Royal Harbor and its related neighborhoods of Oyster Bay and Golden Shores are perched on top of Naples Bay looking west toward Aqualane Shores and Old Naples with beautiful views of the bay opening to the south. This area is the last place available to enjoy Naples Bay water along your property and live west of US 41 for under $1,000,000. New construction is going for well over $2,000,000.
The attraction of this neighborhood is several fold. First you have unrestricted access to Naples Bay and the Gulf of Mexico from your own back yard. Walk out the back door, climb in your boat and head out to sea. No bridges and only one “no wake” zone (about 100 yards long) before you enter the Gulf of Mexico. Boat into town if you would like and head for the city dock. Walk in to Bleu Provence or maybe boat over to the Dock Restaurant or the Boat House. For quieter waters head down to the back country on the inside route for tubing, cruising or maybe a beach walk on Keewaydin Island (please see our video on this island at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dW-ox2t4JM).
In addition to the boating life you have a short walk to the Naples Bay Resort (http://www.naplesbayresort.com/deals/land-excursions-packages?gclid=CKKl1cbhlL4CFRIV7AodL2sADA). Some people come to Naples for vacation and stay at the resort. You can “vacation” every day by walking over there and enjoy resort living. Head for the spa, water adventures, land excursions and family outings – all are waiting for you there. If you are on the north end of the peninsula especially in Golden Shores the resort is an easy walk. Sign up and become a member if you wish.
If you are fortunate enough to have a southern or west exposure property be sure to head home later in the afternoon and enjoy some warm time at your pool and in your backyard. The sunsets and late afternoons here are just what the doctor ordered in the dead of winter. I like the idea of sitting on the dock in a comfortable chair and enjoying a beverage responsibly.
After sunset cook a meal on your grill or maybe head out on the town. Some people walk to Old Naples from here especially if you live in Golden Shores (closest to the sidewalk to town). Those in Royal Harbor might jump in the car. Once you are on Fifth Avenue South enjoy the restaurants and night life and then just walk home.
How is the market fairing in Royal Harbor? Very well thank you. With only twenty-eight single family homes for sale and a sales pace supporting a five months+ inventory we expect prices to rise. If you walk through these Royal Harbor, Oyster Bay and Golden Shores neighborhoods you will see new construction underway with builders viewing these neighborhoods as prime locations for 2014-2015 home sales. Renting is also an option but book early. Some renters book a year in advance here.
Royal Harbor on Naples Bay. What a great place to live. So many ways to enjoy the area and live life beautifully.
