Move In Later, Tee Off Now –How Future Florida Residents are Getting a Head Start on the Good Life

Southwest Florida’s charm, with its pristine Gulf waters, renowned golf courses, and abundant entertainment, draws many to its shores. Just north of Naples in Estero, a new opportunity is offering the chance to experience this lifestyle within a private club setting. While The Island at West Bay Club is still under construction, those who sign a residential contract immediately gain access to the amenities of West Bay Club. From a private Beach Club to Troon Privé privileges, future residents can begin connecting with their community as their homes are being built. Here’s a glimpse of what they’re enjoying today.

Savor the Gulf Breeze at the Private Beach Club

West Bay Club is one of the only communities in the area with a private Beach Club on Little Hickory Island. With seamless access to the Gulf, Island residents can enjoy oceanfront dining with fresh, Florida-inspired cuisines. Beach attendants ensure a carefree experience, bringing food, drinks, and more directly to Members’ lounge chairs in the sand.

Tee Off in Southwest Florida or Worldwide

Designed by Pete and P.B. Dye, the West Bay Club golf course offers a challenging yet picturesque round, winding through wetlands and nature preserves. Golfers of all skill levels can enjoy stunning views and occasional wildlife sightings. Plus, as a Troon Privé club, members enjoy reciprocal privileges at nearly 200 golf courses worldwide. Separate Golf Club Membership initiation fees apply.

Delight in a Post-Round Meal

Golf Members also enjoy dining experiences tailored to every moment both on and off the course. The Halfway House on the greens keeps players fueled with grab-and-go breakfast and lunch options, including the Member-favorite Niblick chili. After a round, players can choose between two venues at the Golf Clubhouse. Unwind at the Golf House, savoring á la carte meals, wine dinners, or the cozy ambiance of a speakeasy-inspired bar. The Niblick offers a casual sports grille atmosphere with pub-style fare for a more laid-back gathering.

Embrace Wellness at The Bay House

The Bay House is the perfect spot for family fun and relaxation. Island residents can enjoy a refreshing swim in the resort-style pool, enjoy farm-to-table alfresco dining at the Aqua Café, or host events in the multipurpose spaces. The fitness center, surrounded by glass windows, offers the latest in cardiovascular and strength training equipment, along with dedicated spaces for stretching and personal training.

Serve Up Fun at the Net

The Net, the Club’s tennis facility, is always buzzing with energy. Here, Island residents enjoy eight Har-Tru courts surrounded by an octagon-shaped building that offers views from every court. With an active event lineup, it’s easy to jump into casual games, join themed events, or hone their skills with expert-led lessons and clinics.

Get Active at the Sports Park

With six pickleball courts, the Sports Park is a lively space for fast-paced, social games with new neighbors. Meanwhile, two bocce ball courts offer a more laid-back, yet equally fun experience. Adjacent to the pickleball center, a shaded dog park and picnic areas provide recreational options for furry friends.

Paddle Through Southwest Florida’s Waterways

For those seeking exercise in a natural setting, River Park borders the Estero River. A boat launch for boating, kayaking, or paddleboarding opens doors to West Bay Club’s 500 acres of conservation land. With kayaks and canoes available, Island residents can enjoy a leisurely paddle through winding waterways and lush mangroves, all the way to the Gulf.

A Carefree Island Lifestyle from Top to Bottom

In addition to the West Bay Club lifestyle, The Island residents will have a wide array of signature amenities within their Southwest Florida condominium. On the rooftop, residents will enjoy dips in the adult Relaxation Pool and sunset celebrations overlooking the expansive Gulf of America vistas. The ground level includes a second pool with lap lanes for swimming, along with a family-friendly Splash Lounge for gatherings. Other amenities include a Resident Club Room, a Fitness Center, a Sports Lounge with a golf simulator, private guest suites, and refrigerated storage for deliveries.

Southwest Florida Living Without Compromise

The Island at West Bay’s 86 residences have captivated future homeowners with their 100% corner layouts. Each home features expansive private terraces, walls of glass, and sleek, contemporary finishes, all designed to maximize the breathtaking views of Estero Bay. Early buyers can take advantage of full access to West Bay Club’s golf and beach amenities today, along with the opportunity to personalize their future homes with preferred finishes, layouts, and views.
