PORT ROYAL, NAPLES, FLORIDA
Port Royal, a prestigious landmark of Naples, is considered one of the finest neighborhoods in the world. The very private single-family community is comprised of approximately 550 homes.
Perfectly situated at the southern end of Naples between the Gulf and Naples Bay, most of the area was created by digging meandering wide channels and using the dredged fill to create the land. Although development work actually began in the very late 1940s, most of the original construction took place in the late 1950s and 1960s, as it became a popular community for wealthy winter residents. Some of these early structures, which were often only 2,000 or 3,000 square feet, still remain. However, as land values in Port Royal have continued to escalate, the majority of the older homes have been razed to make way for new, grandiose residences that typically have living areas ranging from 4,000 to 7,000 square feet, with some over 10,000.
The streets and harbors of Port Royal are appropriately given names reminiscent of the pirates who formerly used Southwest Florida as a haven between scavenging expeditions; Spyglass Lane, Rum Row, and Man of War Cove are indicative of the colorful titles. Although there are a few non-waterfront sites, most residents enjoy dramatic bay front or wide waterway views from the rear of their home. The many docks on the deep waterways contain a variety of boats and yachts, ranging from 20 to over 100 feet in length.
One of the focal points for the area is the beautiful Port Royal Club, located on a serene stretch of Gulf-front beach directly across from the Kingstown Drive entrance to the community. Membership in the club is primarily limited to Port Royal property owners and it features 9 tennis courts, complete formal and informal dining facilities, and an Olympic pool. Prices of homes in Port Royal typically range in the millions. However, larger residences or one of the rarer beach front parcels may have considerably higher values. The highest actual price recorded to date was a $30 million sale. One may join the exclusive and popular Port Royal Club. Established in 1959, the Port Royal Club continues its tradition of bringing neighbors, friends and families together creating memories and a strong sense of community.
Port Royal began as a vision of John Glen Sample as early as 1938. Mr. Sample, a pioneer in radio advertising, acquired two square miles of marshland and eventually developed six hundred single family building lots with deep water access to the Gulf of Mexico and the Ten Thousand Islands.
Through its commitment to excellence, its exceptional facilities and uncompromising service, the Port Royal Club consistently creates a gracious atmosphere that enhances the neighborhood.
Whether enjoying a relaxed sunset dinner, participating in a special event or building a sand castle on the beach, members as well as their family and friends enjoy the finest in quality and service. “The Club is a gracious extension of your Port Royal home.”
