the dunes

The Dunes is a gated luxury residential community in North Naples, located near Vanderbilt Drive and just south of Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park. The community combines seven high-rise condominium towers with 40 coach homes in Sea Grove, creating two distinctly different residential experiences within the same resort-style setting. The high-rises are divided between the Island Communities and Grande Preserve and offer elevated views that can include the Gulf of Mexico, Turkey Bay, Wiggins Pass and surrounding preserve areas, depending on the building and residence. Sea Grove provides an alternative for buyers who prefer a lower-density, home-like setting, with coach homes arranged in 10 buildings around a community lake.

A major part of The Dunes lifestyle is The Club at The Dunes, a 25,000-square-foot amenity center offering resort-style swimming, multiple dining venues, fitness and wellness facilities, tennis and other recreational and social opportunities. The community's coastal location is equally important, with convenient access to Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park and Vanderbilt Beach while still being close to Mercato, Waterside Shops, Artis-Naples and the shopping, dining and services of North Naples. Certain residences may also provide an opportunity for membership in the separately owned Floridian Club, an invitation-only private beach club on Vanderbilt Beach, making it important for buyers to understand exactly what club rights, if any, are associated with the particular property they are considering.

What You Need to Know About Living in The Dunes

• The Dunes Is Gated: The community has controlled access and is governed through a property owners association along with individual condominium associations.

• There Are Seven High-Rise Communities: Antigua, Barbados and Cayman make up the Island Communities, while Grande Dominica, Grande Excelsior, Grande Phoenician and Grande Geneva comprise Grande Preserve.

• Sea Grove Is Different From the Towers: Sea Grove consists of 40 coach homes in 10 buildings, with private entries, two-car garages and a lower-density residential setting.

• Individual Buildings Have Their Own Associations: Fees, reserves, insurance, maintenance responsibilities, assessments and building-specific amenities can differ significantly, making it important to evaluate the specific condominium association rather than The Dunes only as a whole.

• Grande Preserve Offers Additional Services: The Grande Preserve towers have access to a private Concierge Center with concierge services, conference and business facilities and gathering spaces.

• Floridian Club Access Is Not Universal: The Floridian Club is separately owned and invitation-only. Buyers should verify whether membership rights or opportunities are associated with the specific residence and understand current membership requirements directly through the club.

• Building Condition and Capital Projects Matter: Buyers should carefully review condominium financials, reserves, insurance, structural and engineering information, completed and planned capital projects and any current or anticipated assessments for the specific building.

• Current Costs and Rules Should Be Verified: Association assessments, resale capital contributions, insurance responsibilities, leasing restrictions, pet policies and other requirements should be confirmed through current documents before purchasing.
