Park Shore Melinda Gunther December 19, 2025
There’s a particular moment at La Mer that never gets old. You step out, feel the Gulf breeze before you even see the water, and suddenly your whole day slows down. This is Park Shore at its most effortless, toes-in-the-sand mornings, Venetian Village dinners, and that peaceful, polished feeling that makes Naples, Naples.
True beachfront “first position” on the sand at 4051 Gulf Shore Blvd N.
A classic, established high-rise delivered in 1978, with an atrium-style design and a strong sense of community.
Right-sized luxury: generous layouts without the upkeep of an estate home
Park Shore convenience: quick access to Venetian Village, Waterside Shops, and Old Naples when you want the energy, and calm when you do not
La Mer is one of those buildings that feels “known” in the best way, established, confident, and genuinely beachfront. It is a 17-story building with 104 residences, and the central open atrium gives it a bright, breezy personality that stands out from more traditional corridor towers.
Many buyers love La Mer because it delivers what matters most in Park Shore: a real beach lifestyle paired with an easy, lock-and-leave rhythm.
This is the type of place where the beach is not an “outing.” It is simply part of your routine. Morning walk. Midday swim. Sunset glass of wine. Repeat.
On-property amenities include a gated entry, security, a beachfront pool and spa, fitness facilities, social spaces, guest suites, and recreational courts like tennis and basketball.
Expect spacious floor plans for the era, with the kind of proportions that still feel livable today. Views vary by position and elevation, but the headline is consistent: you are living on one of Naples’ most prized stretches of sand, with Park Shore’s refined, residential feel behind you.
It’s a 1978 building, so your best value plays often come down to renovation level, mechanical updates, and how thoughtfully a unit has been modernized.
Review rules early: La Mer does not allow pets, and leasing is typically 90-day minimum terms, up to two leases per year (Melinda will verify this if you are considering renting your condo).
Budget like a pro: confirm reserves, recent or upcoming projects, and any assessments. In beachfront buildings, timing matters.
Beach-first buyers who want sand, sunset, and simplicity
Seasonal residents who want true lock-and-leave with a staffed, established building
Downsizers who still want generous living space and an elevated daily experience
Buyers who value “classic Park Shore” over trend-chasing flash
