St Tropez Condos at Pelican Bay

5501 Heron Point Drive • Boutique 15-Story High-Rise • 52 Residences • Gulf, Clam Pass & Mangrove Views

St Tropez at Pelican Bay is a boutique high-rise condominium at 5501 Heron Point Drive in Naples. Completed in 1988, the approximately 15-story tower contains just 52 residences, giving owners a lower-density high-rise experience with Gulf of Mexico, Outer Clam Pass, mangrove-preserve, bay and tropical landscape views depending on floor and residence position.

St Tropez Is a Pelican Bay High-Rise

St Tropez belongs in Pelican Bay's high-rise condominium market. Its relatively small number of residences makes it more intimate than many neighboring towers, but the property should still be analyzed using the permanent characteristics that drive high-rise value: floor, stack, Gulf exposure, Clam Pass and mangrove views, floor plan, outdoor living, parking and renovation.

Buyers should therefore avoid comparing St Tropez primarily with Pelican Bay low-rise condominiums simply because the tower has a quieter residential atmosphere.

Only 52 Residences

St Tropez is one of Pelican Bay's more intimate high-rise buildings. With approximately 52 condominiums, the tower offers a lower-density ownership experience than many larger Pelican Bay buildings while retaining elevated coastal views and high-rise amenities.

Scarcity also means that genuinely comparable St Tropez sales may be limited during some periods, making careful adjustment especially important.

Floor Plans & Residence Types

St Tropez residences range from more efficient approximately 1,100- to 1,300-square-foot layouts to materially larger corner and upper-level configurations that can extend above 2,000 square feet.

Floor plan, bedroom configuration, exposure and outdoor space should be established before applying another St Tropez transaction as a comparable.

Floor Elevation affects Gulf horizon, Clam Pass visibility, mangrove perspective, privacy and sunset exposure.
Stack Residence position determines principal view direction, natural light and floor-plan configuration.
Floor Plan Compare recorded living area, bedroom count, den flexibility, storage and room proportions.
Corner Position Additional windows and multiple exposures can materially distinguish larger residences.
Recommended St Tropez valuation sequence: floor → stack → Gulf and Outer Clam Pass exposure → mangrove foreground → corner position → floor plan → recorded living area → open lanai → parking → storage → renovation → storm protection → association condition → closest St Tropez comparable sales.

Floor Height & Gulf Views

Floor elevation is one of the most important St Tropez value characteristics. Higher residences can provide broader Gulf horizons and increased water visibility, while lower and middle levels may emphasize the mangrove preserve, Clam Pass and tropical landscape.

Actual sightlines should carry more weight than floor number alone because stack and orientation can create materially different views on the same level.

Outer Clam Pass Views

St Tropez's Heron Point location provides distinctive coastal views toward Outer Clam Pass and the surrounding estuary. Depending on residence position, buyers may see bay water, mangroves and the Gulf horizon layered within the same view.

Mangrove Preserve Views

Pelican Bay's protected coastal preserve creates a natural foreground west of the building. Mangrove views can provide privacy, greenery and a sense of separation from development even in residences with more limited direct Gulf visibility.

Open, Screen-Free Lanais

One of St Tropez's notable architectural characteristics is its open lanai design. Rather than enclosing every outdoor area behind conventional screens, many residences preserve a clearer visual connection with the Gulf, Clam Pass and preserve.

Buyers should compare usable depth, exposure, wind, afternoon sun, railings, flooring, drainage and the condition of exterior doors and glazing.

  • Gulf and Clam Pass orientation
  • Mangrove foreground
  • Sunset exposure
  • Open versus modified configuration
  • Usable seating and dining depth
  • Wind exposure
  • Sliding-door condition
  • Impact protection
  • Association maintenance responsibility

Renovated vs. Original St Tropez Condos

Because St Tropez was completed in 1988, renovation depth can materially affect value and buyer demand. Some condominiums have been comprehensively modernized while others retain more traditional finishes and systems.

  • Kitchen and bathroom reconstruction
  • Cabinetry and countertops
  • Premium appliances
  • Flooring and millwork
  • Lighting and electrical upgrades
  • Permitted floor-plan modifications
  • HVAC equipment
  • Water heater
  • Plumbing improvements
  • Windows and sliding glass doors
  • Storm shutters or impact protection
  • Leak-detection and water-shutoff systems

Impact Glass & Storm Protection

Storm protection should be verified residence by residence. Buyers may encounter impact-rated windows and sliding doors, shutters or combinations of approved protection.

Current condominium documents should determine owner-versus-association responsibility for exterior openings and future replacement.

Parking & Storage

St Tropez provides covered and assigned parking arrangements, but the exact space and legal rights should be confirmed for each residence.

Storage and bicycle facilities can also vary. Buyers should verify precisely what conveys rather than assuming all units have identical rights.

Pool & Spa

St Tropez includes a resident pool and spa environment with generous outdoor lounging areas. These building-level amenities supplement Pelican Bay's private Gulf beaches and community recreation.

Current operating procedures, guest rules and future improvement plans should be confirmed through the condominium association.

Fitness, Community & Game Rooms

Building amenities include fitness and resident gathering facilities that support both seasonal and year-round ownership. Current equipment, access procedures and operating hours should be verified through management.

Tennis & Recreation

St Tropez includes building-level recreation in addition to Pelican Bay's broader tennis, pickleball, fitness and wellness programs. Buyers should verify current court configuration and association rules rather than relying on older sales descriptions.

Guest Accommodations

Guest accommodations can provide owners with additional space for visiting family and friends without requiring a larger permanent residence.

Reservation procedures, charges, stay limits and seasonal availability should be confirmed through current building policies.

Association, Reserves & High-Rise Due Diligence

St Tropez buyers should review the condominium association as carefully as the individual residence. Coastal high-rise ownership requires attention to the building envelope, mechanical systems, elevators, parking structure, insurance and reserve funding.

  • Current operating budget
  • Reserve balances and scheduled contributions
  • Available engineering and structural documentation
  • Milestone-inspection information where applicable
  • Structural reserve documentation where applicable
  • Master insurance and deductibles
  • Current and proposed assessments
  • Roof and exterior projects
  • Waterproofing and lanai work
  • Elevator and mechanical systems
  • Parking structure maintenance
  • Pool and amenity projects
  • Window and sliding-door responsibilities
  • Rental, pet and remodeling provisions

South Pelican Bay Location

St Tropez's southern Pelican Bay location provides convenient access to Waterside Shops, Artis—Naples, The Baker Museum, Park Shore and other central Naples destinations while retaining Pelican Bay's private coastal environment.

Beach Tram Convenience

St Tropez is positioned close to Pelican Bay's private tram system, with convenient access from the building area toward the preserve boardwalks and Gulf-front facilities.

The broader Pelican Bay lifestyle includes private Gulf beaches, attended beach services, beachfront dining, fitness and wellness facilities, tennis, pickleball, walking and biking paths and non-motorized coastal recreation.

Club Pelican Bay Golf Membership

St Tropez condominium ownership and Club Pelican Bay golf membership are separate. Purchasing a St Tropez residence should not be interpreted as automatically conveying private golf membership.

Golf-oriented buyers should verify current membership categories, eligibility, availability, initiation or capital requirements, annual dues and privileges directly through current Club information.

How to Compare St Tropez Values

Same-building transactions generally provide the strongest starting point when floor, stack, living area and view are sufficiently comparable.

A larger high-floor corner residence with broad Gulf exposure should not automatically be valued from a smaller interior-stack condominium simply because both are located within St Tropez.

After selecting the closest St Tropez evidence, adjust for Gulf and Clam Pass visibility, mangrove foreground, open lanai, parking, storage, renovation, impact protection and association condition before expanding to another Pelican Bay tower.

Buying a St Tropez Condo

Buyers should begin with floor, stack, floor plan and coastal exposure, then compare Gulf and Clam Pass visibility, mangrove foreground, open lanai, parking, storage, renovation, storm protection, major systems and association condition.

The St Tropez-specific property search and market-report links above keep the first stage of research focused on this boutique tower instead of blending unrelated Pelican Bay property types into the valuation.

Selling a St Tropez Condo

St Tropez sellers should document the permanent characteristics buyers cannot reproduce through remodeling: floor, stack, corner position, recorded living area, Gulf and Clam Pass exposure, mangrove view, outdoor living, parking and storage.

Permitted renovation, HVAC, plumbing, electrical improvements, windows, sliding doors and hurricane protection can then be documented separately and compared with the closest active St Tropez competition and recent same-building sales.
