated kitchens and bathrooms, modern flooring, custom cabinetry, new lighting, impact glass and newer mechanical systems. Other units may retain more original interiors and provide an opportunity for a buyer to create a personalized renovation.
Permanent features should be valued before finishes: floor plan, living area, stack, floor elevation, Gulf exposure, balcony, parking and storage.
Association Reserves, Insurance & Building Condition
A Princess Del Mar purchase involves evaluating the condominium association as carefully as the private residence. Established beachfront buildings have long-term responsibilities involving concrete, balconies, waterproofing, elevators, roofing, mechanical systems and insurance.
Operating Budget Review recurring expenses, current fees, association services and known financial obligations.
Reserve Funding Review reserve balances, applicable reserve-study information and planned funding for major components.
Master Insurance Review building coverage, deductibles and areas of owner responsibility.
Structural Information Review applicable milestone, engineering and inspection documentation.
Concrete & Balconies Review completed and planned concrete, waterproofing, railing and balcony work.
Capital Projects Review roofing, elevators, painting, exterior systems and other major work.
Special Assessments
Buyers should determine whether special assessments are outstanding, approved, contemplated or under discussion and understand how any existing obligation will be treated in the purchase contract.
Association condition should be considered alongside the residence itself. A renovated interior does not eliminate exposure to future building-level capital expenses.
How to Value a Princess Del Mar Condo
Princess Del Mar valuation should begin with recent same-building transactions whenever comparable evidence exists.
Residence category: conventional two-bedroom, larger two-bedroom penthouse or three-bedroom residence.
Living area: compare genuinely similar interior square footage.
Stack: same-stack sales best preserve permanent orientation.
Floor: elevation affects privacy, horizon and beach relationship.
View: compare Gulf, southwest, beach and island exposures.
Balcony: evaluate number, size, orientation and usability.
Parking: verify exact parking rights.
Storage: confirm locker or other private storage.
Storm protection: compare impact openings and shutters.
Renovation: adjust only after permanent characteristics are matched.
Association condition: account for reserves, insurance, assessments and capital projects.
Princess Del Mar Compared with Other Beachfront Condos
Princess Del Mar's approximately 72 residences give it a lower-density profile than many Marco Island beachfront towers.
Summit House provides greater building height and larger conventional two-bedroom floor plans, while Chalet of San Marco offers another established source of substantial two- and three-bedroom beachfront residences.
Duchess provides larger three-bedroom choices and a similarly established Gulf-front environment, while Madeira belongs to a newer luxury generation with much larger Estate Residences and penthouses.
Somerset belongs in a different ownership comparison when weekly rental flexibility is a major objective.
Buying a Princess Del Mar Condo
Buyers should first establish whether the target property is a conventional two-bedroom residence, larger penthouse or three-bedroom home. Next identify the exact stack, floor elevation, Gulf exposure, balcony configuration, parking and storage.
Renovation quality should be considered after those permanent real-estate characteristics are aligned. Association financial statements, reserves, insurance, structural information and planned projects should be reviewed before closing.
Selling a Princess Del Mar Condo
Princess Del Mar sellers should begin with recent same-building transactions from the closest residence category rather than a broad Marco Island beachfront average.
Floor plan, living area, stack, elevation, Gulf exposure, balconies, parking and storage establish the property's permanent competitive position. Renovation, impact protection, mechanical systems and furnishings can then distinguish it from the closest comparable residences.
Princess Del Mar & Waterfront Condo Market Activity
With only approximately 72 residences, same-plan Princess Del Mar sales can periodically be limited.
The Marco Island Waterfront Condo Market Report provides broader live beachfront and waterfront condominium context. Use that report for market direction, then narrow back to Princess Del Mar and the correct residence category before estimating an individual value.
