Naples and Marco Island both sit in Collier County and share Florida's clean no-state-tax position. The cost-seg picture differs because Naples is condo-heavy with golf-resort and walkable-downtown sub-markets, while Marco Island skews toward beachfront SFR and high-rise gulf-front condo product.
Across 5 engine fixtures for the Naples area, the differences between Marco Island and the rest of Naples come down to three factors: land allocation, property archetype mix, and HOA capital-assessment patterns. See the per-fixture detail below.

It depends on what "better" means.
If you measure ROI as Year-1 federal savings dollars: Marco Island wins on absolute dollars (higher purchase prices = larger absolute deductions). If you measure ROI as savings-per-dollar-of-purchase: the broader Naples non-resort sub-markets typically win (lower land allocation = more depreciable basis as % of price).
For most buyers, the more useful question is: which sub-market matches my buy-box? If you're already buying $2M+ resort-tier product, the cost-seg differential is a rounding error against your decision drivers. If you're price-shopping across sub-markets and considering both, the broader Naples non-resort areas produce more reclassification per dollar.
