Nineteen residences on the sand, two to a floor, and no rentals at any term.
The Vanderbilt is the newest beachfront building on Gulf Shore Drive apart from Moraya Bay, an eleven-story tower of just nineteen residences completed in 2005. Each home runs roughly 3,820 square feet with a private elevator foyer and two enclosed garage spaces, and leases are not permitted at any term, which makes this the most consistently owner-occupied beachfront address in Vanderbilt Beach.

Residences at The Vanderbilt
Two residences to a floor, each entered from a coded private elevator that opens into the home. Standard plans run roughly 3,820 square feet with three bedrooms, a den, a family room and three and a half baths — scale that lives like a single-family house rather than a condominium — and the two penthouses reach approximately 4,316 square feet. Nine-foot ceilings, a gourmet kitchen with gas cooking and an island, a generous screened lanai with a built-in grill facing the Gulf, and an east-facing sunrise terrace off the guest rooms are standard. South-side residences take unobstructed Gulf views down the coast toward Sanibel. Electric hurricane shutters, two enclosed garage spaces and natural gas — rare in a Naples beachfront building — round out the specification. Floor plans are available on request.
Amenities and the Beachfront Setting
The building is gated with secured entry and a recently renovated lobby, and the amenity program is scaled to nineteen owners rather than a crowd: a resort pool and spa steps from the sand, a fitness room, a club room and a grill area, with direct private beach access. The setting is the rest of it. The Turtle Club and the Ritz-Carlton are along the same stretch of sand, Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park is a short distance north, and Mercato — Whole Foods, the Silver Spot cinema and more than fifteen restaurants — is minutes away on Vanderbilt Beach Road.
