Golfing communities abound in Naples, but Windstar is the only one that also features deep-water, bridge-free boating access to Naples Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Windstar is directly across the bay from Port Royal.
The central attraction in most golf communities is the clubhouse. Windstar is unique in that it has two. One is situated on the Tom Fazio-designed championship golf course. The other is located on an island at the Southpointe Marina within the Windstar community.
There are 600 homes within the Windstar’s 450-acre, gated community. Seventeen neighborhoods feature coach homes, condos, villas, and single family homes available in a wide variety of floor plans and price ranges.
Neighborhoods include Admiral’s Watch, Clipper Cove, Compass Point South, Harrington Sound, Ketch Cay, Leeward Cay, Marina Cove, Morningstar, Northstar Villas, Somerset at Windstar, Southpointe Yacht Club, Spinnaker Pointe, Spyglass Pointe, Summerset, Windstar, Windward Cay, and Yacht Harbor Cove.
Admiral’s Watch, Compass Point South, Marina Cove, Morningstar, Spinnaker Pointe, and Windward Cay are home to low-rise condos. Northstar Villas is complemented by the villa homes of Somerset at Windstar. Windward Cay condos are in four-to-seven-story mid-rise buildings. Other neighborhoods feature single-family homes.
The country club is member-owned, but membership is optional, and play is open to residents and non-residents. The club offers three levels of membership. Full Golf offers unlimited golf privileges and access to all club amenities. A Social Golf membership includes unlimited golf from April 16th to November 14th and five rounds between November 15th and April 15th at the peak of the tourist season. Social memberships are available for the non-golfers who wish to take advantage of all the other amenities of the club.
Public school students living in Windstar attend Avalon Elementary School, Gulfview Middle School or Naples High School.
The shops and restaurants of Naples’ popular 5th Avenue are just three miles and only two left turns away. Residents enjoy the multiple cultural blessings of 5th Avenue, including a dozen different fine art galleries, more than thirty dining options from casual to world-class cuisine and more than a score of fashionable boutiques and fine jewelers.
At the end of a day shopping on 5th Avenue, sunning on the beach, playing tennis on one of the community’s six Har-Tru tennis courts, or playing a round of golf, many Windstar residents like to enjoy dining at the Sunset Bar & Grille, the more formal Bayside dining room, or the Keewaydin Grille and Terrace at the main clubhouse.
Even if Windstar were not one-of-a-kind, it would still be special.
