Welcome to Nevis in Tarpon Cove, a sought-after gated luxury coastal resort community in North Naples. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious penthouse residence with commanding views. It has never before been offered on the resale market. 

This residence lives like a carefree home in the sky. You'll enjoy gorgeous views every direction—the Gulf, Wiggins Bay, the Kinsale Golf Club, and beyond. This penthouse residence is privately accessed through a secured elevator, opening to a spacious living area with inviting views and great natural light. 

Enjoy peaceful sunrises and shimmering sunsets from many different vantage points. This penthouse is one of only two in the Nevis tower, occupying fully one-half of the 18th floor. The primary bedroom offers an expansive lanai and an equally large TV viewing/den/study area—a wonderfully comfortable & expansive retreat. 

One ensuite guest bedroom provides an inviting space for visitors; another guest bedroom offers an equally appealing getaway with dramatic views from a private lanai & an ensuite private bath. A spacious study could also serve as flex or additional sleeping space. With a total of four terraces or lanais, this residence embodies the true Naples lifestyle, serenely inviting the outdoors in. 

Nevis residents enjoy a beautiful resort pool with a lap lane for fitness. Adjacent, the Calypso Club is a popular destination in this tropical paradise, offering another great spot for gathering and relaxation. The well-equipped workout room is poolside and near the attractive community/social room, complete with wet bar and kitchen. 

The recently updated Calypso Club includes a pavilion with a fireplace, gas grills, and two guest suites available by reservation for residents' overflow visitors. With this penthouse residence, a transfer membership to the Tarpon Cove Club is available, offering a popular and fun boat shuttle to the Delnor-Wiggins Pass beach. 

Tarpon Cove Club members also love the clubhouse with private dining, many social events, tennis, an outdoor tiki bar, fire feature, bocce ball, and their own separate pool. Nearby marina boat slips may be available for lease or purchase. 

Off-season golf reciprocity is also possible. Discover a real gem in North Naples to enjoy this season, with nearby new construction towers at approximately double the price, making this an attractive investment opportunity as well.

Bonita Springs-Estero Real Estate Market Shows Resilience Despite Price Adjustments in June 2025

AREA SPECIALISTSDOWNING-FRYE REALTY, INC.

 

The Bonita Springs-Estero Real Estate Market Report for June demonstrated continued activity in June 2025, with single-family home sales increasing 19.5% year-over-year to 178 transactions. This uptick reflects sustained buyer interest despite ongoing price adjustments in the market.

Single-Family Home Market Dynamics

The median sale price for single-family homes reached $541,610 in June, representing a 10.5% decrease from last year. This price adjustment signals a healthy market correction that’s improving affordability for qualified buyers. Cash transactions remained robust at 39.3% of all sales, indicating strong investor activity while traditional homebuyers with financing are becoming more active.

Market Timing and Inventory Trends

Properties are taking longer to sell, with median time to sale increasing to 125 days compared to 97 days last year. However, active inventory levels rose 30.6% to 893 properties, providing buyers with more options and negotiating power. The months supply of inventory increased to 6.9 months, moving closer to balanced market conditions that benefit both buyers and sellers.

Condominium and Townhouse Segment

The condominium and townhouse market showed more pronounced adjustments, with closed sales declining 15.9% to 69 transactions. The median sale price dropped significantly to $325,000, down 22.2% from the previous year. This segment appears to be undergoing a more substantial correction, potentially creating opportunities for first-time buyers and those seeking more affordable options in the market.

Looking Forward

The current conditions reflect a natural rebalancing after years of rapid appreciation. The 19.5% increase in single-family home sales volume demonstrates that demand remains healthy when properties are appropriately priced. The market is transitioning to a more balanced environment that serves both buyers and sellers effectively.

For those considering buying or selling in the Bonita Springs-Estero area, now is an excellent time to work with experienced agents who understand these evolving market conditions.

Making A Difference in the Lives of Foster Children - Karen Coney Coplin, Real Estate Broker (Downing-Frye Realty, Inc.)

 

Making A Difference in the Lives of Foster Children

Karen Coney Coplin

We are thrilled to feature Ann Hughes, CEO of Fostering Success, as our special guest columnist in this issue. Ann was recently recognized by the Governor and First Lady at the 2025 Florida Heroes Reception for her exceptional kindness, selflessness, and vision in positively impacting the lives of others. Read on about her leadership:

Foster children are among the most vulnerable members of the community. They have been removed from their homes due to abuse,neglect, addiction issues, or, in some cases, human trafficking. The trauma and instability they experience at a young age can present significant challenges as they navigate life.

May is National Foster Care Awareness Month, a time to highlight the more than 230 children in foster care in Collier County. While the circumstances that bring children into the system are often heartbreaking, this month also serves to celebrate their resilience and recognize the dedication of mentors, families, child welfare professionals, and community members who support them.

Fostering Success is committed to restoring a sense of normalcy to the lives of foster children. The organization provides vital support, ensuring each child has the resources needed to thrive.

With the right support, foster children can achieve incredible things. The community plays a crucial role in rallying behind them, their foster families, and the mentors who provide essential guidance.

For 26 years, Fostering Success has been a leading force in supporting foster children in Collier County. The organization’s mission is to meet the needs of these children, helping them reach their full potential. As a privately funded organization, it relies on community support to continue its work.

“We provide not only a beacon of hope for these children, but a pathway to success,” said Ann Hughes, CEO of Fostering Success.

The non-profit organization seeks to help the children by empowering them through education and enrichment. Theireducation programs include:

  • Ready for Kindergarten connects the youngest foster children with quality early learning centers.
  • Academic Mentoring is for children from kindergarten through high school. The Academic Mentor Program provides free tutoring.

The outcomes have been staggering. While the national high school graduation rate for foster children is only 50 percent, an impressive 100 percent of the high school seniors in their tutoring program graduated last year.

Scholarships are awarded annually to high school seniors, allowing them to attend college or technical school.

Thriving After Care supports young adults who are transitioning out of foster care with much needed life skills. The classes include cooking, financial literacy, resume building, job applications, housing assistance, and continued education.

Beyond academics, Fostering Success funds enrichment programs such as supplies and activities.

Basic Necessities deliver essentials such as diapers, cribs, beds, clothing, school supplies, and uniforms to foster families.

Heartstrings Arts & Music programs support music and dance lessons, band, art classes, theater, and other forms of creative arts through a variety of activities to ignite their creativity and bring joy into their lives.

Sports gives the children the opportunity to play on a team or individually, exercise, make new friends, and develop new skills. Foster children can engage in sports they have never been able to play such as soccer, basketball, baseball, gymnastics, football, volleyball, horseback riding and other fun activities.

As we get ready to enter the summer months Fostering Success continues to offer services.

Upcoming Initiatives

June – Summer Camps: Foster children can participate in action packed, eight-week summer camps where they explore individual skills, stay active, and make friends. Specialized camps offer experiences in STEAM robotics, tennis, water skiing, sailing, and more in a safe and supportive environment.

July – Back-to-School Drive: The annual Back-to-School Drive-Thru event ensures that foster children receive essential supplies, clothing, and resources to start the school year with confidence. Frequent school transitions can set foster children back academically, but by equipping them with the tools they need, the program helps bridge the educational gap and provide stability.

Continuing Support: Throughout the year, there are many ways to help foster children, whether by donating toys, school supplies, and gift cards, volunteering as a tutor, assisting at an event, or exploring foster parenting.
