Caloosa Yacht & Racquet Club is one of Fort Myers' most distinctive gated waterfront communities, offering an exceptional blend of boating, tennis, luxury living, and Old Florida charm. Nestled along the Caloosahatchee River just off the McGregor Boulevard corridor, this intimate riverfront community features only approximately 121 residences consisting of single-family homes, villas, and low-rise condominiums. Its private marina, mature tropical landscaping, and relaxed coastal atmosphere have made Caloosa Yacht & Racquet Club one of Southwest Florida's hidden gems for boating enthusiasts and waterfront buyers.
Conveniently located where College Parkway meets McGregor Boulevard, Caloosa Yacht & Racquet Club provides outstanding access to every major Southwest Florida destination. Residents are less than 20 minutes from Fort Myers Beach, the Sanibel Causeway, and Downtown Fort Myers' River District, while Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), Gulf Coast Medical Center, Bell Tower Shops, Gulf Coast Town Center, and numerous restaurants and shopping destinations are all within a short drive. The community's central location allows homeowners to enjoy waterfront living without sacrificing convenience.
Originally developed during the late 1970s through the early 1990s, Caloosa Yacht & Racquet Club offers a diverse collection of residences ranging from approximately 1,100-square-foot condominiums to expansive riverfront estate homes exceeding 4,000 square feet. Many properties feature private swimming pools, oversized lanais, vaulted ceilings, custom renovations, and spectacular views of the marina, Caloosahatchee River, lakes, or lush tropical landscaping. Mediterranean-inspired architecture, mature oak trees, royal palms, and beautifully landscaped streets create a timeless waterfront setting unlike many newer developments in Southwest Florida.
One of the community's defining features is its private 56-slip deep-water marina, which provides protected dockage for vessels up to approximately 36 feet. Residents enjoy direct access to the Caloosahatchee River, Intracoastal Waterway, and the Gulf of Mexico, making it easy to spend the day boating to Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island, Captiva Island, Cabbage Key, Useppa Island, or waterfront restaurants throughout Southwest Florida. Marina slips are available for lease to residents, making Caloosa Yacht & Racquet Club one of the area's premier boating communities.
Beyond boating, Caloosa Yacht & Racquet Club offers an outstanding collection of recreational amenities. Residents enjoy an Olympic-style heated swimming pool, four tennis courts, an active pickleball program, shuffleboard, a fishing pier, scenic walking paths, a waterfront park, kayak launch, and beautifully maintained common areas overlooking the river. The community is well known for its active social atmosphere, with organized tennis leagues, boating activities, neighborhood gatherings, and seasonal events that create a welcoming environment for both full-time and seasonal residents.
One of the community's most unique amenities is the Blue Coyote Supper Club, a private waterfront restaurant located directly within Caloosa Yacht & Racquet Club. Offering exceptional dining with panoramic marina and river views, the Blue Coyote has become a favorite gathering place for residents and guests alike. Whether arriving by golf cart, walking from home, or docking a boat at the marina, residents enjoy an exclusive dining experience rarely found within residential communities.
Unlike many newer waterfront developments, Caloosa Yacht & Racquet Club offers a relaxed, established neighborhood atmosphere surrounded by mature landscaping and generous green space. Large oak trees, flowering tropical plants, winding roads, and peaceful lakes provide abundant opportunities to observe herons, egrets, osprey, dolphins, manatees, and other native Florida wildlife. The community's smaller size fosters a close-knit environment while still offering resort-style amenities and an active social calendar.
Real estate within Caloosa Yacht & Racquet Club continues to attract buyers seeking an authentic Southwest Florida waterfront lifestyle without the higher costs associated with many luxury boating communities. The combination of gated security, marina access, outstanding amenities, and exceptional location creates strong long-term demand among boaters, retirees, seasonal residents, and anyone seeking a peaceful riverfront setting with convenient Gulf access.
