Pelican Bay Melinda Gunther August 4, 2025
Breakwater at Pelican Bay is one of North Naples’ most sought-after gated condo communities. Tucked away at the northern end of Pelican Bay off North Point Drive, Breakwater offers a relaxed, low-density lifestyle with the luxury of private garages, spacious floor plans, and tranquil lake and preserve views.
Completed between 1996 and 1999, Breakwater consists of 216 residences with two popular floor plans. Condos range from 1,700 to over 1,800 square feet of living space, featuring 10-foot ceilings or vaulted ceilings that create an airy, open feel.
Each residence includes a private two-car garage under the building, with some units offering oversized garages for additional storage. Nine fortunate owners even enjoy the rarity of a full three-car garage, a coveted amenity in Pelican Bay.
Residents of Breakwater have access to a community pool, spa, sauna, club room, and fitness center, fostering a vibrant social atmosphere. Tennis enthusiasts enjoy the convenience of nearby courts, while golfers have potential access to the prestigious 27-hole championship course designed by Arthur Hills, though a long waitlist for golf membership should be noted.
As with all Pelican Bay neighborhoods, Breakwater homeowners enjoy private beach access via tram or walking paths, giving them a front-row seat to Naples’ pristine Gulf of Mexico shoreline.
Breakwater’s design emphasizes peaceful living, with many residences offering picturesque lake views, while others are nestled among lush preserves and manicured landscapes. Water features throughout the neighborhood not only enhance the scenery but also provide soothing background sounds that define the serene Breakwater lifestyle.
The community is also pet-friendly. Owners can have a “reasonable” number of pets without size or weight restrictions, as long as they are leashed or carried in common areas. While annual renters may bring their pets, seasonal and short-term renters are not permitted to do so, ensuring a calm environment for residents year-round.
Situated between US-41 and the Gulf of Mexico, Breakwater's prime location at the northern tip of Pelican Bay offers easy access to Vanderbilt Beach Road, Mercato, and The Waterside Shops. Residents enjoy the convenience of North Naples living while being minutes from Pelican Bay’s beach clubs and miles of walking and biking paths.
With its combination of spacious floorplans, private garages, resort-style amenities, pet-friendly policies, and private beach access, Breakwater continues to attract discerning buyers looking for a low-maintenance, luxury lifestyle in Naples.
