The Bay Colony Real Estate Market
Eighty-nine homes and residences closed in Bay Colony between September 1, 2024 and September 24, 2026, for a combined $507 million, at a median of $5.0 million. The enclave is three markets rather than one, and each prices differently.
| Segment | Sales | $/Sq Ft |
|---|---|---|
| Beachfront towers Six towers on the sand · 407 residences |
43 · $5.5 million | $1,608 |
| Gulf-view buildings Five buildings behind the beachfront row · 305 residences |
24 · $3.0 million | $1,205 |
| Estate homes and villas Four communities · 158 homes |
22 · $5.66 million | $1,299 |
Prices have softened at the top of the market. Beachfront tower residences sold at a median of about $1,534 per square foot in the twelve months to September 24, 2026, against $1,714 in the twelve months before, and closed at about 83% of their original asking price rather than 92%, after a median of 103 days on market rather than 61. The Gulf-view buildings held steadier, closing at about 94% of their original asking price over the last year, and estate homes gave up the most time, at a median of 135 days.
Supply, though, is thin. On September 24, 2026, seven beachfront residences were offered, from $4.5 million to $10.25 million, with one more pending; three Gulf-view residences from $2.495 million to $4.59 million; and three estate homes from $6.995 million to $11.995 million, with a Vizcaya villa pending. That is thirteen homes against 43 sales in the previous twelve months. Fourteen more came off the market unsold between late May and September. In Bay Colony, the residences that sell are the ones priced to the building’s own recent sales. For the wider picture, see the Naples Waterfront Market Report.
The Beachfront Towers
Six towers stand directly on the Gulf beach, completed between 1991 and 1998. Above the lowest floors the view is open Gulf in all six, so what separates them is scale, age, stack and renovation.

|---|---|---|
| Contessa 1991 · 76 residences |
11 · $1.93M to $9.0M Median $2.9M |

Remington, beside the Ritz-Carlton, sold at the highest price per foot, about $2,021, and Windsor, with two residences a floor from 6,085 square feet, at the highest prices, including $15.5 million in April 2025. Contessa, the first tower on the beach and the one with the smallest plans, sold at the lowest price per foot, about $1,353, which makes it the most accessible way onto the beach in Bay Colony. Biltmore was the most active, with thirteen sales. Our Bay Colony beachfront condos guide compares the six towers in detail. The map below places them in order along the beach, from Remington beside the Ritz-Carlton in the north to Contessa in the south, with the twelve Strand estate homes beyond it.

The Gulf-View Buildings
Set back behind the beachfront row, the five Gulf-view buildings look west across the preserve to the Gulf and carry the same club memberships as the towers on the sand. What they offer is space for the money.
| Building | Sold | $/Sq Ft |
|---|---|---|
| Marquesa 1994 · 39 residences |
5 · $1.87M to $5.55M Median $2.35M |

| Trieste 2002 · 106 residences |
4 · $4.3M to $7.3M Median $6.35M |
$1,526 Fees about $56,000 a year |
Trieste, the last building completed in Bay Colony and the largest, sold at a median of $6.35 million for residences of about 3,400 to 4,160 square feet, far larger than a standard beachfront plan. Salerno and Toscana offer three-bedroom residences near $3 million, and Marquesa and Mansion La Palma, with medians of about $2.35 million and $2.31 million, are the least expensive way into Bay Colony. Our Bay Colony Gulf-view condos guide compares them.
Estate Homes and Villas
Four communities hold Bay Colony’s 158 ground-level homes: two of custom estates on their own lots and two of villas where the association looks after the grounds.
| Community | Sold | $/Sq Ft |
|---|---|---|
| Strand 12 beachfront estates |
2 · $12.5M and $21.0M | $1,530 Fees about $26,000 a year |
| Bay Colony Shores 66 estate sites |
10 · $4.7M to $13.0M Median $7.95M |
$1,172 Fees about $22,000 a year |
| Vizcaya 58 villas |
5 · $3.5M to $6.1M Median $5.3M |
$1,466 Fees about $31,000 a year |
| Villa La Palma 22 villas |
5 · $2.75M to $5.25M Median $4.6M |
$1,263 Fees about $43,000 a year |
Strand holds the only single-family homes in Bay Colony directly on the beach, and one sold for $21 million in August 2026, the highest price in Bay Colony over the two years. At Bay Colony Shores, across its Mediterranean-style bridge, three new homes built in 2024 sold for $11.35 million to $13.0 million, while original homes from the 1990s sold from $4.7 million, often to buyers who plan to rebuild. The villas at Vizcaya and Villa La Palma sold from $2.75 million to $6.1 million. Our Bay Colony estate homes and villas guide covers all four.
What It Costs to Own
Association fees in Bay Colony are substantial, and they vary more than buyers expect. The total annual recurring fees reported in recent listings, shown in the tables above, run from about $45,000 a year at Remington to about $63,000 at Contessa for a typical tower residence, and about $115,000 for Windsor’s larger residences. Per square foot, Contessa and Marquesa are the most expensive buildings to carry and Remington and Trieste the least, a difference of more than $9 a square foot a year. Estate homes and villas carry far lower fees, from about $22,000 a year at Bay Colony Shores to about $43,000 at Villa La Palma, where the association looks after the grounds; an estate owner maintains the property. Fees cover the building, its reserves and insurance, and the Bay Colony and Pelican Bay memberships; confirm current dues and any special assessment before making an offer.
The Clubs
Every residence in Bay Colony carries membership in the Bay Colony Beach Club, on the sand beside the towers with its own dining, pool and beach service, and the Bay Colony Tennis Club, with six hydro-clay courts and teaching professionals. Owners are also members of the Pelican Bay Foundation, with nearly three miles of beach, two beachfront restaurants reached by tram through the mangroves, and racquet and wellness centers. The Bay Colony Golf Club, a private club in Pelican Marsh, is separate, with its own membership. Our Bay Colony amenities guide covers each club in detail.
Location
Bay Colony occupies the northern end of Pelican Bay, between Clam Pass and Vanderbilt Beach, with the Ritz-Carlton, Naples beside its beachfront towers. Waterside Shops, Artis—Naples and Mercato are a few minutes from the gate, downtown Naples and Fifth Avenue South are about 20 minutes south, and Naples Airport is about 20 minutes away. For the beaches and neighborhoods to the north, see Vanderbilt Beach.

Due Diligence Before You Buy
The towers were completed between 1991 and 2002. Florida’s condominium safety law requires buildings of three stories or more to complete 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; every tower completed in 1996 or earlier has reached the 30-year mark. Ask early for the milestone inspection report and structural integrity reserve study where they apply, the budget and reserves, recent and pending assessments, the insurance policy, and any planned concrete, window or roof work. Then read the leasing and pet rules for that specific building, which differ, and confirm what conveys: parking spaces, storage and cabanas vary between towers. For an estate home, add the survey, elevation certificate and flood zone, and the permits for any renovation or rebuild. We set all of it out before an offer. Resale buyers have seven days after receiving the condominium documents to cancel.
Bay Colony or the Rest of Pelican Bay?
The Bay Colony premium buys privacy, its own guarded gate and a Beach Club reserved for its own residents. Buyers who want Gulf views and the Pelican Bay Foundation’s beaches at a lower price should look at the twenty Gulf-view towers across Pelican Bay, and buyers who want to walk to restaurants and shops along the beach should compare Park Shore. For every beachfront tower in Naples in one place, see Naples beachfront condos.

We have represented sellers in Bay Colony’s towers, most recently at Contessa, and we know the questions that decide a purchase here: which stack carries the better second view, how a residence’s renovation compares with the best in its building, what the fees and reserves say about the next five years, and what the last sales in that tower actually support. We represent a limited number of buyers at a time and track residences likely to come to market before they are listed. Call (239) 438-1102 for a confidential conversation.

Bay Colony Questions
What is Bay Colony in Naples?
Bay Colony is a gated enclave of about 870 residences at the northern end of Pelican Bay in North Naples: six condominium towers directly on the Gulf beach, five Gulf-view buildings set back behind them, and four communities of estate homes and villas. Every residence carries membership in the private Bay Colony Beach Club and Tennis Club as well as the Pelican Bay Foundation’s beaches and amenities.
Where is Bay Colony located?
Along Bay Colony Drive at the northern end of Pelican Bay, Naples, FL 34108, between Clam Pass to the south and Vanderbilt Beach to the north, with the Ritz-Carlton, Naples beside the beachfront towers. Waterside Shops, Artis—Naples and Mercato are a few minutes from the gate, and downtown Naples is about 20 minutes south.
How much do Bay Colony condos and homes cost?

Sales ranged from $1.83 million for a Gulf-view residence to $21 million for a beachfront estate at Strand.
What are the association fees in Bay Colony?
They are substantial and vary by building. The total annual recurring fees reported in recent listings run from roughly $45,000 to $63,000 a year for a typical beachfront tower residence and about $115,000 at Windsor, from about $48,000 to $57,000 in the Gulf-view buildings, and from about $22,000 to $43,000 for the estate homes and villas. Contessa carries the highest fees per square foot in Bay Colony, Remington and Trieste the lowest among the towers. Confirm current dues and any assessments with the association.
Is Beach Club membership included with a Bay Colony home?
Yes. Membership in the Bay Colony Beach Club and the Bay Colony Tennis Club conveys with every residence through the Bay Colony Community Association, together with Pelican Bay Foundation privileges. The Bay Colony Golf Club is a separate club with its own membership and is not included with a home.
Is it a buyer's market in Bay Colony?
Prices have softened while supply stays thin. Beachfront tower residences sold at a median of about $1,534 per square foot in the twelve months to September 24, 2026, against $1,714 the year before, and closed at about 83% of their original asking price. Yet only thirteen homes and residences were offered across all of Bay Colony on September 24, 2026, against 43 sales in the previous twelve months, so correctly priced residences still sell. Call (239) 438-1102 to talk through a specific building.
Can you rent out a Bay Colony residence?
Within limits. The minimum lease is 90 days wherever leasing is allowed, and how often an owner may lease varies by building, from once a year to three times; Windsor and Strand do not permit leasing. Confirm the current policy in the association documents before buying with rental income in mind. Our Bay Colony vacation rentals page lists what is available for a season.
Is Bay Colony part of Pelican Bay?
Yes. Bay Colony sits inside Pelican Bay and its owners are members of the Pelican Bay Foundation, but it has its own gate, its own association, and its own Beach Club and Tennis Club reserved for Bay Colony residents.
Closed sales reported through the Naples Area Board of REALTORS® MLS, September 2024 to September 2026, covering residential properties in the fifteen Bay Colony subdivisions within Pelican Bay, closed September 1, 2024 through September 24, 2026, and properties offered, pending, withdrawn or taken off the market as of September 24, 2026. Fees are the total annual recurring fees reported in listings and may include assessments. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Club terms, fees, leasing and pet policies change; confirm current details with the association.
