St Andrews At Pelican Bay

If you love the idea of finishing dinner at the Club at Pelican Bay, then strolling a few steps home under the stars, St Andrews might be your kind of secret address. This intimate, gated enclave of just sixteen detached villas sits right beside the clubhouse in the center of Pelican Bay with its own walk-through gate that connects directly to the club. It feels private and tucked away, yet you are in the absolute heart of the community.

As a Realtor who focuses heavily on Pelican Bay villas, I watch St Andrews very carefully. Opportunities here are rare, and when a villa comes to market, it tends to draw attention from owners who already know Pelican Bay and are waiting for this exact combination of privacy, location, and convenience.

Location: In The Heart Of Pelican Bay

St Andrews sits in the central section of Pelican Bay, just east of the golf course and adjacent to the Club at Pelican Bay. From a lifestyle perspective, that means:

• A very short walk to the clubhouse for dinner, social events, or a round of golf

• Quick access to Pelican Bay Boulevard for the tram stations and beach clubs

• Easy drives to Waterside Shops, Artis–Naples, Mercato, and central Naples dining

It feels almost like a private lane reserved for those who want to be close to everything while still tucked away in a quiet, residential setting.

The Villas: Classic Architecture With Private Pools

St Andrews is made up of sixteen detached villas, built roughly between 1986 and 1987, generally ranging from just over 1,900 to almost 2,400 square feet of living area. Inside, you typically see:

• Single-family style floor plans with defined living and dining spaces

• Split bedroom layouts that work well for guests

• Vaulted or volume ceilings that bring in light

• Generous primary suites that open out to the pool or lanai

• Two-car garages and driveways that feel more like a single family home than a condo

Many villas offer:

• Screened lanais with private pools for a true indoor-outdoor lifestyle

• Lake or lushly landscaped garden views

• Updated kitchens and baths, depending on the renovation history

Because there are only sixteen homes, each villa has its own personality. Some lean more traditional, others have been reimagined with today’s clean, coastal design.

Lifestyle: From Front Door To Clubhouse In A Few Steps

One of the defining features of St Andrews is the walk-through gate that opens directly from the neighborhood to the Club at Pelican Bay. For owners, that means:

• Meet friends for golf or an event without getting in the car

• Enjoy club dining, then stroll home in minutes

• A feeling that the club is an extension of your neighborhood

Of course, you still have everything that makes Pelican Bay special:

• Private beach clubs with chair and umbrella service

• The tram system and boardwalks through the mangroves

• Tennis, fitness, social events, and an active year-round calendar

St Andrews simply layers on a little extra convenience for those who love club life at the center of it all.

HOA, Rentals, And Pets

Details can change over time, so always confirm the most current rules before you buy or sell. Generally, St Andrews has offered:

• Pets: Up to two dogs with a weight limit per pet

• Rentals: Limited rentals per year with minimum lease terms

• Maintenance: Exterior and common area maintenance included through the association, which helps keep the neighborhood consistent and well cared for

These guidelines help preserve the quiet, residential feel that owners here value.

Who St Andrews Is Perfect For

St Andrews is a great fit if you:

• Want a villa lifestyle that feels like a single family home without full estate home upkeep

• Appreciate being able to walk to the Club at Pelican Bay

• Prefer a very small, gated neighborhood where neighbors know each other

• Value privacy, a private pool, and a garage more than a high-rise Gulf view

• Already know and love Pelican Bay and are waiting for the “right” villa in a central location

Smart Buyer And Seller Notes

Inventory in St Andrews is extremely limited. With only sixteen homes, there may be long stretches with no active listings. When something special comes to market, you need to be prepared with a clear understanding of value in Pelican Bay villas so you can move confidently and quickly.

For sellers:
If you own in St Andrews, you hold one of the most unique villa addresses in Pelican Bay. Thoughtful preparation, design refreshes where needed, and strategic marketing can help you capture the premium that comes with this location.
