About this home
Top-Floor Gulf & Bay Views | Vanderbilt Towers | Naples This renovated top-floor condo looks out over the Gulf and Water Turkey Bay. The views open from the eighth floor and run to the horizon. The 1-bedroom, 1-bath layout offers 865 square feet of updated living space plus another 225 square feet of lanai to enjoy. Impact windows and designer finishes define the interior, and the unit has been brought up to current standards throughout. Furnishings are available for purchase separately, which makes a turnkey close possible for the right buyer. A dedicated path leads from the building to the sand for a short walk to the beach. Mornings often bring dolphins to the bay, and sunsets stretch across the Gulf each evening. The building has been well cared for, with a recently renovated lobby and community gathering room with a full kitchen. A heated pool, grills, and a kayak launch round out the amenities. The launch opens directly onto the bay's protected waters. Paddling routes lead through the surrounding estuary and out toward Wiggins Pass. Vanderbilt Beach sits in one of Naples' most established coastal pockets. La Playa Beach Resort and the Ritz-Carlton are neighbors. Paraíso, a private beach club approved for Gulf Shore Drive, is in development. Mercato is minutes away for dining and shopping, with Waterside Shops and 5th Avenue South a bit further south. Whole Foods sits at the edge of the neighborhood. The area draws visitors year-round, with a busier season from January through April. The unit currently operates as a short-term rental, and rental history is available on request. Some upcoming months are already booked, and the buyer may assume existing leases. Rental income would be in place at closing. This unit works as a year-round home, a seasonal home, or a rental property.
