Calusa Club is a charming boutique cooperative community located in the heart of the prestigious Coquina Sands neighborhood in Naples, Florida. Known for its intimate atmosphere, exceptional walkability, and outstanding value just steps from the Gulf of Mexico, Calusa Club offers homeowners a rare opportunity to enjoy one of Naples' most desirable beachside locations. Built in 1969, this well-maintained three-story cooperative consists of only 19 residences, creating a peaceful, neighborly environment that is increasingly difficult to find in today's Naples real estate market.
Situated at 236 Banyan Boulevard, between Gulf Shore Boulevard North and Crayton Road, Calusa Club enjoys one of the finest locations within Coquina Sands. Residents are only a short walk from Lowdermilk Beach Park, where sugar-white sand beaches, Gulf waters, picnic pavilions, volleyball courts, and spectacular sunsets await. Fifth Avenue South, Third Street South, Venetian Village, Waterside Shops, Artis—Naples, and the Naples Beach Club at the Four Seasons are all just minutes away. Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) is approximately 35 minutes from the community, making Calusa Club ideal for both seasonal and year-round residents.
Originally constructed in 1969, Calusa Club features spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom residences generally ranging from approximately 950 to 1,114 square feet. Floor plans include open living and dining areas, screened or glass-enclosed lanais, abundant natural light, covered carport parking, and additional private storage. Many residences have been beautifully renovated with open-concept kitchens, quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, luxury vinyl plank or wood-look tile flooring, plantation shutters, impact-resistant windows and doors, updated bathrooms, and in-unit laundry installations where permitted.
One of Calusa Club's defining characteristics is its boutique size. With only 19 residences, homeowners enjoy a quiet residential atmosphere and a close-knit community feel. Beautiful tropical landscaping, paver walkways, and mature palms surround the property, creating a peaceful retreat just steps from Naples' famous beaches. The location within Coquina Sands allows residents to enjoy the prestige of one of Naples' premier neighborhoods while avoiding the density found in many larger condominium developments.
Calusa Club offers a thoughtfully designed collection of amenities that perfectly complement its beachside lifestyle. Residents enjoy a heated community swimming pool, expansive sun deck, barbecue grills, picnic area, covered parking, bicycle storage, common laundry facilities, and private exterior storage lockers. The beautifully maintained grounds and professionally managed association contribute to the community's reputation for pride of ownership and exceptional upkeep.
Unlike traditional condominiums, Calusa Club operates as a cooperative (co-op) community. Ownership is represented by shares in the cooperative corporation rather than fee-simple condominium ownership. This ownership structure has helped preserve the community's financial stability and residential character for decades. The association also maintains rental policies that allow up to three leases per year with a minimum lease term of 30 days, while pets are generally not permitted.
One of Calusa Club's greatest advantages is its exceptional walkability. Residents can stroll to Lowdermilk Beach in just minutes, bike along Gulf Shore Boulevard, enjoy nearby waterfront restaurants, or spend the day exploring Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South. The nearby Four Seasons Resort at Naples Beach Club further enhances the neighborhood's appeal by bringing luxury dining, wellness, and hospitality amenities to the area while contributing to long-term property appreciation throughout Coquina Sands.
Real estate within Calusa Club remains highly desirable due to its boutique atmosphere, outstanding location, limited inventory, and excellent value within Coquina Sands. Opportunities to purchase in the community are relatively rare, and buyers are consistently attracted to its combination of beach proximity, updated residences, and maintenance-free ownership. Whether searching for a seasonal retreat, retirement residence, or investment opportunity, Calusa Club offers one of Naples' best opportunities for affordable coastal living in a premier neighborhood.
