By Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar, McGreevy and Comisar, Domain Realty Group. Updated October 2026.

More about Jesse McGreevy, Marc Comisar and our team on the McGreevy and Comisar about page.

McGreevy and Comisar are a Bonita Springs buyer’s team, and this is our buying plan for a condo at Barefoot Beach Club III, the 92-home condominium of three Gulf-side buildings at 265, 267 and 269 Barefoot Beach Boulevard inside Barefoot Beach. The full neighborhood record sits in our Barefoot Beach Club III guide. This page turns that record into buying steps: what the nine recorded sales show, what a buyer pays beyond the price, what the recorded documents require and what to ask for before you sign.

Bonita Springs or Naples? The mailing address says Bonita Springs, Florida 34134, but Barefoot Beach lies in unincorporated Collier County, outside both cities, so Collier County sets the property taxes, flood rules, permits and public schools. The Southwest Florida MLS was pulled for this page on October 3, 2026, and every MLS figure carries that date.

Two other names are easy to confuse with this one. Barefoot Beach Club III is one of four condominium associations in Barefoot Beach Club, the 348-home community with its own umbrella buyer page, and The Club at Barefoot Beach is a separate private beach and tennis club on Shell Drive whose membership does not convey with a deed. Barefoot Beach Club is also the name of unrelated hotels on Florida’s other coast. None of them is Club III.

How Do I Buy a Condo in Barefoot Beach Club III in 2026?

To buy a condo in Barefoot Beach Club III in 2026, start with the documents, not the price: request the Florida Statute 718.503 package and the estoppel certificate early, plan for board approval of your purchase, get flood and wind quotes for the exact building, and price from the nearest like home, because the county holds only nine qualified sales in five years.

A buyer in a 300-unit tower can price from dozens of recent sales. A Club III buyer prices from nine recorded deeds spread over three buildings and five floor plans, so the work moves from the market to the paperwork. If you are weighing the older neighbor at the other end of the Gulf-side row, our Barefoot Beach Club I buyer page covers it.

The steps, in order

  1. Sign a written buyer agreement before touring, as the August 2024 settlement changes require.
  2. Pick the building and plan before the unit, because plan and floor decide most of the price.
  3. Ask for the document package on contract day. Florida Statute 718.503 entitles a buyer under contract to it, at the seller’s expense.
  4. Count the seven days of the statutory cancellation clause, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays.
  5. Send the approval application the day you sign, because the board has 10 business days to act.
  6. Order the estoppel certificate, the reliable source of what is owed and what is pending.
  7. Quote wind, flood and unit-owner insurance by building address before the inspection period ends.
  8. Choose the closing agent. In Collier County the buyer customarily pays the owner’s title policy and picks the closing agent, and the contract controls.

Key Takeaways

These are the nine facts a Club III buyer should know in October 2026.

  • The county recorded 9 qualified Club III sales in the last 60 months, between $1,150,000 and $2,600,000, and 4 in the last 12 months, all at 267 Barefoot Beach Boulevard. No window reaches 10 sales, so we list the sales and publish no median.
  • Club III is a chapter 718 condominium of 92 homes in three seven-level buildings dated 1992 on the county roll, so the document package and the 7-day cancellation clause apply.
  • County just values run from $1,119,040 to $2,339,440, and recorded prices ran from 89.9 to 160.3 percent of each home’s just value.
  • No dollar fee is published for the Club III association, the Club umbrella or the Master Association, so the budget and the estoppel certificate are the only real source.
  • Every building is in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area in our reading of the public map layers, with AE and VE lines crossing all three footprints.
  • Leases run at least 30 days, three a year, with board approval, and pets are limited to an aggregate 45 pounds under the Club master declaration.
  • The private beach and tennis club on Shell Drive is separate, and its membership is not conveyed with a Club III deed.
  • Southwest Florida MLS figures are dated October 3, 2026. The 10 closings in the 36 months to that date took a median of 150 days on market and closed at a median 89.5% of the final list price, and 4 condos were listed for sale on October 3, 2026.

Our Club III buyer track record, stated plainly

Recent Barefoot Beach Club III buyer track record (last 12 months): The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled October 3, 2026, shows 4 Club III closings in the 12 months to that date, and our buyer count is 0 of those 4. McGreevy and Comisar closed no sale at Barefoot Beach Club III through the Southwest Florida MLS in the 60 months to October 3, 2026, on either the listing or the buying side.

What we can document is what we tracked. We tracked every one of the 9 county-qualified Club III sales in the last 60 months and the 9 further recorded deeds the county did not code as qualified, and we read all 92 Club III parcels on the 2026 preliminary roll, for this page. Jesse and Marc together carry over $900 million in personal sales, and the Domain Realty Group team they lead has sold over $2.5 Billion in real estate. Neither is a Club III number, and we did not sell or represent any sale listed here.

What Is the Barefoot Beach Club III Condo Market Like for Buyers Right Now?

Barefoot Beach Club III recorded 9 county-qualified condo sales in the 60 months since October 2021, between $1,150,000 and $2,600,000, all resales, and four of them, all at 267 Barefoot Beach Boulevard, fell in the last 12 months. These are county records of qualified Department of Revenue sales, not Southwest Florida MLS closings, and nine sales cannot set a price.

Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)

The county sales ladder, window by window

Club III never reaches 10 inside five years, so each window below shows its count, range and total, and the sales follow.

WindowQualified sales (n)LowestHighestTotal dollar volume
Last 12 months (since October 2025)4$1,150,000$2,450,000$7,200,000
Last 24 months (since October 2024)7$1,150,000$2,600,000$13,475,000
Last 36 months (since October 2023)7$1,150,000$2,600,000$13,475,000
Last 60 months (since October 2021)9$1,150,000$2,600,000$17,635,000

Qualified sales are a county record, not an MLS record, and the county can lag a closing by weeks. The median of these 9 sales is $2,000,000 and the median of the 4 sales in the last 12 months is $1,800,000, and we give both only to describe those sales: they are not a price for any one home, and we draw no trend from them.

Every county-qualified Club III sale in the last 60 months

All nine are resales and none is builder-direct. Price per square foot is the price divided by the county base area, which is not an MLS living area.

June 23, 2026$1,150,000267 Barefoot Beach BlvdX1,604 sq ft$717OR 6604 PG 3865

Four of the nine are at 265, five are at 267 and none is at 269, which has no qualified sale in 60 months. The $2,600,000 sale on February 12, 2025 is the highest qualified Club III sale in the county’s file, which runs back to 1992.

The last 12 months: four sales, all in building X

Four of the nine fall inside the 12 months since October 2025: April 1, April 27, May 22 and June 23, 2026, at $2,450,000, $1,850,000, $1,750,000 and $1,150,000, all at 267 Barefoot Beach Boulevard. Their prices per square foot run from $717 to $1,223. The most recent evidence sits in one building, so a 265 or 269 offer leans on older sales.

Recorded price against the county’s just value

A just value is the county’s valuation for tax purposes, not an appraisal or a price. Each figure below is that home’s own 2026 preliminary roll value, and the ratio is the recorded price divided by it.

DateBuildingRecorded priceHome’s 2026 just valuePrice as a percent of just value
March 15, 2023265$2,160,000$1,562,030138.3

June 23, 2026267$1,150,000$1,279,04089.9

Seven of the nine prices were above the home’s just value and two were below, from 89.9 to 160.3 percent. The roll is a tax record, so do not offer from it. We use it to find the nearest like home, then we read the deed.

One home that sold twice

One Club III home at 265 Barefoot Beach Boulevard appears twice in the 60-month list: April 6, 2023 at $2,000,000 and February 12, 2025 at $2,600,000, which is $600,000 higher, about 30 percent, after 22 months. It is a single pair on a 1,726 square foot plan, and one pair is not a trend.

Recorded deeds that are not county-qualified

Over the same 60 months the county file holds nine more recorded Club III deeds over $100,000 that carry no qualified flag, with consideration from $191,400 to $4,250,000. We list them separately and never fold them into the qualified nine or average them.

June 4, 2024$4,250,000269 Barefoot Beach BlvdXII2,003 sq ftOR 6368 PG 2323

Five of these deeds are dated 2022 and four 2024, the two years of hurricane damage on this coast, and the file shows none dated 2023, 2025 or 2026. One reading is that the county disqualified sales of storm-changed property, but that reading is ours, because the file does not carry the reason. The two $4,250,000 deeds, both at penthouse level, are the largest recorded Club III consideration in the window and exceed every qualified sale. The two deeds on December 8, 2022 are for the same home, and we do not know why there are two.

How fast does Club III turn over?

Four qualified sales in the last 12 months across 92 homes is 4 / 92 = 4.3 percent of the homes in a year. Nine qualified sales across 60 months is 9 / 92 = 9.8 percent of the homes in five years, or about 2.0 percent a year. True turnover, which would count the not-qualified deeds, is higher, and this is an observation about nine deeds, not a forecast.

What the Southwest Florida MLS shows

The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled October 3, 2026, shows 4 Club III closings in the 12 months to that date, 10 in 36 months and 12 in 60 months. Across the 10 closings in the 36 months to October 3, 2026, the median closing price was $2,325,000, median days on market was 150, the median sale-to-list ratio was 89.5% of the final list price and MLS living area ran from 1,604 to 2,408 square feet. On October 3, 2026 there were 4 active listings, from $1,475,000 to $2,100,000, and none pending, which is 12 months of supply, an indicative figure on 4 closings a year. The pull carries the final list price only, so price changes are read listing by listing when we prepare an offer. Our team’s share of Club III transactions is 0 of 12 in 60 months: McGreevy and Comisar closed no sale at Barefoot Beach Club III through the Southwest Florida MLS in the 60 months to October 3, 2026, on either the listing or the buying side. These are MLS measures and not estimates from the county record, because the two are different measures.

Which Barefoot Beach Club III Condo Fits Which Buyer?

Barefoot Beach Club III holds 92 condos in three seven-level buildings: 265 and 267 Barefoot Beach Boulevard with 34 homes each, and 269 with 24, in five floor plans from 1,604 to 2,408 square feet by county base area. All three stand on the Gulf side of the boulevard, so the choice is building, plan and floor, not Gulf side against east side.

2,408 sq ft4$2,339,440$2,339,440$21,666

Floors and penthouses

The county’s roll steps its just value upward by floor inside a plan: the 1,604 square foot plan is valued at $1,119,040 on the second floor, $1,219,040 on the third, and then $20,000 more with each floor up to $1,279,040 on the sixth. The 1,726 square foot plan runs from $1,462,030 on the second floor to $1,622,030 on the sixth and $1,772,030 at penthouse level. The sales do not follow that ladder, and two of the lowest prices per square foot are on the fifth and sixth floors, so floor is one input among condition, view line, stack and storm repair.

Club III has twelve penthouse-level homes, four in each building. No home of 2,226 or 2,408 square feet appears in the 60-month qualified list. Two penthouse deeds at $4,250,000, one at 265 and one at 269, are recorded in the not-qualified list above.

Views: a claim we do not make, and a check you can

We do not state which Club III homes have Gulf, preserve or bay views, because no recorded document or county layer we read says so. Walk the floor you are buying on and look, because a stack’s view depends on its end, its floor and the adjoining building.

Who should look harder before buying

Look harder if you need a documented fee, because no dollar figure is published. Look harder if you plan to rent often, because leases are capped at three a year. Look harder if your lender will ask for the flood zone, because the layers disagree at one building. And look harder if you expect an assessment-free first year, because the Clerk’s records show repair notices in 2022, 2023 and 2024 and how that work is funded is not public.

What Will I Pay to Own a Barefoot Beach Club III Condo?

Owning a Barefoot Beach Club III condo means paying three layers of association charges, none with a published dollar figure: the Club III association, the Club umbrella at one three-hundred-forty-eighth per home, and, through the Club, the Master Association that keeps the boulevard and gate, plus property tax and insurance.

Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)

Layer one: the Club III condominium association

The association’s restated declaration, OR 4612 PG 3498, divides what the association maintains from what each owner maintains and sets how its assessments are shared among the 92 homes. The regular assessment, reserve schedule and any special assessment are not published.

Layer two: the Club umbrella

The Barefoot Beach Club Condominium Owners Association levies assessments apportioned one three-hundred-forty-eighth to each of the 348 Club homes, under sections 1.33 and 5.2 of the restated Club master declaration, OR 4612 PG 3203. It pays for the pools, clubhouse, landscaping, private streets and surface water system, plus a pro rata share of the boulevard. The amount per home is not published.

Layer three: the Master Association

The Barefoot Beach Master Association owns, maintains and controls the roughly 1.8 mile boulevard from Bonita Beach Road south to the entrance of the county preserve and provides the security, under its amended and restated bylaws, OR 4675 PG 2424. Club homes are 348 of its 716 doors, or 48.6 percent by door count (348 / 716). The per-door amount is not published, and a directory figure should not be relied on.

Approval, transfer and application charges

The restated Club master declaration allows a transfer fee, an estoppel fee and a background check, each limited to what the law permits. No dollar figure for a transfer fee, application fee, move-in deposit or capital contribution is published, so put each on your closing-cost list as “to be confirmed”, not as zero.

Special assessments: what a recorded search can and cannot show

We searched the Collier Clerk’s official records for any recorded special assessment instrument naming the Club associations from September 28, 2022 to October 1, 2026 and found none,. A special assessment is normally adopted by board or member vote and is not recorded, so an empty index does not show there is none. The estoppel certificate and the board minutes are the route.

The route to the real numbers

Ask the association’s manager for the current annual budget, the most recent financial report, the reserve schedule, the rules and an estoppel certificate before you are under contract. Listings in the Southwest Florida MLS on October 3, 2026 show a condominium fee of $5,500.00 to $5,919.19 a quarter across the 4 active Club III listings, as entered by the listing agents, and the listings do not agree with each other. The association budget and the estoppel certificate are the binding sources. Never import a fee from a listing, a directory or a neighbor.

What Should I Check in the Barefoot Beach Club III Condominium Documents?

A Barefoot Beach Club III buyer should read three recorded documents before offering, the Club III restated declaration at OR 4612 PG 3498, the restated Club master declaration at OR 4612 PG 3203 and the Master Association bylaws at OR 4675 PG 2424, and then request the Florida Statute 718.503 package, the estoppel certificate and the unrecorded rules.

What the law hands a condominium buyer

Florida Statute 718.503 entitles each buyer who has contracted to buy a condominium unit, at the seller’s expense, to a current copy of the declaration of condominium, the association’s articles of incorporation, its bylaws and rules, its annual financial statement and budget, the inspector-prepared summary of the milestone inspection report where one applies, the association’s most recent structural integrity reserve study or a statement that none has been completed, any turnover inspection report where one applies and the “Frequently Asked Questions and Answers” document.

The 7-day cancellation clause

A contract for the resale of a residential condominium unit must carry, in conspicuous type, either an acknowledgment that the buyer received the documents or a clause that makes the contract voidable by written notice within 7 days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, after the buyer signs and receives them. For contracts entered after December 31, 2024 the statute adds a parallel clause that runs the same 7 days from receipt of the milestone summary, the turnover report and the reserve study, where they apply. We calendar the seven days from the day the documents arrive in full.

The four requests every Club III buyer should make

Ask in writing, before you are under contract or on contract day, for four things: the current annual budget and the most recent financial statement, the estoppel certificate showing every amount owed and any pending assessment, the current rules and regulations, and the milestone inspection summary and structural integrity reserve study if the association has them. The contract controls who orders and who pays.

Which sections of the declarations bind a buyer most

  • Approval of a sale: section 9 of the restated Club master declaration.
  • Leasing: section 8, three leases a year, 30 days minimum, board approval.
  • Pets: section 6.14, an aggregate 45 pounds, with registration.
  • Assessments: sections 1.33 and 5.2, one three-hundred-forty-eighth per home.
  • Parking and storage: section 8.3.5, one assigned roofed space and a storage unit per home.

Things the recorded documents do not tell you

The recorded documents do not publish a renovation approval process, flooring and sound rules, shutter standards or balcony rules, because the Rules and Regulations are held by the association. We found no website for the Club III association itself, although the umbrella’s community site carries request forms. A condominium association must issue an estoppel certificate within 10 business days under Florida Statute 718.116, and owners have records-inspection rights under Florida Statute 718.111.

What Do the Milestone Inspection and Reserve Study Rules Mean for a Barefoot Beach Club III Buyer?

Florida’s milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study rules apply to condominium buildings of three or more habitable stories, and Barefoot Beach Club III’s three seven-level buildings, dated 1992 on the county roll, reached 30 years in 2022. The deadlines below are our computation from that roll year, not a finding about any building.

The statute and the date logic

Florida Statute 553.899 requires a milestone inspection by December 31 of the year a building reaches 30 years of age, measured from its certificate of occupancy, and every 10 years after. A building that reached 30 before July 1, 2022 owed its first inspection by December 31, 2024, and one that reached 30 from July 1, 2022 on owed it by December 31, 2025. Club III’s certificate of occupancy months are not public, so the statutory deadline for each building is December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2025. Under Florida Statute 718.112, the structural integrity reserve study was due by December 31, 2025, with December 31, 2026 as the outer limit when it is done together with a milestone inspection.

What these dates do and do not tell you

They tell you the legal clock. They do not tell you whether a building has been inspected, what an inspection found or whether a study has been completed. We obtained no milestone inspection report or reserve study and we state no building’s status. The state’s reporting database could not be read by our tools, so we assert neither compliance nor non-compliance.

What to request

Ask the association, in writing, for the milestone inspection summary, the structural integrity reserve study, the reserve schedule and any board minutes that discuss either one. Florida Statute 718.503 entitles a buyer under contract, at the seller’s expense, to the milestone summary where one applies and to the most recent study or a statement that none has been completed.

What Are the Rules on Leasing, Pets and Approvals at Barefoot Beach Club III?

At Barefoot Beach Club III the restated Club master declaration allows a written lease of 30 days to one year, no more than three leases a year, with board approval within 15 days. It allows dogs, cats and birds up to an aggregate 45 pounds, with registration, and it requires board approval of a sale within 10 business days.

Board approval of a purchase

Under section 9 of the restated Club master declaration, a transfer needs board approval, the board must act within 10 business days and it may disapprove only for the good cause the declaration lists. A transfer fee up to the legal maximum and an estoppel fee may apply. Whether the board interviews buyers is not recorded, so ask.

Leasing: three a year, 30 days minimum

Section 8 requires a written lease of at least 30 consecutive days or one calendar month and no more than one year, no more than three leases a year, board approval within 15 days, consent to a background check and a transfer fee per applicant no greater than the legal maximum. Room rentals and subleasing are barred. We did not find a stricter Club III leasing rule, so confirm with the association.

The county’s short-term rental registration

Collier County Ordinance 2021-45, in force since January 3, 2022, requires owners to register short-term vacation rentals, which the county describes as rentals under 30 days more than three times a year, on its short-term vacation rental page, with fines of up to $500 per violation per day. The registration is a county backstop and not a route around the declaration, so Barefoot Beach Club III cannot run as a nightly vacation rental.

Pets: 45 pounds in aggregate

Section 6.14 of the master declaration allows dogs, cats and birds up to an aggregate weight of 45 pounds, requires registration and bars pets from the beach. Club I’s own declaration is stricter, at 20 pounds, and we found no stricter figure in Club III’s, so confirm the current rule before you buy. Ask whether the 45 pounds counts one animal or all of them.

Assistance animals and the beach

Federal and Florida fair housing law treats assistance animals differently from pets, and an association handles a request through its reasonable accommodation process, so ask the manager for that process. The master declaration bars pets from the beach, and Collier County’s Barefoot Beach Preserve allows no dogs at all according to the county’s preserve page, so a dog owner at Club III has the boulevard and the grounds, not the sand.

Is Barefoot Beach Club III in a Flood Zone, and What Will Insurance Cost?

Every Barefoot Beach Club III building sits in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, in our reading of the public map layers: the county address points read AE 11 feet at 265 and 269 and VE 12 feet at 267, and the AE and VE lines cross all three footprints. We publish no premium, because a premium depends on the home, the carrier and the year.

Data updated: October 2026 (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer and Collier County layers, queried October 1, 2026)

What we queried and when

On October 1, 2026 we queried FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer at the Collier County address point for each building, intersected the county’s 2025 building footprints with the flood zone polygons, and read the panel, the limit of moderate wave action, the Coastal Barrier Resources System and the evacuation zone from public services. All three buildings fall on FIRM panel 12021C0179J, effective February 8, 2024, which is the Collier County countywide map. The effective FIRM panel and an elevation certificate govern, not our reading.

Our reading, building by building

AddressZone and base flood elevation at the county address pointShare of the building footprint by zone (our reading of the public map layers)Position against the limit of moderate wave action (our reading of the public map layers)
265 Barefoot Beach Blvd (VIII)AE, 11 ft NAVD88AE 11 ft 81 percent; VE 12 ft 19 percentSeaward of the line, about 219 m away
267 Barefoot Beach Blvd (X)VE, 12 ft NAVD88AE 11 ft 55 percent; VE 12 ft 45 percentSeaward of the line, about 279 m away
269 Barefoot Beach Blvd (XII)AE, 11 ft NAVD88AE 11 ft 84 percent; VE 12 ft 16 percentSeaward of the line, about 306 m away

The Club III land parcel, which all 92 homes share, overlaps VE 13 ft over 41 percent, AE 11 ft over 31 percent, VE 12 ft over 15 percent, VE 15 ft over 11 percent, VE 16 ft over 3 percent and AE 10 ft over 1 percent, in our reading of the public map layers, and those shares depend on how the county drew balconies and overhangs.

Elevation certificates: who has one

Collier County keeps an elevation certificate index as a public map layer. For Club buildings the layer holds certificates for 253, 260, 262, 263 and 266 Barefoot Beach Boulevard, and none for 265, 267 or 269. A certificate for your building may exist outside the county layer, so ask the association. If none exists, a Florida surveyor can issue one, and the county’s Flood Info line at (239) 252-2942 or can say what the county holds, as the county’s floodplain management page describes.

The preliminary map now open for comment

FEMA issued preliminary Collier County flood maps on March 20, 2025, and the county’s August 19, 2026 news release says a 90-day comment period began that day, which by our arithmetic runs to about November 17, 2026. The preliminary layer re-issues the panel that covers Club III, but at every address we tested the zone and base flood elevation are unchanged. View the maps in FEMA’s Map Service Center.

Coastal Barrier Resources and evacuation

No Club III building is inside a Coastal Barrier Resources System unit or an Otherwise Protected Area, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service layers we queried at each address through the CBRS mapper service, so the Coastal Barrier Resources Act does not bar federal flood insurance for these buildings. Club III is in Collier County evacuation Zone A, according to the county’s layer, and residents follow Collier County orders even though the only road out leads north toward Bonita Beach Road. Look up your own zone in the county’s evacuation zone lookup.

What Hurricane Ian, Helene and Milton left in the public record

The U.S. Geological Survey surveyed a high-water mark of 11.76 feet NAVD88 at Barefoot Beach Boulevard and Anguilla Lane, at the community’s north end and not at Club III, and the National Hurricane Center’s report on Hurricane Ian put maximum inundation at 8 to 12 feet above ground in the Bonita Beach and North Naples area. After Hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection rated Barefoot Beach dune erosion Condition IV, its worst class, in its post-storm impact report. We found no building-level damage statement for Club III in any recorded or government document, and we do not make one.

Who insures what

The association’s master policy insures the building as originally installed, and you insure your interior, contents and personal liability with a unit-owner policy, as Florida Statute 718.111 and Florida Statute 627.714 set out, and the latter also addresses loss assessment coverage. Flood insurance is separate from both, and the National Flood Insurance Program’s consumer site is FloodSmart. Carrier, limits and deductibles on the master are not published, so ask the manager for the insurance summary.

Citizens, the control line and the 50 percent rule

For Citizens Property Insurance, a major structure built or enlarged by more than 25 percent under a permit applied for after July 1, 2015 is ineligible if it is seaward of the coastal construction control line, under Florida Statute 627.351. In our reading of the public map layers, Florida’s 1989 control line sits landward of all three Club III buildings, and the buildings date to 1992, so the rule matters only if a building is enlarged. The same statute says a policyholder is not required to buy flood coverage as a condition of keeping a Citizens condominium unit-owners policy, while Citizens does require it on a personal-lines policy in a Special Flood Hazard Area that is not a unit-owners form. Collier County’s floodplain ordinance defines substantial improvement as work costing 50 percent or more of a building’s market value, and a building that trips it must be brought to current standards. Unincorporated Collier County has a Class 5 Community Rating System rating with a 25 percent discount on eligible National Flood Insurance Program policies, per the county’s flood protection newsletter, and the discount does not apply to private flood policies. Confirm each point with an insurance agent.

What will it cost?

We publish no premium figure, because no source we cite gives a Club III premium. The route is a quote for your exact building and floor from a licensed Florida insurance agent, a separate flood quote and the association’s insurance summary, and those three numbers beside the property tax are the real annual cost of owning.

What Do the Permits Show Since Hurricane Ian at Barefoot Beach Club III?

The public record since Hurricane Ian shows Notices of Commencement recorded for Club III concrete repairs and door replacement in December 2022, skylights in October 2023 and doors again in August 2024, and a flood non-conversion agreement recorded February 2, 2024. The record shows work contracted, not its cost, its funding or any building’s damage.

What we checked and what we did not

Collier County issues building permits for Club III, and the Collier Clerk’s records show the association’s Notices of Commencement, which are filed before permitted work starts. We read the notices’ dates and scope in the Clerk’s index, but not permit files line by line or any invoice.

The flood non-conversion agreement

On February 2, 2024, a Collier County Declaration of Land Restriction, Non-Conversion Agreement was recorded for Club III at OR 6326 PG 2521, under a county permit it names. It limits the enclosed areas below the elevated buildings to parking, storage and access, which is the county’s standard condition for floodplain permits. Read it before you plan to enclose or finish any ground-level space.

The permit and claim file to ask the seller for

  • Storm repairs: invoices, permits, the insurance claim outcome and any flood claim, because Florida Statute 689.302 asks the seller about flood damage, claims and assistance.
  • Unit work: permits for any renovation, window or door replacement and the association’s approval.
  • Association work: the scope, the cost and the funding of each recorded repair project, and whether an assessment paid for it.
  • Sea turtle lighting: whether balcony lighting complies, since Collier County’s Land Development Code section 3.04.02 requires lights within 300 feet of mean high water to be turned off after 9 p.m. from May 1 to October 31 or shielded. We did not measure the distance from the Club III buildings to mean high water.

Can I Finance a Barefoot Beach Club III Condo?

A buyer can finance a Barefoot Beach Club III condo, and the lender will review the association as well as the buyer: its budget, reserves, insurance, assessments, litigation and the flood determination. Because no association dollar figures are published, we ask for the lender’s condominium questionnaire and the estoppel certificate in the first week of the contract. We name no lender.

What a lender’s condominium questionnaire asks

Lenders differ, but a condominium questionnaire generally asks for the following, and the manager usually answers it.

  • Budget and reserves: the current budget, how much is set aside and whether any reserve study has been done.
  • Assessments: the regular amount, any special assessment adopted or pending and how many owners are delinquent.
  • Insurance: the master policy coverage, the wind and flood deductibles and who the carrier is.
  • Ownership mix: how many homes are owner-occupied, second homes or leased. The county’s homestead count is a tax proxy, not an occupancy count.
  • Legal and structural: pending litigation, the milestone inspection summary where one applies and the structural integrity reserve study or a statement that none has been completed.

What else the file needs

  • A flood determination and flood insurance, because every Club III building sits in a Special Flood Hazard Area in our reading of the public map layers, and a federally regulated lender must require coverage there.
  • An appraisal. With nine qualified sales in five years, an appraiser will reach for the nearest like home, and the plan, floor and condition adjustments are large.
  • Board approval, which the association must give within 10 business days of the application.

Cash buyers

A cash buyer skips the appraisal and the questionnaire, but not the board: the same 10 business days for approval and for the estoppel certificate set the calendar. A cash offer is stronger on certainty than on speed here.

What Will My Property Taxes and Closing Costs Be on a Barefoot Beach Club III Condo?

A Club III buyer should budget about $10,812 a year in property tax on a condo that is valued at the most recent recorded 267 price of $1,150,000, before exemptions, plus one-time closing costs. Florida’s deed tax on that sale is $8,050, which Collier County custom assigns to the seller, while the buyer customarily pays the owner’s title policy.

Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)

Property tax: a worked example

The county’s 2026 preliminary millage on every Club III parcel is 9.4020 mills, made of the county at 3.9293, the school board at 4.1470 and other taxing units at 1.3257, with no municipal levy. Check: 3.9293 + 4.1470 + 1.3257 = 9.4020.

Take the most recent recorded sale at 267 Barefoot Beach Boulevard, $1,150,000 on June 23, 2026. As an illustration for a non-homestead purchase at that value, before exemptions and non-ad valorem charges: $1,150,000 divided by 1,000 is 1,150, and 1,150 times 9.4020 is $10,812.30, about $10,812. At the April 1, 2026 price of $2,450,000 the same arithmetic gives 2,450 times 9.4020, or $23,034.90, about $23,035. These are illustrations, not bills. The roll’s median just value for the 92 homes, $1,622,030, gives $1,622,030 / 1,000 x 9.4020 = $15,250 on the same basis, and the roll’s actual median 2026 preliminary tax bill, the median of the 92 homes with a bill above zero, is $14,258, from a low of $3,302 to a high of $21,995. The actual figure is lower because assessed value can sit below just value and 17 parcels carry a homestead exemption.

What changes after you buy

Florida resets the assessment after a sale. For property assessed under the homestead cap, section 193.155 says it is assessed at just value as of January 1 of the year following a change of ownership, and section 193.1554 resets the non-homestead residential cap in the same way. So a seller’s bill is not a forecast of yours. The condo that sold at 267 on June 23, 2026 for $1,150,000 carries a 2026 preliminary just value of $1,279,040 and a preliminary bill of $12,026, and if the county’s valuation moved to the recorded price the same 9.4020 mills would produce $10,812. That is arithmetic, not a forecast, because the county sets its own valuation after a sale.

A full-time resident should file for the homestead exemption under section 196.031, explained on the Department of Revenue’s exemptions page. Ask the seller for the disclosure that section 689.261 calls for.

Who customarily pays what in Collier County

In Collier County the buyer customarily pays the owner’s title policy and chooses the closing agent, and the seller customarily pays the documentary stamp tax on the deed, which is 70 cents per $100 of consideration under Florida Statute 201.02. The purchase contract controls, so any of these can be negotiated.

A worked closing on the most recent recorded 267 price

Closing item on a $1,150,000 purchaseArithmeticWho customarily paysAmount
Deed documentary stamps11,500 times $0.70Seller$8,050

Association transfer fee and applicationNot published; legal maximum onlyPer contractConfirm in writing
Estoppel certificateCapped by statute; no dollar figure herePer contractConfirm with the manager

The two state mortgage taxes come from Florida Statute 201.08, 35 cents on each $100 of the debt, and Florida Statute 199.133, 2 mills on each dollar of the debt, so $3,220 plus $1,840 is $5,060 on this example. The same arithmetic at the April 1, 2026 price of $2,450,000 gives deed stamps of $17,150 (24,500 times $0.70), and on an 80 percent loan of $1,960,000 it gives $6,860 and $3,920, or $10,780. These illustrate the statutes and are not a quote: a real closing statement also carries recording fees, lender charges, inspections and prorations.

How Does Buyer Representation Work in Florida After the NAR Settlement?

Since the National Association of Realtors settlement changes took effect on August 17, 2024, offers of compensation can no longer be published on an MLS, and a buyer and a buyer’s agent working together need a written agreement before touring a home. Compensation is set by agreement and is fully negotiable, not set by law or by the seller’s listing.

What the settlement changed

The National Association of Realtors’ settlement FAQs describe the practice change: offers of compensation can no longer be made on the MLS, a participant working with a buyer must have a written agreement with the buyer before the buyer tours a home, and the agreement must state that compensation is not set by law and is fully negotiable. The association’s Written Buyer Agreements 101 page explains the agreement itself. A buyer may ask a seller to pay the buyer’s agent as a term of the offer. This page does not replace the source.

What it means for a Club III buyer

At Club III prices an agent’s compensation is a meaningful number, so any agent should tell you in writing, before touring, how the agent is paid, by whom and what you owe if the seller does not pay. We put ours in the written buyer agreement before we tour with you, and you should ask any agent the same. Our buyer representation page explains how we represent buyers.

Questions to ask any buyer’s agent

  • How are you paid, and what happens if the seller offers less than the agreement states?
  • How long does the agreement last, and can I end it?
  • Have you read the recorded declarations for the building I want, or only the listing?

Which Schools Serve Barefoot Beach Club III?

Collier County Public Schools’ attendance locator lists Naples Park Elementary, North Naples Middle School and Aubrey Rogers High School for Barefoot Beach addresses in the 2026-27 school year, and the state publishes each school’s grade. Boundaries change, so confirm by your exact address in the district’s locator before you offer.

How to check your address

Use the district’s attendance zone locator, which shows the zoned elementary, middle and high schools by street address for the 2026-27 year, and the district’s bus page for transportation eligibility. The Bonita Springs mailing address does not place a home in Lee County schools, because the home is in Collier County.

What the locator returned

Distances by road from the Club are about 8 to 9 miles to each school, by our estimate from an online router. Charter and private options exist, and the district lists its charter schools.

What Is Daily Life Like at Barefoot Beach Club III?

Daily life at Barefoot Beach Club III runs through one gated road: Barefoot Beach Boulevard leads about 1.8 miles from Bonita Beach Road south to the county preserve, with no through street. Owners share the Club’s pools and clubhouse, the Master Association staffs the gate around the clock, and services lie east along Bonita Beach Road.

The gate and the boulevard

The gate sits where Barefoot Beach Boulevard meets Bonita Beach Road, about 0.9 mile and 3 to 4 minutes from the Club, by our estimate, and the Master Association staffs it around the clock. Its procedure for guests and vendors is not in any document we read, so ask the Master’s manager before a move or delivery. Distances on this page are road estimates from the Club’s 260 Barefoot Beach Boulevard point, a little north of Club III.

Amenities in three tiers

Inside the three buildings, the records confirm elevators, one assigned roofed parking space and a storage unit per home, and do not confirm a fitness room, lobby or guest suites. At the Club level, the umbrella association owns the pools, recreation facilities, clubhouse and grounds, and the Club’s community site describes two pools, a clubhouse and a gym, which is the Club’s own marketing text and not a recorded list. We do not describe pool hours or events.

The private beach and tennis club is separate

The Club at Barefoot Beach on Shell Drive is a separate private, member-owned beach and tennis club with a stated capacity of 425, and its own site says it is not accepting waitlist applications as of June 1, 2026. Its membership is not conveyed with any Club III deed. The Barefoot Boat Club, a separate boat-storage condominium outside the gate, is not part of Club III either. Ask any seller in writing whether a membership or boat unit is offered and whether it transfers.

The beach and the preserve

The county’s two public beach points are Barefoot Beach Access, 20 feet off Bonita Beach Road, and the Barefoot Beach Preserve about 1.5 miles south, each with its own pay-to-park lot. The preserve is 342 acres of state land leased to Collier County for fifty years from 1990, according to a Florida Attorney General opinion, open 8 a.m. to sunset with pay-to-park and no dogs. We found no recorded Club III document that creates a private beach, and Florida law sets the public’s rights below the mean high-water line.

Emergency services, shopping and the airport

North Collier Fire Control and Rescue District Station 43 on Vanderbilt Drive serves Barefoot Beach, about 4.7 miles and 12 minutes from the Club, by our estimate. The nearest emergency room is the NCH Emergency Department Bonita on South Tamiami Trail, about 7.6 miles and 15 minutes away. A Publix with a pharmacy on Bonita Beach Road is about 3.1 miles away, US 41 about 3.2 miles, I-75 exit 116 about 6.7 miles and Southwest Florida International Airport about 22 miles and 33 minutes.

Barefoot Beach Club III vs Barefoot Beach Club I: Which Condo Should You Buy?

Barefoot Beach Club III (265, 267 and 269 Barefoot Beach Boulevard, 92 homes, dated 1992) and Barefoot Beach Club I (253, 255 and 257, 82 homes, dated 1991) are the two all-Gulf-side condominiums of the Club, at opposite ends of the Gulf-side row, with the same umbrella association and gate but different flood readings, pet limits and sales activity.

Eight and nine county-qualified sales are too few for a median, so we show ranges. Club III’s median just value is 8.5 percent below Club I’s ($1,622,030 / $1,772,030 = 0.915). Club I’s sales are on our Barefoot Beach Club I guide.

How far down the boulevard you want to live

By the county’s address points, 265 Barefoot Beach Boulevard sits about 0.36 mile south of 253, and 269 about 0.46 mile, by our calculation from the point coordinates. That puts Club III a short walk farther from the gate and closer to the preserve.

How Does Barefoot Beach Club III Compare With the Rest of Barefoot Beach?

Barefoot Beach Club III’s 2026 median just value of $1,622,030 sits above the Villas at Barefoot Beach, Club II and Club IV and below Club I, Southport on the Bay, Barefoot Bay, Bayfront Gardens and the Cottages. The table puts it beside its neighbors on homes, sales windows and county values, each row with its own window.

Every count and median is a county-qualified record from files dated August 29, 2026, windowed back from October 1, 2026, and not MLS data. A median appears only where a window holds 10 or more qualified sales.

What the comparison means for a buyer

Club III falls one sale short of the count at which we would show a median. Single-family communities on the bay side show far higher values and sit under chapter 720 homeowners’ associations, not chapter 718. If layered condominium costs and flood readings are more than you want, our Villas at Barefoot Beach guide covers fee-simple, party-wall villas, and our Southport on the Bay guide covers a bay-side single-family community. The Club’s other condominiums are on our Barefoot Beach Club II and Barefoot Beach Club IV guides, and the whole Club is on our Barefoot Beach Club guide and Barefoot Beach Club buyer page. Our Barefoot Beach buyer page lays out every product, and the Barefoot Beach hub ties them together.

What Are the Pros and Cons of Buying a Condo at Barefoot Beach Club III?

Buying a condo at Barefoot Beach Club III offers a Gulf-side address on a private gated boulevard, a quieter southern end of the Club campus and roomy plans of 1,604 to 2,408 square feet, and it asks you to accept three layers of undisclosed charges, a mixed flood reading, a 1992 building and the milestone and reserve questions every 30-year building raises.

What we like

  • A Gulf-side location on a private, gated boulevard that ends at a county preserve, with no through traffic.
  • Roomy plans, from 1,604 to 2,408 square feet.
  • Four county-qualified sales in the last 12 months, some turnover for a 92-home condominium.

What gives us pause

  • No published dollar figure for any of the three association layers, so every buyer must ask.
  • A mixed flood reading, VE 12 feet at the 267 address point and VE shares of 16 to 45 percent across the three footprints, in our reading of the public map layers.
  • A 1992 building, with milestone and reserve study questions to resolve and recorded repair work since Hurricane Ian whose funding is not public.
  • A 30-day lease minimum and a three-lease cap, which narrow the investor pool.
  • Distance from services: Bonita Beach Road is the only way out, and a hospital is about 15 minutes away.

How to weigh it

If you will read the estoppel, the budget and the reserve study and get a flood quote on your address, Club III can suit you. If you want a published fee and a clean flood answer on day one, it will not.

How Do I See Barefoot Beach Club III Condos for Sale?

To see Barefoot Beach Club III condos for sale, tell us your budget and timing, and we watch the Southwest Florida MLS for the 92 homes and send each match with its recorded sales, flood data and documents to request. With 92 homes and about two qualified sales a year on average, a saved search matters more than a browse.

Listing alerts and the current MLS read

The Southwest Florida MLS showed 4 active Club III listings on October 3, 2026, at $1,475,000, $1,495,000, $1,800,000 and $2,100,000, and none pending. Against 4 closings in the 12 months to that date, that is 12 months of supply, an indicative figure on so few sales. To browse current listings, use the team’s search at Domain Realty Group, the full-service Southwest Florida team that McGreevy and Comisar lead. If you see a Club III address, send it to us and we will pull the county record and the documents before you tour.

Buying a Winter Home at Barefoot Beach Club III: What Seasonal Buyers Should Know

A seasonal owner at Barefoot Beach Club III leaves a Gulf-side condo empty for months, so plan the storm routine, a caretaker, the insurance, the leasing rules and the association paperwork before you leave, because the board must approve any lease and Barefoot Beach lies in a coastal evacuation area.

What the county record says about timing

Seven of the nine qualified sales in 60 months closed between February and June and two in July, with none from August through January. That fits a winter and spring season on this coast, but nine sales are too few to promise a pattern, and we have no MLS month-by-month data to show.

Before you leave for the summer

Ask the association whether it expects a caretaker, shutter installation or a key holder, and who handles an emergency in your stack. Lease only within the three-lease cap, and remember that sea turtle nesting runs May 1 through October 31, when balcony lighting rules apply.

Storms and closing from out of state

Collier County orders evacuation by zone, and Club III is in Zone A, so a warning can reach an empty condo before you can. Florida title companies routinely close with remote online notarization or mail-away signing, and you should confirm wire instructions by phone, never from an email alone. Foreign buyers should ask a cross-border tax adviser about IRS withholding on a future sale.

Frequently Asked Questions, Barefoot Beach Club III Buyer Edition

These are the questions Barefoot Beach Club III buyers ask most, answered from the records cited above. Where a fact is not published, we say so and name the document that settles it.

What is Barefoot Beach Club III?

It is a 92-home condominium of three seven-level Gulf-side buildings at 265, 267 and 269 Barefoot Beach Boulevard, one of four condominium associations in Barefoot Beach Club, in unincorporated Collier County. The county dates all 92 homes to 1992.

Which Florida law governs a Club III purchase?

Club III is a condominium under chapter 718, so Florida Statute 718.503 governs the document package and the 7-day cancellation clause, and Florida Statute 718.116 governs the estoppel certificate. The chapter 720 homeowners’ association summary does not apply.

Is Barefoot Beach Club III in Naples or Bonita Springs?

Neither city. It is in unincorporated Collier County with a Bonita Springs, Florida 34134 mailing address, so Collier County taxes apply, at a 2026 preliminary millage of 9.4020 mills with no municipal levy.

How much do condos at Barefoot Beach Club III sell for?

The county recorded 9 qualified sales in 60 months from $1,150,000 to $2,600,000, and 4 in the last 12 months from $1,150,000 to $2,450,000. The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled October 3, 2026, shows 12 closings in the 60 months to that date from $1,150,000 to $4,600,000, and 4 in the last 12 months from $1,150,000 to $2,450,000, with a median of $2,325,000 across the 10 closings in the 36 months to October 3, 2026. The two sources count differently.

What have the four most recent Club III sales been?

April 1, April 27, May 22 and June 23, 2026, all at 267 Barefoot Beach Boulevard: $2,450,000, $1,850,000, $1,750,000 and $1,150,000. They are county-qualified deeds, not MLS closings, and they differ by plan and floor.

How many Barefoot Beach Club III condos are for sale right now?

Four, as of October 3, 2026. The Southwest Florida MLS showed 4 active Club III listings that day, from $1,475,000 to $2,100,000, and none pending. The county shows four qualified sales in the last 12 months across 92 homes. Call Marc for a live pull on request.

How long do condos at Barefoot Beach Club III take to sell?

The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled October 3, 2026, shows a median of 150 days on market across the 10 Club III closings in the 36 months to that date, and the 4 closings in the last 12 months took 98 to 170 days. The county record carries no listing dates, so it cannot answer.

What are the association fees at Barefoot Beach Club III?

No dollar amount is published in any recorded document or public page we could read. Owners fund the Club III association, the Club umbrella at one three-hundred-forty-eighth per home and, through the Club, the Master Association. Ask for the budget and an estoppel certificate.

Has Barefoot Beach Club III levied a special assessment?

We found no recorded special assessment instrument naming the Club associations from September 28, 2022 to October 1, 2026, but assessments are normally adopted by vote and not recorded, so that proves nothing either way. The estoppel certificate shows any assessment adopted or pending.

Is there a transfer fee or application fee when I buy?

The Club master declaration allows a transfer fee, an estoppel fee and a background check, each limited to what the law permits, but no dollar figure is published. Ask the manager for each in writing.

How long does board approval take?

The restated Club master declaration, OR 4612 PG 3203, requires board action on a transfer within 10 business days and allows disapproval only for the good causes it lists. Whether the board interviews buyers is not recorded, so ask.

What is an estoppel certificate?

It is the association’s written statement of what is owed on a home, including any special assessment and any transfer or approval requirement. It is due within 10 business days of a request, and the fee is capped by statute.

What documents must the seller give me, and can I cancel?

Under Florida Statute 718.503 you are entitled, at the seller’s expense, to the declaration, articles, bylaws, rules, budget, financial statement and more. The contract must let you cancel within 7 days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, after you sign and receive them.

Can I rent out a condo at Barefoot Beach Club III?

Yes, within limits: a written lease of 30 days to one year, at most three leases a year, board approval within 15 days, no room rentals and no subleasing. Nightly rentals are not allowed under those terms.

Are pets allowed at Barefoot Beach Club III?

Yes. The master declaration allows dogs, cats and birds up to an aggregate 45 pounds, requires registration and bars pets from the beach. Club I’s declaration is stricter, at 20 pounds, and we found no stricter Club III figure.

Is Barefoot Beach Club III in a FEMA flood zone?

In our reading of the public map layers, yes: AE 11 feet at the 265 and 269 address points and VE 12 feet at 267, on FIRM panel 12021C0179J effective February 8, 2024, with both zones crossing all three footprints. The panel and an elevation certificate govern.

Do I need flood insurance at Barefoot Beach Club III?

A lender will require flood coverage on a federally backed mortgage in a Special Flood Hazard Area, and a cash buyer should still price it. Get a flood quote by building address before you offer.

Did Barefoot Beach Club III flood in Hurricane Ian?

We found no building-level damage statement for Club III in any recorded or government document, and we make none. The record shows repair notices from December 2022 to August 2024 and severe dune erosion after Helene and Milton.

How much is insurance at Barefoot Beach Club III?

We publish no premium, because a premium depends on the home and the year and none is published for Club III. Get a unit-owner quote and a separate flood quote, and ask the manager for the master policy summary.

Has Club III completed its milestone inspection and reserve study?

We obtained no report and state no building’s status. The statutory deadlines, computed from the 1992 roll year, are December 31, 2024 or 2025 for the inspection and December 31, 2025 for the study, with an outer limit of December 31, 2026.

Are the Club III reserves fully funded?

Not published. The reserve schedule and any study are association records, so request them under Florida Statute 718.503 before you are under contract.

Can I buy a Club III condo with a mortgage?

Yes. The lender will review the association’s budget, reserves, insurance and litigation through a condominium questionnaire, plus a flood determination and an appraisal. We name no lender and quote no rate.

What will my closing costs be on a Club III condo?

On the June 23, 2026 recorded price of $1,150,000, deed stamps are $8,050, customarily paid by the seller, and on an 80 percent loan the buyer’s mortgage stamps and intangible tax are $3,220 and $1,840. Title, transfer and estoppel charges are separate.

Who pays the deed tax and the title policy in Collier County?

The custom is that the seller pays the deed stamps, $0.70 per $100, and the buyer pays the owner’s title policy and chooses the closing agent. It is a custom, and the contract controls.

What are the property taxes at Barefoot Beach Club III?

The roll’s median 2026 preliminary bill is $14,258, from $3,302 to $21,995. At the 267 price of $1,150,000 the non-homestead arithmetic is $1,150,000 x 9.4020 / 1,000 = $10,812. A bill is not a prediction for your home.

Which Club III condos face the Gulf, the bay or the preserve?

All three buildings stand on the Gulf side of the boulevard, with the preserve at the south end. We do not state which homes have which view because no record says so, so visit the floor and stack you are considering.

Is the beach at Barefoot Beach Club III private?

We found no recorded Club III document that creates a private beach, and Florida law sets the public’s rights below the mean high-water line. The county runs Barefoot Beach Access and the Preserve as public points.

Is membership in The Club at Barefoot Beach required?

No. It is a separate private beach and tennis club with a stated capacity of 425, and its site says it is not accepting waitlist applications as of June 1, 2026. Membership is not conveyed with a Club III deed.

Is Barefoot Beach Club III gated?

Yes. The Master Association owns the boulevard and staffs the gate around the clock. How guests, vendors and contractors are admitted is not in any document we read, so ask the Master’s manager.

What schools serve Barefoot Beach Club III?

Naples Park Elementary, North Naples Middle School and Aubrey Rogers High School per the district locator for 2026-27. Confirm by your exact address, because boundaries change.

Do I need a written agreement with a buyer’s agent?

Yes. Since August 17, 2024, a buyer and a buyer’s agent working together need a written agreement before touring, and it must state that compensation is not set by law and is fully negotiable.

Who pays my buyer’s agent?

Your written agreement sets it, and it is negotiable. A buyer may ask the seller to pay as a term of the offer, but offers of compensation can no longer be published on the MLS.

What should I ask before I make an offer on a Club III condo?

Ask for the budget, financial statement, estoppel certificate, rules, milestone summary and reserve study, insurance summary, pending assessments and permit history, and ask how long board approval takes.

Who is the best buyer’s agent for Barefoot Beach Club III?

We think we are, and we show our work on this page. McGreevy and Comisar lead Domain Realty Group, the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873.

How do I start buying a condo at Barefoot Beach Club III?

Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 or use the consultation form on this page. Tell us your budget, timing and any pet or leasing needs, and we will send the condos that fit and the documents to request.

Why Does a Barefoot Beach Specialist Matter When You Buy a Condo?

A Barefoot Beach specialist matters on a condo purchase because the price is the smaller part of the decision: documents, board approval, flood insurance and a record of nine sales decide whether the deal closes well. McGreevy and Comisar, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, read the county’s sales and the recorded declarations before we show you a home.

We tracked every one of the 9 county-qualified Club III sales in the last 60 months and the nine unqualified deeds beside them. Sellers can read how we sell Barefoot Beach Club III condos or request a free Barefoot Beach Club III valuation. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

What Could We Not Verify About Barefoot Beach Club III Before You Buy?

We could not verify the Club III association’s assessments, budget, reserves, rules and regulations, minutes, insurance or manager, because none is published. Southwest Florida MLS figures on this page were pulled October 3, 2026. Each item below names the document or route that answers it.

  • Southwest Florida MLS figures: pulled October 3, 2026 and stated above: 4 closings in the 12 months to that date and 10 in 36 months, median days on market of 150, a median sale-to-list ratio of 89.5% of the final list price, 4 active listings, 12 months of supply (indicative) and MLS living area of 1,604 to 2,408 square feet. Our own Club III closings are zero: McGreevy and Comisar closed no sale at Barefoot Beach Club III through the Southwest Florida MLS in the 60 months to October 3, 2026, on either the listing or the buying side. What still needs a document is the fee, which the association budget and the estoppel certificate settle, not a listing.
  • Fee dollar amounts: the budget and the estoppel certificate from the association manager.
  • Rules and Regulations: the association, on request.
  • Management company: the estoppel certificate, because state records disagree on its address.
  • Insurance: the manager’s insurance summary and your own quotes.
  • Milestone inspection and reserve study status: the seller’s statutory package and the state’s reporting page. We state no building’s status.
  • Elevation certificates for 265, 267 and 269: the association or a Florida surveyor.
  • Gate procedure, parking rules, trash days and utility providers: the association manager.
  • The text of Club III’s own beach easement: the Clerk’s records, instrument OR 6248 PG 1117, which we did not read.
  • Why the county did not code nine deeds as qualified: the Collier County Property Appraiser.
