Thirty-four residences, no bridges, half a mile to the Gulf.
The Anchorage at Vanderbilt is a gated condominium of two five-story buildings, joined by walkways and a shared elevator, on the west side of Vanderbilt Drive where the Cocohatchee River opens into Wiggins Bay. Boats leave the docks and reach open water through Wiggins Pass in a few minutes with nothing overhead, and residences trade only a handful of times a year.

Closed sales reported through the Naples Area Board of REALTORS® MLS, September 2024 to September 2026.
The two 1,200-square-foot residences show what height and a slip are worth here. The fifth-floor residence, with Gulf views and a deeded slip, sold for $655,000; the third-floor residence, looking over the bay and river with no slip, sold for $590,000, a difference of $65,000 for the same plan. The fourth-floor Residence 403, with partial Gulf views, was the quickest sale of the four, under contract in twelve days. Total annual recurring fees in these listings ran from about $9,900 to $15,300, rising with the size of the residence.
Deeded Slips and the Run to Wiggins Pass
The Anchorage sits just inside Wiggins Pass on the quiet side of the river, with mangrove islands across the water and the Gulf visible from the upper west-facing residences. The docks are steps from the buildings, the run to open water is a few minutes at idle speed, and there are no bridges between the slip and the beach at Delnor-Wiggins. Dockage is deeded: some residences convey with their own slip and lift and others have none, so dock status is the first thing to confirm on any listing. We check the deed and the dock details on every residence we show.
Seasonal and Annual Rentals
The Anchorage allows 30-day leases up to six times a year, which makes it one of the few Gulf-access condominiums in North Naples that works as a seasonal rental as well as a residence. In September 2026, two-bedroom residences were offered at about $7,000 a month for the winter season and $3,500 to $5,000 a month off season, and recent annual leases were written at $3,500 to $3,600 a month. Owners who split the year can offset carrying costs with winter tenants; see our guide to seasonal rental management or learn about Alpizar Property Management.
Florida’s Condo Safety Law
Built in 1982, The Anchorage falls under Florida’s condominium safety law: a milestone structural inspection at 30 years (25 where the local building official requires it) and every 10 years after, and a structural integrity reserve study every 10 years, the first of which was due by December 31, 2025. Ask the association for the latest inspection report, the reserve study and any planned special assessments before you make an offer, and for a waterfront building of this age add the seawall and the docks to the same list. Resale buyers also have seven days after receiving the condominium documents to cancel the contract.
Where The Anchorage Sits on Wiggins Pass
The Anchorage is number 4 on the map below, on the west side of Vanderbilt Drive just south of Marina Bay Club (3). Across the Cocohatchee River to the north are Pelican Isle (2) and Aqua at Pelican Isle (1); east of the road, on Wiggins Bay, are Cove Towers (5) and the canal homes of Gulf Harbor (6). The four communities west of Vanderbilt Drive reach Wiggins Pass with no bridge, while boats from Cove Towers and Gulf Harbor pass under the Vanderbilt Drive bridge first.

Where Else to Look on the Pass
Marina Bay Club and Pelican Isle sit immediately north on the same water, the first in two-bedroom residences with an on-site marina, the second inside a yacht club's gates with larger three-bedroom homes. Aqua at Pelican Isle is the newest and largest option on the island, and Cove Towers rises on Wiggins Bay in five gated towers with Gulf views from the upper floors and a private marina whose slips are owned and sold separately. For a house and a private dock rather than a residence and a slip, Gulf Harbor is a few minutes away on the Cocohatchee. If the dockage matters more than the building, see boat slips for sale in Naples.
