Costa Amalfi is an intimate enclave of roughly sixteen beachfront single-family beach cottages at Miromar Lakes, each fronting a private white-sand beach on Lake Como with neighborhood boat slips.

McGreevy and Comisar are the best realtor team for Costa Amalfi at Miromar Lakes, for sellers first and for buyers right behind them. If you own one of the sixteen beachfront beach cottages in Costa Amalfi, you hold one of the rarest products inside Miromar Lakes Beach & Golf Club and, arguably, in all of Southwest Florida: a single-family home that fronts a private white-sand beach on Lake Como and carries its own boat slip access, so the beach lifestyle and the boating lifestyle live at a single address. Two Costa Amalfi resales closed on the MLS in the last 12 months at $2,310,000 and $2,625,000, and the two active listings are asking a median of $2,699,500. Pricing a sixteen-home beachfront enclave correctly is not a job for a part-time agent. It takes a team ranked in the Top 1% of real estate agents nationally since 2008 and the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012.
For buyers, Costa Amalfi is the purest both-worlds address in the Estero corridor: roughly sixteen single-family beach cottages of about 2,500 to 4,000-plus square feet built by Michelangelo Homes and Distinctive Communities, Inc. between 2009 and 2014, engineered so you step off the back lanai onto sand, with neighborhood boat slips a short walk away and the full Miromar Lakes amenity package included with every deed: a 700-acre freshwater lake, roughly three miles of private white-sand beach, and the only Arthur Hills Signature golf course in the region. This page covers the enclave's history, its builders, its floor plans, its fee structure, the June 2026 market numbers, and the questions buyers and sellers actually ask us.
McGreevy and Comisar are the best realtor team for Costa Amalfi at Miromar Lakes because they pair national-tier production with enclave-level knowledge of this sixteen-home beachfront neighborhood: its two original builders, its beach-plus-boat premium, its fee structure, and the thin, event-driven way a boutique waterfront inventory like Costa Amalfi actually trades.
The Costa Amalfi market over the last 12 months: 2 closed MLS sales at $2,310,000 and $2,625,000 (a median of $2,467,500), with a median of 155 days on market and the most recent closing on 12/09/25. As of June 2026 there are 2 active listings asking a median of $2,699,500, ranging from $2,550,000 to $2,849,000 with a median of 44 days on market. Across the wider Miromar Lakes community, 72 sales closed in the trailing 12 months at a median of $1,345,904 (top sale $4.2 million), with 59 listings active. That puts Costa Amalfi's sold prices roughly 83% above the community median, exactly the premium you would expect for a deeded private-beach address with boat slips.

Buying in Costa Amalfi? Two active listings is meaningful availability in a sixteen-home beachfront enclave, but with so few total homes, opportunities disappear fast and some trade quietly off-market.

Costa Amalfi at Miromar Lakes is an intimate enclave of roughly sixteen single-family beach cottages built by Michelangelo Homes and Distinctive Communities between 2009 and 2014, each fronting a private white-sand beach on Lake Como with neighborhood boat slips, sized from about 2,500 to 4,000-plus square feet, with recent resales between $2.31 million and $2.625 million and active asks reaching $2.849 million.
Costa Amalfi at Miromar Lakes takes its name from Italy's Amalfi Coast, the dramatic stretch of Mediterranean shoreline south of Naples famous for its pastel cliffside towns, its beaches, and its boats. The naming is deliberate and a little playful: Miromar Lakes already named its 700-acre freshwater centerpiece Lake Como, after the lake in northern Italy, so a beachfront enclave called Costa Amalfi sets the Italian seaside directly on the Italian lake, all of it engineered inside one gated community in Estero, Florida.
The name also signals the product. The Amalfi Coast is not estate country; it is a coast of intimate, characterful homes stacked along the water, where the lifestyle is about the beach, the boats, and the view rather than square footage. Miromar Development built that idea into the neighborhood's defining design choice: rather than the 5,000-to-10,000-square-foot estates that line much of Lake Como elsewhere in the community, Costa Amalfi is a row of beach cottages, roughly 2,500 to 4,000-plus square feet, scaled so that the beach is the star and the house is the frame. The developer explicitly described the Beach Cottage concept as a new kind of residential design for Southwest Florida.
That "beach village within a lake community" character is the thing buyers either fall for immediately or find too modest for the price, and in our experience showing this enclave there is rarely a middle ground. With roughly sixteen homes, you will know your neighbors, and the private beach out front functions almost like a shared front porch. The flip side of that intimacy is scarcity: when only sixteen homes exist and every one of them carries a deeded private beach and boat-slip access, the market simply cannot produce inventory on demand, and that scarcity has real pricing consequences we cover in the Market Snapshot below. McGreevy and Comisar, ranked in the Top 1% of real estate agents nationally since 2008, have guided buyers and sellers through exactly this kind of boutique-waterfront market across Miromar Lakes, and the dynamics in Costa Amalfi reward preparation on both sides of the table.
Costa Amalfi at Miromar Lakes occupies a position no other neighborhood in the community can match for a single-family buyer: a peninsula row of beach cottages with frontage along a private white-sand beach and southwest views across Lake Como, plus neighborhood boat slips, so the same address delivers both the beach lifestyle and the boating lifestyle.
Start with the beach. The original developer marketing for Costa Amalfi promised, in effect, that the private beach would "call to you with its wide stretches of white sand," and the homes were designed so owners step off the back lanai directly onto that sand. This is genuinely unusual. In most of Miromar Lakes, the three-mile private beach is a community amenity you drive or cart to; in Costa Amalfi, a stretch of that white-sand shoreline is your front yard. For a buyer who wants the beach to be part of daily life rather than a weekend outing, that distinction is the entire purchase.
Then add the boats. Each Costa Amalfi home sits directly on Lake Como, with neighborhood boat slips giving residents direct access to the 700-acre contiguous freshwater lake system. A boater here can keep a powerboat or a sailboat at the slip and be on open water in minutes, then come home to the beach. That beach-plus-boat pairing at a single-family address is rare even inside Miromar Lakes, where the boating enclaves (Anacapri, Volterra, Murano, Isola Bella) tend to offer docks without a private beach, and the beach-adjacent condos (Mirasol) offer the sand without a single-family home. Costa Amalfi is the address that does both.
The southwest orientation is the third piece. West and southwest exposure across Lake Como means afternoon and evening light on the water and sunsets over the lake, the same daily program that makes the community's beachfront so coveted. Because the homes face the water at cottage scale, the architecture pushes living space toward the back of the house: large lanais, summer-kitchen and outdoor-living setups, and pools positioned so the sand, the water, and the sunset stack into one sightline. The result is a home that lives outward, toward the beach and the lake, far more than a conventional inland estate does.
One precision for buyers comparing waterfront addresses inside the community: Lake Como is an internal freshwater lake with no Gulf access. Boating from Costa Amalfi is lake boating, exceptional for water sports, sunset cruises, and fishing, but it does not connect to the Gulf of Mexico. For most buyers drawn to this enclave, the freshwater setting is a feature rather than a limitation: no salt on the boat, no red tide, no jellyfish, no seaweed, and a swimmable, skiable lake right off a private sand beach.
Costa Amalfi at Miromar Lakes was built by two firms, Michelangelo Homes and Distinctive Communities, Inc., which were announced as the neighborhood's builders and completed preliminary plans for a Beach Cottage design that the developer presented as a new residential concept for Southwest Florida. Construction ran from roughly 2009 through 2014.
The enclave's documented story, drawn from Miromar Development materials and Florida Weekly coverage:
Why the builder story matters at resale: Costa Amalfi is a finished, boutique product with a clear design identity, which is exactly the kind of provenance narrative that out-of-state and second-home buyers respond to. The neighborhood was purpose-built around a single idea (beach living at cottage scale with boating attached), and that focus is a marketing asset. When McGreevy and Comisar list a Costa Amalfi home, we put the original Beach Cottage concept, the documented launch pricing, and the appreciation story to work, the kind of material that helps the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012 win listings in enclaves this small.
A practical note for buyers and sellers: because the homes were built across a multi-year window by two builders and have traded and been renovated over more than a decade, finishes, square footage, and exact floor plans vary meaningfully from cottage to cottage. We verify the as-built specifications against Lee County records and the original plans rather than trusting listing boilerplate, on either side of a transaction.
Costa Amalfi at Miromar Lakes offers one- and two-story coastal-Mediterranean beach cottages of roughly 2,500 to 4,000-plus square feet under air, designed around indoor-outdoor beach living, with generously sized lanais, summer-kitchen and outdoor-living setups, and pools oriented toward the private beach, the lake, and the southwest sunset.
What the product looks like in practice:
Two practical notes for buyers. First, do not assume every cottage in the enclave is the same: with a 1,500-plus-square-foot spread between the smallest and largest homes, plus one- versus two-story configurations and a decade-plus of individual renovations, the as-built reality varies enough to move value by hundreds of thousands of dollars. Second, the value here is inseparable from the position: the private-beach frontage, the boat-slip access, and the southwest water orientation are the assets, and a home's exact spot along the beach and the quality of its outdoor living areas can matter as much as its interior. When we represent a buyer or seller in Costa Amalfi, McGreevy and Comisar verify the as-built specs against Lee County records and the original builder plans, and we weigh the position, not just the floor plan.
In Costa Amalfi at Miromar Lakes, "beach cottage" means a fully detached single-family home (no shared walls, your own pool, your own garage) that fronts a private white-sand beach, where the cottage designation refers to the deliberately manageable scale and the beach-focused design, not to anything small or modest. These are luxury homes in the $2.3 million to $2.85 million resale range; the word "cottage" describes intent and lifestyle, not price.
The label deserves unpacking, because "cottage" can mislead. In Costa Amalfi it does three things. It signals scale: these homes are intentionally smaller and easier to live in than the 4,000-to-10,000-square-foot estates elsewhere on Lake Como, built in the 2,500-to-4,000-plus-square-foot range. It signals design philosophy: the home is organized around the beach and the water rather than around grand interior volume, so the lanai, the pool, and the sightline to the sand carry the experience. And it signals lifestyle: a Costa Amalfi cottage is a lock-the-door-and-walk-to-the-beach home, not a high-maintenance trophy estate.
What it absolutely does not mean is entry-level. The deeded private-beach frontage and the boat-slip access make these among the most distinctive single-family homes in the community, which is why recent resales close well above the Miromar Lakes median despite the modest square footage. That combination, a manageable, beach-focused home that still commands a premium price for its position, is precisely what the enclave's target buyer wants: the beach-and-boat lifestyle without the burden of an estate. It is also why Costa Amalfi resales draw from a wider buyer pool than their sixteen-home census suggests. The product competes for the same buyers who are considering a Mirasol beachfront condominium, a Caprini or Verona Lago lakefront villa, or even a smaller estate elsewhere on the water. Pricing against that whole competitive set, not just the enclave's own thin two-sale comp history, is exactly the kind of judgment call where a Top 1% nationally ranked team earns its fee.
The Costa Amalfi at Miromar Lakes buyer is, first and last, a water-lifestyle buyer: someone who wants the beach and a boat at the same address, values stepping off the lanai onto sand, and is happy to trade estate-scale square footage for a manageable, beach-focused cottage. Typically a seasonal or empty-nest buyer, frequently paying cash, in the $2.3 million to $2.85 million range.
From our work across Miromar Lakes' waterfront neighborhoods, the Costa Amalfi buyer profile breaks into four recognizable groups:
Who Costa Amalfi is not for: buyers who need 5,000-plus square feet and a grand estate footprint (these are cottages by design); buyers who want Gulf-access boating (Lake Como is freshwater and internal); and buyers who find a sixteen-home enclave too intimate or too exposed, since the private beach is a shared, communal feature. We tell buyers this directly. McGreevy and Comisar would rather steer you to the right Miromar Lakes neighborhood than sell you the wrong one. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and we will map your priorities against every enclave in the community.
Costa Amalfi at Miromar Lakes owners pay layered community costs: the master association covering Miromar Lakes' amenities and security, a neighborhood-level component tied to Costa Amalfi's shared beach and boat-slip infrastructure, CDD assessments on the tax bill, and optional club memberships. Specific dollar figures change annually, so confirm the current numbers with us before budgeting.
Here is how the structure works, layer by layer:
We deliberately do not publish specific dues amounts on this page: fee schedules change annually, and a stale number is worse than none. What we will do, same day and at no obligation, is pull the current Costa Amalfi fee stack, the neighborhood beach-and-slip assessment, the CDD line, and the membership schedule for any cottage you are considering. Call Jesse at (239) 898-6072. For sellers, we prepare this cost-of-ownership picture as part of the listing package, because the buyer who understands the numbers up front is the buyer who closes without renegotiating.
Club membership at Costa Amalfi at Miromar Lakes works in two layers: every owner receives the community's standard Beach & Golf Club membership, which conveys the beach, lake, Beach Clubhouse, spa, fitness, tennis, pickleball, and marina lifestyle, while golf is a separate, optional membership with a confirmed $140,000 initiation fee and access to the only Arthur Hills Signature course in Southwest Florida.
The pieces every Costa Amalfi buyer should understand:
A membership nuance that matters in resale negotiations: whether a seller's golf membership (if they hold one) can transfer, be surrendered, or must be re-purchased at the current initiation rate varies with the club's rules at the time of sale, and it can swing five figures of effective value. When McGreevy and Comisar represent either side of a Costa Amalfi sale, the membership terms go into the negotiation file on day one. That diligence is part of why the Domain Realty Group team has closed over $2.5 billion in real estate.
Every Costa Amalfi at Miromar Lakes owner holds full membership in the community's resort amenity program: a 700-acre boatable freshwater lake, roughly three miles of community private white-sand beach (in addition to the enclave's own beach frontage), the Beach Clubhouse with a 10,000-square-foot zero-edge infinity pool, a European wellness spa, three dining venues, tennis, pickleball, and two marinas.
Miromar Lakes is the only Florida community ever to win the National Association of Home Builders' Gold Award as the #1 Community in the USA, and the only community in the program's history to win Gold for both #1 Community and #1 Clubhouse. The amenity set behind those awards:
The strategic point for a Costa Amalfi buyer: this enclave gives you a deeded private beach and a boat slip and the full resort lifestyle that makes Miromar Lakes nationally unique. At most waterfront communities you choose one thing, the beach or the boat or the resort. Here, your cottage delivers the beach and the boat, and the community delivers everything else, the spa, the pool, the dining, the golf, and the social calendar, with every address. That depth of amenity is also what supports values in an enclave this small, and it is why these cottages appeal even to a non-boating spouse.
Costa Amalfi at Miromar Lakes sits inside the community's main gate off Ben Hill Griffin Parkway in Estero, unincorporated Lee County (ZIP 33913), minutes from I-75's Corkscrew Road exit, adjacent to Florida Gulf Coast University and Miromar Outlets, and just 10 to 15 minutes from Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW).
The logistics that matter day to day:
One more locational note specific to this enclave: because Costa Amalfi sits on a peninsula with southwest exposure across Lake Como, owners enjoy the community's prized afternoon-and-sunset light directly from home, the same orientation that commands premiums on the beach side of the community. For buyers comparing Miromar Lakes neighborhoods street by street, we maintain current drive-time, cart-time, and waterfront-orientation notes for every enclave; call Jesse at (239) 898-6072 and we will walk the map with you.
Within Miromar Lakes, Costa Amalfi is the beach-and-boat specialist: the only single-family enclave that pairs a deeded private beach with boat-slip access, more intimate and more beach-focused than the lakefront villa neighborhoods, and more manageable in scale than the estate enclaves. Recent sales at $2.31 million to $2.625 million position it in the community's upper-middle-to-luxury tier.
How the comparison shakes out, enclave by enclave:
The honest summary we give clients: if you want the beach and a boat at a single-family address, Costa Amalfi is effectively the only game in Miromar Lakes, and that scarcity is the whole pricing story. If you want estate scale, look at San Lorenzo, Murano, or Avellino; if you want a dock without the beach, look at Caprini, Verona Lago, or Portofino; if you want golf frontage, look at Villa d'Este. McGreevy and Comisar, the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012, sell across every one of these enclaves and will tell you plainly which one fits. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873.
The Costa Amalfi at Miromar Lakes market over the trailing 12 months: 2 closed MLS sales at $2,310,000 and $2,625,000 (a median of $2,467,500, median 155 days on market, most recent closing 12/09/25), with 2 active listings asking a median of $2,699,500 (range $2,550,000 to $2,849,000, median 44 days on market) as of June 2026.

If you are thinking "it might be time to sell my Costa Amalfi home," the June 2026 setup deserves a hard look: two recent closings prove demand between $2.31 million and $2.625 million, two active listings are testing modestly higher, and choosing the right Costa Amalfi listing agent, one who can price a one-of-a-kind beachfront cottage with evidence, is the difference between leading the market and chasing it.
What McGreevy and Comisar bring to a Costa Amalfi listing:
The seller's case, in numbers: your last twelve months produced 2 closed sales at $2,310,000 and $2,625,000, on a median of 155 days, while the two competing actives ask a median of $2,699,500. With only sixteen homes in the enclave and just two trades a year, your home's value is not a number you read off a chart, it is a case you build: square footage, beach position, outdoor living, boat-slip access, and the simple fact that almost nothing else in Southwest Florida pairs a private sand beach with boating from a single-family home. We assemble that case, document it, and put it in front of the buyers who pay for it.
Our Costa Amalfi listing process: a same-day valuation grounded in the enclave's actual comp history and the competitive set across Caprini, Verona Lago, Portofino, and the beachfront tier; preparation and staging guidance tuned to beach-and-water sightlines (the lanai and the view axis are the show); cost-of-ownership, beach-and-slip, and estoppel packages assembled before the first showing; marketing that reaches out-of-state and second-home buyers who specifically want a beach-and-boat address, not just the local MLS; and negotiation that treats boat-slip assignment, furnishings, and timing as the value levers they are.

The questions Costa Amalfi at Miromar Lakes buyers actually ask us, answered directly. For anything not covered, call Marc at (239) 287-5873.
Roughly sixteen. Costa Amalfi is an intimate enclave of about sixteen single-family beach cottages, each fronting a private white-sand beach on Lake Como, on a Miromar Lakes peninsula. It is one of the smallest neighborhoods in the community, which is a large part of why it is so scarce on the resale market.
Two MLS resales closed in the trailing 12 months at $2,310,000 and $2,625,000 (median $2,467,500). The two active listings ask a median of $2,699,500, ranging up to $2,849,000. Because homes vary from about 2,500 to 4,000-plus square feet and beach position differs, price depends heavily on which of the sixteen cottages it is. We will tell you what a specific home is actually worth.
Two firms: Michelangelo Homes and Distinctive Communities, Inc. They were announced as the neighborhood's builders and developed the Beach Cottage design, which the developer presented as a new residential concept for Southwest Florida. Construction ran from roughly 2009 to 2014.
Costa Amalfi was built over roughly 2009 to 2014. Practically, you are buying late-2000s-to-mid-2010s concrete-block construction built to modern Florida wind codes, with more than a decade of individual ownership and, in many cases, renovation since.
Built cottages run from about 2,500 square feet under air up past 4,000 square feet, in both one- and two-story configurations, with generously sized lanais and, on some homes, oversized garages. Verify the as-built square footage and configuration on any specific home, because the spread is wide and it drives value.
Yes. Each home fronts a private white-sand beach on Lake Como, with southwest views across the water. This is the enclave's defining feature, and it is unusual: in most of Miromar Lakes the private beach is a community amenity you travel to, while in Costa Amalfi a stretch of white-sand shoreline is essentially your front yard.
Yes. The neighborhood has boat slips that give residents direct access to the 700-acre contiguous freshwater Lake Como system. The beach-plus-boat combination at a single-family address is the whole point of this enclave, and it is rare even within Miromar Lakes. Confirm slip assignment and any associated cost on the specific home you are considering.
No. Lake Como is an internal freshwater lake with no Gulf access, so boating from Costa Amalfi is lake boating, excellent for water sports, sunset cruises, and fishing, but it does not reach the Gulf of Mexico. For most buyers here, the freshwater setting is a feature: no salt, no red tide, no jellyfish, and a swimmable beach.
"Beach cottage" describes the scale and design philosophy, not the price. These are luxury single-family homes in the $2.3 million to $2.85 million range, intentionally built smaller (2,500 to 4,000-plus square feet) and organized around the beach and the water rather than around grand interior volume. The word signals a manageable, beach-focused home, not an entry-level one.
Fully detached single-family homes, no shared walls, with private pools and private garages. "Cottage" refers to the deliberately manageable scale and the beach-focused design, not to attached construction.
Coastal Mediterranean, designed at a beach-cottage scale around indoor-outdoor living. The defining moves are large lanais, outdoor kitchens, and pools oriented toward the private beach, the lake, and the southwest sunset, with the architecture serving the view.
When the neighborhood launched, home sites began at approximately $300,000 and complete waterfront packages (home plus site) started in the low $800,000s. Today's resales close between $2.31 million and $2.85 million, which gives you a sense of how the address has appreciated over fifteen-plus years.
Ownership carries the Miromar Lakes master association fee (funding the beach, club, spa, security, and marinas), a neighborhood layer tied to Costa Amalfi's shared beach and boat-slip infrastructure, and CDD assessments on the tax bill. Schedules change annually, so we do not publish stale figures. Call Jesse at (239) 898-6072 for the current fee stack on any cottage.
Yes, through the community. Miromar Lakes has a 24/7 staffed main gate with patrols and controlled visitor access, so the whole enclave sits behind the community's security perimeter.
No. Golf membership at Miromar Lakes Golf Club is optional and separate, with a confirmed $140,000 initiation fee plus annual dues. Every owner already receives the standard community membership covering the beach, lake, Beach Clubhouse, spa, fitness, tennis, and marinas, which is the lifestyle most Costa Amalfi buyers come for. Confirm the current golf waitlist and terms with us if golf matters to you.
Everything except member golf: your own private beach frontage, the 700-acre lake and water sports, boat slips, roughly three miles of additional community beach, the 10,000-square-foot infinity pool, the European wellness spa and salon, the fitness center, three restaurants including Blue Water Beach Grill, seven Har-Tru tennis courts, pickleball, bocce, two marinas, the botanical park, concierge services, and the full social calendar.
The community sits well inland of the Gulf, and 2009-to-2014 construction meets modern elevation and wind codes, but this is genuine beachfront on Lake Como, so flood-zone designation is parcel-specific under FEMA mapping. We pull the current flood determination and the waterfront insurance picture on any cottage you consider; never rely on marketing language for this.
Caprini is the lakefront villa neighborhood, roughly twenty-seven Mediterranean villas on Lake Como with community boat docks, recent sales $2.27 million to $2.30 million, almost identical to Costa Amalfi's entry. The difference is the beach: Caprini gives you the lake and a dock, while Costa Amalfi gives you the lake, a boat slip, and a private sand beach. If the beach matters to you, Costa Amalfi wins at overlapping prices.
San Lorenzo and the estate tier deliver beachfront living on a much larger scale (San Lorenzo's recent sale closed at $4.2 million) on bigger lots with estate-scale homes. Costa Amalfi gives you a deeded private beach at roughly half that price by trading estate square footage for a manageable cottage. It is the more attainable, lower-maintenance way onto the sand.
It can be, but the cottage scale (2,500 to 4,000-plus square feet) suits couples and seasonal owners best; larger families may prefer the bigger plans here or an estate neighborhood. Miromar Lakes is all-ages, served by Lee County's school-choice system, and we will map current school options for 33913 with you.
Southwest Florida International (RSW) is 10 to 15 minutes from the gate, the standout logistical advantage of Miromar Lakes over comparable Naples communities, and an especially nice feature for a lock-and-leave beach home. I-75 at Corkscrew Road, FGCU, Miromar Outlets, and Hertz Arena are all minutes away.
Community-wide, Miromar Lakes rentals lease at roughly 100% of asking with a median achieved rent of $7,500 per month, evidence of strong seasonal demand, and a deeded-beach cottage is a premium rental product. Leasing in Costa Amalfi is subject to association rules and minimums; confirm current policies with us before underwriting rental income.
The two recent sales carried a median of 155 days on market, a deliberate luxury tempo that reflects how a one-of-a-kind beachfront home finds its specific buyer rather than the first buyer. Current actives are showing fresher days on market. With only sixteen homes, timing is opportunistic: when the right cottage lists, prepared buyers move quickly.
In an enclave this small and this distinctive, quiet sales happen, owners often prefer testing demand without a public listing. McGreevy and Comisar maintain relationships across Miromar Lakes' neighborhoods and run private alerts for serious buyers. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 to get on the Costa Amalfi watch list.
Over 200 national, state, and local awards, including the National Association of Home Builders' Gold Award as #1 Community in the USA (the only Florida community ever to win it, and the only community in the program's history to take Gold for both #1 Community and #1 Clubhouse) and the 2024 Lee BIA Pinnacle Grand Award for Best Master-Planned Community.
Three things: proof of funds or underwritten pre-approval (luxury sellers here expect it, and many Costa Amalfi buyers pay cash), clarity on how much the boat slip and the beach matter to you versus square footage, and speed, with only sixteen homes the right cottage may not wait. We prepare buyers with all three before the first showing.
Two active listings is meaningful availability in a sixteen-home beachfront enclave, historically rare. With closed comps at $2.31 million and $2.625 million defining recent value and active asks modestly above, the opportunity is in disciplined negotiation on the right specific home. Buyers in the Top 1% agent network see the pendings and price changes first; that is the edge we bring.
For Costa Amalfi at Miromar Lakes owners weighing a sale, these are the questions that decide outcomes. For a confidential conversation, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.
The evidence says roughly $2.31 million to $2.625 million for recent product, the two trailing-12-month sales closed at $2,310,000 and $2,625,000, with active asks reaching $2,849,000. But in a sixteen-home enclave with only two trades a year, your number depends on your specific cottage: its square footage, its position along the beach, its outdoor living, and its boat-slip access.

Near the evidence, adjusted for your specific home. The two recent closes ($2,310,000 and $2,625,000) and the current asks (median $2,699,500, up to $2,849,000) bracket a narrow, credible band. If your cottage is larger, better positioned on the beach, or recently renovated, we build the documentation to press toward the top of that band; if it is a smaller core cottage, we price it to be the credible buy. Aspiration without evidence buys days on market, not dollars.
The recent sales carried a median of 155 days on market, which is normal for a one-of-a-kind luxury beachfront home, it finds its specific buyer rather than the first one through the door. Correct pricing, preparation, and reaching the right out-of-state beach-and-boat buyers compress that. The luxury buyers for this enclave are largely seasonal, so listing timing relative to the October-to-April window matters too.
The setup favors prepared sellers: two recent closings prove demand at $2.31 million-plus, the competing actives are priced just above (so a well-positioned cottage stands out), and community-wide velocity is healthy at 72 sales in 12 months. Scarcity is structural here, only sixteen homes exist, and only one of them pairs your exact beach position with your exact slip, so scarcity is your leverage when the marketing is right.
A beach-and-boat lifestyle buyer, often 55-plus, frequently from the Northeast or Midwest, frequently paying cash; or an existing Miromar Lakes owner downsizing from an estate but wanting to stay on the water; or a view-led luxury buyer. Reaching them takes more than the MLS, our marketing targets second-home and waterfront buyer networks, out-of-state feeder markets, and our own database built over $2.5 billion in Domain Realty Group team sales.
You market the asset, not the average. With only sixteen homes and two trades a year, there is no tidy comp set, so we build the value case from the features that make your cottage unique: the deeded private beach, the boat slip, the square footage, the outdoor living, and the simple scarcity of a beach-and-boat single-family address in Southwest Florida. Then we put that case in front of the specific buyers who pay for it. That is exactly the kind of market where a discount, volume brokerage struggles and a Top 1% team earns its fee.
Yes, materially. The boat slip is a core part of what makes Costa Amalfi distinctive, so we document the slip assignment and its terms up front and present it as a headline feature, not a footnote. We confirm exactly what conveys with the home and write it cleanly into the contract so it adds leverage rather than becoming a last-minute question.
Original builder plans and selections (Michelangelo Homes or Distinctive Communities), boat-slip assignment and any beach or neighborhood documentation, HOA and master association statements, the CDD line from your tax bill, any club-membership paperwork, survey, and your insurance declarations including flood. We assemble the estoppel and cost-of-ownership package before the first showing, buyers who see clean numbers close without renegotiating.
Usually lightly, and toward the view. Costa Amalfi sells the sightline, the private beach, the lake, and the sunset, so preparation focuses on the lanai and the great-room view axis: furniture that frames rather than blocks, glass cleaned to invisible, the outdoor living areas dressed to show the beach-and-boat lifestyle. We will advise exactly where staging dollars pay off in your specific cottage.
For out-of-state beach buyers, turnkey furnished is a genuine premium feature, a buyer who wants a lock-and-leave beach home often prefers to walk in and start living. We price furnishings as a separate negotiable schedule so they add leverage instead of muddying the real estate number, and we advise whether your particular furnishings help or hurt.
Yes, and in a sixteen-home enclave it is often smart. We run quiet-marketing campaigns: direct outreach to qualified beach-and-boat buyers, private showings, no public price history. If the private market does not produce your number, we convert to a public launch with momentum. Confidential conversations welcome: (239) 898-6072.
Four things: the ask-versus-comps math against the recent $2.31 million and $2.625 million sales, the as-built square footage versus listing claims, the total carrying cost (master plus neighborhood beach-and-slip plus CDD plus waterfront insurance), and the boat-slip terms. We pre-answer all four in the listing package so scrutiny becomes confidence.
Every showing is escorted and scheduled. The community's staffed main gate means no drive-by traffic, which is a feature, not a bug: every buyer who walks onto your beach is qualified and accompanied. We coordinate gate access, protect your privacy, and capture feedback after every showing.
Florida sales require current estoppel certificates from each association layer, and buyers' lenders will review the associations' financials. We order estoppels early, flag any pending assessments (especially anything tied to the shared beach or slip infrastructure), and resolve surprises before they become renegotiation leverage against you.
It can help you if you price with discipline: a higher-asking competitor makes a credibly priced cottage look like the obvious buy, and buyer agents steer to it. It hurts everyone if it lingers and ages the enclave's perceived demand. Either way, your strategy should be set by the closed comps and your home's documented advantages, its beach position, its size, its slip, not by a neighbor's ask.
Brokerage commission (we will discuss structure directly), Florida documentary stamps on the deed, title and closing fees per contract allocation, estoppel fees per association layer, and any agreed repairs or credits. We model your net proceeds at multiple price points before you commit to a strategy, so there are no surprises at the closing table.
Because in a two-comps-a-year, one-of-a-kind market, pricing judgment and buyer reach are the whole game. We are in the Top 1% of real estate agents nationally since 2008, the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012, with over $900 million in personal sales and 20 straight years of 5-star customer satisfaction (Gulfshore Life), and we sell across every Miromar Lakes enclave, so we know exactly which buyers cross-shop a beach-and-boat cottage. Saving a point on commission means nothing if the sale price misses by six figures.
A confidential valuation conversation, no listing agreement, no obligation. We pull the live comps, walk your cottage, verify the as-built record and the slip terms, and give you a defensible number with the strategy to achieve it. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072, text or call, or start at mcgreevyandcomisar.com/home-valuation.
