Sanibel Seashells - A Collector's Dream Come True in Florida's Prestigious Real Estate Beach Life Capital

Luxury Living on Sanibel and the Spoils of Seashell Collecting

When you think of beaches, you might dream of gorgeous sea shells that litter the white sandy shores around the globe. Though there are many coastlines in Florida alone that display a beautiful array of sea shells, no other beach can compare to the beaches of Sanibel. Sanibel Beach in Naples, Florida is one of the most acclaimed beaches in all of South Florida. This array of beach finery, stunning white sand, and clear cyan waters make for a perfect summer get-away. Sanibel is everything a beach lover could ever dream of, it is truly everything and more. From taking a stroll during sunset to collecting sea shells with your family, Sanibel is the perfect place. Many tourists and local Floridians alike find Sanibel to be the island of their choice.

The beaches of Sanibel and Captiva make up a barrier island off the coast of Florida. Sanibel is technically a separate island, however it is still easily accessible from the city of Naples and the surrounding cities as well. They are only a short drive away from each other. One of the most popular activities associated with Sanibel Beach is sea shell gathering, also known as shelling. Shelling on Sanibel could be described as incredibly fun, and even addicting. Sanibel Island and Captiva Island have even been deemed as “The Shell Islands”. Shelling is so popular that many artists even make wonderful art pieces only using the shells that they have collected from the shores of Sanibel. This pastime is not only entertaining, it can also be the foundation for memories that will last forever. 

What truly separates Sanibel shelling from the many beaches across the world is the way the coast of Sanibel island receives its large shell assortment. Because of the sweeping currents of the Gulf of Mexico, and wide sloping geography, Sanibel is the perfect place for a wealth of sea shells to be deposited onto the shores. The shell variety ranges from anything to Conch Shells, or even the rare Junonia Shells. As you can imagine, many people would love to settle down and spend their lives living on the islands of Sanibel and Captiva. The real estate on Sanibel is just as lush and opulent as the beaches that surround these homes. Luxury beachfront condos and villas are also great options to consider.

There is a diverse range of single family home styles and accommodations for your every need. From luxurious condominiums, to breath-taking mansions, Sanibel can promise you the highest quality of living that it has available. When owning a property on Sanibel, you’ll be able to walk from the beach right onto your exquisite beach-front patio. With a tropical cocktail, your sandals squishing on fine sand, and the sunset illuminating the ocean with golden colors, you will feel as if you were walking a tropical dream. To the breezy warm weather, and the relaxed, luxury palm tree life, Sanibel is practically a tropical resort of the finest collection of portfolio realty in the world. Sanibel simply put is one of the most exceptional real estate opportunities ever.

Pelican Bay's Tranquil Sensations

 

Pelican Bay, Naples - Community Spotlight

 

Coral Ridge Properties bought 2,330 acres from Barron Collier in 1972, intending to develop the shoreline while maintaining the densely wooded region. Pelican Bay, formerly known as Clam Bay, is an example of environmental design, having conserved mangroves while allowing greater density structures to be erected on the fringes of Naples' shores. The end effect is a seamless blend of Florida's natural beauty with the luxury of Naples. Pelican Bay is a master-planned coastal area comprised of gated and non-gated communities linked by lush flora and fauna, ponds, and native Florida trees that always delight pedestrians, joggers, and cyclists.

 

Beachfront restaurants are rare in Naples due to commercial development limitations, but homeowners of Pelican Bay enjoy exclusive access to three of their own. At the Sandbar Restaurant, Sunset Cafe and Marker 36, inhabitants can enjoy a wonderful meal, listening to waves wash near the shore with all types of birdlife and snowbirds playing in the sand. At the Ritz Carlton in Naples on the Beach there is Gumbo Limbo. Residents of Pelican Bay will tell you that the atmosphere in their neighborhood is both bustling and peaceful. While there are several opportunities to challenge your body and mind at world-class sporting facilities, there are also innumerable choices to simply relax on the beach and do nothing. Many homeowners choose to stay on the property since Pelican Bay is its self- contained universe with a tram system on par with Disney's. However, Waterside Shops, a magnificent, premium open-air shopping experience, is only a few miles away, and Artis Naples (previously the Philharmonic) offers nationally famous performances and concerts. Pelican Bay is indeed a beautiful combination of culture and natural beauty. The real estate is on a completely whole new level. We will delve into that next.

 

Pelican Bay real estate consists mostly of apartment complexes/high-rise apartments and single-family houses ranging in size from medium (three or four bedrooms) to small (studio to two bedrooms). The owners inhabit the majority of the residential real estate. In Pelican Bay 23 Listings are active at the time of this blog in March 2022. With vacant condos or residences being a common occurrence. This may happen in vacation regions and communities heavily populated by college students, where some apartments may be idle while school is not in session. However, in season during the winter months Naples completely comes to life. If you reside here all year, you may notice that many of the buildings in your area are quite and vacant in the summertime.

 

High-rise and low-rise condos and townhomes with spectacular views of the Gulf of Mexico and wooded state parks are the most typical Pelican Bay properties. Single-family homes, villas, and coach homes are also popular. Most luxury houses are enclosed inside gated or non-gated neighborhoods, and each subdivision has its own architectural identity. Bay Colony is the most prestigious gated locality, with its own private facilities, and coastal high-rises. The Strand, a gated community inside a gated community with twelve spectacular beachfront houses is a must see. The Ritz-Carlton Beach Resort and Naples Grande are two premium resort options inside this exclusive golf and beach enclave. Residents of Pelican Bay also have access to world-class tennis courts, a 27-hole Arthur Hills-designed golf course, and nearly two miles of sugary white sand beaches. How refreshing is that, knowing you might just be pursuing one of the great real estate locations in all of Florida. The first time our team here at Naples Agent saw it we new we would never leave.

There is Only One Naples Pier...

 

 

It's Opulent Presence is Enough to Leave the Faintest of Heart Mesmerized

 

Naples Pier is a favorite location treasured in the hearts of many. It has been a wonderful attraction for visitors as well as a cherished place for local residents. Naples Pier is located on the Gulf of Mexico at the western end of 12th Avenue South. I would especially recommend visiting the pier at sundown. It is the perfect spot to watch a gorgeous Florida sunset. When touring the pier you will notice a number of fisherman reeling in the daily catch. Down at the beach you can enjoy a lovely swim in the refreshing waters below Naples Pier. The pier facilities offer many amenities such as beach supplies, a concession stand, restrooms, and showers. Possibly one of the best features about the pier is at approximately the time of sunset, a pod of dolphins, or perhaps several pods, swim under the pier, feeding on the fish that spend their time there. It truly is magnificent to watch dolphins frolic through the sunset. Additionally, Naples Pier is only a short walk from 5th Avenue. 5th Avenue will entertain you with its elegant dining, and afterwards you can walk to  Naples Pier for a magical view of the Gulf of Mexico sunset.

 

Naples Pier was built by the Naples Company in 1889. It recently underwent a major renovation. In 2015, the pier was replaced with Brazilian ipe, a hardy wood that can last for centuries. This new improvement will ensure that Naples Pier will be around for many more years to come, providing joy and making memories. The pier has been a brilliant part of several lives for many. All Southwest florida homeowners and luxury dwellers will attest to this if asked. The Naples Pier beach is equally as charming, with gorgeous white sand and a clear aquamarine ocean presence. You can experience luxury and fun all at the same time, just like many others who have visited and continue to visit. Third Street South comforts strolling patrons and those seeking potentially moving to Naples and it's surrounding areas.

 

Naples Pier is a rich and historical part of Old Naples, this means that it is surrounded by communities as precious as the pier. For instance, Port Royal, Aqualane Shores, and Coquina Sands are only a few examples. Port Royal is one of the finest neighborhoods in Naples and in the entire United States for that matter. It is a gem to top all gems, offering opulence and luxury at it’s finest. Aqualane Shores is quite literally a dream come true. Up-front water views along with grand living. This collection of unique and elaborate homes is genuinely an art form of a wonderful place to spend your time. Coquina Sands is amongst the top neighborhoods in all of Olde Naples. It is truly the definition of tropical living where luxury and quality collide. By taking residence in Coquina Sands, you will feel as if you were living at a luxurious resort get-away with the thought of never wanting to be anywhere else ever again.

CMON Golisano Children's Museum of Naples - Delivers Interactive Learning Through Charitable Non-Profit Organization Efforts and Exceptional Hard Work

 

 

The Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples (CMON) is truly an extraordinary experience and adventure for both children and their families. It offers interactive learning experiences for both kids and their parents. It provides a brilliant adventure of education and astonishment. When you visit Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples you will have a colorful time full of wonder and splendor. Your children will have an outstanding time and so will you. CMON is located in southwest Naples, near North Collier Regional Park, next to Highway 75.

It resembles a starking contrast of the fondest learning experiences available in Southwest Florida. In the hearts of many for a decade, CMON simply offers an unforgettable experience wreathed in exceptional service. 

 

Allyson Loos is the founder of Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples. Allyson has always had a love for kids, this additionally led her to study child psychology in college. She and her husband were thrilled to become parents to their children Bianca and Ben. Tragically, 13-month-old Bianca passed away in 1999, due to bacterial meningitis. Afterwards, the Loos family then decided to relocate to Naples, Florida. They soon began to set up a fund to help others in commemoration of their daughter. When the Loos were deciding what to focus the funds on, Ally had a vivid dream of Bianca in a bright, magnificent place for children and families to enjoy together. She realized that Bianca would have wanted a children’s museum in Naples. With some help from new friends, they began fundraising for what would later become Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples. The children’s museum was founded in 2002 and officially opened to the public in 2012. It became a must-visit museum in Naples, and still is to this day. 

 

As Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples is in the heart of Naples, many neighborhoods are located near the establishment. Two superb gate guarded single family home enclaves, include Wilshire Lakes and Tiburon Golf Club. These luxury developments offer opulence and lavishness to the core. Wilshire Lakes is a lavish community with many amenities. Wilshire is also right next to North Collier Regional Park. It is less than ten minutes from Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples. Also, Tiburon Golf Club is an award-winning golf course neighborhood. Tiburon is home to Ritz Carlton Hotel and Resorts brand. It is the definition of sophisticated-living. Tiburon Golf Club is approximately five minutes from Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples. Naples is not just for retirees and those looking to golf. Naples is home to amazing family communities and activities for all ages. One of the most private real estate resourced places in the country. Naples luxury living will rival any other top tier community in the world.
