Del Webb Naples at Ave Maria - Mayflower Way

McGreevy and Comisar are the team Mayflower Way owners call first when they are ready to sell a carriage home, and the team buyers call when they want the building-by-building, floor-by-floor record before they tour. We are Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, and this guide was built from every qualified Mayflower Way sale in the Collier County Property Appraiser’s 2026 tax roll data files, the recorded Mayflower Way Declaration and condominium declarations, the associations’ own posted budgets, the Ave Maria Stewardship Community District’s per-parcel assessment roll, FEMA’s flood map at all 14 buildings, and Del Webb’s own published plans and prices.

Mayflower Way is a 112-home carriage-home condominium enclave inside the master-planned community of Del Webb Naples in Ave Maria, Florida. The 112 homes sit in 14 two-story, eight-unit buildings on a single street, Mayflower Way, Ave Maria, FL 34142. They are split among four condominium associations (Sections I, II, III and IV) and one Mayflower Way Recreation Association that runs the enclave’s private pool campus, and every owner is also a member of the Del Webb Naples Community Association. Del Webb sold every building as first-floor and second-floor carriage homes, so the buildings are two stories (Ave Maria, 12 June 2017).

Mayflower Way is part of a 55+ village: the age rule reaches every carriage home through the Del Webb Naples Declaration, which requires each occupied home to be occupied by at least one person aged 55 or older (Del Webb Naples Community Association, Governing Documents). Del Webb built the enclave in two eras, 2007 to 2008 and 2018 to 2025, and showed all four carriage plans “Sold Out” on 17 November 2025 (Del Webb (delwebb.com), archived 17 November 2025). The last builder-direct closing was recorded on 1 December 2025 at 5689 Mayflower Way (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files), so every Mayflower Way sale from here on is a resale.

If you own at Mayflower Way and are weighing a sale, start with the track record below, the resale-pair story and the seller section, then call Jesse. If you are buying, the plan grid, the fee stack by section, the 55+ rules and the flood findings by building will tell you whether a Mayflower Way carriage home fits before you tour.

That matters at Mayflower Way for a specific reason: a Mayflower Way carriage home is not priced like the rest of Del Webb Naples. It is a condominium unit, not a fee-simple villa or single-family home, so its value turns on things a village-wide average never sees: the section it sits in (which sets the condo fee and the district debt tier), the floor (first-floor Heron and Egret plans versus second-floor Spoonbill and Cormorant plans), the build era (2007 or 2018 to 2025), and the building’s position against the lakes on FEMA’s flood map. Sellers and buyers comparing the best real estate agents in Ave Maria should ask each one to price a specific Mayflower Way unit by section, floor and plan; we do exactly that below.

Recent Mayflower Way track record (twelve months to the newest qualified sale): From May 2025 to April 2026, Collier County recorded 16 qualified Mayflower Way sales at a $269,500 median: 11 builder-direct Del Webb closings, all in Section IV, at a $260,000 median, and 5 resales at a $280,000 median, ranging from $212,500 to $335,000 (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files, Intfiles dated 29 August 2026). The newest qualified Mayflower Way sale in the county record is 28 April 2026; no qualified sale was recorded from May through August 2026, so every county-record window on this page ends in April 2026. The highest resale in the window was $335,000 for a second-floor Spoonbill at 5690 Mayflower Way #608 in Section III, recorded 28 April 2026 (Official Records Book 6582, Page 2256). We tracked every one of the 151 qualified Mayflower Way sales on the county roll and matched each unit to its building, floor and plan, and we paired each resale since 2021 with the same unit’s earlier qualified purchase: of 30 pairs, the median change was plus 28.9 percent and 4 of 30 sold below the prior price. County records carry no listing office, no list price and no days on market; for those we use the Southwest Florida MLS, where 10 Mayflower Way units were listed for sale on 16 October 2026 at $236,000 to $385,000 and the 10 closings with a listing period in the 12 months to that date sold at a median 94.4 percent of the final list price (see “Mayflower Way on the MLS” below).

For Mayflower Way sellers: premium marketing, including cinematic video, drone, professional photography, a qualified-buyer database and discretion when a sale needs to stay quiet. That last point is practical at Mayflower Way: the recorded Mayflower Way Declaration (s. 9.2, Official Records Book 4302, Page 3027) bars any owner other than the developer from posting For Sale, For Rent or Open House signs on a condominium unit (Mayflower Way Declaration), so the buyer has to come from marketing, not the lawn. Now that Del Webb is sold out, your competition is other Mayflower Way resales and the village’s other products, not the builder’s model, and the buyer pool is shaped by the 55+ occupancy rule. We build the file a Mayflower Way buyer asks for before the first showing: the condominium disclosure package, the estoppel certificates (a Mayflower Way resale can need up to four), the district assessment line on the tax bill, and the flood determination for your building.

For Mayflower Way buyers: the first question is the section, because the section sets the condo fee: Section III’s 2026 budget is $1,387.00 a quarter and Section IV’s latest posted budget (2025) is $1,317.63 a quarter, each already including the Recreation Association fee (Section III 2026 budget; Section IV 2025 budget), while Sections I and II do not post their budgets publicly. The second is the floor, because first-floor homes have no stairs and second-floor homes have no one overhead. The third is the age rule, because occupancy, not ownership, is what the Del Webb Naples Declaration restricts. If you are comparing the whole village, our buy a home in Del Webb Naples guide covers the fee-simple villas and single-family homes; owners elsewhere in the village can start with sell my home in Del Webb Naples or a Del Webb Naples home valuation.

Key Takeaways: What Should Every Mayflower Way Buyer and Seller Know First?

Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples is a sold-out, 112-unit carriage-home condominium in a 55+ village, where 16 qualified sales recorded a $269,500 median from May 2025 to April 2026, owners pay a condo fee plus Del Webb Naples village and district assessments, and every building center maps to FEMA Zone X. These facts move price and the decision.

• Size and form: 112 condominium units in 14 two-story, eight-unit buildings on one street: Section I 24 units, Section II 24, Section III 24 and Section IV 40 (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files; Florida DBPR condominium extract).
• Sold out, resale only: Del Webb showed all four carriage plans “Sold Out” on 17 November 2025 (Del Webb (delwebb.com), archived 17 November 2025), and the last builder-direct closing was recorded on 1 December 2025 (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files).
• Prices, twelve months to April 2026: 16 qualified sales at a $269,500 median, made up of 11 Del Webb closings at a $260,000 median and 5 resales at a $280,000 median, ranging $212,500 to $335,000 (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files). No qualified sale was recorded from May through August 2026.
• Resale history: of 30 Mayflower Way resales since 1 January 2021 that we paired with the same unit’s earlier qualified sale, the median change was plus 28.9 percent and 4 of 30 sold below the prior price (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files).
• Four plans, two floors: first-floor Heron (1,457 air-conditioned sq ft) and Egret (1,538), second-floor Spoonbill (1,815) and Cormorant (1,868), each with two bedrooms plus a flex room, a one-car attached garage and a screened lanai (Ave Maria, 12 June 2017; Del Webb Cormorant plan, archived 19 August 2019).
• Condo fee by section: Section III’s 2026 budget is $1,387.00 a quarter and Section IV’s 2025 budget is $1,317.63 a quarter, each including the Mayflower Way Recreation Association fee (Section III 2026 budget; Section IV 2025 budget). Section I and II budgets are not posted publicly.
• Village assessment: the Del Webb Naples Community Association’s 2026 social assessment is $859.80 a quarter, covering operations, bulk cable and reserves (DWNCA 2026 Approved Budget); golf membership is optional at $712.56 a quarter more.
• District assessment on the tax bill: the Ave Maria Stewardship Community District’s FY 2026-27 total per Mayflower Way unit is $1,387.20, $1,479.20 or $1,514.22 depending on the bond series (AMSCD FY 2026-27 final budget).
• All-in example: a Section III unit runs about $10,501.42 a year (about $875 a month) in condo, village and district charges before property tax and the Ave Maria Master Association assessment, which is not published and is stated on the estoppel certificate.
• 55+ occupancy: every occupied home must have at least one resident aged 55 or older under Article XVI, s. 30 of the Amended and Restated Del Webb Naples Declaration (DWNCA Governing Documents); ownership itself is not age restricted.
• Leasing: whole units only, a 30-day minimum and no more than four leases a calendar year under the Mayflower Way Declaration, s. 12.2 (Mayflower Way Declaration).
• Flood: all 14 building centers are in Zone X on FIRM panel 12021C0255H, effective 16 May 2012, but the AE and AH zones along the lakes run within a few feet of several buildings, and three building outlines clip them (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, queried 2 October 2026). The lender’s flood determination for the specific building decides.

What Is It Like Living in Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples as a Homebuyer?

Living in Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples means a two-story, eight-unit carriage-home building on one quiet street, a private Mayflower Way pool campus a short walk away, the Del Webb Naples Oasis Club about a mile by road, Panther Run Golf Club closer still, and a 55+ occupancy rule that comes from the village declaration.

Del Webb marketed the series as “Condominium-style carriage homes, perfect for those looking to live the low-maintenance life” (Del Webb (delwebb.com), archived 12 September 2024). In legal terms each home is a condominium unit: the county roll describes every one of the 112 as “A CONDOMINIUM UNIT” in one of four Mayflower Way condominiums (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files), and the umbrella Mayflower Way Declaration of Covenants, recorded 14 November 2007 at Official Records Book 4302, Page 3006, sets up the Recreation Association that all 112 share (Mayflower Way Declaration). That makes Mayflower Way the condominium enclave of Del Webb Naples, while the village’s villas and single-family homes are owned fee simple.

Who buys at Mayflower Way?

Mayflower Way suits buyers who want to belong to Del Webb Naples, with its clubhouses, resort pool, courts and Lifestyle Director, at a carriage-home price point, and who would rather hand exterior maintenance to an association than mow a lawn or paint a house. In the twelve months to April 2026 the Mayflower Way median was $269,500 across 16 qualified sales (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files). Buyers who want an all-ages condominium in Ave Maria compare it with the four-story Lennar buildings at Terrace Condominiums at The National or the first-floor and second-floor homes at Coach Homes at The National. Mayflower Way is part of a housing community for older persons, so who may live in the home is set by the declaration and federal law, as explained in the 55+ section of this guide; that rule is about occupancy, and it applies the same way to every buyer.

What are Mayflower Way’s street and buildings like?

Every Mayflower Way unit is addressed on Mayflower Way, and the 14 buildings are numbered 1 to 14 across the four sections. The building number is also the first digit or digits of every unit number: 5698 Mayflower Way #408 is building 4, position 08 (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files; Del Webb quick move-in listing for #408, archived 21 July 2019).

Source: Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files; unit counts match the four condominium projects on file with the Florida DBPR (24, 24, 24 and 40).

Inside every building of Sections II to IV the eight positions follow one grid: positions 01 and 08 are second-floor end Spoonbill homes, 02 and 07 first-floor end Egret homes, 03 and 06 first-floor interior Heron homes, and 04 and 05 second-floor interior Cormorant homes. Del Webb’s own lot numbers prove the pattern: the model building at 5701 Mayflower Way listed #1 as Spoonbill, #2 as Egret, #3 as Heron and #4 as Cormorant (Del Webb Heron plan, archived 18 August 2019). The three Section I buildings from 2007 use an earlier, slightly smaller version of the same four-position layout; Del Webb’s 2017 release describes the current four plans as “legacy carriage homes” that “have been redesigned with new consumer-inspired layouts” (Ave Maria, 12 June 2017). We could not find a public copy of the 2007 plan names, so this guide does not assign the current plan names to Section I units.

What does a typical day look like at Mayflower Way?

A Mayflower Way day has two pools to choose from. The enclave’s own Resort Center, run by the Mayflower Way Recreation Association, has a pool and hot tub, a cabana bath house, two barbecue grills and complimentary Wi-Fi, open dawn to dusk seven days a week with no lifeguard, two key fobs per home and up to six registered house guests at a time (Mayflower Way Recreation Rules and Regulations, 17 November 2016). For more, owners drive or ride about 1.0 mile, roughly 4 minutes without traffic, to the 12,000-square-foot Oasis Club, with its fitness center (open 5 am to 10 pm), movement studio, cafe, library and arts and crafts space, and to the 8,000-square-foot beach-entry resort pool, the 3-lane lap pool, 12 lighted pickleball courts, 2 tennis courts, 4 bocce courts and the Grand Hall (Del Webb Naples, delwebb.com; Oasis Club Rules). Panther Run Golf Club, an 18-hole, par-72 course where membership is optional, is about 0.6 miles or 3 minutes away, and the Publix in Ave Maria’s Town Center about 2.7 miles or 8 minutes (OpenStreetMap routing, OSRM, 2 October 2026, from 5702 Mayflower Way).

The practical routines are set by the recorded documents. Cars live in the attached one-car garage or on the driveway assigned to the unit, units may not park more than two vehicles on a permanent basis, and golf carts must be kept inside an enclosed garage (Mayflower Way Declaration s. 9.7, Official Records Book 4302, Pages 3028 to 3029). Trash carts stay inside the closed garage except on pickup day under the 2013 amendment (Official Records Book 4967, Page 566), and Collier County’s collection layer puts the street on Monday and Thursday garbage with Monday recycling, yard waste and bulk pickup (Collier County collection days). Bulk cable comes through the village association at $240.00 a quarter in 2026, not through the condo (DWNCA 2026 Approved Budget).

How does the 55+ rule shape life at Mayflower Way?

Neither the Mayflower Way Declaration nor the Section III condominium declaration carries its own age clause; the rule comes from the Amended and Restated Del Webb Naples Declaration, Article XVI, s. 30 (Official Records Book 4621, Pages 250 to 251), which binds every carriage-home owner. It requires every occupied unit to be occupied by at least one person aged 55 or older and limits anyone under 19 to 90 days of residence in any 12 months, and it was written to comply with the Housing for Older Persons Act of 1995 (DWNCA Governing Documents; 42 U.S.C. 3607). Ownership is not age restricted; occupancy is. The 55+ section later in this guide covers the federal 80 percent floor, age verification, the 2010 grandfathering date that matters for Section I, and how the rule applies to tenants.

What are the trade-offs of living at Mayflower Way?

Mayflower Way buys the Del Webb Naples lifestyle at a carriage-home price point, and the trade-offs come with the condominium form. Fees come in layers: a condo fee by section (which already includes the Recreation Association), the village’s $859.80 quarterly social assessment, the district assessment on the tax bill and a Master Association assessment that is not published, so the all-in figure is higher than the condo fee alone suggests (DWNCA 2026 Approved Budget). Second-floor Spoonbill and Cormorant homes mean stairs, and every plan has a one-car garage. The Section I and II condo budgets are not posted publicly, so a buyer reads them in the disclosure package and the estoppel, using the records rights in s. 718.111(12), Florida Statutes. Mayflower Way sits in Collier County Hurricane Evacuation Zone F (Collier County, Emergency Assistance), and while every building center maps to Zone X, the high-risk zones along the lakes come within a few feet of several buildings. And the drives are real: about 37 minutes to I-75 at Exit 111, 56 minutes to Fifth Avenue South in Naples and 60 minutes to Southwest Florida International Airport without traffic (OpenStreetMap routing, OSRM, 2 October 2026).

What Do Mayflower Way Carriage Homes Sell For Today?

Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples recorded 16 qualified sales from May 2025 to April 2026 at a $269,500 median: 11 Del Webb closings in Section IV at a $260,000 median and 5 resales at a $280,000 median, ranging $212,500 to $335,000. Del Webb is now sold out, so resales are the whole market from here.

Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County recorded qualified sales through 28 April 2026)

Every figure in this section is a Collier County recorded qualified sale from the Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files (Intfiles dated 29 August 2026), filtered to the four Mayflower Way condominiums, improved units and prices above $1,000. A sale counts as builder-direct when it is the unit’s first qualified sale within one year of the year built, or the first sale of a unit the roll does not yet date; every other sale is a resale. The roll carries sales recorded through 24 August 2026, but the newest qualified Mayflower Way sale in the county record is 28 April 2026; no qualified sale was recorded from May through August 2026. So each window below ends in April 2026 and is named by its months, never as “the last twelve months to today”.

We tracked all 151 qualified Mayflower Way sales on the county roll, from the first Section I closing on 27 November 2007 to 28 April 2026, and matched every unit to its building, section, floor and plan position.

Mayflower Way sales by window

Source: Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files. The twelve-month window holds only 5 resales, fewer than the ten we require before leaning on a resale median, so we list all five below; the first window with ten or more resales is the 24 months from May 2024 to April 2026, with 11 resales at a $287,000 median. All 11 builder-direct closings in the latest twelve months were in Section IV, the last section Del Webb delivered. The all-history resale median of $220,000 is pulled down by the 2009 to 2016 resales of 2007 Section I units, which traded between $115,000 and $199,500 in those years.

Source: Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files. Section II, built 2018 to 2021, recorded no qualified sale at all in the window. With two or fewer resales in three of the four sections, these section medians describe individual deeds, not a trend; we use them to show that the 2007 Section I units and the 2023 to 2024 Section III units trade in different bands.

The plan column comes from the unit’s position in its building, using the position grid Del Webb’s own lot numbers confirm, and the sizes for the named plans are Del Webb’s published air-conditioned square footage (Ave Maria, 12 June 2017). The table carries no square footage column on purpose: the county’s building-area field is not living area, and Section I units are labeled by position only. The five resales total $1,384,500 in recorded consideration.

Del Webb builder-direct closings by year

Source: Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files. Several years hold fewer than ten closings, so read single years with care. The nine-year gap between 2008 and 2018 is the pause between Section I and the relaunch of the redesigned plans. Recorded builder prices include the options and upgrades each buyer chose, so they run above Del Webb’s published “Starting From” prices; they do not show financing incentives, which sit outside the deed consideration. In 2025, Del Webb’s final year of closings, the 22 builder-direct sales broke down by plan as Heron 9 at a $278,000 median, Egret 6 at $296,000, Spoonbill 3 at $290,000 and Cormorant 4 at $260,000.

Mayflower Way resales by year

Source: Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files. Years with no qualified resale (2011, 2014 and 2017) are omitted. Through 2018 every resale was a 2007 Section I unit, and by 2021 Section II units were appearing among the resales. The highest Mayflower Way resale on record is $396,300 for a second-floor Spoonbill at 5682 Mayflower Way #808 in Section III, recorded 28 June 2024. The resale median climbed from $221,000 in 2021 to $355,250 in 2024, then eased to $283,500 in 2025, the year Del Webb closed 22 new units at a $278,500 median a few buildings away.

What the county record cannot tell you about Mayflower Way

A recorded deed carries the price, the date and the book and page. It carries no list price, no days on market, no price reductions, no seller concessions and no record of units listed today that have not sold. Those figures come from the Southwest Florida MLS and are set out in the next table; when we prepare a valuation for a specific Mayflower Way unit, we read current listings and recent closed listings again on the day we price it. The county record also does not tell you the condo fee for Sections I and II, the unit’s interior condition, or whether a specific unit holds pre-2010 grandfathered status under the village age rule; those come from the estoppel, the disclosure package and the Del Webb Naples Community Association.

Mayflower Way on the MLS, 12 months to 16 October 2026

The Southwest Florida MLS (Matrix), active listings and closed sales in the 12 months to 16 October 2026, pulled 16 October 2026, shows 11 closed Mayflower Way condo sales at a $260,000 median, ranging from $212,500 to $335,000, and 10 units listed for sale on 16 October 2026, asking $236,000 to $385,000. Ten active listings against 11 closings in 12 months is 10.9 months of supply. At least 6 of the 10 active listings have been reduced (a price cut is their most recent change).

The 10 closings that went through a listing period took a median 373.5 days on market and sold at a median 94.4 percent of the final list price. That days-on-market median mixes two kinds of sale. Five were Del Webb’s closeout units in Section IV buildings 10 and 11 (5689 and 5693 Mayflower Way), closed from 30 October to 5 December 2025, every one listed at a price ending in 990 or 999; four of the five had been on the MLS for 355 to 474 days. The other five were owner resales: three closed within 121 days, and the two long listings were a 2021 Section II unit (445 days) and a 2007 Section I unit (602 days). With five sales on each side, fewer than the ten we require for a median, the table gives counts and ranges.

Sold price is divided by the final list price, because the MLS export carries no original list price. One closing was entered into the MLS after it closed, with no listing period, so it counts in the sales and price range but not in days on market or the sale-to-list share. These MLS counts differ from the county figures above because the windows differ (the county’s ends with the 28 April 2026 deed, the MLS window runs from 16 October 2025 to 16 October 2026) and builder closings do not always reach the MLS.

Why were there no qualified Mayflower Way sales from May to August 2026?

The county roll carries sales recorded through 24 August 2026, and from 1 May to 24 August 2026 it shows four recorded Mayflower Way transfers, every one marked not qualified by the county: two at $0 and two priced transfers (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files). Those four are excluded by rule, as every unqualified transfer is on this page, and we do not guess at their circumstances. What it means for you is simple: the newest qualified Mayflower Way sale in the county record is 28 April 2026, and anything that closed after that will appear in a later extract or in the MLS, which already shows two later Mayflower Way closings: 5686 Mayflower Way #702 at $267,500 in July 2026 and 5690 Mayflower Way #606 at $260,000 in August 2026. For a seller pricing today, that is a reason to read current listings alongside the deeds, not a signal about demand on its own.

Have Mayflower Way Owners Sold for More Than They Paid?

Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples owners mostly have: of 30 resales since 1 January 2021 paired with the unit’s earlier qualified sale, the median change was plus 28.9 percent and 4 of 30 sold below the prior price. In the twelve months to April 2026, all 3 paired resales sold higher, at a median of plus 17.8 percent.

Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County recorded qualified sales through 28 April 2026)

We tracked each Mayflower Way resale back to the same unit’s previous qualified sale in the Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files. Two numbers come out of that work, and we keep them apart because they answer different questions. The twelve-month figure (May 2025 to April 2026) says what the most recent sellers did. The since-2021 figure says what has happened across the whole post-relaunch market, including the run-up of 2021 to 2024. Changes are gross recorded prices, before commissions, closing costs, the owner’s improvements and the years of condo, village and district assessments, so a seller’s actual net result differs from the percentage shown.

The three paired resales, May 2025 to April 2026

Source: Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files. Three pairs, median plus 17.8 percent, 0 of 3 below the prior price. The other two resales in the window, 5686 Mayflower Way #702 and 5697 Mayflower Way #1208, have no earlier qualified sale on the roll, so they cannot be paired. Three pairs is a small sample; it shows that the most recent Mayflower Way sellers recovered more than they paid, not a rate a seller should expect.

Since 2021: 30 pairs, median plus 28.9 percent

From 1 January 2021 to 28 April 2026 the county recorded 33 qualified Mayflower Way resales. Thirty of them have an earlier qualified sale of the same unit on the roll; across those 30 pairs the median change was plus 28.9 percent, and 4 of the 30 sold below the earlier price (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files). A handful of pairs show the range of outcomes:

The Mayflower Way run-up, in one paragraph

The biggest gains belong to Section II owners who bought from Del Webb in 2018 to 2020 at $190,000 to $233,000 and resold in 2022 to 2024 at $310,000 to $367,500, gains of 43.7 to 69.8 percent (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files). The losses cluster at the two ends of the timeline: the 2007 and 2008 Section I buyers who paid peak pre-recession prices (5706 #202 bought at $273,700 in December 2007 and resold at $170,000 in 2021; 5702 #308 bought at $278,900 in January 2008 and resold at $245,000 in 2021, minus 12.2 percent), and the 2022 to 2024 buyers who paid near the top and resold in 2025 while Del Webb was still closing new Section IV units at $250,000 to $310,000 a few buildings away (5698 #406 Heron, bought at $310,000 in 2022 and resold at $269,900 in April 2025). With the builder now sold out, that last source of new-unit competition is gone.

What the resale pairs mean for a Mayflower Way seller

If you bought at Mayflower Way after 2008 and before 2021, every paired resale in that group sold above its purchase price; if you bought from Del Webb in 2023 or 2024, when builder-direct medians ran $357,750 and $339,500, your number depends on the plan and the building, and the 24-month resale median of $287,000 (May 2024 to April 2026) is the honest reference point. Price from the unit, not the enclave: a second-floor Spoonbill in Section III has resold at $335,000 and $396,300, while 2007 Section I units resold at $212,500 and $280,000 in the latest twelve months. We prepare that comparison for your exact unit, and the Del Webb Naples home valuation page explains how we value homes across the village.

What the resale pairs mean for a Mayflower Way buyer

A buyer’s lesson from the pairs is that Mayflower Way resale prices have moved with the builder’s own pricing. When Del Webb’s recorded closings stepped down from a $357,750 median in 2023 to $278,500 in 2025, resale prices followed, from a $355,250 resale median in 2024 to $283,500 in 2025 (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files). With no new units left to sell, a 2023 to 2025 unit now competes only with other resales. Ask for the unit’s prior purchase price and date from the public record, and compare the asking price with the same plan’s recent recorded sales, not with the enclave median.

How Have Del Webb’s Carriage Home Prices Changed Since 2007?

Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples prices rose from Del Webb’s 2017 “Starting From” prices of $189,990 to $217,990 to recorded builder closings at a $357,750 median in 2023, then stepped down to a $278,500 median in 2025 as Del Webb sold its final units, with “Starting From” prices held at $239,990 to $279,990 until the collection sold out.

Data updated: October 2026 (Del Webb archived pages 2017 to 2026; Collier County recorded qualified sales through 28 April 2026)

Two sources tell the price story, and they measure different things. Del Webb’s “Starting From” price is the base price of a plan before options, upgrades and any premium; it comes from Del Webb’s own pages on delwebb.com, read from archived copies with their dates. The county’s recorded builder-direct closing price is what each buyer actually paid at closing, including whatever they chose to add. Recorded closings ran well above the base prices in 2022 to 2024, which is why we show both side by side.

Del Webb “Starting From” prices by plan

Del Webb’s archived pages are its own pages served by the Internet Archive. The September 2021 page showed a price only for the Cormorant. Air-conditioned sizes are Del Webb’s: Heron 1,457, Egret 1,538, Spoonbill 1,815 and Cormorant 1,868 square feet (Ave Maria, 12 June 2017).

Base price next to the recorded closing price

Sources: Del Webb archived pages as dated in the table above; Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files. In 2019 the recorded median sat close to the base prices; in 2024 it ran about $60,000 above the highest base price, and in 2025 it came back within the base range. The county does not record which options a buyer added, so the gap between base and closing price is not an upgrade total.

The 2007 Section I era and the nine-year pause

Section I’s three buildings closed between 27 November 2007 and 9 December 2008, 14 qualified builder-direct sales with a $267,100 median in 2007 and $226,900 in 2008 (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files). Del Webb then closed no Mayflower Way units for nine years. In June 2017 the developer announced four new carriage home designs “priced from the $180s”, describing them as “legacy carriage homes” that “have been redesigned with new consumer-inspired layouts” (Ave Maria, 12 June 2017). The first Section II closing followed on 27 December 2018. We could not find a public copy of Del Webb’s 2007 plan names or prices.

The 2019 quick move-in savings

In July and August 2019, with Section II buildings completing, Del Webb advertised quick move-in carriage homes with savings of $27,000 to $42,000 off the “was” price. The largest was 5698 Mayflower Way #408, a Spoonbill shown at $260,424 reduced to $218,424, “Available Now”, with 42-inch maple cabinets, a tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances and granite countertops throughout among its listed features (Del Webb quick move-in, archived 21 July 2019). The county recorded that unit’s builder-direct closing on 4 December 2019 at $222,000, and its owner resold it on 24 February 2022 for $319,000 (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files).

The 2023 peak and the 2025 step-down

When Sections III and IV opened, recorded builder closings jumped: 18 in 2023 at a $357,750 median, with second-floor Spoonbill and Cormorant closings reaching $399,300, then 20 in 2024 at $339,500 (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files). In 2025, Del Webb’s final year, 22 closings recorded a $278,500 median, with every sale between $250,000 and $310,000, even though the posted “Starting From” prices did not change from September 2024 to sell-out. The step-down came from the recorded closing prices, not from the published base prices, and it carried into resale prices, as the resale-pair section above shows.

The sell-out sequence

On 2 October 2026 Del Webb’s live Del Webb Naples page lists Villas, Scenic, Distinctive and Echelon homes only (Del Webb Naples, delwebb.com). For a Mayflower Way seller, that means no builder model down the street and no new-unit incentives to compete against; for a buyer, it means the only way into a Mayflower Way carriage home is a resale.

How Did Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples Begin, and Why Was It Built in Two Eras?

Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples began in 2006 and 2007, when Pulte, the builder behind Del Webb, incorporated its associations and recorded a 112-unit carriage-home plan. Section I’s 24 homes closed in 2007 and 2008. After a nine-year pause, Del Webb relaunched four redesigned plans in June 2017 and sold out the last unit in December 2025.

Mayflower Way is the carriage-home condominium enclave inside Del Webb Naples, the 55-and-over village in Ave Maria. Its story runs in two chapters, separated by the housing downturn: a short first build in 2007 and 2008, and a longer second build from 2018 to 2025 using new plans. The record below comes from the recorded Mayflower Way Declaration, the Florida Division of Corporations, the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), Del Webb’s own web pages (current and archived), the Ave Maria developer’s announcements and the Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files (extract dated 29 August 2026).

The first era: Section I, 2006 to 2008

The legal groundwork came first. The Mayflower Way Recreation Association and the Mayflower Way Section I Condominium Association were both incorporated on 15 December 2006 (Florida Division of Corporations, Mayflower Way search). On 14 November 2007, Pulte Home Corporation recorded the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Mayflower Way (OR 4302 PG 3006, 60 pages). Its preamble describes “a planned unit development named ‘Mayflower Way’ consisting of 112 residential units, located within the master planned community known as ‘Del Webb at Ave Maria’,” the village’s original name (Mayflower Way Declaration, DWNCA document library). The Section I Declaration of Condominium was recorded the same day (OR 4302 PG 3066), which DBPR lists as condominium project PR74606 with 24 units (DBPR condominium extract).

Section I’s three buildings went up in 2007. The first builder-direct closing in Mayflower Way was recorded on 27 November 2007 at 5705 Mayflower Way (building 14), and the last Section I builder closing was 9 December 2008 (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files). Then nothing new was built for nine years. The county record carries no Del Webb closing on Mayflower Way between December 2008 and December 2018.

The relaunch: four redesigned plans in June 2017

On 12 June 2017 the Ave Maria developer announced that Del Webb Naples was unveiling four new carriage home designs, the Heron, Egret, Spoonbill and Cormorant, “priced from the $180s,” and described them as “legacy carriage homes” that “have been redesigned with new consumer-inspired layouts.” The same release noted buyers could choose “from several views including dual golf/lake views” (Ave Maria, “Del Webb Naples Unveils New Carriage Homes in Ave Maria,” 12 June 2017). By 9 July 2017, Del Webb’s community page listed all four plans tagged “New Plan From the $180’s,” at $189,990 to $217,990 (Del Webb (delwebb.com), archived 9 July 2017).

Del Webb sold every Mayflower Way building as first-floor and second-floor carriage homes, so the buildings are two stories. The two first-floor plans are the Heron and Egret; the two second-floor plans are the Spoonbill and Cormorant (same release).

The second era: Sections II, III and IV, 2018 to 2025

Section II’s Declaration of Condominium was recorded on 14 December 2018 (OR 5580 PG 3531; DBPR project PR76604, 24 units), and its first builder-direct closing followed on 27 December 2018 at 5698 Mayflower Way, building 4. Section II finished on 26 July 2022 with the last closing in building 13 at 5701 Mayflower Way, the building where Del Webb had listed its four model units as #1 to #4 in 2019 (Del Webb Heron plan page, archived 18 August 2019).

Sections III and IV were built together. Section III’s declaration was recorded on 9 June 2023 (OR 6256 PG 3292; PR76970, 24 units) and Section IV’s on 17 August 2023 (OR 6279 PG 1197; PR77086, 40 units), each followed by phase amendments adding one eight-unit building at a time; Section IV’s last phase, building 1, was added on 18 October 2024 (Collier County Clerk, Official Records search). Builder-direct closings ran from 27 June 2023 to 4 March 2025 in Section III and from 1 September 2023 to 1 December 2025 in Section IV (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files).

How Del Webb sold out

Del Webb’s March 2025 page carried the banner “The Carriage Home Series at Del Webb Naples is Now 70% Sold Out” (Del Webb (delwebb.com), archived 7 March 2025). On 17 November 2025 all four carriage plans showed “Sold Out” (Del Webb (delwebb.com), archived 17 November 2025). The last builder-direct closing in Mayflower Way was recorded on 1 December 2025 at 5689 Mayflower Way, building 10 (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files). By 14 January 2026 the carriage home collection was gone from Del Webb’s plan list, which then showed only Villas, Scenic, Distinctive and Echelon homes (Del Webb (delwebb.com), archived 14 January 2026). On the live page today the old Heron and Egret plan addresses redirect to the community page (Del Webb Naples, delwebb.com). Every Mayflower Way sale from here on is a resale.

Mayflower Way timeline, 2006 to 2026

The associations in the order they were formed

Five not-for-profit corporations run Mayflower Way, and their incorporation order does not match the order the condominiums were created. The Recreation Association and Section I were formed together in December 2006, Section II in August 2018, Section IV in May 2021 and Section III in January 2022, yet Section III’s declaration was recorded two months before Section IV’s (Florida Division of Corporations). All five filed 2026 annual reports and are active.

The DBPR unit counts (24 + 24 + 24 + 40) add to 112, the same number the county roll carries and the same number the 2007 declaration promised (DBPR condominium extract). One clerical note for anyone reading the documents: the Section III declaration’s cover page reads “Section II,” a scrivener’s error; the body of the document (OR 6256 PG 3299) correctly reads “Section III.”

What the two eras mean for buyers and sellers today

The gap matters in practice. A Section I carriage home was built to 2007 plans and codes and is now nearly two decades old, while Sections II to IV were built between 2018 and 2024 to Del Webb’s redesigned plans. The four sections also have separate condominium associations, budgets and declarations, so two units a few hundred feet apart can carry different condo fees, different district debt lines on the tax bill and different management companies. We read the section first, then the unit, when we price or evaluate any Mayflower Way home.

How Are the Four Sections and 14 Buildings of Mayflower Way Laid Out?

Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples is 112 carriage homes in 14 two-story, eight-unit buildings on one street, Mayflower Way, Ave Maria, FL 34142. They form four condominium sections: Section I (buildings 2, 3 and 14), Section II (4, 5 and 13), Section III (6, 7 and 8) and Section IV (1, 9, 10, 11 and 12).

Each section is its own condominium with its own declaration and association, and all 112 units also belong to one Mayflower Way Recreation Association, which runs the shared pool campus and holds the driveways as its common area. The building list below is drawn from the Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files, matched against the condominium declarations and phase amendments in the Collier County Clerk’s Official Records and the DBPR condominium extract.

Every Mayflower Way building

Closing dates are the first and last DOR-qualified builder-direct sales the county recorded in each building (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files). A few first transfers in each era were recorded as not qualified, so a building’s first or last closing can be a few weeks off the true handover date; the year-built column is the county’s own.

Sections at a glance

Management companies are as shown on each corporation’s current filing (Florida Division of Corporations, Mayflower Way search). Fees and control for each association are covered later on this page.

Why one street has four condo associations and a recreation association

Pulte built Mayflower Way as phase condominiums under Chapter 718 of the Florida Statutes, adding one eight-unit building at a time by recorded amendment. The Section III declaration, for example, provides for a maximum of 24 units in three phases of eight, with “a maximum of 3 buildings” (s. 2.2(I), OR 6256 PG 3301), and Section IV added its five buildings in five phases, the last on 18 October 2024 (Collier County Clerk, Official Records search). Because Section I was declared in 2007 and the later sections were declared years apart, each became its own condominium with its own association, rather than one 112-unit condominium.

The shared pieces sit one level up. The Mayflower Way Declaration created the Mayflower Way Recreation Association under Chapter 720 (s. 1.1: “Act shall mean and refer to Chapter 720, Florida Statutes (2007)”) to own and run the common recreation areas for all 112 units, including the pool campus (Mayflower Way Declaration, DWNCA document library). Above that, every owner is also a member of the Del Webb Naples Community Association (Mayflower Way Declaration s. 2.1) and the Ave Maria Master Association (s. 2.4). In practice a Mayflower Way owner sits inside four layers of governance: section condominium, Recreation Association, Del Webb Naples and the town.

How Mayflower Way unit numbers work

A Mayflower Way unit number is the building number followed by a two-digit position from 01 to 08. Unit #408 is building 4, position 08; unit #1208 is building 12, position 08. Del Webb used the same scheme for its lot numbers: the 2019 quick move-in at 5698 Mayflower Way #408 was Del Webb lot 04008 (Del Webb quick move-in, archived 21 July 2019). The street address names the building and the unit number names the home, so a full address reads like “5690 Mayflower Way #608.”

The position number also tells you which floor plan the unit is in Sections II to IV, because Del Webb placed the four plans in the same positions in every building. That grid is set out in the next section.

Where the buildings sit in the village

All 14 buildings line a single street inside the gated Del Webb Naples village, and the driveways and pool campus are Recreation Association common area (Section III declaration s. 12.4, OR 6256 PG 3321). The Mayflower Way Declaration allows parking on village roads only in “designated guest parking spaces located on the roadway depicted as ‘Mayflower Way’” (s. 9.7, OR 4302 PG 3028 to 3029), so guests park on the street and owners park in their own garage and assigned driveway (Mayflower Way Declaration). Distances, amenities and parking rules in full are covered later on this page.

What Floor Plans Are in Mayflower Way, and Which Are on the First or Second Floor?

Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples has four Del Webb carriage-home plans in Sections II to IV: Heron (1,457 sq ft) and Egret (1,538 sq ft) on the first floor, and the Spoonbill (1,815 sq ft) and Cormorant (1,868 sq ft) on the second. Each has two bedrooms plus a flex room, a one-car garage and a screened lanai.

The plan names, sizes and layouts below come from Del Webb and the Ave Maria developer, never from county records. Square footage is Del Webb’s published air-conditioned area. Section I, built in 2007, uses an earlier, slightly smaller version of the same four-position layout and is covered separately below.

The four Del Webb plans side by side

Plan facts: Ave Maria, 12 June 2017. Prices: Del Webb (delwebb.com), archived 9 July 2017 and Del Webb (delwebb.com), archived 12 September 2024, unchanged through 17 November 2025. “Starting From” is Del Webb’s base price before options and lot premiums; recorded closing prices ran higher in 2022 to 2024 and are set out in the sales section of this page. The Section III declaration names the same four unit types (it spells one “Comorant”) and bounds living area between 1,350 and 1,950 square feet (s. 2.2(I), OR 6256 PG 3301, Collier County Clerk).

The position grid: which plan sits where

In every building of Sections II to IV, Del Webb placed the plans in the same eight positions. Del Webb’s own lot numbers confirm it: the 2019 model units at 5701 Mayflower Way #1 to #4 were listed as Spoonbill, Egret, Heron and Cormorant, and every quick move-in lot Del Webb advertised in 2019 and 2024 to 2025 sits where this grid predicts (Del Webb Spoonbill plan page, archived 21 July 2019; Del Webb Cormorant plan page, archived 19 August 2019).

So in Sections II to IV, unit #608 is a Spoonbill (building 6, position 08), #702 is an Egret, #1003 is a Heron and #405 is a Cormorant. Each building holds two of each plan: four first-floor homes (two Egret ends, two Heron interiors) and four second-floor homes (two Spoonbill ends, two Cormorant interiors). Across the 11 newer buildings that is 22 of each plan.

The Heron: first floor, interior

The Heron is the smallest and was the lowest-priced plan: a first-floor, interior home “with 1,457 air-conditioned square feet, 2 bedrooms, flex room, 2 baths and one-car garage” (Ave Maria, 12 June 2017). Del Webb’s 2017 description reads: “A lovely open kitchen greets you when entering Heron, while the lanai and optional zero-corner slider draw you in,” and its card listed a walk-in closet, wood cabinets and granite countertops (Del Webb, archived 9 July 2017). The 2019 plan page showed a connected kitchen and gathering room, a kitchen with a center island and stainless appliances, an owner’s bath opening to a large walk-in closet, a laundry room with a washer and dryer, and a screened lanai (Del Webb Heron plan page, archived 18 August 2019). In 2024 Del Webb summarized it as a first-floor home with “an open-concept design concept, a spacious owner’s suite, and an optional den” (Del Webb, archived 12 September 2024). Heron units sit in positions 03 and 06.

The Egret: first floor, end

The Egret is a first-floor end home “with 1,538 air-conditioned square feet, 2 bedrooms, flex room, 2 baths, and one-car garage” (Ave Maria, 12 June 2017). Del Webb described it this way: “Egret offers elegance with a flowing first-floor condominium design, gourmet kitchen, spacious great room, and lanai,” with tile flooring, a walk-in closet and a dual-sink vanity shown on the 2017 card (Del Webb, archived 9 July 2017). The 2019 plan page showed the flex room as a den with French doors, an owner’s suite with double sinks, a large shower and a walk-in closet, and a screened lanai (Del Webb Egret plan page, archived 23 July 2019). Egret units sit in positions 02 and 07.

The Spoonbill: second floor, end

The Spoonbill is a second-floor end home “with 1,815 air-conditioned square feet, 2 bedrooms, flex room, 2 baths, and one-car garage” (Ave Maria, 12 June 2017). Del Webb wrote: “The Spoonbill’s thoughtful open layout features a spacious gathering room with adjoining dining area that flow seamlessly into the kitchen, perfect for entertaining” (Del Webb, archived 9 July 2017). Its plan page listed it at two to three bedrooms, with a gathering room with high ceilings and glass sliders to a covered lanai, and a “Flex room, optional den with french doors or third bedroom” (Del Webb Spoonbill plan page, archived 21 July 2019). The highest Mayflower Way resale on the county record is a Spoonbill: 5682 Mayflower Way #808 at $396,300 on 28 June 2024 (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files). Spoonbill units sit in positions 01 and 08.

The Cormorant: second floor, interior

The Cormorant is the largest plan and the only one with two and a half baths: a second-floor interior home “with 1,868 air-conditioned square feet, 2 bedrooms, flex room, 2.5 baths, and one-car garage” (Ave Maria, 12 June 2017). Del Webb pitched it as “The elegant second-floor Cormorant condominium impresses with flexible living space designed for active adults who enjoy hosting overnight guests” (Del Webb, archived 9 July 2017). The 2019 plan page showed a third bedroom with a window and closet, a powder room “perfect for visiting guests,” and a covered, screened lanai (Del Webb Cormorant plan page, archived 19 August 2019). Cormorant units sit in positions 04 and 05, in the middle of the upper floor.

The flex room, the third bedroom and the half bath

Every plan has a flex room, and that room is where the plans differ most. On the first floor, the Heron’s and Egret’s flex rooms are shown as dens, the Egret’s with French doors. On the second floor, Del Webb marketed the Spoonbill and Cormorant at “2-3 Beds,” because their flex rooms could be built as a den or a third bedroom (Del Webb Spoonbill and Cormorant plan pages, archived 2019). Whether a given resale has a closed third bedroom or an open den depends on what the first buyer chose, so we confirm it on a showing and in the listing photos. Only the Cormorant has the extra half bath, the powder room Del Webb pitched for guests.

Section I: the 2007 legacy carriage homes

Section I’s 24 homes in buildings 2, 3 and 14 were built in 2007, a decade before the four named plans. They follow the same eight-position pattern, two first-floor end units, two first-floor interiors, two second-floor ends and two second-floor interiors, but they are an earlier, slightly smaller version of the layout, which Del Webb’s 2017 release called the “legacy carriage homes” it had “redesigned with new consumer-inspired layouts” (Ave Maria, 12 June 2017). We could not find a public copy of the 2007 plan names or brochure, so on this page Section I units are described by position (for example, “second-floor interior”) rather than by the Heron, Egret, Spoonbill or Cormorant names. For a Section I unit, the exact living area and room count come from the listing, the seller’s floor plan or a measurement, not from the 2017 plan sheets.

Model homes

Del Webb’s model units were at 5701 Mayflower Way #1 to #4, building 13, listed on the 2019 plan pages as the Spoonbill, Egret, Heron and Cormorant (Del Webb lots 13001 to 13004) with no price (Del Webb Egret plan page, archived 23 July 2019). The Ave Maria developer listed the Heron among the models “open daily” for its November 2019 Tour of Homes (Ave Maria, 29 October 2019). Building 13’s builder-direct closings were recorded from 4 June 2021 to 26 July 2022 (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files).

What Features Did Del Webb Build Into Mayflower Way Carriage Homes?

Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples carriage homes were sold with granite countertops, tile flooring, stainless steel appliances, a walk-in owner’s closet, a screened lanai and a one-car attached garage, according to Del Webb’s 2017 plan cards and 2019 quick move-in listings. Features such as 42-inch maple cabinets and a glass-enclosed owner’s shower appeared on finished inventory homes.

Del Webb never published a single “standard features” sheet for the carriage homes that we could find, so the lists below come from three dated Del Webb sources: the 2017 plan cards, the 2019 plan-page photo captions and a 2019 quick move-in listing. Each describes what Del Webb showed or sold at that time, not a guarantee of what every unit has today.

What Del Webb’s 2017 plan cards listed

When the four plans launched, each card on Del Webb’s community page carried three feature callouts (Del Webb (delwebb.com), archived 9 July 2017):

• Heron: walk-in closet, wood cabinets, granite countertops.
• Egret: tile flooring, walk-in closet, dual-sink vanity.
• Spoonbill: Moen fixtures, granite countertops, den.
• Cormorant: den, Moen fixtures, tile floors.

The cards also tagged each plan “New Plan From the $180’s,” and the Heron description mentioned an “optional zero-corner slider” to the lanai, a sliding glass door that opens the corner of the room fully.

A 2019 quick move-in, feature by feature

Del Webb’s July 2019 listing for 5698 Mayflower Way #408, a Spoonbill marked “Available Now,” gave the clearest picture of a finished unit: “42” maple cabinets & tile backsplash, Stainless steel appliances, Granite countertops throughout, Heavy glass enclosed owner’s shower, Pocket sliding glass door, Tile flooring, lake view, & more" (Del Webb quick move-in, 5698 Mayflower Way #408, archived 21 July 2019). In plain terms:

That unit was advertised at $260,424 reduced to $218,424, a $42,000 saving, and the county recorded its closing on 4 December 2019 at $222,000 (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files). Del Webb’s other 2019 quick move-ins in buildings 4 and 5 carried savings of $27,000 to $42,000 off the “was” price (Del Webb plan pages, archived July and August 2019).

Rooms and finishes shown in the 2019 plan photos

Del Webb’s 2019 plan pages captioned their model photos, which adds detail the cards did not (Heron, Egret, Spoonbill and Cormorant plan pages, archived 2019):

• A kitchen with a center island and stainless appliances, open to the gathering room (Heron).
• An owner’s bath with access to a large walk-in closet, and an owner’s suite with double sinks and a large shower (Heron, Egret).
• A laundry room with a washer and dryer (Heron).
• A gathering room with high ceilings and glass sliders to the covered lanai (Spoonbill).
• A flex room or den with French doors (Egret, Spoonbill).
• A powder room for guests (Cormorant).
• A screened lanai on every plan.

Every plan page also carried the same caption on the exterior photo: a carriage home “shown with a Mediterranean inspired exterior.”

The garage and the lanai

Each of the four plans comes with a one-car attached garage and a screened lanai (Ave Maria, 12 June 2017; Del Webb plan pages, archived 2019). The garage matters more here than in most condos, because the Mayflower Way documents put a lot inside it. Owners’ cars go in the garage or the assigned driveway beside it, golf carts and motorcycles must be kept in an enclosed garage (Mayflower Way Declaration s. 9.7, OR 4302 PG 3028 to 3029), and since a 2013 amendment, garbage containers are stored inside the closed garage except on pickup days (OR 4967 PG 566) (Mayflower Way Declaration; 2013 amendment). A buyer with two cars and a golf cart should plan around one garage bay and one driveway.

Lanai dimensions, garage dimensions and ceiling heights were not published on the Del Webb pages we read; we measure or confirm them at a showing.

What Del Webb did not publish

Some building facts a buyer would want are not in any public Del Webb or developer page we could find, and we do not guess at them:

• Construction type (concrete block or wood frame, by floor): not published.
• Roof material: not published.
• Impact-rated windows and doors: not published.
• Elevators: no Del Webb page mentions one; second-floor homes are described only as second-floor plans.

For a specific unit, these answers come from the building permits, the association’s insurance and reserve documents, a wind mitigation inspection and a look at the building itself. The condo budgets do reserve for each building’s roof and exterior paint, which tells you the association, not the unit owner, carries those two items (Section III 2026 approved budget).

What a Mayflower Way resale buyer should check

A resale carriage home was finished to the options its first buyer chose and to the code of its year, from 2007 in Section I to 2024 in Sections III and IV. Before writing an offer we check, unit by unit:

1. Section and declaration. Which of the four condominiums the unit is in, because the condo fee, the management company and the rules differ by section.
2. Plan and flex room. For Sections II to IV, the plan by unit position; for any unit, whether the flex room was built as a den or a closed third bedroom.
3. Owner-maintained items. The Section III declaration makes unit owners responsible for hurricane shutters, windows and glass, doors (except the exterior of the entrance door), in-unit fixtures, appliances and air conditioning (s. 11, OR 6256 PG 3316); the Section I, II and IV declarations govern for those units. We look at the age of the air conditioner, water heater and appliances accordingly.
4. Shutters and windows. What protection the unit has, read from a wind mitigation report and the permit history.
5. Unit improvements. Any flooring, lanai or interior changes, and whether association approval was required and given.
6. The resale package. The declaration, rules, budget and the estoppel certificates, which are covered in the fees and governance sections of this page.

What Is a Carriage Home, and Is a Mayflower Way Carriage Home a Condo?

A carriage home is a building style, not a legal category: several homes stacked over and beside each other in a two-story building, each with its own garage. At Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples, each carriage home is legally a condominium unit under Chapter 718 of the Florida Statutes, recorded in one of four condominium declarations.

Del Webb used both words for the same product. Its 2019 plan pages labeled the series “Condominiums Series,” and from 2021 to 2025 its community page called them “Carriage Homes: Condominium-style carriage homes, perfect for those looking to live the low-maintenance life” (Del Webb (delwebb.com), archived 23 September 2021). The county roll describes each one as “A CONDOMINIUM UNIT” (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files).

The style: what makes a home a carriage home

The name comes from the old carriage house, living space over a coach or carriage bay. In modern Southwest Florida usage it means a small two-story building of attached homes in which first-floor homes sit at ground level and second-floor homes sit above, with each home getting its own attached garage. At Mayflower Way that is eight homes per building: four on the first floor and four on the second, each with a one-car garage (Ave Maria, 12 June 2017). The style feels closer to a small house than to a mid-rise condo, with a garage attached to every home and only eight homes sharing a building.

The law: why Mayflower Way homes are condominiums

Florida defines a condominium as a form of ownership of real property, created under Chapter 718, made up of units that can be owned separately, with an undivided share in the common elements attached to each unit (Fla. Stat. 718.103). Pulte submitted each Mayflower Way section to that form of ownership by recording a Declaration of Condominium: Section I in 2007, Section II in 2018, and Sections III and IV in 2023, each registered with DBPR as a condominium project (PR74606, PR76604, PR76970 and PR77086) (DBPR public records). The Section III declaration, for example, opens with Pulte Home Company, LLC submitting Phase 1 to the condominium form of ownership under Chapter 718 (s. 1, OR 6256 PG 3299, Collier County Clerk).

So the answer to “is it a condo?” is yes, in the legal sense that matters for insurance, financing, fees, the resale disclosure package and Florida’s condominium statutes.

What you own, and what the associations own

A Mayflower Way owner holds three different things:

The Section III declaration states that driveways are Recreation Association common area with an easement to the unit (s. 12.4, OR 6256 PG 3321), and the Mayflower Way Declaration assigns each driveway to its parcel (s. 9.7) (Mayflower Way Declaration). Under Florida law the condominium association insures the building as originally installed, and the unit owner insures interior finishes, fixtures, appliances and personal property (Fla. Stat. 718.111); the insurance section of this page covers that split in full.

Mayflower Way carriage home vs a Del Webb Naples villa

Most attached homes elsewhere in Del Webb Naples are villas, and the difference is ownership, not just architecture. Del Webb Naples’ Quad homes are attached four-plex villas with shared roofing, owned fee simple: the owner holds the land and the whole structure, there is no condominium association, and the owner insures the entire building share. Those villas pay the Del Webb Naples social assessment plus a Quad home-series assessment of $358.35 a quarter in 2026, which covers lawn care and includes a termite bond (Del Webb Naples Community Association 2026 approved budget; Quad termite amendment, OR 5635 PG 668).

Fees for both are set out in full later on this page. The short version: the carriage home trades the villa’s land and structure ownership for the Mayflower Way pool campus and an association that insures and maintains the building.

Mayflower Way vs the condo buildings at The National

Ave Maria’s other condominium products sit at The National Golf and Country Club, which is not age-restricted. Terrace Condominiums at The National is a 420-unit Lennar community of four-story buildings with elevators, which makes it a mid-rise condo rather than a carriage home, and it falls under Florida’s structural integrity reserve and milestone inspection laws for buildings three habitable stories or higher (Fla. Stat. 718.112). Coach Homes at The National is the closer cousin: 192 units with first-floor and second-floor homes, a similar stacked layout in Lennar’s four-home buildings with two-car garages, a different club and no 55-and-over occupancy rule. Mayflower Way is the two-story, 55-and-over version inside a gated Del Webb village. Side-by-side comparisons with both appear later on this page.

Why the label matters to a buyer or seller

Calling a Mayflower Way home a condo is not a technicality. It means a lender underwrites the condominium as well as the buyer, the buyer receives the condominium resale disclosure package under Fla. Stat. 718.503, the owner carries a unit-owner (HO-6) insurance policy rather than a homeowner policy, and the condo association, not the owner, decides when roofs and exterior paint are done. It also means a carriage home’s fee looks higher than a villa’s on paper, because building insurance and reserves are inside it.

First Floor or Second Floor: Which Mayflower Way Carriage Home Fits You?

At Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples, a first-floor Heron or Egret means no stairs and a smaller home, 1,457 or 1,538 square feet. A second-floor Spoonbill or Cormorant means stairs but no one overhead, 1,815 or 1,868 square feet, with a flex room that can be a third bedroom. Recorded prices overlap more than size suggests.

Half of every Mayflower Way building is on each floor, so every buyer makes this choice and every seller competes within it. The trade-offs below use Del Webb’s plan facts and the recorded sales in the Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files; samples by plan are small, and we say so where they are.

Stairs, access and who lives overhead

The first-floor plans, the Heron and Egret, sit at ground level beside their garages. The second-floor plans, the Spoonbill and Cormorant, sit above them (Ave Maria, 12 June 2017). Del Webb’s pages do not mention an elevator for any Mayflower Way building, so a buyer choosing a second-floor home should plan on stairs for daily life, groceries and guests, and should walk the actual stair route at a showing. In return, a second-floor owner has no neighbor above, and Del Webb’s own photos show the upper plans with high ceilings in the gathering room and “beautiful views from screened-in lanai” (Del Webb Spoonbill plan page, archived 21 July 2019). A first-floor owner has a second-floor home above and, in exchange, the easiest access in the building.

Because Mayflower Way is a 55-and-over village, stairs are a practical question for many buyers, and only the buyer can weigh it. Fair housing law means we describe the homes; we do not steer anyone to a floor.

Size and layout by floor

Sources: Ave Maria, 12 June 2017; Del Webb plan pages, archived 2019; Del Webb (delwebb.com), archived 12 September 2024. The second-floor plans run about 280 to 410 square feet larger, and Del Webb priced them about $27,000 to $40,000 higher at base.

What first-floor and second-floor homes actually sold for

Del Webb’s base prices show a clear premium for the upper floor. The recorded 2025 builder-direct closings, the final year of new sales, do not:

Source: Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files; the 22 closings in 2025 ranged from $250,000 to $310,000 across all four plans. With 3 to 9 sales per plan, these medians are directional, not a price list, but they show that in the sell-out year the largest plan did not command the highest price.

Resales tell a different story. Among qualified Mayflower Way resales since 1 January 2021 in Sections II to IV, the second-floor plans resold higher: Spoonbill 7 resales at a median of $335,000 and Cormorant 2 at $347,500, against Heron 8 at $309,450 and Egret 1 at $270,000 (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files). The highest Mayflower Way resale on record, $396,300, was a Spoonbill, 5682 Mayflower Way #808, on 28 June 2024. Section I’s 15 resales over the same period are not split by size on this page. These are small samples spread across a market that rose sharply into 2022 and 2023 and eased after, so the year of sale matters as much as the floor; the full sales record is in the market section of this page.

Flood exposure by floor

FEMA maps every Mayflower Way building center in Zone X, but the AE and AH zones run along the lakes a few feet from several buildings, so the lender’s flood determination for the specific building, and an Elevation Certificate, decide (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, queried 2 October 2026). Floor level changes what is exposed inside the home, not the building’s exposure. A second-floor home’s living space sits a full story above the ground floor, while its garage, its stair and the shared building below it share whatever the building faces; the condominium association’s master policy covers the building, and the owner’s unit policy covers interior finishes and contents (Fla. Stat. 718.111). A first-floor owner’s finishes, flooring and contents are at ground level. The flood and insurance sections of this page cover the building-by-building map, flood policies and the Citizens unit-owner rules.

Interior or end unit

The floor is one choice; the position on it is the other. On each floor, the end units are one plan and the interior units the other: the Egret (first floor) and Spoonbill (second floor) are end homes, and the Heron (first floor) and Cormorant (second floor) are interior homes (Del Webb plan descriptions, Ave Maria, 12 June 2017). An end home shares a wall on fewer sides; an interior home sits between neighbors. On the second floor that choice runs against size, because the interior Cormorant is the larger plan, with the half bath, while on the first floor the end Egret is the larger.

Section I by floor

Section I’s 2007 homes follow the same pattern of first-floor and second-floor ends and interiors in an earlier, slightly smaller layout. We describe a Section I unit by its position, for example “first-floor end” or “second-floor interior,” and confirm its room count and size from the listing and floor plan rather than from Del Webb’s later plan sheets. In the twelve months to April 2026, the county recorded two Section I resales: a second-floor interior home at 5706 Mayflower Way #204 for $280,000 on 18 December 2025 and a first-floor end home at 5702 Mayflower Way #307 for $212,500 on 14 April 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files).

Decision table: which floor fits

Sources: Del Webb and Ave Maria plan pages as cited above; Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files. For a seller, the table is also the buyer pool: a first-floor listing competes with the other first-floor homes on the street, and a second-floor listing with the other second-floor homes, as well as with villas elsewhere in Del Webb Naples.

What Amenities Do Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples Owners Get?

Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples owners get three layers of amenities: a private pool campus with a hot tub, cabana and grills; the full Del Webb Naples village club, including the Oasis Club and Grand Hall; and the town of Ave Maria’s parks, water park and fitness center. Golf at Panther Run is optional and extra.

Each layer has its own owner, its own budget and its own rules, which is why a Mayflower Way carriage home carries more than one association fee (see the fee section below). The pool campus belongs to the Mayflower Way Recreation Association, the village amenities belong to the Del Webb Naples Community Association (DWNCA), and the town amenities belong to the Ave Maria Master Association. The recorded Mayflower Way Declaration ties them together: owners are members of the village association and of the Master Association, entitled to use the Master Association common area and its amenities (Mayflower Way Declaration, OR 4302 PG 3006, s. 2.1 and 2.4).

The amenity layers in one table

Layer one: the Mayflower Way pool campus

The Mayflower Way Recreation Association’s rules list its “Resort Center” as a pool and hot tub, a cabana bath house, two barbecue grills and complimentary Wi-Fi (Mayflower Way Recreation Rules and Regulations, 17 Nov 2016). It sits on Mayflower Way itself, so for most owners it is a short walk rather than a drive, and it is used only by the 112 Mayflower Way households and their registered guests.

The 2025 Recreation Association budget shows what the campus costs to run: a pool contract of $10,000, propane of $14,000, janitorial service for the pool area of $6,500, pool gate internet of $750, common-area insurance of $15,000 and $15,000 of pooled reserves, inside a total budget of $160,233 (Recreation Association 2025 Approved Budget). The 2025 reserve schedule lists the items the association plans to replace over time: pavers, the cabana roof and paint, pool resurfacing, pool equipment, pool furniture and the barbecues, with a total replacement cost of $131,800 (Recreation Association 2025 reserves).

Mayflower Way pool rules

The posted Recreation Rules set these terms (Mayflower Way Recreation Rules and Regulations):

• Hours: pool and hot tub dawn to dusk, seven days a week, adjusted by season.
• Lifeguard: none on duty.
• Access: key fobs open the gates and cabana doors; two fobs are issued per home by the HOA office at the Oasis Club, and extra or replacement fobs cost $50 each (purchased by the owner only).
• Guests: up to six house guests at a time at the Mayflower Way pool, registered with the HOA office at least 48 hours ahead and accompanied by a resident.
• Pets: none on the pool deck, in the pool or in the hot tub.
• Children: children 12 and under are not permitted in the hot tub, and ages 13 to 15 use it under adult supervision; children 15 and under need a resident homeowner present.
• Grills and events: grills are first come, first served for Mayflower Way residents, and the deck cannot be reserved for private events other than association-sponsored ones.
• Smoking: not permitted in the pool area or by the grills.

Layer two: the Del Webb Naples village club

Every Mayflower Way owner is also a member of the Del Webb Naples Community Association, and both posted condo budgets state that “Del Webb Naples Community Association Charges will be assessed by the Community Association directly” (Section III 2026 Approved Budget). That membership opens the whole village amenity campus at Del Webb Naples.

Pulte’s own amenity list for the village (Del Webb (delwebb.com), Del Webb Naples):

• Two clubhouses, over 30,000 sq ft in total: the 12,000 sq ft Oasis Club, with a fitness center, movement studio, locker rooms, activities room, arts and crafts room, catering kitchen, cafe and library; and Grand Hall, with community rooms, a catering kitchen, a billiards room, a golf simulator room and an outdoor verandah.
• Pools: an 8,000 sq ft resort pool with beach entry, a three-lane lap pool and a jetted hot tub.
• Courts: 2 tennis courts, 12 lighted pickleball courts and 4 bocce courts.
• Outdoors: an outdoor amphitheater, a community garden and an outdoor fire pit.
• Dining: The Rusty Putter Bar and Grille.
• Programming: a full-time Lifestyle Director, with activities Pulte lists from pickleball and bridge to movie nights, book discussions, dancing classes and happy hours.

The developer adds that Del Webb Naples “also offers over 15 miles of walking trails” and was named the 2023 Community of the Year in the regional Sand Dollar awards (avemaria.com, 2023 Community of the Year). The DWNCA 2026 budget funds the clubs, pools, courts, gate systems and gatehouse repairs ($65,000) and road maintenance (DWNCA 2026 Approved Budget).

From 5702 Mayflower Way, the Oasis Club is about 1.0 mile and 4 minutes by car without traffic (OpenStreetMap routing, OSRM, 2 Oct 2026), so most owners drive or take a golf cart to the main club and walk to their own pool.

Oasis Club rules that differ from the Mayflower pool

The village club runs on its own rulebook, the Oasis Club Rules and Regulations, last revised 24 August 2023 (Oasis Club Rules):

• Pool and hot tub sunrise to sunset, seven days, no lifeguard.
• Fitness center open daily 5:00 am to 10:00 pm; children 12 and under are not permitted in it.
• Tennis courts open from sunrise to 10:00 pm; court lights go off at 10 pm.
• Guests registered 48 hours ahead, up to 5 day guests at a time, and no more than 30 days of use per day guest per calendar year; guests 13 and older wear wristbands.

The two rule sets do not match, and each governs its own facility: a Mayflower Way household can bring up to six house guests to the Mayflower pool, but only five day guests at a time to the Oasis Club, and the Mayflower rules separately limit guests’ Oasis Club use to no more than 14 days at a time (Mayflower Way Recreation Rules). Plan visits from family accordingly.

Panther Run Golf Club, optional

Panther Run is an 18-hole, par 72, 7,532-yard course inside Del Webb Naples, and Pulte’s own wording is that membership options let residents “spend your days on the golf course, or skip it altogether” (Del Webb (delwebb.com)). The clubhouse is about 0.6 miles and 3 minutes from 5702 Mayflower Way without traffic (OpenStreetMap routing, OSRM, 2 Oct 2026).

The resident membership plan sets the terms (Panther Run Golf Course Membership plan):

• Social membership comes with ownership; golf membership is optional.
• Golf members pay cart fees but no greens fees and book 10 days ahead; social members pay greens and cart fees and book 3 days ahead.
• Golf memberships are capped at 600.
• A golf membership stays with the parcel and conveys on sale; it can be assigned to another parcel for $5,000 with board approval.

The 2026 golf add-on is $712.56 a quarter on top of the social assessment (DWNCA 2026 Approved Budget). Whether a particular Mayflower Way unit carries a golf membership is shown on the DWNCA estoppel certificate at resale.

Layer three: Ave Maria town amenities

The Ave Maria Master Association “maintains all the amenities in Ave Maria: North Park, South Park, Dog Parks, Fitness Center, Tennis Center, Water Park, and the Community Room” (Ave Maria Master Association, Associations). Mayflower Way owners are members under s. 2.4 of their Declaration.

South Park sits just north of the Mayflower Way buildings, but the drive is about 1.6 miles and 6 minutes because the route leaves through the Del Webb roads (OpenStreetMap routing, OSRM, 2 Oct 2026). A walking connection between the two is not published, so do not count on one. The Town Center around La Piazza adds a Publix, shops, salons, a walk-in clinic and the Ave Maria Oratory (avemaria.com, Recreation and Amenities), about 2.7 to 2.8 miles away.

What the amenity picture means for buyers and sellers

For a buyer, Mayflower Way pairs a private pool campus on its own street, shared by 112 households, with full use of the village club, so a quiet swim and a busy club day are both close by. For a seller, the pool campus, the two-fob access and the guest rules are worth putting in front of buyers early, along with whether the unit carries an optional Panther Run golf membership, because both shape what a 55+ buyer is paying for.

What Are the HOA and Condo Fees at Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples?

Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples owners pay a condominium association fee for their section, which already includes the Mayflower Way Recreation Association fee, plus the Del Webb Naples social assessment of $859.80 a quarter in 2026. Section III’s 2026 condo fee is $1,387.00 a quarter; Section IV’s latest posted fee is $1,317.63 a quarter.

On top of those come an optional golf add-on, an Ave Maria Master Association assessment that is not published, and the Ave Maria Stewardship Community District charge on the county tax bill (next section). The table below puts every layer side by side, per carriage-home unit, with the source for each figure.

The Mayflower Way fee stack, per unit

The Recreation Association fee is a line inside each condo budget, so it is never added on top of the condo fee. Read the stack as: condo fee (with Recreation inside) plus DWNCA social plus, if elected, golf, plus the Master Association, plus the district charge on the tax bill.

Section III condo fee, line by line (2026)

The Section III condo association (24 units, buildings 6, 7 and 8) approved a 2026 budget of $133,152, which is $5,548.00 per unit a year or $1,387.00 a quarter, up from $1,380.22 a quarter in 2025 (Section III 2026 Approved Budget). Selected per-unit annual lines:

The reserve schedule behind the roof and paint lines prices each eight-unit building at $40,000 for roof replacement on a 20-year life and $8,000 for paint on a 7-year life (Section III 2026 reserves).

Section IV condo fee, line by line (2025, latest posted)

The Section IV association (40 units, buildings 1, 9, 10, 11 and 12) posted a 2025 budget at build-out of “all 5 phases” totaling $210,821.58, which is $5,270.54 per unit a year or $1,317.63 a quarter, up from $1,228.09 a quarter in 2024 (Section IV 2025 Approved Budget). No 2026 Section IV budget is posted in the DWNCA library as of 2 October 2026, so the 2026 figure comes from the estoppel or the association.

The budget also notes that “The Del Webb Naples Community Association Inc. is responsible for the maintenance of roads,” so there is no pavement reserve in the condo budget, and it uses the same $40,000 roof and $8,000 paint replacement figures per building (Section IV 2025 reserve budget).

What the condo fee does not cover

Neither posted condo budget carries a cable, internet, trash or security line (Section III 2026 budget; Section IV 2025 budget). Cable comes through the DWNCA social assessment, trash is Collier County curbside service, and the unit owner insures the interior items Florida law leaves to the owner (the insurance section covers the HO-6 policy).

Why the Recreation fee sits inside the condo fee

The Mayflower Way Recreation Association covers all 112 carriage homes across the four sections and owns the pool campus, the driveways and the shared landscaping. Its 2025 budget of $160,233 sets the fee at $357.66 a quarter per home (Recreation 2025 Approved Budget), and each condo association pays it as a line in its own budget: $1,445.36 per unit a year in Section III’s 2026 budget and $1,430.64 in Section IV’s 2025 budget. Main Recreation lines in 2025: landscape contract $47,000, propane $14,000, insurance $15,000, pool contract $10,000, management $840 a month and pooled reserves $15,000.

A 2026 Recreation budget is not posted in the DWNCA library as of 2 October 2026.

The DWNCA social assessment, and why there is no lawn series

DWNCA’s 2026 social assessment is $859.80 a quarter, made up of $574.80 operating, $240.00 bulk cable and $45.00 reserve (DWNCA 2026 Approved Budget). The cable line fell from $258.00 a quarter after the board ratified a new Comcast agreement on 17 September 2025 (DWNCA special board minutes, 17 Sep 2025).

The village’s fee-simple homes also pay a home-series lawn assessment (Garden, Quad, Classic or Estate). Mayflower Way homes do not appear to, and this is derived rather than stated: the DWNCA 2026 budget’s unit counts for its four lawn series add to 2,337 homes, which leaves exactly 112 social-only homes of its 2,449-home basis, the Mayflower Way count; Mayflower lawns are paid through the Recreation Association’s own landscape contract. Confirm on the estoppel.

The optional golf add-on

A Mayflower Way unit that carries a Panther Run golf membership pays $712.56 a quarter more in 2026 ($604.56 operating plus $108.00 reserve), which brings the DWNCA total to $1,572.36 a quarter (DWNCA 2026 Approved Budget). Golf membership is optional and stays with the parcel (Panther Run membership plan).

The Ave Maria Master Association assessment

Mayflower Way owners are members of the Ave Maria Master Association and pay its assessments and amenity fees, but not the Town Center, University or developer residential component assessments (Mayflower Way Declaration, s. 2.4). We could not find a public copy of the Master Association assessment that applies to a Del Webb Naples carriage home, so we do not print a figure. The amount for a specific unit appears on the Master Association’s estoppel certificate, which the closing agent orders (Ave Maria Master Association).

Sections I and II: budgets that are not public

Sections I and II are 24-unit associations managed by RealManage (Sunbiz, Section I; Sunbiz, Section II). Their budgets are not posted in the DWNCA library, and at 24 units each they sit below the 25-unit threshold at which s. 718.111(12) requires a condo association to post official records on a website or app (s. 718.111, Florida Statutes). We do not estimate them.

Two routes get the real number. A buyer under contract receives the seller’s estoppel certificate, which states the regular assessment and anything owed. Any owner can make a written request to inspect the association’s official records, including its budget, under s. 718.111(12). Ask for the current budget and reserve schedule before you write an offer.

Fee history at a glance

Sources: the Recreation 2025 budget, the Section III 2026 budget, the Section IV 2025 budget, the DWNCA 2025 budget and the DWNCA 2026 budget. “n/a” means that year’s figure is not in the budgets we read.

One-time costs at a resale closing

The Mayflower Way Declaration provides for an initial capital contribution to the Recreation Association at closing (s. 4.1(D)), but the amount is set by the developer and is not stated in any public document we could find (Mayflower Way Declaration). The estoppel certificates state what applies to a specific sale. Estoppel fees themselves are capped by statute (see the control section below).

How Much Is the Ave Maria Stewardship Community District Assessment on a Mayflower Way Unit?

Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples units pay the Ave Maria Stewardship Community District on the Collier County tax bill: $1,387.20, $1,479.20 or $1,514.22 a year in FY 2026-27, depending on the bond series behind the unit. That is $142.22 more than FY 2025-26, when the same three tiers were $1,244.98, $1,336.98 and $1,372.00.

The Ave Maria Stewardship Community District (AMSCD) is an independent special district under Chapter 189 of the Florida Statutes, created by special act as Chapter 2004-461, Laws of Florida. It is not an association: it builds and maintains town infrastructure, funds it with bonds, and collects both its operations charge and its debt installments on the county property tax bill. The Mayflower Way Declaration requires a specific statutory disclosure about the district in every sales contract (s. 2.3, below).

The per-unit tiers, FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27

Sources: the district’s FY 2025-26 bond balance and assessment roll, good through 31 October 2026 (AMSCD assessment and bond balance by parcel), where every Mayflower Way condo parcel on the roll pays operations and maintenance of $701.83 plus a reserve of $140.15; and the FY 2026-27 final budget approved 4 August 2026 (AMSCD FY 2026-27 final budget), which sets residential operations plus reserve at $984.20 a unit.

Why FY 2026-27 is $142.22 higher

The debt installments do not change from year to year; the increase is all in the operations and reserve charge, which rises from $841.98 ($701.83 plus $140.15) to $984.20 a unit. The difference, $142.22, is the same for every tier. The district’s budget figures include the gross-up for the early-payment discount and collection costs that apply to charges on the tax bill (AMSCD FY 2026-27 final budget).

Which section sits in which tier

The district roll is organized by parcel, not by section, so the mapping comes from matching parcel numbers to the county’s Mayflower Way sales file. Two links are confirmed: Section I parcels sit in the $403.00 tier (2019 bonds), and Section III parcels sit in the $530.02 tier (2023 bonds). Section II units appear to sit in the $495 tier and Section IV units in the $530.02 tier; the tax bill for the unit is the authority.

24 of the 112 units were not yet individual parcels on the FY 2025-26 roll, because the newest Section IV buildings were still being finished and conveyed. Those units are billed as individual parcels as they come onto the roll; check the unit’s own bill or ask the district.

The contract disclosure the Declaration requires

Section 2.3 of the Mayflower Way Declaration places Mayflower Way inside the district and requires the statutory notice, which begins “THE AVE MARIA STEWARDSHIP COMMUNITY DISTRICT MAY IMPOSE AND LEVY TAXES OR ASSESSMENTS”, in every sales contract (Mayflower Way Declaration, OR 4302 PG 3015 to 3016). Sellers should expect the disclosure in the contract; buyers should read the district line on the current tax bill before they budget. The district’s financial documents, including its budgets and bond reports, are posted on its own site (AMSCD financials).

What the district charge means for buyers and sellers

For a buyer, the district charge is part of the monthly carrying cost: about $116 to $126 a month in FY 2026-27, depending on the tier. For a seller, the charge is on the property tax bill, so it is handled through the normal tax proration at closing; the bond balance behind the debt installment stays with the unit unless an owner chooses to pay it off, and the district publishes the payoff balance per parcel on the same roll (AMSCD assessment and bond balance by parcel).

What Does a Mayflower Way Carriage Home Cost to Own Each Year, All In?

A Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples carriage home in Section III costs about $10,501.42 a year (about $875 a month) in association and district charges for FY 2026-27, before property tax and the Master Association assessment. A Section IV unit on its 2025 condo rate comes to about $10,223.96 a year (about $852 a month).

These worked examples add the three layers we can source to the dollar: the condo fee (which includes the Recreation fee), the DWNCA social assessment and the district charge. Each figure below is from the document linked beside it; the totals are our arithmetic.

Worked example: a Section III unit, FY 2026-27

Worked example: a Section IV unit, FY 2026-27

Sections I and II: the known layers

For a Section I or Section II unit, the known layers are the DWNCA social assessment of $3,439.20 a year plus the district charge of $1,387.20 (Section I, 2019 bonds) or $1,479.20 (the tier Section II units appear to sit in) for FY 2026-27, which is $4,826.40 or $4,918.40 a year. Add the condo fee from the seller’s estoppel certificate, because those two associations’ budgets are not public.

Property tax

Collier County property tax is separate from every layer above. It is the unit’s taxable value times the year’s combined millage, and it appears on the same bill as the district line. A buyer’s assessed value resets after purchase, so the seller’s current tax bill is not the buyer’s future bill, and a Florida primary residence can claim the homestead exemption. We estimate the tax for a specific unit and price rather than publish one figure for the street; the county roll is the Collier County Property Appraiser’s 2026 tax roll data files.

Insurance

The condo association insures the building as originally installed, and each owner carries a unit-owner (HO-6) policy for the interior items Florida law assigns to the owner, plus contents and liability (s. 718.111(11), Florida Statutes). The association’s share is already in the condo fee: $1,417.00 per unit a year in Section III’s 2026 budget and $1,796.25 in Section IV’s 2025 budget. The insurance section later on this page covers the HO-6 policy, loss assessment coverage and flood in detail.

Talk to us before you budget or price

Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples carries four association layers plus a district charge, and the exact figures differ by section; a Section III unit runs about $10,501.42 a year before property tax and the Master Association.

What Do the Mayflower Way Declarations Say About Parking, Signs, Trash and Changes?

Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples owners live under the recorded Mayflower Way Declaration (OR 4302 PG 3006) and their section’s condominium declaration. The Declaration keeps vehicles in the garage or assigned driveway, caps each unit at two permanent vehicles, bans For Sale signs on condo units, keeps trash carts in the garage and prohibits converting garages.

The rules below come from sections we read in the recorded documents, cited by section and page. The Mayflower Way Declaration has been amended several times, most recently in 2025 (OR 6493 PG 707), and the Section I, II and IV condominium declarations govern for those units, so confirm the current text in the resale disclosure package before relying on any single rule.

Garages: no conversion

“No garages, carports or storage areas shall be converted to residential use or use other than as originally designed” (Mayflower Way Declaration s. 5.5, OR 4302 PG 3023, association copy). Every Mayflower Way plan has a one-car attached garage, and the garage stays a garage.

Vehicles: garage or assigned driveway, two at most

Section 9.7 of the Mayflower Way Declaration (OR 4302 PG 3028 to 3029) sets the parking rules (Mayflower Way Recreation Use Restrictions excerpt):

• With an attached garage, owners’ vehicles “shall be kept in the attached garage or in the driveway adjacent to the attached garage” while the owner is in residence.
• Driveways are Recreation Association common area; each unit has an easement over its adjacent driveway, “and such driveway is assigned to that Parcel.”
• “Units may not park more than two (2) vehicles on a permanent basis” (s. 9.7(E)); guests beyond that use the designated guest spaces.
• Parking on the Community Association roads is prohibited, except in the designated guest spaces along Mayflower Way, and owners may not use the guest spaces themselves.
• Vans, SUVs and pickups count as automobiles if used mainly for passengers.
• The Recreation Association may have violating vehicles towed (s. 9.7(D)).

Golf carts, motorcycles, trailers and work vehicles

Motorcycles, golf carts, recreational vehicles, trailers, watercraft and vehicles “with commercial markings, racks or tools in the bed” must be kept “within an enclosed garage,” and “Golf carts are permitted, subject to Del Webb at Ave Maria Rules and Regulations” (s. 9.7(A)). In a one-car garage, that means choosing between the car and the cart. Golf carts used on Ave Maria’s town streets are registered with the Master Association, which requires an insurance certificate and an inspection (Master Association, golf cart registration). Service, construction and delivery vehicles may use the unit’s driveway or designated parking in daylight hours as reasonably needed (s. 9.7(B)).

Signs: no For Sale signs on condo units

For condominium units, no owner other than the developer may post “For Sale”, “For Rent”, “Open House” or similar signs (Mayflower Way Declaration s. 9.2, OR 4302 PG 3027). That matters to sellers: a Mayflower Way listing is marketed without a yard sign, so online exposure, the agent network and direct outreach carry the weight.

Trash: carts live in the garage

The 2013 amendment to s. 9.11 (OR 4967 PG 566) reads: “All garbage, trash refuse or rubbish must be placed in appropriate garbage containers and stored inside a closed garage except for the days when there is curbside garbage pickup,” out no sooner than the morning of pickup and back by that evening (2013 amendment, association copy). Collier County’s collection-day layer puts Mayflower Way in District 2, with garbage on Monday and Thursday and recycling, yard waste and bulk pickup on Monday (Collier County collection days layer). The same amendment confirms dual water lines, with irrigation on the non-potable line.

Satellite dishes, window air conditioners and hurricane protection

• Dishes: dishes one meter or less are allowed if they are not visible from outside or are located on the lanai (s. 9.10, OR 4302 PG 3029 to 3030).
• Window units: “Window or wall air conditioning units are prohibited” (s. 9.12, PG 3030).
• Storm protection: hurricane shutters must meet association specifications; code-compliant laminated glass or film may be used in place of shutters, and reflective coverings are prohibited (s. 9.13, PG 3030).

Home businesses and short stays

A home business is allowed only if it cannot be detected from outside and brings no visiting clients or door-to-door solicitation, and “The use of a Unit as a public lodging establishment shall be deemed a business or trade use” (s. 9.1, PG 3027). Leasing has its own rules, covered in the rental section below.

Co-owners, trusts and entities: two Primary Occupants

When a unit is owned by co-owners other than spouses, or by a trust or an entity, the owners must designate two “Primary Occupants,” and no more than one change of Primary Occupants is approved in any 12-month period (s. 12.1, OR 4302 PG 3033 to 3034). Buyers who plan to take title in a trust should plan the designation at closing.

What the Section III condominium declaration adds

The Section III declaration (OR 6256 PG 3292, recorded 9 June 2023) adds condo-level rules for its 24 units, read in the Collier County Clerk’s Official Records:

• Owner maintenance (s. 11, PG 3316): unit owners maintain hurricane shutters, windows and glass, doors (except the exterior of the entrance door), in-unit fixtures, appliances and air conditioning.
• Occupancy (s. 12.1, PG 3320): one family per unit, no more than two persons per bedroom; home business only if undetectable from outside with no client visits.
• Parking (s. 12.4, PG 3321): vehicles in the garage or the unit’s assigned driveway while in residence; garage doors kept closed; no parking on Community Association or district roads.
• Layered rules (s. 12.10, PG 3322): the Master Association and Community Association rules apply on top of the condo rules.

Section I, II and IV owners follow their own declarations, which a buyer receives in the resale disclosure package under s. 718.503 (s. 718.503, Florida Statutes).

Is Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples a 55+ Community, and How Does HOPA Work Here?

Yes. Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples is age-restricted through the Del Webb Naples Declaration, not through its own documents: every occupied carriage home must be occupied by at least one person aged 55 or older, and no one under 19 may reside more than 90 days in any 12 months. Ownership is not age-restricted; occupancy is.

The rule is written to comply with the federal Housing for Older Persons Act of 1995, which lets a community lawfully limit occupancy by age when it meets the federal conditions (42 U.S.C. 3607(b)). Florida’s Fair Housing Act carries the same exemption (s. 760.29, Florida Statutes).

Where the age rule sits

Neither the Mayflower Way Declaration nor the Section III condominium declaration carries its own age clause; a full-text search of both found none. The rule is in the Amended and Restated Del Webb Naples Declaration, Article XVI, section 30 (OR 4621 PG 250 to 251, recorded 4 November 2010), which states that units “are intended for the housing of persons fifty-five (55) years of age or older” (DWNCA Governing Documents).

It reaches every carriage home because the Mayflower documents bind each owner to the village association: the Mayflower Way Declaration makes every owner a member of the Community Association (s. 2.1), and the Section III condominium declaration makes every unit owner “automatically a member of and subject to assessment by the Community Association” and applies its rules cumulatively (s. 6.5, 6.6 and 12.10, OR 6256 PG 3306 and 3322).

The rule in plain terms

Source for every row: the DWNCA Amended and Restated Declaration, Article XVI, s. 30 (DWNCA Governing Documents). The Section III condominium declaration separately requires that all occupants under 18 be supervised by an adult (s. 12.2, OR 6256 PG 3320), which is a conduct rule, not an exemption.

The 80 percent floor, and why the declaration is stricter

Federal rules require a 55+ community to have at least 80 percent of its occupied units occupied by at least one person 55 or older (24 CFR 100.305). DWNCA’s management told members in 2013 that “80% of Del Webb Naples Residents must be over the age of 55 to maintain the age restricted status” (DWNCA 2013 annual meeting minutes). That is the statutory floor for the community as a whole. The declaration’s own rule is unit by unit, so the practical test for any Mayflower Way household is the declaration’s: at least one occupant 55 or older.

Age verification

A HOPA community must be able to verify occupants’ ages through reliable surveys and affidavits (24 CFR 100.307). New owners and tenants should expect the association to ask for proof of age for the qualifying occupant.

Trusts, entities and the Primary Occupant rule

When a carriage home is owned by a trust, an entity or unrelated co-owners, the Mayflower Way Declaration requires two designated Primary Occupants, with no more than one change in any 12-month period (s. 12.1, OR 4302 PG 3033 to 3034, association copy). The age rule then applies to the people who actually occupy the unit.

Section I and the 2010 grandfathering rule

The Del Webb Naples Declaration exempts parcels closed before 4 November 2010 from the age restriction until the next re-conveyance, with exceptions for estates, spouses and trusts; DWNCA counted 62 grandfathered units community-wide in 2014 (DWNCA 2014 annual meeting minutes). Section I’s builder closings ran from November 2007 to December 2008, before that date, so a Section I unit could carry grandfathered status if it has not been re-conveyed since. Most Section I units have resold since then. We do not describe any specific unit as grandfathered; confirm unit by unit with DWNCA before relying on it. Sections II, III and IV were all first sold after 2010 and are fully subject to the rule.

New 55+ supply on the way

On 10 June 2026, Collier County commissioners approved an expansion of the Town of Ave Maria by about 2,042 acres and up to 6,738 more homes, including a roughly 1,000-acre 55+ community east of Camp Keais Road, about 1.5 miles or more east of Mayflower Way (Gulfshore Business, June 2026). For Mayflower Way sellers that is future competition for 55+ buyers; for buyers it is more choice over time.

Fair Housing note

This section explains the rule and its source. McGreevy and Comisar serve every buyer and seller equally and do not steer anyone toward or away from Mayflower Way by age, family status or any other protected class.

Can You Rent Out a Mayflower Way Carriage Home?

Yes, within recorded limits. A Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples carriage home can be leased only as a whole unit, for at least 30 days, no more than four times in a calendar year, and never as a time-share. Tenant households must still include a resident aged 55 or older under the Del Webb Naples Declaration.

Those numbers come from s. 12.2 of the Mayflower Way Declaration: “Only entire Living Units may be leased. The minimum leasing period is thirty (30) days and no Unit may be leased more than four (4) times in any one calendar year” (OR 4302 PG 3034, association copy). Tenants are bound by the Mayflower Way documents, and units the developer owned were exempt.

What the Section III condominium declaration adds

The Section III declaration repeats the 30-day minimum and four-leases-a-year cap and adds more (s. 13.1 to 13.3, OR 6256 PG 3323, Collier County Clerk, Official Records):

• No lease may run longer than one year.
• No subleasing or assignment of the lease by the tenant.
• The owner gives the association 20 days’ advance notice with a fully executed copy of the lease.
• “The Association shall not have the authority to approve or disapprove any lease of a Unit”; it takes notice only.
• Occupancy is limited to the tenant, first-degree family and guests, and a tenant may not have overnight guests more than 10 days in a calendar month; guests register with the manager.

The Section I, II and IV declarations govern for those units, and their lease terms are read in the disclosure package.

The village layer: DWNCA’s leasing rules and amenity rights

The Del Webb Naples Declaration carries its own lease rule, also whole units only, 30-day minimum and no more than four leases a calendar year (OR 4621 PG 249), and an owner who leases hands the amenity use rights to the tenant through a re-designation (DWNCA Governing Documents; Panther Run membership plan). The Mayflower Way Declaration does the same for the Recreation common area: a leasing owner is presumed to delegate those rights to the tenant. In practice, the owner does not use the pool or club while the unit is leased.

Seasonal renting at Mayflower Way

A 30-day floor and four leases a year allows monthly and seasonal renting, for example a winter season split into one to three leases, but not nightly or weekly stays. Because each tenant household needs a 55+ occupant, the rental pool is the same age-qualified pool as the buyer pool.

Always confirm the current text

The Mayflower Way Declaration has been amended several times, most recently in 2025 (OR 6493 PG 707), so confirm the current leasing text in the resale disclosure package before buying a unit to rent.

What Are the Pet Rules at Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples?

Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples allows usual household pets “in reasonable numbers” under the Mayflower Way Declaration, with no pit bulls, wolf hybrids or aggressive dogs, a leash or carry rule outside the unit and no pets on the Mayflower pool deck. Section III adds a condo-level rule: no pet without the association’s prior written permission.

Layer one: the Mayflower Way Declaration (all 112 homes)

Section 9.6 of the Mayflower Way Declaration (OR 4302 PG 3028, association copy) reads: “dogs, cats and other usual and non-exotic household pets may be kept in reasonable numbers (except for pit bulls, ‘wolf hybrids’ or other dogs prone to or exhibiting aggressive behavior), provided they are not kept, bred or maintained for any commercial purposes.” It also requires:

• Outside the unit, “all pets must be carried or secured with a hand held leash.”
• Owners “immediately pick up and remove any solid animal waste.”
• The board may order the permanent removal of a pet that is an unreasonable source of annoyance.

The Declaration sets no numeric pet limit and no weight limit.

Layer two: the Section III condominium declaration

Section 12.3 of the Section III declaration (OR 6256 PG 3320) reads: “No Unit Owner is permitted to keep a domestic pet … without the prior written permission of the Association. Pets may be kept in a Unit in reasonable numbers, as determined by the Association Board of Directors.” Permission is revocable, wolf hybrids and aggressive dogs are barred, pets are leashed or carried outside the unit, and the owner indemnifies the association (Collier County Clerk, Official Records). Sections I, II and IV follow their own declarations.

Layer three: the pool and the town dog park

The Mayflower Way Recreation Rules allow “No pets allowed on pool deck area or in pools or hot tub” (Mayflower Way Recreation Rules). For off-leash time, the town dog park is at South Park, 5415 Ave Maria Boulevard, about 1.6 miles by road (Master Association, South Park).

What pet owners should do before buying

Ask the seller for the section’s current pet rule and, in Section III, for the association’s written pet permission process, and check whether any 2024 or 2025 amendment to the Mayflower Way Declaration changed the pet text. A second-floor unit with a dog means stairs several times a day, which is worth weighing alongside the rules.

Who Controls the Mayflower Way Associations, the Developer or the Owners?

Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples has five associations, and control differs. Sections I and II are managed by RealManage; Section III, Section IV and the Recreation Association use Hampton Golf, and the 2025 Section IV and Recreation budgets show Pulte deficit-funding operations. The village association above them stays Pulte-controlled until 31 December 2030 at the latest.

The five Mayflower Way associations

Sources: Sunbiz, Mayflower Way entities (2026 annual reports); Section IV 2025 budget; Recreation 2025 budget. The DBPR condominium project numbers are PR74606 (Section I), PR76604 (Section II), PR76970 (Section III) and PR77086 (Section IV) (DBPR condominium extract).

What the budgets say about developer control

The 2025 Section IV budget states that the developer “has agreed to obligate itself to deficit fund operating expenses” and will not fund reserves, which presents the reserves “solely for informational purposes” (Section IV 2025 budget). The 2025 Recreation Association budget carries the same deficit-funding language and adds that the audit “is currently absorbed by developer and will eventually be paid by the HOA” (Recreation 2025 budget). Both associations were developer-controlled as of those budgets. The Mayflower Way Declaration also commits the developer to deficit-fund Recreation Association expenses until the Mayflower Way turnover date (s. 4.4). Section III’s control status is not stated in any public document we read.

Florida’s condo turnover rule, s. 718.301

Under s. 718.301, unit owners other than the developer elect a majority of a condo board at the earliest of several triggers, including three years after 50 percent of units are conveyed, three months after 90 percent are conveyed, or seven years after the declaration is recorded (for a phase condominium, measured from the first phase) (s. 718.301, Florida Statutes). Applied to Mayflower Way:

• Sections I (recorded 2007) and II (recorded 2018) are past the seven-year backstop. No turnover instrument appears in the Clerk’s index, so we describe them as managed by RealManage rather than state a turnover date.
• Sections III (recorded 9 June 2023) and IV (recorded 17 August 2023) reach the seven-year backstop in 2030. Del Webb’s builder closings ended on 1 December 2025, so the conveyance-based triggers now apply to both; the public record we read does not show a turnover date for either.

Before turnover, a developer-controlled association may not vote to waive or reduce reserve funding (s. 718.112(2)(f), Florida Statutes).

The village association: Pulte control until 2030 at the latest

The Del Webb Naples Community Association is Pulte-controlled. An amendment recorded on 5 February 2020 (OR 5724 PG 1392) set turnover at the earliest of 90 percent of parcels conveyed, 31 December 2030, or an earlier date at Pulte’s discretion, (DWNCA Governing Documents index). Members gained direct voting on amendments to the bylaws and articles approved in June 2025 and recorded on 14 July 2025 (OR 6488 PG 1344). Pulte is still annexing land into the village, which affects the 90 percent count.

Your right to see the records

• Condo associations (Sections I to IV): s. 718.111(12) gives every unit owner the right to inspect and copy the official records, including budgets, financial reports, insurance policies and contracts (s. 718.111, Florida Statutes). Associations managing 25 or more units must also post records on a website or app; of the four sections, only Section IV, with 40 units, is over that threshold. Sections I, II and III have 24 units each.
• Recreation Association and DWNCA: both are Chapter 720 homeowners’ associations, and s. 720.303 gives members the parallel right to inspect official records (s. 720.303, Florida Statutes).

We do not describe what member-only records, reserve studies or minutes behind an owner login contain. A buyer should request the current budgets, the reserve schedules, the latest financial report, the insurance certificate and recent board minutes during the inspection period.

Up to four estoppel certificates at resale

A Mayflower Way resale can need up to four estoppel certificates: one from the section’s condo association under s. 718.116(8), and one each from the Recreation Association, DWNCA and the Ave Maria Master Association under s. 720.30851 (s. 718.116; s. 720.30851). The statutes set the same structure for each:

The fees each manager actually charges are not published; the association’s estoppel request form states them, and the purchase contract allocates who pays. Under s. 718.116(1)(a), a buyer is jointly and severally liable with the seller for unpaid condo assessments due up to the transfer, which is why the closing agent orders every certificate before closing.

What control means for buyers and sellers

For a buyer, developer control is not a red flag by itself, but it changes what to read: in a deficit-funded association, the posted budget shows what owners will pay, and reserves begin in earnest after turnover. For a seller, a clean set of estoppels and current budgets shortens the path to closing; ordering them early is one of the simplest ways to keep a Mayflower Way sale on schedule. The Del Webb Naples seller guide covers the village-level steps, and Terrace Condominiums at The National shows how control works in Ave Maria’s four-story condo buildings for comparison.

Is Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples in a Flood Zone?

FEMA maps the center of every one of the 14 Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples buildings in Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard outside the Special Flood Hazard Area, on FIRM panel 12021C0255H, effective 16 May 2012. The high-risk AE and AH zones run along the lakes a few feet from several buildings, so the exact building still matters.

We ran the check ourselves on 2 October 2026 rather than relying on a community-wide answer. We took the county’s own building outlines for all 14 Mayflower Way buildings from the Collier County Growth Management GIS parcel layer, tested the center of each outline against FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer, confirmed each result one by one on FEMA’s own server, and then measured how much of each outline falls in each flood zone. Ground heights come from the USGS 3DEP Elevation Point Query Service. The county draws each condominium section as one shared parcel made of building outlines, so the building, not the unit, is the honest unit of measure here. Every one of the 112 carriage homes sits in one of these 14 buildings.

FEMA flood zone at all 14 Mayflower Way buildings

Sources: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, flood hazard zone and FIRM panel layers, queried 2 October 2026; building outlines and year built from the Collier County parcel layer and the Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files. The outline shares and distances to the flood-zone line are our own calculation. Buildings 1 and 2 sit about 24 ft and 13 ft from the line; building 3 about 14 ft.

The three buildings whose outlines touch the high-risk area

Three building outlines clip FEMA’s Special Flood Hazard Area by small amounts, and all three were built in the newer era. 5682 Mayflower Way (building 8, Section III, units 801 to 808) has about 346 sq ft, roughly 3 percent of its outline, in Zones AE and AH. 5683 Mayflower Way (building 9, Section IV, units 901 to 908) has about 8 sq ft in Zone AE. 5690 Mayflower Way (building 6, Section III, units 601 to 608) has about 3 sq ft in Zone AH (FEMA NFHL, our calculation, 2 October 2026). The center of each of these buildings still tests Zone X.

Several more, including 5698, 5694 and 5686 Mayflower Way, sit within about 3 ft of the line, and no Mayflower Way building sits more than about 78 ft from it. The county’s building outlines come from the condominium plats, not from a surveyor’s foundation survey, so on a line this close a flood determination company could rule a building either way. That is why we never describe any Mayflower Way building as safely outside the flood zone.

Mayflower Way by section

Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer and the Collier County parcel layer, queried 2 October 2026; our calculation. Because the county draws each section as one shared parcel, a whole-parcel test shows the Section III and Section IV parcels (64 units) touching the high-risk area and the Section I and II parcels (48 units) clear of it. The lakes and edges of the shared common-area tract around the buildings account for that: about 12 percent of the tract lies in the high-risk area.

What Zone X means for Mayflower Way, and what it does not

FEMA’s data labels the zone at every Mayflower Way building center “AREA OF MINIMAL FLOOD HAZARD”, flagged as outside the Special Flood Hazard Area. Zones AE and AH, the ones that run along the lakes beside the buildings, are both inside it (FEMA NFHL). Minimal hazard is a map category, not a promise, and a mapped lake-edge zone a few feet from a wall is a reason to look closely at the finished floor, the drainage around the building and the lender’s determination.

So the safe way to say it is this: FEMA maps every Mayflower Way building center in Zone X, but the AE and AH zones run along the lakes a few feet from several buildings, so the lender’s flood determination for the specific building, and an Elevation Certificate, decide.

Ground height and the 21.0 ft base flood elevation lines

FEMA’s six mapped base flood elevation lines around Mayflower Way all read 21.0 ft NAVD88, and bare ground at the 14 building centers reads 22.5 to 23.7 ft on the USGS 3DEP service (FEMA NFHL, base flood elevation layer). Bare ground is not the finished floor of any unit, and the distance between the two is exactly what an Elevation Certificate measures. We do not publish a height above base flood elevation for any Mayflower Way unit without that certificate in hand.

Is flood insurance required for a Mayflower Way condo?

Federal mandatory purchase applies only to a building in a Special Flood Hazard Area that carries a federally backed mortgage. Collier County puts it this way: “Properties that have been officially identified as being in a high risk Special Flood Hazard Area and that have a federally-backed mortgage are required to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program” (Collier County 2026 Flood Protection Newsletter). Because every Mayflower Way building center maps in Zone X, the rule should not be triggered by the map alone, but the lender’s Standard Flood Hazard Determination on the building governs, and the three outline-touching buildings (5682, 5683 and 5690) are the ones where a determination is most likely to differ. A lender may also require flood coverage even where federal law does not.

Separately, Citizens Property Insurance does not require flood coverage to keep a condominium unit-owner policy. Florida law exempts “Policies that provide coverage under a condominium unit owners form” from Citizens’ flood requirement (s. 627.351(6)(aa)3.b., Florida Statutes; Citizens, June 2023). The insurance section below explains how the association’s building policy and your unit policy split the risk.

Elevation Certificates and the lender’s determination

Collier County describes an Elevation Certificate as “an official record that identifies the elevations of a structure and demonstrates compliance with National Flood Insurance Requirements and Collier County’s Floodplain Management Ordinance” (Collier County 2026 Flood Protection Newsletter). We could not find a public copy of a certificate for any Mayflower Way building. A buyer should ask the seller and the condominium association for the building’s certificate, and can ask the county’s Floodplain Management Section through its Flood Info Hotline, (239) 252-2942, or check the county map at collier.gov/floodmap. Order the flood zone determination on the exact address early, before the inspection period ends, especially for a unit in buildings 6, 8 or 9.

Collier County floodplain context

Collier County “has participated in the program since October 1992 and maintains a Class 5 CRS rating. With this rating, eligible NFIP polices receive a 25% discount to the flood insurance premium” (Collier County 2026 Flood Protection Newsletter). The same newsletter notes that the county’s digital flood map was revised effective 8 February 2024, but FEMA’s live panel data still reports panel 12021C0255H with its 16 May 2012 date at all 14 Mayflower Way buildings (FEMA NFHL, FIRM panel layer), so the 2012 panel is the one that applies here.

First floor or second floor: flood exposure inside the unit

A second-floor Spoonbill or Cormorant unit has no ground-level floor of its own, so floodwater would have to rise a full story to reach it. It still shares the building, the roof, the stairs, the garage level and the association’s insurance and repair costs with the first-floor Heron and Egret units below, so a flood that damages the building reaches every owner through the condominium budget. A first-floor buyer carries the more direct exposure and should weigh the building’s distance to the flood-zone line in the table above.

How Mayflower Way compares with Silverwood

Mayflower Way is the opposite case to Silverwood at Maple Ridge, elsewhere in Ave Maria, where 617 of 635 county parcels touch FEMA’s Special Flood Hazard Area. At Mayflower Way, no building center does, and only three outlines clip it. Both sit on the same FIRM panel, which shows how much a few hundred yards and a few feet of ground can change the flood answer inside one town (FEMA NFHL).

How Has Ave Maria Fared in Hurricanes, and What Is Mayflower Way’s Evacuation Zone?

Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples sits about 24 miles inland in Collier County Evacuation Zone F. In Hurricane Irma a weather station named Ave Maria logged 66 mph sustained winds and an 89 mph gust, when only Section I stood. We found no building-specific damage report for Mayflower Way in weather service or developer records.

Hurricane Irma, September 2017

Irma made landfall at Marco Island on 10 September 2017; the National Weather Service writes that “The center of Irma then made landfall in Marco Island at 3:35pm that afternoon as a Category 3 with 115 mph winds.” Its station table lists a station named “Ave Maria” that recorded sustained winds of 66 mph and a peak gust of 89 mph that afternoon, and the agency notes peak gusts across most of Collier County reached at least Category 2 strength and that inland Collier had the region’s heaviest rain, 9 to 15 inches (NWS Miami, Hurricane Irma). In 2017 only the three Section I buildings (5702, 5705 and 5706 Mayflower Way, built 2007) existed; Sections II to IV came later. No Mayflower Way damage report from Irma was found in National Weather Service or developer records.

Hurricane Ian, September 2022

Ian made landfall at Cayo Costa in Lee County as a Category 4 on 28 September 2022. The nearest inland station in the National Weather Service summary, Immokalee, measured 52 mph sustained winds and an 81 mph gust. Across Collier County the agency counted 5 deaths, about 32,500 people evacuated and 201,095 customers without power at the peak, found storm surge flooding over almost all of the county south and west of US 41, and described wind damage as “mainly confined to trees/fences/screens, with minor wind damage to vulnerable structures” (NWS Miami, Hurricane Ian summary). Sections I and II of Mayflower Way stood by then. Again, no building-specific damage report was found in National Weather Service or developer records.

What the developer says, with dates

Ave Maria’s developer has made three statements worth knowing, each its own claim rather than a measurement. On 12 October 2022 it wrote that “During the past two category 4 hurricanes, Ian and Irma, the master planned community only saw minimal landscape damage” and that the Ave Maria Utility Company kept providing drinking water and wastewater service during and after both storms (Ave Maria Development, 12 October 2022). On 4 June 2025 it wrote that “Ave Maria experienced zero damage despite the extreme 2024 season”, and the same release says “Ave Maria is ideal because there is no storm surge” (Ave Maria Development, 4 June 2025). Those are the developer’s words. The county still places Mayflower Way in an evacuation zone, covered next.

Distance from the Gulf

The straight-line distance from the center of Mayflower Way to the Gulf shore is about 24.1 miles to Vanderbilt Beach, about 24.6 miles to Barefoot Beach and about 25.9 miles to the Naples Pier (our calculation, 2 October 2026). A Del Webb Naples resident quoted by the developer put it simply: “We bought this place because it is 24 miles inland” (Ave Maria Development, June 2025). Distance reduces exposure to coastal surge; it does nothing about wind or heavy rain, which is why the wind code and the flood map both matter for Mayflower Way.

Collier County Evacuation Zone F

Collier County’s own hurricane evacuation zone layer returned Zone F at four Mayflower Way building centers we tested on 2 October 2026 (buildings 1, 2, 8 and 13, spread across all four sections). Zone F is the county’s outermost zone, and it covers a large share of inland Collier County, so Mayflower Way shares it with much of the county. Mayflower Way is in an evacuation zone; it is simply the outermost one. Confirm your exact address with the county’s lookup on its Emergency Assistance page, and follow the county’s orders for Zone F during a storm.

Nearest public shelters

Collier County Emergency Management’s 2024 Potential Shelters list names several schools near Ave Maria. The county cautions that “only a portion of all potential shelters may be open based on their risk profile”, so check which are open during an event through Collier 311 or (800) 729-3413 (Collier County Emergency Assistance).

Ave Maria Elementary opened in August 2026, after the 2024 list was published; we could not find a public statement on whether it is now a designated shelter.

Design wind speed and the wind-borne debris region

The ASCE 7-22 Risk Category II wind contour layer published for the Florida Building Code puts Mayflower Way between the 150 mph contour, about 8.8 miles to the northeast, and the 160 mph contour, about 15.2 miles to the southwest. Straight-line interpolation gives about 154 mph (our calculation). At 140 mph or more a site falls in the wind-borne debris region, where the code calls for protected or impact-rated openings on new construction (Florida Building Code definition, as quoted by the Florida Roofing and Sheet Metal Contractors Association). The design professional’s site-specific value governs any permit, and we could not find a public source stating each building’s construction type or whether its windows are impact-rated.

Three build eras, three code editions

The Florida Building Code edition in force when a building’s permit was applied for is the one it was built under. Mayflower Way’s buildings span three eras (Florida Building Commission, 2023 effective dates; City of Marco Island, 7th Edition effective date).

Year built comes from the Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files. The permit date for each building, which fixes the exact edition, sits in the county’s permit records and was not pulled for this guide; a buyer who cares about a specific building can request it.

Hurricane shutters and windows under the recorded documents

The Mayflower Way Declaration, s. 9.13 (OR 4302 PG 3030), requires hurricane shutters to meet association specifications, allows code-compliant laminated glass or film in place of shutters, and prohibits reflective coverings (Mayflower Way Declaration, association copy). In Section III, the condominium declaration’s s. 11 (OR 6256 PG 3316) makes unit owners responsible for maintaining hurricane shutters, windows and glass, and doors other than the exterior of the entrance door. The Section I, II and IV declarations govern for those units. Before adding shutters or replacing glass, get the association’s written specifications.

How Does Insurance Work for a Mayflower Way Carriage Home?

At Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples, the condominium association for your section insures the building as originally built under a master policy paid through the condo fee, and you insure your interior finishes, contents, liability and loss assessments under an HO-6 unit-owner policy. Florida’s condominium statute draws that line, and each section’s budget shows the association’s premium.

The association’s master policy, s. 718.111(11)

Florida law says “Every condominium association shall have adequate property insurance as determined under this paragraph, regardless of any requirement in the declaration of condominium for certain coverage by the association.” That policy covers “All portions of the condominium property as originally installed or replacement of like kind and quality, in accordance with the original plans and specifications”, and “The replacement cost must be determined at least once every 3 years, at minimum” (s. 718.111, Florida Statutes). A developer-controlled association must “exercise its best efforts to obtain and maintain insurance”. For a Mayflower Way carriage home, that means the roof, the exterior walls, the structure and the original building systems sit on the association’s policy, not yours.

What your HO-6 policy has to cover

The same statute requires the master policy to “exclude all personal property within the unit or limited common elements, and floor, wall, and ceiling coverings, electrical fixtures, appliances, water heaters, water filters, built-in cabinets and countertops, and window treatments” (s. 718.111(11), Florida Statutes). Those items are the owner’s to insure. For a Mayflower Way unit, that list reaches the flooring, the kitchen cabinets and counters, the appliances, the water heater, light fixtures, window treatments, any upgrades a prior owner added, your furniture and belongings, and your personal liability. Price the HO-6 with that list in hand, and tell the agent whether the unit is a first-floor Heron or Egret or a second-floor Spoonbill or Cormorant.

What each Mayflower Way association budgets for insurance

The associations’ approved budgets are posted on the Del Webb Naples club’s public document library, so a buyer can see the premium each section pays before writing an offer.

Sources: Section III 2026 Approved Budget; Section IV 2025 Approved Budget; Mayflower Way Recreation Association 2025 Approved Budget. The budgets do not state which perils (wind, flood) each master policy covers or what its deductibles are. Request the association’s insurance certificate and declarations page to see that.

Loss assessment coverage, s. 627.714

A Florida unit-owner policy must include “at least $2,000 in property loss assessment coverage for all assessments made as a result of the same direct loss to the property”, with “a deductible of no more than $250 per direct property loss” on that coverage (s. 627.714, Florida Statutes). The $2,000 is a floor. If a storm damages a Mayflower Way building and the master policy’s deductible is large, the association can assess each owner for a share, so size your loss assessment coverage to the master policy’s deductible once you have seen it.

Flood insurance and Citizens for a Mayflower Way unit

Citizens Property Insurance’s flood requirement does not apply to a condominium unit-owner policy: Florida law lists “Policies that provide coverage under a condominium unit owners form” among the policies that do not require flood insurance (s. 627.351(6)(aa)3.b., Florida Statutes). Citizens confirmed in 2023 that “Condominium units insured under a condominium unit owners form will no longer be required to obtain flood coverage to be eligible for a Citizens policy” (Citizens, 1 June 2023; Citizens, 12 May 2023). Federal mandatory purchase is a separate rule tied to the building’s flood zone and a federally backed loan, covered in the flood section above. Whether to buy flood contents coverage for a first-floor unit near the lake edge is a judgement call to make with an agent and the building’s Elevation Certificate.

Wind mitigation credits, s. 627.0629

Florida requires residential property insurers to offer “actuarially reasonable discounts, credits, or other rate differentials” for features that reduce windstorm loss, including “roof strength, roof covering performance, roof-to-wall strength, wall-to-floor-to-foundation strength, opening protection, and window, door, and skylight strength” (s. 627.0629, Florida Statutes). In a Mayflower Way building most of those features belong to the building and its master policy. Whether your HO-6 carrier gives a credit for them, or for shutters or laminated glass you add under s. 9.13 of the Declaration, depends on the insurer, so ask the carrier directly.

Roof age and the Section I roofs

Florida’s roof-age rule says an insurer “may not refuse to issue or refuse to renew a homeowner’s policy insuring a residential structure with a roof that is less than 15 years old solely because of the age of the roof” (s. 627.7011, Florida Statutes). The statute speaks of homeowner’s policies, and in a condominium the roof sits on the association’s master policy. The three Section I buildings date from 2007, so a roof that is still original there passed 15 years in 2022 (our calculation from the county year built). We could not find a public record of whether those roofs have been replaced; a Section I buyer should ask the association for the roof’s age and for the reserve schedule.

Insurance documents to request before you buy

• The master policy’s insurance certificate and declarations page for your section (carrier, perils, limits, deductibles).
• The section’s current approved budget, to see the insurance line and how it has moved.
• The building’s Elevation Certificate and the lender’s flood zone determination for the building.
• A wind mitigation report, if one exists for the building.
• HO-6 quotes that list the unit’s interior items and the loss assessment limit you want.

Condominium owners can request association records under s. 718.111(12), Florida Statutes, and a seller’s estoppel and disclosure package should arrive before closing.

Weighing a Mayflower Way Building’s Flood Line, Insurance and Storm Record?

Do Florida’s Condo Safety Laws (SIRS and Milestone Inspections) Apply to Mayflower Way?

No, by the statutes’ own terms. Florida’s structural integrity reserve study and milestone inspection laws cover condominium buildings three habitable stories or higher, and Del Webb sold every Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples building as first-floor and second-floor carriage homes, so the buildings are two stories. The condo budgets still reserve for roofs and paint.

The structural integrity reserve study, s. 718.112(2)(g)

A residential condominium association “must have a structural integrity reserve study completed at least every 10 years after the condominium’s creation for each building on the condominium property that is three habitable stories or higher in height.” The statute adds: “This paragraph does not apply to buildings less than three stories in height” (s. 718.112, Florida Statutes). Del Webb’s 2017 release lists two first-floor plans, Heron and Egret, and two second-floor plans, Spoonbill and Cormorant (Ave Maria Development, 12 June 2017), so each eight-unit Mayflower Way building has two habitable stories and falls outside the SIRS requirement. The Florida Division of Condominiums runs a SIRS reporting page for the buildings that are covered.

Milestone inspections, s. 553.899

The milestone inspection law applies to “a building that is three habitable stories or more in height as determined by the Florida Building Code and that is subject, in whole or in part, to the condominium or cooperative form of ownership”, with the first inspection “by December 31 of the year in which the building reaches 30 years of age” and “every 10 years thereafter” (s. 553.899, Florida Statutes). Two-story Mayflower Way buildings are outside it. Even if they were not, the oldest, the 2007 Section I buildings, would not reach 30 years until 2037 (our calculation).

The contrast with Terrace Condominiums at The National

The other condominium product in Ave Maria with its own page, Terrace Condominiums at The National, is built in four-story buildings, so both laws do apply there: each association needs a structural integrity reserve study at least every ten years, and each building a milestone inspection at 30 years. A buyer weighing the two products is weighing that paperwork too. At Mayflower Way the statutory study and inspection are absent by design, which puts more weight on the ordinary budget and reserve schedule.

Roofs and paint are still in the reserve schedules

The Mayflower Way condo budgets reserve for the two big building costs anyway. In both the Section III 2026 and the Section IV 2025 reserve schedules, each eight-unit building carries a roof replacement cost of $40,000 on a 20-year life and exterior paint of $8,000 on a 7-year life (Section III 2026 reserve budget; Section IV 2025 reserve budget). In the Section III 2026 operating budget, those reserves work out to $277.78 a unit a year for roofs and $200.00 for paint (Section III 2026 Approved Budget); the Section IV 2025 budget carries $10,526.32 for roofs and $6,666.67 for paint across its 40 units (Section IV 2025 Approved Budget). The Recreation Association’s 2025 reserve schedule covers the pool campus: pavers, the cabana roof and paint, pool resurfacing and equipment, furniture and the barbecues (Recreation 2025 reserves).

The developer reserve rule, s. 718.112(2)(f)

Florida law says that “Before turnover of control of an association by a developer … the developer-controlled association may not vote to waive the reserves or reduce funding of the reserves” (s. 718.112, Florida Statutes). The Section IV 2025 budget states that the developer has agreed to deficit-fund operating expenses and will not fund reserves, and presents its reserve figures for information (Section IV 2025 Approved Budget); the Recreation Association’s 2025 budget says the same (Recreation 2025 Approved Budget). Those are statements in a budget, not a finding about anyone’s compliance. A buyer in Section IV, or any section, should ask the association how reserves are funded today and request the current reserve schedule.

How to get the records

Unit owners can inspect association records under s. 718.111(12), Florida Statutes. The duty to post records on a website applies to associations managing 25 or more units, which at Mayflower Way means Section IV (40 units); Sections I, II and III have 24 units each. We do not describe what any association’s own reserve studies or minutes contain. Ask the seller for the budget, the reserve schedule and the insurance certificate, and ask the association for anything else.

Which Schools Serve Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples?

Collier County Public Schools zones every Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples building for Ave Maria Elementary, Corkscrew Middle and Palmetto Ridge High for 2026-27. Corkscrew Middle earned an A and Palmetto Ridge High a B in 2026; Ave Maria Elementary opened 11 August 2026 and has no grade yet. Del Webb Naples is a 55+ village, so schools matter mostly for resale context.

Assigned public schools by address

We looked up all 14 Mayflower Way building addresses in the district’s 2026-27 attendance zone service on 2 October 2026, and every one returned the same three schools (CCPS attendance zone lookup).

Grades: CCPS 2026 Accountability Brief, which shows Corkscrew Middle at A, B, B, A and A from 2022 to 2026 and Palmetto Ridge High at B, B, A, A and B over the same years. The district as a whole earned an A for 2025-26. Assignments can change, so confirm the address with CCPS Student Assignment before relying on it.

Ave Maria Elementary, opened August 2026

Ave Maria’s developer reported that the new school at 4050 Anthem Parkway would “welcome students on August 11” and that it is “the District’s 33rd elementary school”, with two dedicated golf cart drop-off and pick-up locations (Ave Maria Development, 3 August 2026). It will receive its first state grade after the 2026-27 school year.

Why schools are a short section on this page

The Amended and Restated Del Webb Naples Declaration requires at least one resident aged 55 or older in every occupied home and limits anyone under 19 to 90 days of residence in any 12 months, and that rule reaches every Mayflower Way carriage home (DWNCA Governing Documents, Art. XVI s. 30). The 55+ section of this guide explains the rule and its exceptions. School zoning still matters to some buyers and to resale, and two of the zoned schools also appear on the county’s list of potential hurricane shelters.

What Zoning and Nearby Development Shape Mayflower Way?

Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples sits inside the Ave Maria Stewardship Receiving Area, part of Collier County’s Rural Lands Stewardship Area, in County Commission District 5. Its nearest neighbor outside Del Webb is the Master Association’s South Sports Park, about 50 ft from the closest building, and a 2026 expansion adds a future 55+ area east of Camp Keais Road.

A town built under the Rural Lands Stewardship program

Collier County’s land-use layers, queried at the center of Mayflower Way on 2 October 2026, return the “Rural Lands Stewardship Area” overlay and the “AVE MARIA SRA” receiving area (Collier County RLSA SRA layer). Land-use rules come from the Town of Ave Maria’s approved town plan, with private covenants on top: the Del Webb Naples Declaration, the Mayflower Way Declaration (OR 4302 PG 3006) and its amendments, the four condominium declarations and the Ave Maria Master Association. Mayflower Way lies in unincorporated Collier County, in Commissioner District 5. Ave Maria is a town in unincorporated Collier County, and the Ave Maria Stewardship Community District is a Chapter 189 special district, and the Mayflower Way Declaration s. 2.3 requires its disclosure in every sales contract (Mayflower Way Declaration).

What is next to Mayflower Way

The South Sports Park next door

The South Sports Park sits immediately north of the Mayflower Way condo buildings, but by road it is about 1.6 miles and 6 minutes from 5702 Mayflower Way because the route leaves through the Del Webb Naples roads (OpenStreetMap routing, OSRM, 2 October 2026). The Master Association lists it as residents only, dawn to dusk (Ave Maria Master Association, South Park). We could not find a published walking route between the two, or public information on the park’s lighting and event schedule, so a buyer who cares about either should visit on a weekend evening.

The 2026 Ave Maria expansion and Camp Keais Road

Collier County approved a major expansion of the Ave Maria receiving area on 10 June 2026, with commissioners voting 4 to 1. It adds 2,042 acres and up to 6,738 more homes, and “The next phase is expected to take another 20 years.” It includes “a roughly 1,000-acre community for residents 55 and older east of Camp Keais Road” and road work along Camp Keais Road with a roundabout at Pope John Paul II Boulevard (Gulfshore Business, June 2026). Camp Keais Road parcels at Mayflower Way’s latitude sit about 1.4 to 1.6 miles east (Collier County parcel layer, our calculation), so the new 55+ area will be a future source of competing age-restricted homes, not a next-door neighbor.

Permits and association approval

Mayflower Way is in unincorporated Collier County, so building permits come through Collier County’s Building Plan Review. For a condominium unit, the association’s approval under the condominium declaration, and the Del Webb Naples architectural process where it applies, come first. Garages may not be converted to living space under s. 5.5 of the Mayflower Way Declaration, and window or wall air conditioners are prohibited under s. 9.12 (Mayflower Way Declaration).

What Is Daily Life Like at Mayflower Way: Gate, Utilities, Trash and Drive Times?

Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples sits inside the gated Del Webb Naples village, takes electric from LCEC and water and sewer from the Ave Maria Utility Company, gets bulk cable through the Del Webb Naples Community Association and Collier County curbside trash twice a week. Panther Run Golf Club is about 3 minutes away, Publix about 8 and Naples about an hour.

Gate and roads

Del Webb Naples is a gated village: the Del Webb Naples Community Association’s 2026 Approved Budget carries $65,000 for “Gate Systems & Gatehouse repairs”, and its reserve sheet carries the gate systems and gatehouse (DWNCA 2026 Approved Budget; DWNCA 2026 reserves sheet). We could not find a published statement of gate staffing or of which gate Mayflower Way residents use. The community association maintains the roads: the Section IV budget notes “The Del Webb Naples Community Association Inc. is responsible for the maintenance of roads”, so the condo budgets carry no pavement reserve (Section IV 2025 Approved Budget). The Mayflower Way pool campus has its own key-fob gate (Recreation Rules).

Utilities

Cable through the community association

The Del Webb Naples Community Association ratified a new Comcast agreement on 17 September 2025 that lowered the cable fee, and its 2026 budget shows a quarterly cable charge of $240.00, down from $258.00 (DWNCA, 17 September 2025 special board minutes). Neither Mayflower Way condo budget has a cable line; the charge is part of the community association’s social assessment, billed to the owner directly.

Trash and recycling

Collier County’s collection-day layer returns, at Mayflower Way: garbage Monday and Thursday, recycling Monday, yard waste Monday and bulk pickup Monday, in District 2 (Collier County collection days layer; Collier County residential collections). A 2013 amendment to the Mayflower Way Declaration (OR 4967 PG 566) requires carts to be stored “inside a closed garage except for the days when there is curbside garbage pickup”, put out no sooner than the morning of pickup and brought back in by that evening (2013 amendment).

Drive times from Mayflower Way

We computed these on 2 October 2026 from 5702 Mayflower Way (Section I) with free-flow, no-traffic road data (OpenStreetMap routing, OSRM, 2 October 2026), so treat every figure as “about”; peak-season traffic adds time. From Section III or IV the numbers move by a minute or less. The route to the interstate runs out through the Del Webb roads to Ave Maria Boulevard, Oil Well Road and Immokalee Road, and Mayflower Way is about a mile closer to I-75 than Terrace Condominiums at The National (23.4 miles, about 40 minutes, same method).

Healthcare distances

The nearest hospitals by road are NCH North Naples Hospital at about 25 miles and 43 minutes and Physicians Regional Pine Ridge at about 26 miles and 44 minutes, with NCH Baker in downtown Naples at about 35 miles and 57 minutes (OpenStreetMap routing, OSRM, 2 October 2026). The developer lists a walk-in clinic in Ave Maria Town Center (Ave Maria, Recreation and Amenities); we could not find its name and hours in a primary source. For anyone with regular appointments in Naples, the drive is the trade-off for living this far inland.

Golf carts, transit and mail

Golf carts are allowed at Mayflower Way but must be kept in the enclosed garage, “subject to Del Webb at Ave Maria Rules and Regulations” (Mayflower Way Declaration s. 9.7(A)), and town-wide registration runs through the Master Association office with an insurance certificate, an inspection and a $2.00 sticker (Ave Maria Master Association, golf cart registration). Collier Area Transit Route 28 serves Ave Maria with a stop in front of the Publix entrance (Ave Maria Master Association, helpful links). We could not find a published description of how mail is delivered on Mayflower Way, so ask the seller where the unit’s mailbox is.

How Does Mayflower Way Compare With Other Homes in Del Webb Naples and Ave Maria?

Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples is the only condominium product inside Ave Maria’s gated 55+ village, and its recorded prices sit well below the village as a whole: 16 sales at a $269,500 median from May 2025 to April 2026, against $485,500 across all Del Webb Naples homes in a slightly later window.

Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files, extract dated 29 August 2026; each row carries its own window)

The yardstick in the table below is one measure, recorded qualified sales and their medians, split into builder-direct closings and resales, all from the Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files. The windows are not identical, and each row names its own: Mayflower Way’s windows end at its newest qualified sale, 28 April 2026, while the other rows end at the newest sale in their own county analysis. Read the table as a price ladder, not as a same-month comparison.

Sources: Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files, as compiled for this page, for our Del Webb Naples village guide and for our guides to Terrace Condominiums at The National, Veranda at The National and Coach Homes at The National. Builder-direct means the unit’s first qualified sale within a year of the year built; everything else is a resale. For Veranda, a unit’s first recorded transfer counts as the Lennar sale, matching our Veranda guide.

No villa-only or single-family-only median for Del Webb Naples exists in the county analysis behind this page, so we do not print one. The fair Del Webb comparison for a Mayflower Way owner is by fee structure and ownership form, which the next section sets out.

Del Webb Naples, the village around Mayflower Way

Del Webb Naples is Pulte’s gated 55+ village in Ave Maria, budgeted for 2,449 homes at build-out, and Mayflower Way’s 112 carriage homes are the village’s only condominiums (DWNCA 2026 Approved Budget). The village’s 96 recorded sales from August 2025 to July 2026 carried a $485,500 median, and its 43 resales a $425,000 median, about $145,000 above Mayflower Way’s own five resales in its twelve-month window. Del Webb is still building elsewhere in the village, with new homes listed from $299,990 in September 2026 on the Del Webb Naples community page, while the carriage-home collection showed “Sold Out” on 17 November 2025 (Del Webb, archived 17 November 2025). For the whole village, see our guides to buy a home in Del Webb Naples, sell my home in Del Webb Naples and the Del Webb Naples home valuation.

Del Webb Naples villas

A Del Webb Naples villa shares Mayflower Way’s gate, clubhouses, age rule and social assessment, but it is owned fee simple with no condominium association. The DWNCA budget bills villas and houses a lawn “series” on top of the $859.80 quarterly social assessment: Quad, the attached four-plex villas, $358.35 a quarter including a termite bond; Garden $354.12; Classic $403.32; Estate $433.35 (DWNCA 2026 Approved Budget). The villa owner insures the whole structure and its roof. Mayflower Way owners pay no lawn series, because their lawns run through the Mayflower Way Recreation Association’s own landscape contract.

Terrace Condominiums at The National

Terrace Condominiums at The National is Lennar’s four-story condominium with an elevator in each building, 420 units in Ave Maria’s gated golf community, and it recorded the lowest prices on this ladder: 22 resales at a $231,000 median from September 2025 to August 2026. Because its buildings are four habitable stories, Florida’s structural integrity reserve study and milestone inspection laws reach them (s. 718.112, Florida Statutes; s. 553.899). Mayflower Way’s two-story buildings fall outside both laws by their own terms. Terrace has no age restriction, so the two products draw different buyer pools.

Veranda at The National

Veranda at The National is the closest physical match to Mayflower Way in Ave Maria: Lennar’s two-story buildings of 12 or 16 single-level condominiums, each with a one-car garage, three plans from 1,355 to 1,569 square feet, and a sold-out collection on 2 October 2026 (Lennar, Veranda at The National). Its 12 resales recorded a $317,500 median from September 2025 to August 2026. Veranda is all ages, its recorded declarations allow up to 12 leases a year against Mayflower Way’s 4, and golf is set building by building: Veranda IV and V declarations state golf membership “is not appurtenant” to their units.

Coach Homes at The National

Coach Homes at The National are Lennar’s four-unit, two-story buildings: a first-floor Arrowhead of 1,741 square feet and a second-floor Bay Creek of 2,110 square feet, each with three bedrooms and a two-car garage (Lennar, Coach Homes). They are larger than any Mayflower Way plan and recorded higher prices: 28 Lennar closings at a $319,000 median and 5 resales at $425,000 from September 2025 to August 2026. Unlike Mayflower Way, Coach Homes are not sold out; Lennar listed four move-in-ready homes from $279,997 to $324,998 on 2 October 2026, so a Coach resale still competes with the builder.

Silverwood at Maple Ridge

Silverwood at Maple Ridge is not a condominium and not age-restricted, but it is the clearest flood-map contrast in Ave Maria: 617 of its 635 parcels touch FEMA’s Special Flood Hazard Area. Mayflower Way is the opposite case: FEMA maps all 14 building centers in Zone X on panel 12021C0255H, effective 16 May 2012 (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, queried 2 October 2026), although the AE and AH zones run along the lakes a few feet from several buildings, so the lender’s flood determination for the specific building decides.

Other Ave Maria villages

Buyers who are not limited to a 55+ village usually also look at The National Golf and Country Club, the gated Lennar golf village that holds Terrace, Veranda and Coach Homes; Maple Ridge at Ave Maria, CC Homes’ single-family village with its own club; and Avalon Park, Pulte’s all-ages neighborhood by the town center. Each is a detached-home or all-ages alternative to Mayflower Way rather than a like-for-like one, and each has its own guide with its own recorded sales.

Mayflower Way Carriage Home vs a Del Webb Naples Villa: Which Should You Choose?

Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples and a Del Webb Naples villa share one gate, one age rule, the Oasis Club and the same $859.80 quarterly social assessment. The difference is ownership: a carriage home is a condominium unit whose association insures and maintains the building, while a villa is fee simple and its owner insures the structure.

A Mayflower Way carriage home is a unit under Chapter 718 of the Florida Statutes, inside a building the condominium association insures as originally installed, with the unit owner insuring floor, wall and ceiling coverings, fixtures, appliances and personal property (s. 718.111, Florida Statutes). A Del Webb Naples villa has no condominium layer; the DWNCA’s lawn series covers landscaping, and the Quad series also carries a termite bond (DWNCA 2026 Approved Budget).

Sources: DWNCA 2026 Approved Budget; Mayflower Way Section III 2026 Approved Budget; Mayflower Way Section IV 2025 Approved Budget; Mayflower Way Declaration, OR 4302 PG 3006; DWNCA Governing Documents; Panther Run golf membership plan; Del Webb Naples; Ave Maria, 12 June 2017.

How the yearly association bills compare

On 2026 figures, a Section III carriage home pays $5,548.00 to its condominium association and $3,439.20 to the DWNCA, $8,987.20 a year in association charges before the Master Association assessment, which is not published in any primary source we found. A Quad villa pays the DWNCA $1,218.15 a quarter, or $4,872.60 a year. The carriage home looks about $4,114.60 a year dearer, but the Section III budget’s own per-unit lines show what that buys: building insurance $1,417.00, water and sewer $1,250.00, the Recreation Association (pool campus and landscaping) $1,445.36, roof reserve $277.78, paint reserve $200.00, fire alarm monitoring $166.50, building maintenance $133.50 and common electricity $83.50, which add to $4,973.64 (our arithmetic from the Section III 2026 budget). A villa owner pays water and sewer to Ave Maria Utility Company directly and buys a policy for the whole structure. Both owners also pay the Ave Maria Stewardship Community District on the tax bill; for a Section III carriage home that is $1,514.22 under the FY 2026-27 budget (AMSCD FY 2026-27 final budget), and a villa’s line depends on its own bond series.

How maintenance and insurance differ

The condominium model moves the roof, the exterior paint and the building’s master insurance into the association’s budget. The Section III 2026 and Section IV 2025 reserve schedules each carry, per eight-unit building, a $40,000 roof replacement on a 20-year life and $8,000 of exterior paint on a 7-year life (Section III 2026 reserves; Section IV 2025 reserves). The carriage-home owner’s own HO-6 policy must include at least $2,000 of loss assessment coverage (s. 627.714, Florida Statutes). The trade-off is control: a villa owner chooses the roofer and the carrier, while a Mayflower Way owner votes with seven neighbors in the building and the rest of the section.

Choose Mayflower Way if

You want the lowest price into Del Webb Naples, with resales recorded at a $280,000 median from May 2025 to April 2026 against $425,000 for village resales in a slightly later window. Choose it if you want lock-and-leave ownership where the association handles the roof, paint, building insurance and lawns, a private pool campus a short walk from your door, and a one-car garage. It suits a buyer who is comfortable sharing walls and, on the second floor, a staircase.

Choose a Del Webb Naples villa if

You want fee-simple ownership, no condominium board between you and your roof, no unit above or below you, and the option of buying new from Del Webb with a warranty. Expect a higher purchase price and the full cost of insuring the structure. Ask for the villa’s series assessment and its AMSCD line, which differ by neighborhood within the village.

Mayflower Way vs an All-Ages Condo at The National: Which Fits You?

Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples and the condominiums at The National are Ave Maria’s two condo choices. Mayflower Way is two-story and 55+ by occupancy, with optional golf and four leases a year; Terrace, Veranda and Coach Homes are all ages, with golf set by building and up to 12 leases a year at Veranda and Coach Homes.

Sources: DWNCA Governing Documents; Mayflower Way Declaration; Section III Declaration of Condominium, OR 6256 PG 3292, through the Collier County Clerk’s Official Records search; the recorded Veranda and Coach Homes declarations (Lennar Homes LLC, Collier County Official Records); Lennar, Veranda and Lennar, Coach Homes, fetched 2 October 2026; FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer; Collier County hurricane evacuation zones; Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files. Where our research for this page does not cover a Terrace rule, the cell says n/a and our Terrace guide has the answer.

Who can live there

Mayflower Way’s age rule is about occupancy, not ownership. The Amended and Restated Del Webb Naples Declaration requires every occupied unit to be occupied by at least one person aged 55 or older and limits anyone under 19 to 90 days of residence in any 12 months, written to comply with the Housing for Older Persons Act (DWNCA Governing Documents; 42 U.S.C. 3607). The National’s condominiums carry no such rule. That difference shapes who buys and rents each product, and both are lawful under federal and Florida fair housing law.

Stories, elevators and Florida’s condo safety laws

Florida’s structural integrity reserve study applies to condominium buildings “three habitable stories or higher”, and the milestone inspection to buildings three habitable stories or more (s. 718.112; s. 553.899). Mayflower Way, Veranda and Coach Homes are two-story and fall outside both; Terrace’s four-story elevator buildings fall inside. Del Webb sold every Mayflower Way building as first-floor and second-floor carriage homes, so the buildings are two stories, and a second-floor owner should plan on stairs; no published Del Webb material we found describes an elevator.

Golf and membership

At Mayflower Way golf is a choice made by the owner: a Panther Run Golf Club membership adds $712.56 a quarter in 2026, within a cap of 600 memberships (Panther Run golf membership plan; DWNCA 2026 budget). At The National the recorded documents decide: Coach Homes I to III were submitted to the golf club declaration with mandatory membership, Coach Homes IV and Veranda IV and V state golf membership “is not appurtenant” to their units, and a resale buyer confirms the specific unit on the estoppels.

Fees at The National vs Mayflower Way

The only Coach Homes fee schedule published is Lennar’s 2026 Coach Homes IV non-golf sheet, dated 30 December 2025: $11,286.00 a year ($940.50 a month) in association charges, including the Master Association, the National property owners association, cable, the condominium assessment and a $750 food and beverage minimum. A Section III carriage home’s comparable figure is $8,987.20 a year before the Master Association, which is not published. On the tax bill, Coach Homes’ FY 2026-27 district totals are $1,963.64 or $2,044.51, against $1,387.20 to $1,514.22 for Mayflower Way (AMSCD FY 2026-27 final budget). Veranda’s current condominium budgets are not published; each owner board sets them, and the estoppel states the figure.

Choose Mayflower Way if

A resident of your household is 55 or older and you want an age-qualified village with two clubhouses, a full-time Lifestyle Director and your own small pool campus; you want golf as an option rather than a bundle; and you prefer a FEMA map that puts every building center in Zone X. You give up a third bedroom on the first floor (only the second-floor Spoonbill and Cormorant flex rooms can serve as one) and the freedom to lease more than four times a year.

Choose a condo at The National if

You want an all-ages community, a social membership bundled into the fees, which is how Lennar describes Veranda and today’s Coach Homes, a two-car garage and three bedrooms in a Coach Home, a garage condo at Veranda, or the lowest entry price and an elevator at Terrace. Investors who want more than four leases a year will find The National’s 12-lease limit more flexible.

What Are the Honest Pros and Cons of Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples?

Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples brings the lowest price into Del Webb Naples, Zone X building centers, two-story buildings outside Florida’s SIRS law and a private pool campus, against a layered fee stack of about $10,500 a year, unpublished budgets for two sections, a four-lease yearly cap and thin, slow-moving sales.

Pros

• The lowest recorded price into Del Webb Naples. Mayflower Way’s five resales from May 2025 to April 2026 recorded a $280,000 median, against $425,000 for the village’s 43 resales from August 2025 to July 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files). The windows differ, and the gap is still about $145,000.
• No builder to compete with. Del Webb showed every carriage plan “Sold Out” on 17 November 2025, closed its last Mayflower Way unit on 1 December 2025 and had removed the collection from its site by 14 January 2026 (Del Webb, archived 14 January 2026). Every sale from here is owner to owner.
• Owners who bought earlier have gained. Of the 30 Mayflower Way resales since 1 January 2021 that have an earlier qualified sale on the county roll, the median change was +28.9 percent, and 4 of 30 sold below the prior price; all three twelve-month resale pairs sold higher, at a median of +17.8 percent (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files).
• Every building center maps to Zone X. FEMA’s flood layer puts all 14 building centers in Zone X on panel 12021C0255H, effective 16 May 2012, and the ground at those centers sits at 22.5 to 23.7 feet against nearby Base Flood Elevation lines of 21.0 feet NAVD88 (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer; USGS Elevation Point Query Service). Citizens does not require flood coverage on a condominium unit-owner policy (s. 627.351, Florida Statutes).
• Two stories, so no SIRS or milestone inspection. Both laws start at three habitable stories (s. 718.112; s. 553.899), while the budgets still reserve for roofs and paint.
• Two pool options. The Mayflower Way pool campus has a pool, hot tub, cabana bath house, two grills and Wi-Fi, open dawn to dusk (Mayflower Way Recreation Rules), and owners also use the Oasis Club, Grand Hall, the 8,000 square foot resort pool and 12 lighted pickleball courts (Del Webb Naples).
• Lock-and-leave upkeep. Lawns, the pool campus, building insurance, roof and paint reserves and water and sewer sit inside the condo fee (Section III 2026 budget), and bulk cable comes through the DWNCA at $240.00 a quarter.
• Golf is optional. Panther Run, an 18-hole, par-72 course of 7,532 yards about three minutes away, is an add-on at $712.56 a quarter, not a required bundle.
• Leasing is allowed. Whole-unit leases of at least 30 days, up to four a calendar year (Mayflower Way Declaration s. 12.2), with a resident aged 55 or older in the tenant household.

Cons

• A layered fee stack. A Section III owner pays about $10,501.42 a year under the 2026 budgets and the FY 2026-27 district budget, before property tax and the Master Association assessment, which no primary source publishes (AMSCD FY 2026-27 final budget; DWNCA 2026 budget).
• Two sections publish no budget. Sections I and II are 24-unit associations managed by RealManage, below the 25-unit website threshold of s. 718.111(12), so their fees come from the estoppel and the records request.
• Developer influence lasts a while. The 2025 Section IV and Recreation budgets state that the developer deficit-funds operations and will not fund reserves (Recreation 2025 budget), and Pulte controls the DWNCA until 31 December 2030 at the latest.
• Stairs on the second floor. Spoonbill and Cormorant owners climb a flight, and no published Del Webb material we found describes an elevator.
• Edges of the flood zone. The AE and AH zones run along the lakes a few feet from several buildings, and three building outlines (5682, 5683 and 5690 Mayflower Way) clip the high-risk area, so the lender’s determination and an Elevation Certificate decide.
• A tighter leasing cap than The National. Four leases a year here against twelve at Veranda and Coach Homes.
• Thin, lumpy sales. Only five resales in the twelve months to April 2026, and no qualified Mayflower Way sale was recorded from May through August 2026, so any single sale moves the median.
• A smaller buyer pool by rule. Every occupied unit needs a resident aged 55 or older, which a seller plans for in pricing and marketing.
• Distance. About 37 minutes to I-75 at Exit 111, 43 minutes to NCH North Naples Hospital and an hour to RSW from 5702 Mayflower Way, without traffic (OpenStreetMap routing, OSRM, 2 October 2026).
• Later Del Webb buyers face lower comparisons. Del Webb’s builder-direct median fell from $357,750 in 2023 to $278,500 in 2025 (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files), so a 2023 or 2024 buyer resells against cheaper recent closings.

Recent Mayflower Way sold stats

From May 2025 to April 2026, the twelve months ending at the newest qualified Mayflower Way sale, the county recorded 16 Mayflower Way closings at a $269,500 median: 11 were Del Webb’s last builder-direct closings, all in Section IV, at a $260,000 median, and 5 were resales totaling $1,384,500 at a $280,000 median, from $212,500 to $335,000 (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files; the dollar total is our arithmetic). Five resales are too few for a median to carry much weight, so we list every one below.

The first window with ten or more resales is 24 months: 11 resales from May 2024 to April 2026 at a $287,000 median, from $212,500 to $396,300. Over 36 months there were 14 resales at $309,450, and since the first closing in November 2007 the roll shows 53 resales against 98 builder-direct sales.

The county record carries no list price and no days on market; on the Southwest Florida MLS, the 10 Mayflower Way closings with a listing period in the 12 months to 16 October 2026 took a median 373.5 days and sold at a median 94.4 percent of the final list price, a days-on-market figure lifted by Del Webb’s closeout units (see “Mayflower Way on the MLS” above). We read both again from current listings when we prepare your valuation. Ask us and we will walk you through each Mayflower Way deed and listing behind these figures.

Three of the five have an earlier qualified sale on the roll: #204 bought for $195,000 on 9 April 2018 and resold 43.6 percent higher; #307 bought for $190,000 on 14 January 2021 and resold 11.8 percent higher; #608 bought for $284,500 on 5 July 2023 and resold 17.8 percent higher. Our team has paired every Mayflower Way resale since 2021 with the unit’s earlier recorded price: 30 pairs, a +28.9 percent median, and 4 of 30 below the prior price.

What makes selling at Mayflower Way different

Selling at Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples is not generic Ave Maria selling. These are the points that set your price, your marketing and your closing timeline, and each sits on a public record.

• No For Sale sign. On condominium units, no owner other than the developer may post “For Sale”, “For Rent” or “Open House” signs (Mayflower Way Declaration s. 9.2, OR 4302 PG 3027, DWNCA library copy). Your marketing lives in the MLS, in photography and in our buyer network.
• A 55+ buyer pool. Ownership is not age-restricted, but every occupied unit needs at least one resident aged 55 or older under the Del Webb Naples Declaration, Art. XVI s. 30 (DWNCA Governing Documents). We market to qualified buyers and explain the rule plainly, without steering anyone by age or family status.
• Up to four estoppel certificates. Your condominium association under s. 718.116, and the Recreation Association, the DWNCA and the Ave Maria Master Association under s. 720.30851. The statute caps the base fee at $299 when nothing is delinquent, plus $119 to expedite; each association’s form states its actual fee. We order them early.
• The condominium disclosure package. A resale seller delivers the declaration, articles, bylaws, rules, the latest budget and annual financial statement and the other items s. 718.503 lists. The Mayflower Way Declaration has been amended several times, most recently in 2025 (OR 6493 PG 707), so include the current text.
• The district disclosure. The Mayflower Way Declaration s. 2.3 requires the Ave Maria Stewardship Community District disclosure in every sales contract, and the unit’s own tax bill shows its FY 2026-27 district total of $1,387.20, $1,479.20 or $1,514.22 (AMSCD FY 2026-27 final budget).
• Resale against resale. With Del Webb sold out, your competition is other Mayflower Way owners, Del Webb’s new villas and The National’s condominiums, including Coach Homes that Lennar is still selling from $279,997 (2 October 2026).
• Floor and section set the band. Since 2021, Heron resales recorded $309,450 on 8 sales and Spoonbill resales $335,000 on 7; Section I’s 2007 units, an earlier and slightly smaller version of the same layout, resold at $246,250 on two sales in the latest twelve months against $302,500 for two Section III resales (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files).
• Flood is a building-by-building disclosure. All 14 building centers are Zone X, but 5682, 5683 and 5690 Mayflower Way clip the high-risk area along the lakes (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer). Have your flood history and any Elevation Certificate ready.
• Title custom in Collier County. The buyer customarily pays for the owner’s title policy and chooses the closing agent; your contract controls. The seller pays documentary stamp tax on the deed at $0.70 per $100 of price (s. 201.02, Florida Statutes).

Will I get back what I paid for my Mayflower Way home?

It depends on when you bought. Owners who bought from Del Webb from 2018 to 2021, when builder medians ran $204,000 to $234,550, have resold well above their price; the three resale pairs in the latest twelve months gained 11.8 to 43.6 percent. Owners who bought in 2023 or 2024, when builder medians were $357,750 and $339,500, compete with 2025 closings at $278,500 (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files).

Which homes will buyers compare with my Mayflower Way carriage home?

Three groups: other Mayflower Way resales, Del Webb’s new homes in the same village (listed from $299,990 in September 2026 on Del Webb Naples), and the two-story condominiums at The National, where Lennar listed Coach Homes from $279,997 on 2 October 2026 and Veranda resales recorded a $317,500 median. Your listing should show what a Mayflower Way unit offers that they do not: Zone X building centers, the private pool campus and optional golf.

What fee figure do I give a buyer for a Section I or Section II unit?

The figure on your estoppel certificate. Sections I and II are 24-unit associations managed by RealManage, below the 25-unit threshold that requires a posted website under s. 718.111(12), so their budgets are not public. Request your association’s current budget as an owner, put it in the disclosure package, and never let a listing borrow the Section III or IV figure.

Does the age of my building’s roof matter to a buyer?

It matters less than it does for a house, because the roof sits on the association’s master policy and in its reserve schedule, not on your HO-6 policy. The Section III 2026 and Section IV 2025 reserve schedules carry a $40,000 roof replacement per building on a 20-year life (Section III 2026 reserves). Section I roofs date from 2007, so Section I buyers will ask about the association’s reserves and any planned special assessment.

Do I need a structural integrity reserve study or milestone report to sell?

No. Both requirements apply to condominium buildings of three or more habitable stories (s. 718.112; s. 553.899), and Mayflower Way’s buildings are two stories. You still deliver the s. 718.503 resale documents, and buyers comparing Mayflower Way with four-story Terrace often see this as a plus.

Will the 2026 Ave Maria expansion affect my sale?

Possibly, over time. On 10 June 2026 the Collier County Commission voted 4 to 1 to add 2,042 acres and up to 6,738 homes to Ave Maria, including a roughly 1,000-acre 55+ community east of Camp Keais Road, about 1.5 miles or more east of Mayflower Way (Gulfshore Business, June 2026). New 55+ homes there would be future competition for the same buyers; nothing in that approval changes Mayflower Way’s own documents.

Frequently Asked Questions, Buyer Edition

Buyers ask us the same core questions about Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples, the 112-home carriage-home condominium enclave in Ave Maria. Each answer below draws on the recorded declarations, the associations’ own posted budgets, the Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files, FEMA’s flood map, Del Webb’s published plans and Florida law.

Who is the best realtor for buying a Mayflower Way carriage home?

McGreevy and Comisar, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008 and the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012.

Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 or read how we represent buyers in Southwest Florida.

What is a carriage home at Del Webb Naples?

At Mayflower Way, a carriage home is one of eight condominium units in a two-story building, each with its own one-car attached garage and screened lanai. Del Webb sold every building as first-floor and second-floor carriage homes: Heron and Egret on the first floor, Spoonbill and Cormorant on the second, as listed in the developer’s June 2017 carriage-home release. Del Webb later described the series as “condominium-style carriage homes” for a low-maintenance life (Del Webb, archived September 2021).

Is a Mayflower Way carriage home a condo?

Yes. Every Mayflower Way unit is a condominium unit under Chapter 718, Florida Statutes, inside one of four recorded condominiums: Section I (Official Records Book 4302, Page 3066), Section II (OR 5580 PG 3531), Section III (OR 6256 PG 3292) and Section IV (OR 6279 PG 1197), registered with the state as projects PR74606, PR76604, PR76970 and PR77086 (DBPR condominium extract). You own the unit and a share of the common elements, as s. 718.103, Florida Statutes defines them.

How is a carriage home different from a Del Webb Naples villa or single-family home?

A Del Webb Naples villa or single-family home is fee simple: you own the lot and the whole structure, insure all of it, and pay the Del Webb Naples Community Association social assessment plus a lawn “home series” assessment (Quad villas $358.35 a quarter in 2026). A Mayflower Way owner instead owns a condominium unit, the condo association insures the building, and the condo fee carries the Mayflower Way Recreation Association’s landscaping and pool. Both pay the $859.80 quarterly social assessment (DWNCA 2026 Approved Budget).

Is a condo association the same as an HOA?

No, and Mayflower Way has both. Each of the four section associations is a condominium association governed by Chapter 718. The Mayflower Way Recreation Association, the Del Webb Naples Community Association and the Ave Maria Master Association are homeowners’ associations governed by Chapter 720, which the Mayflower Way Declaration (OR 4302 PG 3006, s. 1.1) names as its governing act. Records rights differ too: s. 718.111(12) for the condos and s. 720.303 for the HOAs.

What fees does a Mayflower Way owner pay?

Five layers. The section condo fee: Section III $1,387.00 a quarter (2026), Section IV $1,317.63 (2025, the latest posted), Sections I and II from the estoppel. The Recreation Association fee ($357.66 a quarter in 2025) is already inside the condo fee. The Del Webb Naples Community Association social assessment is $859.80 a quarter in 2026. The district assessment for fiscal 2026-27 is $1,387.20 to $1,514.22 a year on the tax bill. The Ave Maria Master Association amount is not published; the estoppel states it (Section III 2026 budget; AMSCD FY 2026-27 budget).

What does a Mayflower Way carriage home cost to own each year?

Before property tax and the Master Association assessment, a Section III unit runs about $10,501.42 a year (about $875 a month): $5,548.00 condo fee, $3,439.20 Del Webb Naples social assessment and $1,514.22 district assessment for fiscal 2026-27. A Section IV unit on its 2025 condo rate runs about $10,223.96 (about $852 a month). Sections I and II add their condo fee from the estoppel to $3,439.20 and a district charge of $1,387.20 or $1,479.20 (DWNCA 2026 budget; Section IV 2025 budget).

What is included in the Del Webb Naples HOA fee?

The 2026 social assessment of $859.80 a quarter is $574.80 operating, $240.00 bulk Comcast cable and $45.00 reserve. It funds the Oasis Club and Grand Hall, the resort and lap pools, courts, the gatehouse and gate systems ($65,000 budgeted for repairs in 2026), lakes and the village roads, according to the DWNCA 2026 Approved Budget. Carriage homes pay no lawn series: that budget’s four lawn series add to 2,337 homes, leaving exactly 112 social-only homes of its 2,449-home basis, the Mayflower Way count. Confirm on the estoppel.

Does the Mayflower Way condo fee include the pool and landscaping?

Yes, through the Recreation Association line in each condo budget. The Recreation Association’s 2025 budget of $160,233 pays a $47,000 landscape contract, a $10,000 pool contract, $14,000 of propane, $15,000 of insurance and $15,000 of pooled reserves for all 112 homes. The Section III condo budget then adds building insurance ($1,417.00 per unit a year), water and sewer ($1,250.00), fire alarm monitoring, building maintenance, and roof and paint reserves.

Is golf included in a Mayflower Way home?

No. Golf at Panther Run Golf Club (18 holes, par 72) is optional for every Del Webb Naples home. A golf membership adds $712.56 a quarter in 2026, according to the DWNCA 2026 Approved Budget, and the Panther Run membership plan caps memberships at 600. From 5702 Mayflower Way the clubhouse is about 0.6 miles, about 3 minutes without traffic (OpenStreetMap routing, OSRM, 2 Oct 2026).

Can someone under 55 live at Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples?

Yes, with a qualifying occupant. The Amended and Restated Del Webb Naples Declaration, Art. XVI s. 30 (OR 4621 PG 250 to 251), requires every occupied unit to be occupied by at least one person aged 55 or older, so a spouse or partner under 55 may live with a resident who is 55 or older. Ownership is not age-restricted; occupancy is (DWNCA Governing Documents). The rule is written to the federal Housing for Older Persons Act, 42 U.S.C. 3607(b).

Can my adult child live with me at Mayflower Way?

The age rule itself requires one occupant aged 55 or older in every occupied unit and bars anyone under 19 from residing more than 90 days in any 12 months (DWNCA Governing Documents, Art. XVI s. 30). It sets no separate rule for adult children aged 19 or older living with a qualifying parent. Condo occupancy limits still apply: the Section III declaration allows one family per unit and no more than two persons per bedroom (s. 12.1, OR 6256 PG 3320). Sections I, II and IV follow their own declarations.

Can grandchildren visit or stay at Mayflower Way?

Yes, as visitors. Under the Del Webb Naples Declaration, no one under 19 may reside in a unit more than 90 days in any 12 months, and the Section III condo declaration requires that occupants under 18 be supervised by an adult (s. 12.2, OR 6256 PG 3320). At the Mayflower Way pool, up to six house guests may use the campus at a time, registered with the HOA office 48 hours ahead (Mayflower Way Recreation Rules). The Oasis Club Rules set the village clubhouse guest limits.

Can I rent out a Mayflower Way carriage home?

Yes, within limits. The Mayflower Way Declaration s. 12.2 (OR 4302 PG 3034) allows only entire units to be leased, for at least 30 days, no more than four times a calendar year, with no time-share use. The Section III condo declaration (s. 13.1 to 13.3) adds a one-year maximum term, no subleasing, 20 days’ notice with a copy of the lease, and a 10-night monthly cap on a tenant’s overnight guests. A tenant household still needs a resident aged 55 or older. The declaration was amended in 2025 (OR 6493 PG 707), so read the current text.

Can I buy a Mayflower Way unit for my parents or as an investment?

Yes. The Del Webb Naples age rule restricts occupancy, not ownership, so an adult child, a trust or a company can hold title as long as the unit is occupied by at least one person aged 55 or older. The Mayflower Way Declaration s. 12.1 requires co-owners other than spouses, and entity or trust owners, to designate two Primary Occupants, changed no more than once in 12 months. Leasing follows the 30-day, four-per-year limits in s. 12.2.

What floor plans are in Mayflower Way?

Del Webb’s four Mayflower Way plans, per its 2017 release: Heron, first-floor interior, 1,457 air-conditioned square feet, 2 bedrooms plus flex room, 2 baths; Egret, first-floor end, 1,538; Spoonbill, second-floor end, 1,815, flex room or third bedroom; Cormorant, second-floor interior, 1,868, flex room or third bedroom and 2.5 baths. Every plan has a one-car attached garage and screened lanai (Del Webb Cormorant plan, archived August 2019). The 2007 Section I buildings use an earlier, slightly smaller version of the same layout.

Which Mayflower Way units have no stairs?

The first-floor plans: Heron (interior) and Egret (end), in positions 02, 03, 06 and 07 of every building in Sections II to IV, so unit #403 is a Heron and #402 an Egret. Spoonbill and Cormorant units sit on the second floor. Del Webb’s archived plan pages for the Heron and Egret show the ground-floor layouts. Del Webb did not publish whether any building has an elevator, so ask about stair access at the showing.

Can I still buy a new carriage home from Del Webb?

No. Del Webb showed all four carriage plans “Sold Out” on 17 November 2025 (Del Webb, archived 17 November 2025) and had removed the collection by 14 January 2026 (Del Webb, archived 14 January 2026). The last builder-direct closing recorded on the Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files was 1 December 2025 at 5689 Mayflower Way. Every Mayflower Way purchase now is a resale. Del Webb still sells villas and single-family homes elsewhere in Del Webb Naples.

What do Mayflower Way carriage homes sell for?

From May 2025 to April 2026, the Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files record 16 qualified Mayflower Way sales at a $269,500 median: 11 Del Webb builder-direct closings at $260,000 and 5 resales at $280,000, from $212,500 to $335,000. Over 24 months, 11 resales recorded a $287,000 median. The highest resale on record is $396,300 for a Spoonbill in June 2024. The newest qualified sale in the county record is 28 April 2026; no qualified sale was recorded from May through August 2026. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 for current listings.

Is Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples in a flood zone?

FEMA maps every Mayflower Way building center in Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard outside the Special Flood Hazard Area, on FIRM panel 12021C0255H, effective 16 May 2012 (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, queried 2 October 2026). But the AE and AH zones run along the lakes a few feet from several buildings: the outlines of 5682, 5683 and 5690 Mayflower Way clip the high-risk zone by small amounts. The lender’s flood determination for the specific building, and an Elevation Certificate, decide.

Do I need flood insurance on a Mayflower Way carriage home?

Federal mandatory purchase applies only to buildings in a Special Flood Hazard Area with a federally backed loan, so the lender’s flood determination for your building decides that question. Citizens does not require flood coverage for a condominium unit-owner (HO-6) policy under s. 627.351(6)(aa)3.b., Florida Statutes, confirmed in Citizens’ June 2023 bulletin. Many owners still buy it. Collier County’s Community Rating System Class 5 gives eligible NFIP policies a 25 percent discount (Collier County 2026 Flood Protection Newsletter).

Do I need HO-6 insurance, and what does the association’s policy cover?

Under s. 718.111(11), Florida Statutes, the condo association insures the building as originally installed. The unit owner insures floor, wall and ceiling coverings, fixtures, appliances, water heaters, cabinets, countertops, window treatments and personal property, usually on an HO-6 policy. A unit-owner policy must include at least $2,000 of loss assessment coverage (s. 627.714). The Section III 2026 budget spends $1,417.00 per unit on insurance. Ask for the association’s insurance certificate before you sign.

Do Florida’s SIRS and milestone inspection laws apply to Mayflower Way?

No. The structural integrity reserve study in s. 718.112(2)(g) and the milestone inspection in s. 553.899 cover buildings three habitable stories or higher, and Mayflower Way’s buildings are two stories. The budgets still reserve for roofs and paint: $40,000 per eight-unit building for roof replacement and $8,000 for paint in the Section III 2026 reserve schedule. The four-story Terrace Condominiums at The National are covered.

Is Del Webb Naples gated?

Yes. The Del Webb Naples Community Association’s 2026 Approved Budget carries $65,000 for gate systems and gatehouse repairs, and its 2026 reserves sheet carries the gate systems and gatehouse. Inside the village, the Mayflower Way pool campus has its own key-fob gate: two fobs per home, extra or replacement fobs $50 each (Mayflower Way Recreation Rules). Gate staffing hours are not published.

What is the Ave Maria Stewardship Community District charge?

The Ave Maria Stewardship Community District is a special district that builds and maintains town infrastructure and bills its assessment on the county tax bill. For fiscal 2026-27 a Mayflower Way unit pays $984.20 of operations and reserve plus a bond installment, for totals of $1,387.20, $1,479.20 or $1,514.22 depending on the bond series (AMSCD FY 2026-27 final budget). Section I sits in the $1,387.20 tier and Section III in the $1,514.22 tier on the district’s parcel roll. The tax bill for the unit is the authority.

Is Ave Maria a city, and what county is it in?

Ave Maria is a planned town in eastern Collier County, not an incorporated city. It was built as a Stewardship Receiving Area under the county’s Rural Lands Stewardship program (Collier County RLSA layer) and sits in Collier County Commission District 5 (Collier County Commissioner Districts). Town amenities run through the Ave Maria Master Association, and infrastructure through the Stewardship District. Mayflower Way’s mailing address is Ave Maria, FL 34142. Read our Ave Maria guide.

How far is Mayflower Way from Naples and the beach?

From 5702 Mayflower Way, without traffic (OpenStreetMap routing, OSRM, 2 Oct 2026): I-75 Exit 111 is about 22.2 miles and 37 minutes, NCH North Naples Hospital about 25.2 miles and 43 minutes, Naples Fifth Avenue South about 35.0 miles and 56 minutes, and Southwest Florida International Airport about 37.6 miles and 60 minutes. In a straight line the Gulf at Vanderbilt Beach is about 24.1 miles away. Inside town, Publix at the Town Center is about 2.7 miles and 8 minutes (OSRM).

Which schools serve Mayflower Way?

Del Webb Naples is a 55+ village, so schools matter mostly for resale context. Collier County Public Schools’ 2026-27 attendance zone lookup assigns all 14 Mayflower Way building addresses to Ave Maria Elementary (opened 11 August 2026, not yet graded), Corkscrew Middle (A, 2026) and Palmetto Ridge High (B, 2026), per the CCPS 2026 Accountability Brief. Confirm with CCPS Student Assignment.

Who owns Del Webb, and who built Mayflower Way?

Del Webb is a brand of PulteGroup. Pulte Home Corporation recorded the Mayflower Way Declaration in 2007 as the “Mayflower Way Developer”, and Pulte Home Company, LLC recorded the Section III Declaration of Condominium in 2023 (OR 6256 PG 3292). Del Webb sold Section I in 2007 and 2008, relaunched four redesigned plans in June 2017, and closed Sections II to IV from December 2018 to December 2025 (Ave Maria, June 2017).

What questions should I ask before buying a Florida condo at Mayflower Way?

Ask for: the section’s current budget and any special assessment; the estoppel certificates from the condo association, the Recreation Association, the Del Webb Naples Community Association and the Ave Maria Master Association (s. 718.116; s. 720.30851); the disclosure package under s. 718.503; the master insurance certificate; the lease and pet rules for your section; the district bond tier on the tax bill; the lender’s flood determination; and whether the occupants meet the 55+ rule. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 to walk through them.

Frequently Asked Questions, Seller Edition

Selling at Mayflower Way at Del Webb Naples now means selling a resale: Del Webb closed its last carriage home on 1 December 2025. These answers draw on the Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files, the recorded Mayflower Way Declaration, the associations’ posted budgets, Florida’s condominium and homeowners’ association statutes, and federal fair housing law.

Who is the best realtor to sell a Mayflower Way carriage home?

Start with a free Mayflower Way home valuation or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

What is my Mayflower Way carriage home worth in 2026?

From May 2025 to April 2026, 5 Mayflower Way resales recorded a $280,000 median, from $212,500 to $335,000, beside 11 Del Webb builder-direct closings at $260,000 (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files). Five resales is a thin sample, so we also read the 24-month window: 11 resales at a $287,000 median, from $212,500 to $396,300. Your section, floor, plan, upgrades and lake or garden outlook move you within that band. A free Mayflower Way home valuation starts from those sales.

Who is allowed to buy my Mayflower Way home?

Anyone can buy; the rule is about who lives there. The Amended and Restated Del Webb Naples Declaration, Art. XVI s. 30 (OR 4621 PG 250 to 251), requires every occupied unit to be occupied by at least one person aged 55 or older, and no one under 19 may reside more than 90 days in any 12 months (DWNCA Governing Documents). A younger buyer can purchase for a parent, as a second home kept empty, or as a rental to a qualifying tenant. Fair housing law forbids steering any buyer, so we explain the rule to everyone the same way.

Is it harder to sell a home in a 55+ community?

The buyer pool is narrower for occupancy, but the record shows Mayflower Way resales have traded steadily: 33 qualified resales since 1 January 2021, and of the 30 with a prior qualified sale on the roll, the median change was +28.9 percent, with 4 of 30 below the prior price (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files). Federal rules let a 55+ community operate under 42 U.S.C. 3607(b) when at least 80 percent of occupied units have a resident 55 or older (24 CFR 100.305), so the buyers you reach are buying the lifestyle on purpose.

How do I price my unit now that Del Webb is sold out?

You no longer compete with a builder’s price list, but buyers remember it. Del Webb’s last posted “Starting From” prices, September 2024 through November 2025, were Heron $239,990, Egret $249,990, Spoonbill $276,990 and Cormorant $279,990 (Del Webb, archived 12 September 2024), and its 22 recorded closings in 2025 had a $278,500 median (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files). Your competition now is other resales on the same street. We price against them unit by unit at a free Mayflower Way home valuation.

How did Del Webb’s final closings affect Mayflower Way prices?

They set a lower reference point in 2025. Builder-direct closings recorded a $357,750 median in 2023 (18 sales) and $339,500 in 2024 (20 sales), then $278,500 in 2025 (22 sales, $250,000 to $310,000), as Del Webb sold out Section IV (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files). Resale medians followed: $355,250 in 2024 (4 resales) and $283,500 in 2025 (6 resales). With small yearly counts, each figure is a direction, not a precise index. Since December 2025 no builder units remain to undercut a resale.

Does a first-floor or second-floor unit sell for more?

Second-floor units are larger, and the record generally pays for the space. Among resales since 2021, 7 Spoonbill units recorded a $335,000 median and 2 Cormorant units $347,500, against 8 Heron units at $309,450 and 1 Egret at $270,000 (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files). In Del Webb’s 2025 closings the order was mixed: Egret $296,000, Spoonbill $290,000, Heron $278,000, Cormorant $260,000. First-floor units appeal to buyers who want no stairs; second-floor units offer more space and no one overhead (Ave Maria, June 2017).

Does a Section I unit sell differently from the newer sections?

Yes. Section I’s three buildings were built in 2007 with an earlier, slightly smaller version of the four-position layout, while Sections II to IV were built from 2018 to 2024 with Del Webb’s redesigned Heron, Egret, Spoonbill and Cormorant plans (Ave Maria, June 2017). Section I’s two resales from May 2025 to April 2026 recorded a $246,250 median; Section III’s two recorded $302,500 (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files). Section I is also managed by RealManage, and its budget is not posted publicly, so its buyers rely on your estoppel.

Have Mayflower Way owners sold for more than they paid?

Mostly, yes. In the three resale pairs from May 2025 to April 2026, every seller sold above the prior qualified price: #204 from $195,000 (2018) to $280,000, up 43.6 percent; #307 from $190,000 (2021) to $212,500, up 11.8 percent; and #608 from $284,500 (2023) to $335,000, up 17.8 percent (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files). Since 1 January 2021, 30 resale pairs had a +28.9 percent median, and 4 of 30 sold below the prior price: two units first bought from Del Webb in 2007 and 2008, and two bought in 2022 and 2024, near the recorded peak.

How long does it take to sell a Mayflower Way carriage home?

On the Southwest Florida MLS, the 10 Mayflower Way closings with a listing period in the 12 months to 16 October 2026 took a median 373.5 days on market, but that median leans on Del Webb’s closeout units: four of its five Section IV closeout sales had been listed 355 to 474 days, while three of the five owner resales closed within 121 days. We read current and recent listings again when we prepare your valuation. Two things set your timeline more than any average: price against the most recent resales (5 from May 2025 to April 2026 at a $280,000 median, Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files) and paperwork. Condo estoppels must issue within 10 business days of request under s. 718.116(8), so order them early.

Why does the Del Webb Naples village guide show different Mayflower Way numbers?

Different windows. The Del Webb Naples village guide counts August 2025 to July 2026 and shows 11 Mayflower Way sales; this page ends its windows at the newest qualified Mayflower Way sale, April 2026, so its 12-month window runs May 2025 to April 2026 (16 sales). Both come from the Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files, and both are true for their windows. Compare the village-wide picture on our sell my home in Del Webb Naples page.

Can I put a For Sale sign on my Mayflower Way unit?

No. The Mayflower Way Declaration s. 9.2 (OR 4302 PG 3027) provides that on condominium units no owner other than the developer may post For Sale, For Rent or Open House signs. Your marketing therefore carries the load a yard sign would: listing photography, video, the MLS, our buyer database and direct outreach to Del Webb Naples buyers. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 to see the marketing plan.

Can I rent my unit seasonally while it is for sale?

Only on the declarations’ terms. The Mayflower Way Declaration s. 12.2 sets a 30-day minimum and no more than four leases per calendar year, and the Section III condo declaration requires 20 days’ notice with a copy of the lease (s. 13.1, OR 6256 PG 3323). A tenant household needs a resident aged 55 or older, and a leasing owner is presumed to pass Recreation Common Area rights to the tenant. Showings then depend on the lease’s access terms, so write them in before you sign.

Can I sell a Mayflower Way unit with a tenant in it?

Yes. A buyer generally takes title subject to the existing lease, so the lease term, rent, deposit and showing access become part of your contract. In Section III no lease may run longer than one year and no subleasing is allowed (s. 13.2, OR 6256 PG 3323); Sections I, II and IV follow their own declarations. A buyer who wants to move in will look at the lease end date first. If your buyer is an investor, the 30-day minimum and four-leases-a-year limit in the Mayflower Way Declaration s. 12.2 still apply.

How many estoppel certificates does a Mayflower Way sale need?

Up to four: one from your section’s condo association under s. 718.116(8), and one each from the Mayflower Way Recreation Association, the Del Webb Naples Community Association and the Ave Maria Master Association under s. 720.30851. Each certificate states what is owed on your unit through a date, and the closing agent pays those amounts from your proceeds. Sections I and II are managed by RealManage; Section III, Section IV and the Recreation Association by Hampton Golf, per their Sunbiz filings.

What do estoppel certificates cost, and who pays?

Florida caps each one. Under s. 718.116(8) and s. 720.30851, the fee may not exceed $299 when nothing is delinquent, plus $119 if expedited within 3 business days and up to $179 more if the account is delinquent, with the caps adjusted every five years for inflation. Certificates issue within 10 business days and stay valid 30 days, or 35 days if mailed. The managers’ actual fees are not published; each association’s request form states them. Your contract allocates who pays.

What documents must I give a Mayflower Way buyer?

Under s. 718.503(2), Florida Statutes, a non-developer seller provides, at the seller’s expense, the declaration of condominium, the association’s articles, bylaws and rules, the annual financial statement and budget, the frequently asked questions and answers sheet, the governance form, and the milestone, SIRS and turnover inspection items where they apply. The contract is voidable by the buyer by written notice within 7 days, excluding weekends and legal holidays, after signing and receiving the documents, unless the buyer received them more than 7 days before signing. Add the Mayflower Way Declaration and the Del Webb Naples documents.

Do I have to give a buyer a structural integrity reserve study?

The disclosure list in s. 718.503(2) includes the association’s most recent structural integrity reserve study or a statement that it has not completed one. Mayflower Way’s buildings are two stories, and s. 718.112(2)(g) requires a study only for buildings three habitable stories or higher, so the usual answer is the association’s statement. Ask your section’s manager for it with the rest of the package. The budgets still fund roof and paint reserves, and a buyer will read those lines.

Who pays doc stamps when I sell in Collier County?

The seller. Florida’s documentary stamp tax on the deed is $0.70 per $100 of the price under s. 201.02, Florida Statutes. On a $280,000 sale, the median of the five Mayflower Way resales from May 2025 to April 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files), that is $1,960. The tax is paid at closing from your proceeds, along with any commission you agreed to and the payoff of your own mortgage.

Who pays the owner’s title policy when I sell a Mayflower Way unit?

In Collier County the buyer customarily pays for the owner’s title insurance policy and chooses the closing agent, and the contract controls. That is why we never list the owner’s title policy as a seller cost on a Mayflower Way net sheet. If a buyer’s offer asks you to pay it, treat that as a price term and negotiate it like one. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 for a net sheet built on your contract.

What closing costs does a Mayflower Way seller pay?

The usual seller items: documentary stamp tax on the deed at $0.70 per $100 (s. 201.02); the commission per your listing agreement; estoppel fees as your contract allocates them (s. 718.116(8)); the payoff of your own mortgage; prorated property taxes and district assessments to the closing date; and any past-due association balances. The cost of copying the condo disclosure package is yours under s. 718.503(2). The buyer customarily pays the owner’s title policy in Collier County.

Can I sell my Mayflower Way unit with a special assessment pending?

Yes, but it must be dealt with in the contract. Under s. 718.116(1)(a), a new owner is jointly and severally liable with the previous owner for all unpaid assessments that came due up to the transfer of title, so buyers and their closing agents look for any levied assessment on the estoppel. Sellers usually pay installments due before closing and negotiate who pays later ones. Your estoppel certificate states any assessment levied on the unit, and it is the authority.

What happens to my quarterly association fees at closing?

They are settled through the estoppel certificates. Each association’s certificate states the regular assessment, the date paid through and any balance, and the closing agent pays what is owed from your proceeds and prorates the current quarter between you and the buyer under your contract (s. 718.116(8); s. 720.30851). For a Section III unit in 2026 that means the $1,387.00 condo quarter and the $859.80 Del Webb Naples social quarter (DWNCA 2026 budget).

How is the Stewardship District assessment handled when I sell?

The Ave Maria Stewardship Community District assessment rides on the county property tax bill, so it is prorated with your taxes at closing under your contract, and the bond installment continues with the unit for the buyer. The Mayflower Way Declaration s. 2.3 requires the district’s statutory disclosure in every sales contract. For fiscal 2026-27 the per-unit totals are $1,387.20, $1,479.20 or $1,514.22 depending on the bond series (AMSCD FY 2026-27 budget). Show buyers your tax bill early.

Is there a capital contribution at closing, and who pays it?

The Mayflower Way Declaration s. 4.1(D) provides for capital contributions payable at closing to the Recreation Association, “as determined by Mayflower Way Developer.” The amount is not stated in the declaration, the posted budgets or any public document we could find. The Recreation Association’s estoppel certificate states whether one applies to your sale and how much, and your contract says who pays it. Ask for it with the estoppel so it does not surprise anyone at the closing table.

Do I owe capital gains tax when I sell my Mayflower Way home?

Possibly not. If the unit was your main home and you meet the ownership and use tests, you may exclude up to $250,000 of gain, or $500,000 for a married couple filing jointly, under the rules the IRS explains in Publication 523, Selling Your Home. A second home or rental does not qualify for the full exclusion. Your gain is figured from your adjusted basis, which includes qualifying improvements, so keep your closing statement and receipts. Ask a tax professional about your own situation; we are not tax advisers.

Can I sell my Mayflower Way carriage home as is?

Yes. An as-is contract tells the buyer you will not make repairs, but the buyer can usually still inspect and cancel within the inspection period the contract sets. An as-is sale does not remove the condominium disclosures: the buyer is still entitled to the documents listed in s. 718.503(2), and the estoppels still issue. Price an as-is unit against the resales it competes with, five from May 2025 to April 2026 at a $280,000 median (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files).

Does the flood map affect my Mayflower Way sale?

Usually less than buyers fear. FEMA maps every Mayflower Way building center in Zone X on panel 12021C0255H, effective 16 May 2012 (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, queried 2 October 2026). Three building outlines, 5682, 5683 and 5690 Mayflower Way, clip the AE or AH zone by small amounts, so a buyer’s lender may look more closely there. The lender’s flood determination for the specific building, and an Elevation Certificate, decide. If your building has an Elevation Certificate, have it ready.

What insurance questions will Mayflower Way buyers ask?

Three. First, the association’s master policy: ask the manager for the current insurance certificate, since the association insures the building as originally installed under s. 718.111(11). Second, the cost of their own HO-6 policy, which must carry at least $2,000 of loss assessment coverage (s. 627.714). Third, flood: Citizens does not require flood coverage for a condo unit-owner policy (s. 627.351). The Section III 2026 budget shows insurance down 23 percent, to $1,417.00 per unit a year.

Does the age of my building’s roof matter when I sell?

It matters to the association’s budget more than to the buyer’s own policy. The roof sits on the master policy, and Florida’s roof-age rule in s. 627.7011 speaks of homeowner’s policies. Section I’s roofs date from 2007; Sections II to IV are newer. The Section III 2026 reserve schedule budgets $40,000 per eight-unit building for roof replacement on a 20-year life. A Section I buyer will ask what the association has set aside; the answer comes from the association’s records under s. 718.111(12).

Why did condo prices fall in Florida, and is Mayflower Way affected?

Statewide, the pressure fell hardest on taller, older condo buildings: after 2022 Florida required structural integrity reserve studies under s. 718.112(2)(g) and milestone inspections under s. 553.899 for buildings three stories or higher, and insurance costs rose. Mayflower Way’s two-story buildings fall outside both laws. Its prices still eased from the 2023 to 2024 peak: Del Webb’s builder-direct median went from $357,750 in 2023 to $278,500 in 2025, and resales from $355,250 in 2024 to $283,500 in 2025 (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files).

Is my Section I unit exempt from the 55+ rule?

Possibly, but confirm before you rely on it. The Del Webb Naples Declaration exempts parcels closed before 4 November 2010 until the next re-conveyance, with estate, spouse and trust exceptions (DWNCA Governing Documents; DWNCA 2013 annual minutes). Section I’s builder closings were in 2007 and 2008, so a Section I unit could carry that status if it has not been re-conveyed since; most have resold. Ask the Del Webb Naples Community Association to confirm your unit’s status in writing.

How will the association verify my buyer’s age?

Federal rules require a 55+ community to verify occupancy with reliable surveys and affidavits, updated at least every two years, under 24 CFR 100.307, and the Del Webb Naples Declaration requires owners to report a change in occupancy (DWNCA Governing Documents). In practice your buyer completes the association’s occupancy form with proof of age for the qualifying occupant. Florida’s own exemption for housing for older persons is in s. 760.29(4). Build that step into the contract timeline.

Does a Panther Run golf membership transfer when I sell?

If your unit carries one, yes. Golf at Del Webb Naples is optional at $712.56 a quarter in 2026 (DWNCA 2026 budget), and the Panther Run membership plan caps memberships at 600. A golf membership conveys with the parcel, or the plan allows an owner to assign it to another Del Webb Naples parcel for a fee. Check your estoppel to confirm whether your unit is a golf parcel, then decide whether to market it with the membership.

Can I sell my Mayflower Way unit without an agent?

Yes. Florida does not require an agent to sell your own home. You would still deliver the condominium documents in s. 718.503(2), order up to four estoppels, include the district disclosure the Mayflower Way Declaration s. 2.3 requires, and market without a For Sale sign under s. 9.2. Most of the work in a Mayflower Way sale is that paperwork and finding a buyer whose household meets the 55+ rule. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 if you would rather hand it off.

What should I fix before listing my Mayflower Way unit?

Start with what you own. In Section III, unit owners maintain hurricane shutters, windows and glass, doors other than the entrance door’s exterior, in-unit fixtures, appliances and air conditioning (s. 11, OR 6256 PG 3316); Sections I, II and IV follow their own declarations. The Mayflower Way Declaration and rules govern exterior changes. Service the air conditioning, fix what an inspector will flag, and clear the garage, since trash carts must be stored inside it (2013 amendment, OR 4967 PG 566).

Will the Ave Maria expansion affect my Mayflower Way resale?

It adds future competition for 55+ buyers. On 10 June 2026 Collier County approved a 2,042-acre expansion of the Ave Maria town area, allowing up to 6,738 more homes, including a roughly 1,000-acre 55+ community east of Camp Keais Road (Gulfshore Business, June 2026). That land sits about 1.5 miles or more east of Mayflower Way, and homes there will take years to deliver. For now, Mayflower Way resales compete with each other and with Del Webb’s villas and single-family homes.

Should I sell my Mayflower Way unit now or rent it out?

Renting is allowed but limited: entire units only, 30-day minimum, no more than four leases a calendar year (Mayflower Way Declaration s. 12.2), a tenant household with a resident 55 or older, and your Recreation Common Area rights passing to the tenant. You keep paying the full fee stack, about $10,501 a year for a Section III unit before property tax. Set that against a sale at today’s resale level, 11 resales at a $287,000 median from May 2024 to April 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser, 2026 tax roll data files). We will run both numbers for you.
