As of October 6, 2026, one residence was for sale: a third-floor three-bedroom of 2,014 square feet at $2,150,000. Its neighbors trade more often: Sea Chase, to the south, sold three residences at a median of about $1.96 million, or $1,236 a square foot, and the standard residences at Villas of Vanderbilt, to the north, sold for $1,400,000 to $1,425,000. With so few sales, each Casa Grande purchase turns on condition and floor, and we review the association’s budget, reserve study and inspection reports with our buyers. The Vanderbilt Beach Market Report tracks the neighborhood each month.
Closed sales reported through the Naples Area Board of REALTORS® MLS, September 2024 to September 2026.

Residences at Casa Grande
Residences run two and three bedrooms from roughly 1,579 to 2,014 square feet, with a den in select plans, a size range that suits full-season use. The building sits in first position on the sand, with living areas and lanais facing the beach and the Gulf. As with most beachfront buildings from the early eighties, condition is the variable that matters most: some residences remain close to original, others have been rebuilt to current standards. Floor plans are available on request.
Built in 1983, Casa Grande 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. Casa Grande is past the 30-year mark, so ask the association for the latest inspection report, the reserve study and any planned special assessments before you make an offer. Resale buyers also have seven days after receiving the condominium documents to cancel the contract.
Amenities and Location
The amenities are straightforward: a pool and sun deck on the beach side, a grill and gathering area, extra storage and direct access to the sand. LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort is a short walk north, the Turtle Club and the Ritz-Carlton Beach Resort are to the south along the same beach, Mercato and Whole Foods are minutes east on Vanderbilt Beach Road, and Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park is a few minutes north.
