Aqualane Shores is one of Naples’ most prestigious and historically significant waterfront communities, offering a rare blend of old Florida charm and modern coastal luxury. Development of Aqualane Shores began in the 1950s, and the neighborhood has continued to evolve over the decades with a mix of beautifully maintained original homes and newer custom estates built through the present day. The community includes approximately 350 custom single-family homes, most situated on deep-water canals or the open bay with direct Gulf of Mexico access. Known for its elegant tree-lined streets, oversized lots, and waterfront lifestyle, Aqualane Shores offers a quiet, non-gated setting just a short walk from the shops and restaurants of Third Street South and the white sands of Naples Beach.
