Del Mar is a classic beachfront cooperative community located in the prestigious Coquina Sands neighborhood of Naples, Florida. Perfectly positioned at 1300 Gulf Shore Boulevard North, directly across from the Gulf of Mexico and Lowdermilk Beach Park, Del Mar offers homeowners an exceptional opportunity to enjoy Naples' coveted beach lifestyle at an attractive price point. Originally completed in 1966, this well-maintained mid-rise community has become one of Coquina Sands' most recognizable residential buildings, combining timeless coastal charm with an unbeatable location just minutes from downtown Naples.
Situated at the corner of Gulf Shore Boulevard North and Banyan Boulevard, Del Mar enjoys one of Naples' most desirable coastal addresses. Residents are steps from Lowdermilk Beach Park, where sugar-white sand beaches, picnic pavilions, volleyball courts, and breathtaking Gulf sunsets are part of everyday life. Fifth Avenue South, Third Street South, Venetian Village, Waterside Shops, Artis—Naples, and the Naples Beach Club, A Four Seasons Resort, are all only minutes away. Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) is approximately 35 minutes away, making Del Mar equally attractive to full-time residents and seasonal homeowners.
Completed in 1966, Del Mar consists of 83 cooperative residences spread across two seven-story buildings, creating a welcoming beachfront community with a relaxed coastal atmosphere. Residences generally feature two-bedroom, two-bathroom floor plans ranging from approximately 850 to 995 square feet. Many homes offer private lanais, abundant natural light, Gulf or garden views, impact-resistant windows and doors, and updated interiors featuring open-concept kitchens, quartz or granite countertops, custom cabinetry, luxury flooring, premium appliances, and designer coastal finishes. Several recent renovations have transformed these residences into modern beach retreats while preserving the community's classic character.
One of Del Mar's defining features is its outstanding location directly across the street from the Gulf of Mexico. Residents enjoy convenient beach access within minutes, allowing for daily walks along Naples' famous shoreline, swimming, paddleboarding, shell collecting, and year-round sunset views. Upper-floor residences offer beautiful Gulf, bay, and treetop vistas, while lower-level homes overlook the lush tropical landscaping and pool courtyard.
Residents enjoy a thoughtfully designed collection of amenities that complement Naples' relaxed coastal lifestyle. Community amenities include a beautifully landscaped heated swimming pool, a charming tiki hut, barbecue grills, picnic area, bicycle storage, elevators, secure building access, beautifully maintained tropical landscaping, common laundry facilities, and additional resident storage. The pool courtyard provides a peaceful oasis for relaxing after a day at the beach.
As a cooperative (co-op) community, Del Mar offers a unique ownership structure that has helped preserve its quiet residential atmosphere and financial stability. The association maintains owner-friendly standards while preserving the building's peaceful environment. Pets are generally not permitted, and owners may lease their residences subject to association rules, typically allowing limited annual rentals with minimum lease terms.
One of Del Mar's greatest advantages is its exceptional walkability. Residents can stroll across the street to Lowdermilk Beach, bike along scenic Gulf Shore Boulevard, or reach the shopping, dining, galleries, and entertainment of Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South within minutes. Nearby Charleston Square, Venetian Village, Artis—Naples, championship golf courses, and luxury spas provide endless opportunities for recreation and entertainment.
Real estate within Del Mar remains highly desirable because of its beachfront location, cooperative ownership, affordable entry into Coquina Sands, and limited inventory. Buyers are consistently drawn to the opportunity to enjoy Gulf access, updated residences, and maintenance-free living in one of Naples' premier coastal neighborhoods. Whether searching for a seasonal retreat, retirement residence, or long-term investment, Del Mar continues to represent one of the best values for beachside ownership in Naples.
