A Resort Address for the Season
A vacation rental at The Dunes is a furnished tower residence with Gulf and Turkey Bay views, full use of the Plantation Club's resort pool, tiki bar, dining, fitness and tennis, and Vanderbilt Beach and Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park a short distance from the gate. The three Island Cove towers take stays of a month or more, and the Grande Preserve towers and Sea Grove lease by the season.

What a Season at The Dunes Looks Like
Mornings can begin on a lanai over Turkey Bay, the mangroves and the Gulf beyond. The Plantation Club is a short distance from every tower: the lagoon pool and tiki bar for the afternoon, the fitness center and six Har-Tru courts in the morning, the Royal Palm Room and The Sandbar in the evening, all of it open to approved guests. The beach is a few minutes away at Vanderbilt Beach or Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park, and the Ritz-Carlton, LaPlaya, Mercato and Waterside Shops fill the rest of the week.
Choosing the Right Tower for Your Stay
The Island Cove towers, Antigua, Barbados and Cayman, are the flexible choice: three-bedroom residences from about 1,900 to 2,200 square feet and a thirty-day minimum, which makes them the natural fit for a single month or a first winter in Naples. The Grande Preserve towers ask for ninety days and reward it with private elevator entries, larger plans up to about 3,700 square feet and the higher Gulf horizons. Sea Grove's lakefront coach homes come with an attached two-car garage and a front door of their own. Monthly rents scale accordingly, from about $13,000 in the Island Cove towers to about $22,000 in the Grande Preserve for the season.
Seasonal Rates by Tower
Across 32 seasonal listings at The Dunes in the MLS, the Island Cove towers asked a median $13,000 a month for the season and the Grande Preserve a median $22,250, with off-season rates of roughly $4,000 to $11,000 and $6,000 to $15,000. Residences listed as rented were asking $13,000 to $23,000, and a tenth-floor Grande Geneva residence of 3,050 square feet set the top of the market at $28,500 a month.

Own at The Dunes? Let Us Manage Your Vacation Rental
Alpizar Property Management handles furnished seasonal rentals in North Naples, from marketing and guest screening to association applications, turnover cleaning, maintenance through vetted vendors and monthly statements. A Dunes residence rented well through the winter can carry much of its own cost: at the median asking rate, a January-through-April season grosses roughly $52,000 in an Island Cove tower and $89,000 in the Grande Preserve before management and expenses, against annual association fees of about $28,000 to $40,000 and $38,000 to $62,000. Tell us about your residence and we will outline what it should earn.

Dunes Vacation Rental FAQs
What is the shortest stay available at The Dunes?
Thirty days, in the Antigua, Barbados and Cayman towers. The Grande Preserve towers and Sea Grove require a ninety-day minimum. Nightly and weekly rentals are not permitted anywhere in the community.
Do vacation guests get to use the Plantation Club?
Yes. Approved guests enjoy the resort pool, tiki bar, dining, fitness center, tennis and pickleball for the length of their stay. The Floridian Club beach club is reserved for member-owners and does not transfer to guests.
When should I book a winter stay at The Dunes?
January through April is the peak season, so start the search as early as you can and allow two to four weeks for the association application. Off-season stays from May through December come at lower rates.
Is The Dunes on the beach?
No. The Dunes sits on the preserve side of Vanderbilt Drive overlooking Turkey Bay, with Gulf views from the towers. Vanderbilt Beach and Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park are a short distance from the gate, and the club's pool and beach-style amenities are inside the community.
Can I bring a pet to a Dunes vacation rental?
Only if the owner allows it. Every building permits two pets with breed restrictions, but owners decide whether their residence is pet-friendly for guests, so tell us up front and we will search accordingly.
How much does a seasonal rental at The Dunes cost?
Seasonal listings in the Island Cove towers asked a median $13,000 a month, from about $10,500 to $16,000, and Grande Preserve residences a median $22,250, from about $15,000 to $28,500. Off-season rates run roughly $4,000 to $15,000 a month depending on the tower and residence.
Rental policies, approval requirements and club privileges are set by each association and are subject to change; verify current terms in the condominium documents and with the association before leasing.
