About Calusa Bay

Calusa Bay is a gated condominium community of 342 residences in North Naples, conveniently located near the intersection of Goodlette-Frank Road and Orange Blossom Drive. The community is divided between Calusa Bay North and Calusa Bay South and features low-rise condominium and coach-home-style residences surrounded by lakes, fountains, mature tropical landscaping and walking paths. Its central North Naples location places residents close to Waterside Shops, Artis-Naples, Mercato, Vanderbilt Beach and a wide variety of shopping, dining and everyday conveniences.

Residences offer a variety of one-, two- and three-bedroom configurations, with many including dens, screened lanais and lake or landscaped views. Depending on the building and floor plan, homes may offer carport or garage parking and first- or second-floor living. Because Calusa Bay is an established condominium community, buyers will find meaningful differences in renovation level, hurricane protection, interior finishes and mechanical updates from one residence to another.

Calusa Bay offers an appealing balance between residential tranquility and an active community lifestyle. Two swimming areas, fitness facilities, tennis, a clubhouse, fishing pier and a two-mile walking path provide recreation within the gates, while an active social calendar offers opportunities for residents who want to participate in community events. For buyers seeking lower-maintenance condominium living with substantial amenities in a convenient North Naples location, Calusa Bay offers a well-rounded option.

Why People Like the Calusa Bay Community

  • Central North Naples Location: Waterside Shops, Artis-Naples, Mercato, Vanderbilt Beach, restaurants and everyday conveniences are all readily accessible.
  • Lake-Oriented Setting: Lakes, fountains, mature landscaping and tropical vegetation create attractive surroundings throughout the community.
  • Two Swimming Areas: Residents can choose between the larger screened main pool complex and a quieter open-air cabana pool.
  • Two-Mile Walking Path: A paved path winds through the community, providing a convenient setting for walking and enjoying the landscaping and wildlife.
  • Active Recreation: Tennis, swimming, fitness and fishing provide several ways to stay active without leaving the neighborhood.

What You Need to Know About Living in Calusa Bay

  • There Are Two Condominium Associations: Calusa Bay consists of Calusa Bay North and Calusa Bay South. Buyers should understand which association governs the residence they are considering and review its specific financials, reserves, insurance and governing documents.
  • Residence Styles Vary: Floor plan, square footage, garage or carport arrangement, floor level and outdoor living space can differ considerably throughout the community.
  • Condominium Financials Matter: Buyers should carefully review current association budgets, reserves, insurance coverage, assessments and maintenance responsibilities for the specific condominium association.
  • Homes Have Evolved Over Time: Individual residences range from more original interiors to extensively renovated properties. Windows and doors, hurricane protection, mechanical systems and interior improvements should be evaluated individually.
  • Views and Locations Differ: Lakefront, fountain and landscaped settings create different outlooks and levels of privacy depending on the residence.
  • Association Rules Should Be Verified: Leasing, pets, parking and other property-use provisions are governed by the applicable condominium documents and should be reviewed as part of the purchase process.
