The Pointe at Pelican Bay Coach Homes

A quick lifestyle vignette

The Pointe at Pelican Bay is for the buyer who wants their Naples days to feel easy. You pull into your attached garage, step into a generous, “real-home” floor plan, and you are five minutes from coffee, errands, and dinner plans. Then you’re back inside your own gated pocket of Pelican Bay, where the clubhouse and pool feel polished, friendly, and quietly resort-like.

If your dream is all about cinematic Gulf views, this is not that. If your dream is space, comfort, storage, and lock-and-leave simplicity that still lives like a true home, The Pointe is a smart little secret.

Big-Picture Appeal

• It lives larger than most Pelican Bay condos. These are the floor plans buyers “exhale” into, generous rooms, real storage, and day-to-day comfort. The coach homes at The Pointe would be very comfortable for year-round living.

• Garage-and-elevator practicality. Attached garages plus elevator access in many second-floor homes is a big deal for seasonal living, guests, and aging-in-place planning. 

• Resort-lite amenities without the high-rise feel. A beautiful pool and clubhouse that feels like a private retreat inside Pelican Bay. 

• North Pelican Bay convenience. Easy access to Mercato and Pavilion for real-life errands and dinners. 

• A realistic trade-off: views. Most homes look toward neighboring buildings, landscaping, or road corridors. The lifestyle win here is space and function, not horizon lines. 

The Pointe, broken down

1) Floor plans and how they “feel”

The Pointe’s reputation is built on scale. Many residences land in that sweet spot where you are not paying for a tower lifestyle you may not use, but you still get square footage that supports real hosting and real routines. Expect 2-bedroom-plus-den and 3-bedroom variations, with sizes commonly cited around 2,000 to 2,700 square feet. 

This is why buyers fight for the best-kept, best-updated units here: the underlying layout is strong, and renovations tend to “read” expensive because the rooms can carry better materials and furniture scale.

Signature Pointe detail: larger lanais and pergola-like outdoor moments show up frequently, which helps make “no big view” still feel like a beautiful Naples home base. 

2) Garages, elevators, and why they matter more than people expect

Pelican Bay buyers are often coming from a high-rise mindset. The moment you give them an attached garage and the ability to store beach gear, bikes, golf clubs, and seasonal items without wrestling elevators and common hallways, something clicks. The Pointe is known for that practical luxury. 

Many second-floor residences have elevator access, which is a genuine differentiator in coach home living, especially for seasonal residents, buyers planning ahead, or anyone who simply wants easier grocery day.

3) Amenities that feel like a private club

The Pointe’s pool and clubhouse are often described as “beautiful,” and it shows in how residents use them. Instead of a giant amenity deck with crowds, it tends to feel curated and calm: pool, clubhouse, fitness. 

4) The view conversation, handled honestly

The views at The Pointe at Pelican Bay are the challenge. Some residences do better if they face open space, community areas, or the pool, but many look toward other buildings or road edges. 

Here’s the smart way to shop The Pointe:

• Prioritize light exposure, window orientation, and lanai privacy over “what you're looking at out there.”

• Tour at different times of day to see how the home lives.

• If you love a unit but it feels dim, a light, clean renovation plan can transform the experience fast.

5) Location, daily life, and why north Pelican Bay has its own fan club

This pocket of Pelican Bay is about being close to the parts of Naples you actually use weekly. Mercato is a major anchor for dining, events, and everyday convenience, and Pavilion is a classic nearby stop for shopping and services. 

Right next door, the Pelican Bay Community Park and racquets facility is a lifestyle upgrade for pickleball and tennis lovers, with significant court infrastructure and programming. 

And of course, Pelican Bay’s beach life is its own category. The community’s open-air electric tram system connects stations to boardwalks through mangroves, making the beach feel like an experience, not a parking problem.
For private Pelican Bay dining, Marker 36 is one of the Pelican Bay beach restaurant anchors. 

Who The Pointe at Pelican Bay is Perfect For:

• Seasonal buyers who want “condo-easy” with more space and storage

• Downsizers who still want guest capacity (grandkids, friends, visiting family)

• Golf, tennis, and pickleball people who want courts and fitness close to home 

• Anyone who values an attached garage and elevator convenience over high-floor views 

Smart Buyer Notes

• Confirm rules in writing. The Pointe allows one lease per year with a 90-day minimum, and pet-friendly policies that may include size limits, but rules can change and should be verified via the condo documents and management. 

• Shop the “best light,” not the best view. In The Pointe at Pelican Bay, orientation, privacy on the lanai, and interior brightness often matter more than what you see beyond the landscaping line. 

• Renovation ROI can be strong when the layout is right. Bigger rooms reward better finishes, and updated homes tend to stand out faster in this niche.

• Think like a local on convenience. If you love being near Mercato and Pavilion, north Pelican Bay can feel like the easiest version of Naples living.
