About Windstar
Windstar on Naples Bay is a gated waterfront and golf community in Naples, located along Naples Bay near the Bayshore Arts District and Naples Botanical Garden. Encompassing approximately 450 acres and 15 distinct residential neighborhoods, Windstar offers a diverse collection of condominiums, villas and single-family homes surrounded by golf, lakes, tropical landscaping and waterfront settings. What most clearly distinguishes Windstar from other Naples golf communities is its direct connection to the water. The community combines an 18-hole Tom Fazio-designed championship golf course with a private deep-water marina offering direct access to Naples Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, along with access to a private beach on Keewaydin Island for club members.
Another important distinction is that Windstar is not a bundled-golf community. Purchasing a residence does not automatically require or include membership in Windstar on Naples Bay, allowing buyers to separate their residential decision from their club membership decision. Those who choose membership can select from available membership categories offering varying levels of golf and social privileges, including dining, fitness, tennis, bocce and access to the private beach and boat shuttle. This structure, combined with the community’s boating opportunities and location just a short drive from downtown Naples, gives Windstar a particularly versatile lifestyle that can appeal to golfers, boaters and buyers who simply value waterfront surroundings and proximity to the heart of Naples.

What You Need to Know About Living in Windstar on Naples Bay
- Windstar Is a Non-Bundled Community: Homeowners are not automatically club members, and purchasing a residence does not guarantee or require golf membership.
- Club Membership Is Separate From Homeownership: Buyers interested in golf, private beach access and other club amenities should investigate current membership categories, availability, initiation requirements, dues and privileges separately from the residential purchase.
- Golf Membership Is Limited: Windstar maintains a cap on full golf membership, so buyers who consider golf essential should verify current membership availability before purchasing.
- There Are 15 Residential Neighborhoods: Property types, association structures, maintenance responsibilities and neighborhood characteristics can differ substantially depending on where a home is located.
- Some Properties Have Multiple Association Obligations: Condominium and neighborhood associations may have their own assessments and responsibilities in addition to broader master association requirements.
- Marina Slips Should Be Evaluated Separately: Buyers purchasing specifically for boating should verify current slip ownership or availability, vessel limitations, fees and marina requirements rather than assuming a slip accompanies residential ownership.
- Homes Vary Considerably: Because Windstar includes multiple property types developed over several decades, buyers should evaluate renovation level, hurricane protection, mechanical systems, roofs and other property-specific improvements.
- Current Costs and Rules Should Be Verified: Association assessments, club membership costs and availability, marina requirements, leasing policies, pet restrictions and other provisions should be confirmed through current documents.

Windstar Amenities
For members, Windstar on Naples Bay offers a private club lifestyle centered around golf, Naples Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The 18-hole Tom Fazio-designed championship course winds through the community and includes a bayside driving range, putting green and other practice facilities. Full golf membership is capped to help maintain access to the course, while organized golf programs, tournaments and leagues provide both competitive and social opportunities. The clubhouse overlooks Naples Bay and provides multiple dining environments along with spaces for social events and gatherings, while fitness facilities, six Har-Tru tennis courts and three bocce courts expand the recreational experience beyond golf.
Windstar’s waterfront amenities are what truly set the community apart. Southpointe Marina is a private 72-slip deep-water marina capable of accommodating vessels up to approximately 70 feet and providing direct access to Naples Bay and the Gulf. This makes boating a genuine component of the Windstar lifestyle rather than simply a waterfront backdrop. Club members also have access to a private beach on Keewaydin Island, reached aboard the club’s boat shuttle, providing an entirely different way to enjoy the Gulf Coast without leaving the Windstar lifestyle. Fishing, boating and other water-oriented activities further reinforce the community’s connection to Naples Bay.
Windstar’s location adds another layer to its appeal. The community sits near the Bayshore Arts District and Naples Botanical Garden, an area known for locally owned restaurants, galleries, waterfront destinations and a more eclectic neighborhood atmosphere. Downtown Naples, Fifth Avenue South, Third Street South and Gulf beaches are only a short drive away, while U.S. 41 provides convenient access throughout Naples. For buyers seeking an established gated Naples community combining optional private golf, a deep-water marina, direct Gulf boating access, a private island beach, diverse housing and convenient access to downtown, Windstar on Naples Bay offers a combination that is difficult to duplicate elsewhere in the Naples market.
