About 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.

Why People Like The Dunes Community

  • Coastal North Naples Location: The Dunes is positioned close to Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park, Vanderbilt Beach and the Gulf of Mexico.
  • High-Rise and Coach Home Options: Buyers can choose between luxury tower residences and the lower-density Sea Grove coach homes.
  • Expansive Views: Depending on building, floor and orientation, high-rise residences can offer views of the Gulf of Mexico, Turkey Bay, Wiggins Pass, preserves and the surrounding Naples area.
  • The Club at The Dunes: A 25,000-square-foot amenity center provides dining, resort-style swimming, fitness, wellness, racquet sports and social spaces.
  • Multiple Dining Options: Residents can enjoy indoor, outdoor and poolside dining without leaving the community, including the Royal Palm Room, Terrace, SandBar and Tiki Bar.
  • Strong Fitness and Wellness Program: The Wellness Center offers fitness equipment, group exercise, personal training, massage and other wellness services.
  • Active Racquet Community: Tennis is a significant part of The Dunes recreational lifestyle, with professionally supported programs, clinics and organized play.
  • Potential Floridian Club Opportunity: Select properties may provide an opportunity for membership in the private Floridian Club on Vanderbilt Beach, subject to the applicable membership rights and club requirements.

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.

The Dunes Amenities

The centerpiece of the community is The Club at The Dunes, a 25,000-square-foot clubhouse and amenity center created through a major renovation and expansion completed in 2019. The Club includes the Royal Palm Room restaurant, SandBar indoor/outdoor bar, Tiki Bar, flexible event and gathering spaces, resort-style pool area with lounge spaces and fire pit tables, and an expanded fitness and wellness center. The Wellness Center offers cardio and strength equipment, group exercise programming, personal training and dedicated therapy spaces for services such as massage, while additional recreational spaces provide opportunities for games and informal gatherings.

Racquet sports are another significant part of life at The Dunes, with a professionally supported tennis program offering organized leagues, clinics and recreational play. Individual residential buildings can also provide their own amenities in addition to those available through The Club. Depending on the tower, these may include private swimming pools and spas, fitness rooms, social rooms, outdoor grilling areas and sun decks, while Grande Preserve residents also have access to the dedicated Concierge Center. Sea Grove offers a different residential experience, with its coach homes positioned around a community lake and within easy reach of the central fitness, tennis and resort-pool facilities.

The Dunes’ location completes the lifestyle by placing residents near some of North Naples’ most desirable coastal destinations. Sea Grove provides access from the community toward Connors Park and a pathway leading to Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park and the beach, while Vanderbilt Beach is also nearby. Mercato, Waterside Shops, Artis-Naples, restaurants, shopping and everyday services are readily accessible throughout North Naples. For buyers seeking a gated luxury community with high-rise and coach home options, expansive water and preserve views, a comprehensive resort-style club and exceptional proximity to the Gulf, The Dunes offers a distinctive combination of coastal location and amenity-rich condominium living.
