A Naples Realty Blog

Naples Bay is absolutely beautiful this time of year. Yesterday the weather was in the 80's. This picture of the Bayfront community was taken in the late afternoon. After sunset, the weather is much cooler on the water. We arrived home well before sunset. If you would consider living in a condo where shops and restaurants are just downstairs and downtown Naples is just a stroll away, consider living at Bayfront. For all the current listings here in Bayfront, click here, www.MyNaplesRealty.com/Bayfront. If you are a boater, you enjoy access to the Gulf of Mexico thru the Gordon Pass. If you dock at Bayfront, you'll have the bridge at Fifth Ave. S and Tamiami Trail. Otherwise the Naples Bay boat trip from the bridge is a 20-30 minute boat ride to the Gulf of Mexico thru Gordon Pass. Port Royal and Aqualane Shores community is to the west and Royal Harbor community is to the east at you travel the Naples Bay.

Pelican Bay has two and a half miles of beach along the Gulf of Mexico. This photo shows the south private beach tram station number three. In Pelican Bays gated community, Bay Colony's, The Strand there are a few single family homes and highrise condos; Contessa, Carlysle, Brighton, Biltmore, Remington and The Windsor that are located directly on the beach. Most of Pelican Bay must access the beach via the Beach Trams. Members only. The public has an equally beautiful beach with concessions, chair and umbrella rentals, facilities and parking at Clam Pass at Seagate Drive. To find the public beach take Pine Ridge Road West, cross US 41 and continue straight on Seagate Drive to the entrance to Clam Pass Beach Park. You will see the Naples Grande Resort Hotel to the left. Park, bring your own chair and cooler if you want and wait for the free tram ride or take the 3/4 mile boardwalk. The beach is family friendly and open to the public. No glass bottles please.

The Naples Municipal Airport should expect record breaking flight arrivals and departures on January 24-27, 2008. Private aircraft from all over the world will be arriving on these days for the Naples Winter Wine Festival.

A "Wine-Down" Party will be held downtown Naples after the auction. Sunday brunch again will be at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort. Please don't be confused, we have two.

Sweetbay Supermarket will be opening soon and offers yet another choice for where to shop for groceries around the city of Naples. Magnolia Square is located on the the northeast corner of Pine Ridge Road and Goodlette Frank Road, that's 4.5 miles or 9 minutes to Fifth Ave S. in downtown Naples. For years I have shopped at the Neapolitan Publix in Park Shore. Publix Supermarket is also in the Naples Shopping Plaza in The Moorings. Wynn's is locally owned and located on 9th St. N (US 41) just south of Central Ave. in Olde Naples. The Fresh Market in Park Shore between Neapolitan Way and Park Shore Drive on US 41 offers another fine food shopping experience. Sorry Bernie, No Dogs allowed! He gets to GO to the Pet Supermarket.
