Park Shore Melinda Gunther December 18, 2025
There’s a certain kind of Naples buyer who wants the Gulf in front of them, Venetian Village across the street, and a building that feels easy. Not flashy. Not trying too hard. Just quietly positioned in one of the best pockets of Park Shore. That’s Bay Shore Place.
It sits on the Gulf side of Gulf Shore Boulevard at 4255 Gulf Shore Blvd N, with 103 residences in a 16-floor tower(you’ll sometimes see the story count presented differently depending on how the building is measured).
Lifestyle-first location: Beach out back, The Village Shops on Venetian Bay basically across the street. You can genuinely live a “park once” day here.
Views that change with the stack: Many residences capture Gulf sunsets, Venetian Bay sparkle, or a mix of both.
Classic Park Shore lock-and-leave: Under-building parking, secure entry, on-site management, and amenities that support simple, elevated living.
A “right-sized” beachfront option: Compared to some of the larger, more expensive first-position towers, Bay Shore Place can feel like a smart way to buy into Gulf-front Park Shore without overbuying.
Year built: 1994
Residences: 103
Floors: 16
Setting: Gulf side of Gulf Shore Blvd, near Venetian Village
Bay Shore Place is known for floor-to-ceiling glass and terraces that actually get used, including wraparound lanais in certain residences. It’s a building that rewards buyers who care about light, horizon lines, and indoor-outdoor living more than trendy buzzwords.
Expect the “Naples essentials” done well:
Heated pool and spa
Fitness room
Social / club room and a library
Guest suites (huge for overflow season)
BBQ and outdoor gathering area
Bike storage, extra storage, vehicle wash
Guard-gated entry and on-site management
This is one of those addresses where you can do a morning beach walk, a long lunch at Venetian Village, and still be ten minutes from the cultural and shopping core of town. This location is not far from Waterside Shops, Artis Naples, and Old Naples dining.
Second-home owners who want true convenience (and minimal friction when they fly in).
View lovers who want Gulf sunsets but also enjoy Venetian Bay night lights.
Buyers who entertain and value guest suites plus walkability to waterfront dining.
People who want Park Shore beachfront without feeling like they must buy the biggest, newest, or most expensive tower on the sand.
Pet rules are worth a careful check. The building is pet-friendly for owners with weight limits. Melinda will confirm the current association rules and whether they differ for owners vs tenants before you write.
Even in pet-friendly buildings, dogs are not permitted on the City of Naples beach. Park Shore also has its own park rules, so your dog-walk routine needs to be planned around that.
Stack and elevation matter more than people expect. The “feel” of a residence here changes dramatically based on orientation and how much Gulf versus Bay you capture.
Guest suites are a real value. If you host family and friends in season, this can change your whole floor plan strategy.
