Thirty-seven residences across two buildings — one on the sand, one on the bay, with docks between them.
Le Dauphin is the rare Vanderbilt Beach address that gives you both sides of Gulf Shore Drive. The beachfront building at 9811 holds twenty residences directly on the sand; the bayfront building at 9790 holds seventeen over the water, with the pool, tennis and boat docks. Two leases a year and no pets keep both buildings quiet, and La Playa Beach & Golf Resort is immediately adjacent.

The choice at Le Dauphin is beach or bay, and it changes everything about the purchase — price, light, morning versus evening views, and whether a dock is part of the picture. Tell us which side you lean toward and whether you boat, and we will assemble a private selection across both buildings, including residences being quietly prepared for market. Complimentary and without obligation. Call (239) 438-1102.
Residences at Le Dauphin
The beachfront building at 9811 is organized in three stacks: the 01 and 03 corners run roughly 2,991 square feet with three bedrooms and three ensuite baths, and the 02 residences sit between them at about 2,174 square feet. Every home faces the Gulf through a wall of glass, with nine-foot ceilings, double-door entries and oversized kitchens, several with twin islands. Across the street at 9790, residences run roughly 2,245 to 2,943 square feet with three bedrooms and multiple terraces, taking sunrise views over Vanderbilt Bay and Gulf views to the west — several owners consider the bay side the better light. Penthouse residences in both buildings are larger and rarely trade. Floor plans are available on request.
Boating, the Beach Club and Location
Docks sit on the bay behind 9790 and are available for lease or purchase as they come open, which makes Le Dauphin one of the few beachfront addresses in Naples where the boat is steps from the residence. The bayfront pool, tennis courts and summer kitchen are on the same side, and beach chairs and umbrellas are set out directly in front of 9811. The adjacent beach club adds dining, bar, spa and cabana service for residences that carry the privilege — worth confirming for the specific unit, since terms vary. La Playa Beach & Golf Resort is next door, the Ritz-Carlton and the Turtle Club are a short distance south, and Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park and Mercato are both minutes away.
