COASTAL LIVING AT ITS BEST-MARINA BAY CLUB IN NAPLES
Posted On 2006-09-25 , 5:11 PM
“Whenever I go to the dock and look at the horizon, I am on the other side. If I see a boat on the ocean, it pulls me like a cord . . . like a belt pulling my sides, and I don’t know where I am, I cannot think of anything else . . .”
- Marcel Pagnol 
True “view homes” in Naples are rare. If you are lucky enough to find a property with one spectacular vista, one angle showing the Gulf (or other waterfront) in a clear and unobstructed manner, you have a special property. What if you bought a high rise home in the sky with two unbelievable and distinctly different waterfront views? Those who live in Marina Bay Club of Naples – particularly on upper floors – have perhaps the most unique and majestic views in all of Naples and  Southwest Florida. The Gulf of Mexico, Wiggins Pass, the Cocohatchee River, pristine bays, Delnor-Wiggins State Park, and Barefoot Beach Preserve are the portraits Mother Nature has painted in the windows of these homes. Nestled off Vanderbilt Drive in a coveted North Naples waterfront location right next to the Pelican Isle Yacht Club, the Marina Bay Club is a gated, island-style high rise community built around a marina. Whether you are an avid boater, sport fisherman, or simply someone who  loves to feel the salt air and watch boats lazily glide by from the comfort of your private lanai, Marina Bay Club is for you – all at price points that are exceptional on a “view for the dollar” basis.
Marina Bay Club, built in 1992, is 11 stories high, and the residences range in size from 1,390 to over 2,700 square feet in living area. From 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom units to those with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, the smartly designed units do not waste space and maximize the major asset of this complex – the unparalleled views. Typical units are in the  1,390 to 1,490 square foot range. The “front” views are of the Cocohatchee River, inland waterways, natural preserves and mangrove forests, with the upscale Cove Towers development and Tarpon Cove Yacht Club and marina in the distance. The views from the lanais to the back of each residence are stunning, with beautiful Wiggins Pass, the Gulf of Mexico, the marina, and the elegant Pelican Isle Yacht Club all in perfect, unobstructed view. Parking is under the building. The association fees are relatively low for a waterfront address. Prices in  Marina Bay Club currently range from approximately $520,000 to just under $800,000. The Penthouse level, and floors 8 - 10, are rarely offered for sale on the MLS, and would likely be marketed for significantly higher sums if listed.
This development embodies coastal living at its best. Boat slips are available for lease or purchase. The slips can accommodate relatively  large vessels at the deep water marina on site. Direct, unobstructed access to the wide open Gulf of Mexico is furnished through Wiggins Pass. Sport fisherman will appreciate the access to the Gulf – with no bridge along the way, as well as the private fishing pier on the marina for some leisurely recreation. The amenities create an “island-like” setting, and include a large sundeck with heated pool and spa (which looks out over the Pass to the  Gulf), fitness room, library, tennis courts, barbeque grill areas, and community room.
The living is easy and the days are carefree at Marina Bay Club. Spend warm winter days out on your boat, or watching the entrancing views of the water from your lanai. Call or email us immediately for more information on Marina Bay Club, or other exciting properties on the waterfront in Naples.
