Beauville in Pelican Bay: The “Secret Villa Pocket” That Feels Like a Private Resort

A quick lifestyle vignette

Beauville is for the buyer who wants their Naples life to feel effortless. Morning coffee on a quiet lanai, a quick bike ride under the trees, then hop the open-air tram through the mangroves to lunch by the water. You get that “villa living” sense of privacy, but you still get the Pelican Bay rhythm that makes every day feel like vacation. 

Big-Picture Appeal

• Boutique scale. Beauville is a small neighborhood, which is exactly why owners tend to stay put and listings can be rare.

• Villa-style living with real functionality. Offering attached garages, pools and indoor-outdoor space that lives like a single-family home, without the full single-family upkeep. 

• A “French village” feel inside Pelican Bay. It has a charming, tucked-away character that feels different from the high-rise corridors. 

• Pelican Bay beach life is the headline. Tram service through the berm and mangroves, plus beachfront dining at Marker 36 and the Sandbar. 

Beauville at a glance

Beauville was built in the late 1980s (commonly 1988–1990) and features attached and detached villa-style residences, with some homes offering private pools and golf course or landscaped views. 

Because sources sometimes report the residence count differently, the simplest truth is the one buyers feel: it’s a small, low-turnover pocket, so opportunities here tend to be “blink and you miss it.”

What it feels like to live here

1) The villa lifestyle

Beauville is loved for that relaxed, private-home vibe: sun on the patio, tropical landscaping, and a layout that makes it easy to host friends without feeling like you live in a building.

2) The Pelican Bay “unfair advantage”

Pelican Bay’s open-air, electric-powered tram system connects multiple stations along a raised berm conservation area to boardwalks through the mangroves, making beach days feel easy and nature-rich. The Foundation notes the tram system makes more than 900,000 trips annually. 

And then there’s the part everyone remembers: lunch or sunset cocktails right on the Gulf at Pelican Bay’s beachfront venues.

3) The “in the middle of everything” location

Beauville sits in the heart of Pelican Bay, so you are close to the beach tram system, the Pelican Bay Golf Club area, and the daily conveniences that make Naples living feel seamless.

Who Beauville is perfect for

• Second-home owners who want a true lock-and-leave plan, but still want a garage and outdoor space

• Buyers who crave privacy and love the idea of a villa that feels like a small single-family home

• Pet lovers who want a neighborhood where pets are commonly permitted, while still enjoying Pelican Bay amenities (details vary, so we verify) 

• People who want Pelican Bay without a high-rise and prefer something lower, quieter, and more “hidden gem”

Smart Buyer Notes

• Leasing and pet rules are not one-size-fits-all. Different sources cite different minimum lease terms and approval requirements, so I always confirm the current documents before you plan around rental flexibility or pet specifics. 

• The best buys here are usually about outdoor living. Pool courtyards, screened lanais, and how private the setting feels matter as much as interior finishes.
