Barefoot Beach ranks as one of the most exclusive and desirable waterfront communities in Naples Florida. Located at the south end of Bonita Springs' Little Hickory Island, this gated beachfront community offers single-family gulf-front estates, bayside homes with boat docks and water access, townhomes, villas and luxury condominiums. Many of the neighborhoods have their own security gate in addition to the main gate. Most of the properties are just steps away from the beach, or are on navigable waterways with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico by boat. The paved roads, lined by lush tropical landscaping, wind through the community. Barefoot Beach is truly an incredible community!
Barefoot Beach itself is a 1.5 mile long strip situated between Bonita Beach to the north and Wiggins Pass to the south, and is technically the northernmost beach in Naples. Situated within a 342-acre nature preserve, Barefoot Beach blends resort living with natural Florida beauty. There is public beach access within the community, hence the secondary security gates on many of the communities.
There are six distinct neighborhoods in Barefoot Beach:
The Barefoot Beach Club - A gated neighborhood of 348 condos, built within 12 separate, seven-story buildings. Eight of the buildings are directly on the beach and have amazing views of sunsets. The other four buildings are across the road, facing the back bay and peaceful mangrove estuaries. These high-rise homes, all constructed between 1991 and 1994, range in size from 1,600 to 2,400 SF and have 2-3 bedrooms plus a den. Each building has a secured elevator.
Beach Gardens - A neighborhood of 11 single family “beach gardens” with every home having direct gulf views and beach access. Each beach garden is built in a horseshoe-like configuration and has approximately 9 homes. Each beach garden has two gulf front homes, at each end of the horseshoe, positioned directly on the sand. The other homes capture panoramic sunset and gulf views. Every beach garden has a beautifully landscaped, common area with a swimming pool and entertainment area in the center of the horseshoe. The streets are named alphabetically after tropical islands. The original beach garden homes are evolving as homes get renovated or reconstructed.
Bayfront Gardens - A neighorhood of 30 single family gulf-access homes on Bayfront Drive. Homes in this community are typically multi-story structures and have substantial living space on a small footprint. Most homes have private elevators. The multi-story design provides incredible views over the bay, especially in the evening.
Southport on the Bay - A neighborhood of 106 single family homes hugging the shore of Hickory Bay. All homes have deeded beach access; most homes have a private dock. Most homes have water views while a few of the homes have views of the mangroves.
The Cottages at Barefoot - This neighorhood of 15 detached homes is located along Shell Drive, directly on the beach. Rarely available for sale, these 3-story homes were constructed in the late 1990's, but have been remodeled and updated over the years. They are spacious, reaching over 3,800 SF of living space with 2-car garages. Interestingly, these properties are deeded condominiums.
The Villas - An intimate development of only 50 three-story attached villas built between 1990 and 2002. Floor plans feature 3 bedroom / 3 bath configurations with 1,769-2,800 SF of living space. These three-story villas live like a town home and include a two-car garage. These properties enjoy 400 feet of beach frontage, a private boardwalk to the beach, and two pools/spas.
Homeowners have the option to join The Club at Barefoot Beach, located within the community. The Club offers fine and casual dining, pool and beachside food, drinks and chair service, indoor and outdoor bars, tennis courts and a full events calendar.
