By Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar, McGreevy and Comisar, Domain Realty Group. Updated October 2026.
Selling a condo in Barefoot Beach Club I means selling one of 82 Gulf-side homes in three seven-level buildings at 253, 255 and 257 Barefoot Beach Blvd, inside the Barefoot Beach gate, under a condominium association governed by chapter 718 of the Florida Statutes. The county recorded 8 qualified sales in the 60 months since October 2021 and none in the last 12, so no window reaches 10 sales and we list every sale and publish no trend. McGreevy and Comisar, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, wrote this guide for owners who want to price from the public record. For the buildings themselves, start with our Barefoot Beach Club I guide, and for the whole community see our Barefoot Beach guide.
Several names sound alike, so we separate them now. Barefoot Beach Club I is one of four condominiums in the Barefoot Beach Club, and Clubs II, III and IV have their own associations. The Club at Barefoot Beach, Inc. is a separate private beach and tennis club on Shell Drive whose membership no Club I deed conveys. Unrelated hotels in Pinellas County are also called Barefoot Beach Club. And the county’s “building III” at 257 Barefoot Beach Blvd is a Club I building, not Barefoot Beach Club III. The mailing address reads Bonita Springs, FL 34134, but the buildings sit in unincorporated Collier County, so Collier County rules and customs govern your sale, as our Bonita Springs guide explains.
This page is the seller’s playbook for these three buildings. Our home valuation guide for Barefoot Beach Club I explains how a value is built, and our guide to buying a condo in Barefoot Beach Club I covers the purchase side. For the community-wide view across all four Club condominiums, read the umbrella set: the Barefoot Beach Club seller page, the Barefoot Beach Club valuation page and the Barefoot Beach Club buyer page. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or start with a free Barefoot Beach Club I condo valuation, and we will send you the comparable sales we used, each labelled by source and date.
You sell a Barefoot Beach Club I condo in 2026 by pricing from the eight recorded sales in your own three buildings, delivering the chapter 718 document package that Florida entitles your buyer to, and having your flood, insurance and association answers ready. The county recorded 8 qualified sales in 60 months and none in the last 12.
Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)
Barefoot Beach Club I is the oldest of the four Club condominiums. The county roll shows 82 parcels, every one a condominium home built in 1991, in three buildings: 34 homes at 253, and 24 each at 255 and 257. We tracked every one of the 82 parcels and every one of the 8 qualified Barefoot Beach Club I sales in the county record since October 2021, so each figure below comes with its window and its sample size beside it.
You are selling into a Gulf-side, gated condominium of five floor plans from 1,604 to 2,408 square feet by county base area, with one assigned covered parking space and one storage unit per home. All three buildings stand on the Gulf side of the private boulevard, and the Club’s east-side buildings belong to Clubs II and IV. Three layers of governance sit above your deed: the Club I association, the Club umbrella association for the pools, clubhouse and grounds, and the Barefoot Beach Master Association for the boulevard and staffed gate.

In the 60 months from October 2021 the county recorded 8 qualified Barefoot Beach Club I sales, from $1,400,000 to $3,335,000, all resales and none builder-direct. Five fell in the last 36 months and none in the last 12. Those are county records of qualified sales, not MLS closings, and the sections below list every sale.

McGreevy and Comisar is the #1 real estate team in Southwest Florida since 2012, and every Barefoot Beach Club I listing gets over 45 years of combined direct experience between Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar. In a 1991 condominium with three association layers, the paperwork is public, specific and routinely missed.
We are the partners who price your condo, sit at the negotiating table and answer your phone. Nobody hands your offer to an assistant. Here is the record behind that promise:
Those are career figures across Southwest Florida, not a claim about Barefoot Beach Club I alone. If you are comparing listing agents, our guide to the best real estate agents in Barefoot Beach sets out the criteria we think a seller should use, and we are comfortable being measured against it.
We claim no McGreevy and Comisar closing at Barefoot Beach Club I on this page. McGreevy and Comisar closed no sale at Barefoot Beach Club I through the Southwest Florida MLS in the 60 months to October 3, 2026, on either the listing or the buying side, so our share of the 15 MLS closings in that period is 0 of 15 and we have no days on market or sale-to-list ratio of our own to show. What we can show is the public record, and we tracked all of it: every one of the 8 qualified Barefoot Beach Club I sales in the county record since October 2021 and the 7 recorded deeds the county left out of that series.
A listing agent here has to know that the 1,604 square foot plan exists in building I only, that the pet limit is 20 pounds while the rest of the Club allows 45, that sale and lease approval sit in the umbrella declaration, and that every building is crossed by the line between flood zones AE 11 and VE 12 by our reading of the public map layers. Buyers, lenders and insurers raise those points, so we answer them first.
The Barefoot Beach Club I market for sellers in 2026 is thin but documented: the county recorded 8 qualified sales in the last 60 months, from $1,400,000 to $3,335,000, and none in the last 12 months. Every sale was a resale. County records show what closed, not how long it took or what the list price was.
Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)
We count back from October 1, 2026 and widen the window until it holds at least 10 qualified sales. None does: the 12-month window holds none, the 24-month and 36-month windows hold 5 each, and the 60-month window holds 8, so this page lists every sale and states no median for any window.
| Window | Counted from | Qualified sales | Low | High | Total volume | Builder-direct | Resale |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 months | October 2025 | 0 | none | none | none | 0 | 0 |
| 24 months | October 2024 | 5 | $1,400,000 | $2,950,000 | $11,475,000 | 0 | 5 |
| 36 months | October 2023 | 5 | $1,400,000 | $2,950,000 | $11,475,000 | 0 | 5 |
| 60 months | October 2021 | 8 | $1,400,000 | $3,335,000 | $19,320,000 | 0 | 8 |
The county’s qualified series excludes transfers the state does not treat as arm’s length, and recording can lag a closing by weeks. By calendar year the file shows 3 qualified sales in 2021 (all before October), none in 2022, 3 in 2023, none in 2024, 5 in 2025 and none so far in 2026. A quiet year is not proof of a quiet market, because the qualified flag is thin in 2022 and 2024. The file also holds 178 qualified sales since 1991, 68 of them builder-direct first sales, so we publish no all-history median.
A county sale file records a deed date, a price and a qualification flag. It does not record days on market, list price, price reductions, concessions, floor or what a renovation cost. The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled October 3, 2026, adds part of that for these buildings: the 10 closings in the 36 months to that date had median days on market of 164 and a median sale-to-list ratio of 93.4% of the final list price, on MLS living areas of 1,604 to 2,003 square feet. Four condos were listed for sale and none was pending on October 3, 2026, which is 24 months of supply, an indicative figure on 2 closings in 12 months. The pull records the final list price only, so price changes are read listing by listing when we prepare a valuation. We do not blend the MLS figures with the county record, because the two sources measure different things.
The county recorded 5 qualified Barefoot Beach Club I sales in the last 24 months, so a listing here is read closely by the few buyers who are looking.

Barefoot Beach Club I condos recorded 8 qualified sales in the last 60 months, from $1,400,000 to $3,335,000, and the median of these 8 sales is $2,490,000. The tables below list every one with its date, street address, building, county base area, price per square foot and Official Records book and page.
Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)
We tracked every one of the eight. Price per square foot uses the county’s base area, the Property Appraiser’s measurement and not the living area the Southwest Florida MLS reports, so it is a county yardstick shown sale by sale. The median of these 8 sales is $2,490,000, the mean of the fourth and fifth prices when sorted, $2,480,000 and $2,500,000.
| Date | Address and building | Recorded price | County base area (sq ft) | Price per sq ft (base area) | Official Records |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 9, 2023 | 253 Barefoot Beach Blvd, building I | $2,480,000 | 1,726 | $1,437 | 6249/2226 |
| Jul 28, 2023 | 253 Barefoot Beach Blvd, building I | $3,335,000 | 2,003 | $1,665 | 6275/3064 |
| Sep 28, 2023 | 253 Barefoot Beach Blvd, building I | $2,030,000 | 1,604 | $1,266 | 6293/2305 |
| Apr 4, 2025 | 255 Barefoot Beach Blvd, building II | $2,750,000 | 1,726 | $1,593 | 6456/1849 |
| Apr 8, 2025 | 255 Barefoot Beach Blvd, building II | $2,500,000 | 2,003 | $1,248 | 6460/2684 |
| Jul 9, 2025 | 253 Barefoot Beach Blvd, building I | $1,400,000 | 1,604 | $873 | 6490/605 |
| Jul 30, 2025 | 257 Barefoot Beach Blvd, building III | $2,950,000 | 2,003 | $1,473 | 6495/1313 |
| Aug 15, 2025 | 257 Barefoot Beach Blvd, building III | $1,875,000 | 1,726 | $1,086 | 6500/3986 |
Four of the eight were at 253, two at 255 and two at 257, all resales. The price per square foot runs from $873 to $1,665. The two lowest, $873 and $1,086, were both recorded in the summer of 2025, and the highest, $1,665, is a 2,003 square foot home at 253 sold on July 28, 2023 for $3,335,000, the record high for Club I in the county file. The record carries no condition, floor, view or furnishings.
The 8 sales fall unevenly across the three buildings, so no building median exists.
| Building | Street number | Qualified sales, 60 months | Low | High |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| I | 253 | 4 | $1,400,000 | $3,335,000 |
| II | 255 | 2 | $2,500,000 | $2,750,000 |
| III | 257 | 2 | $1,875,000 | $2,950,000 |
| All three buildings | 8 | $1,400,000 | $3,335,000 |
The counts add to 8 (4, 2 and 2). Two sales say what two buyers paid for two homes, so buildings II and III are examples, not building prices.
The county file also lists 7 recorded deeds over $100,000 in the last 60 months that it did not mark qualified, from $1,000,000 to $3,850,000. This is a separate series with no median here, and the file does not say why any deed was left out. Our inference, and it is only an inference, is that the flag is thin in 2022 and 2024, the years of Hurricane Ian and the autumn 2024 storms.
| Date | Address and building | Recorded price | County base area (sq ft) | Price per sq ft (base area) | Official Records |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oct 6, 2021 | 253 Barefoot Beach Blvd, building I | $1,000,000 | 1,604 | $623 | 6024/3824 |
| Mar 8, 2022 | 257 Barefoot Beach Blvd, building III | $2,450,000 | 1,726 | $1,419 | 6099/3315 |
| Jul 1, 2022 | 255 Barefoot Beach Blvd, building II | $3,495,000 | 2,003 | $1,745 | 6149/1483 |
| Jan 10, 2024 | 253 Barefoot Beach Blvd, building I | $2,850,000 | 1,726 | $1,651 | 6321/2032 |
| Mar 9, 2024 | 253 Barefoot Beach Blvd, building I | $3,850,000 | 2,003 | $1,922 | 6340/59 |
| Dec 16, 2024 | 255 Barefoot Beach Blvd, building II | $2,800,000 | 2,003 | $1,398 | 6426/269 |
| Feb 23, 2026 | 257 Barefoot Beach Blvd, building III | $1,200,000 | 1,726 | $695 | 6557/3360 |
By year, the seven are 1 in 2021, 2 in 2022, 3 in 2024 and 1 in 2026. The February 2026 deed is the most recent recorded Club I deed of this size, so one deed was recorded after the qualified list ends in August 2025. Together that makes 15 recorded deeds over $100,000 in 60 months.
In the county’s qualified record, all 5 Barefoot Beach Club I resales since October 2021 that have an earlier qualified resale closed above that same home’s previous qualified resale. The sample is five, the holding periods run from 4.4 to 25.4 years, and the figures ignore what owners spent, so we report observations and make no claim about direction.
Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)
Each row pairs a qualified sale in the last 60 months with the same home’s previous qualified resale. We left out 1991 builder-direct first sales, because a purchase from the developer is not comparable to a resale. Three of the 8 recent sales had only a builder-direct sale before them and are not paired.
| Later sale | Address and building | Earlier qualified resale | Later price | Change | Percent | Years between |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jul 28, 2023 | 253, building I | Jan 18, 2015, $1,230,000 | $3,335,000 | +$2,105,000 | +171.1% | 8.5 |
| Apr 4, 2025 | 255, building II | Oct 26, 2020, $1,320,000 | $2,750,000 | +$1,430,000 | +108.3% | 4.4 |
| Apr 8, 2025 | 255, building II | Jun 30, 2011, $1,298,000 | $2,500,000 | +$1,202,000 | +92.6% | 13.8 |
| Jul 9, 2025 | 253, building I | Feb 7, 2000, $635,000 | $1,400,000 | +$765,000 | +120.5% | 25.4 |
| Aug 15, 2025 | 257, building III | Jun 2, 2016, $1,200,000 | $1,875,000 | +$675,000 | +56.3% | 9.2 |
The five holding periods run from 4.4 to 25.4 years, with a median of 9.2. The home that sold on April 8, 2025 shows a chain that did not move in one direction: $1,600,000 on May 8, 2008, then $1,298,000 on June 30, 2011, then $2,500,000. The roll dates every home to 1991, so none of the pairs is a rebuilt home as far as it shows, but it cannot show interior renovations, and the pairs ignore tax and ownership costs.
What a seller should take from this is narrow. Five pairs across 82 homes, spread over years when interest rates, insurance costs and storms all changed, cannot support a statement about where prices are going, and we make none.
The most recent county-qualified sale in Barefoot Beach Club I was $1,875,000 for a 1,726 square foot home in building III at 257 Barefoot Beach Blvd on August 15, 2025. It is a public record, not a McGreevy and Comisar sale. Walking through it shows what a county record can tell a seller and what it cannot.
Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)
The county file records the sale at $1,875,000, at Official Records book 6500, page 3986, as a qualified resale of a home with a county base area of 1,726 square feet, which is $1,086 per square foot. The same home sold on June 2, 2016 for $1,200,000, 9.2 years earlier, which is $675,000 more (1,875,000 minus 1,200,000), or 56.3 percent of the earlier price. Its chain also shows a builder-direct first sale in May 1991 for $262,000, a resale in April 1997 for $420,000 and one in April 2004 for $910,000. The county’s 2026 preliminary just value for this home, $1,562,030, is the Property Appraiser’s valuation for tax purposes and not a sale price, and it is 83.3 percent of the recorded price (1,562,030 divided by 1,875,000). We did not read this home’s permits and state nothing about its condition.
The $1,086 per square foot is the second lowest of the 8 recorded sales, above only the $873 recorded on July 9, 2025. The price sits $615,000 below the median of the 8 sales, $2,490,000, and the record carries no floor, view or condition to say why.
We price a Barefoot Beach Club I condo from the nearest like home in the county’s recorded sales, matching building, floor plan, size and position, and then adjust for what only a walk-through shows. We never price from an automated estimate, and you see every comparable, labelled by source and date, before you choose a list price.
Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)
The 8 recorded sales describe no particular home. They ran from $1,400,000 to $3,335,000, both for homes at 253. We start with sales of your own floor plan and building and read each one individually. Your plan has recorded 2 sales if it is 1,604 square feet, 3 if it is 1,726 and 3 if it is 2,003, and none in the two penthouse plans of 2,226 and 2,408 square feet.
On the county’s base area, the 8 sales ran from $873 to $1,665 per square foot, a spread of almost two to one inside three buildings built the same year, which comes from floor, view, condition, renovation and timing. The median of these 8 sales, $1,351 per square foot, is context and nothing more, and base area is not living area. On Southwest Florida MLS living area, the 10 closings in the 36 months to October 3, 2026 had a median of $1,373 per square foot, and the two sources count sales differently. The pull records the final list price only, so price changes are read listing by listing when we prepare a valuation.
The county record carries a base area and a price. It says nothing about finish, the age of the air conditioning and windows, the balcony and screen enclosure, the floor or the Gulf view. We publish no dollar premium for any of them, because eight sales cannot support one, and we adjust from the sales we can show you.
When the record holds no sale in 12 months, an overpriced listing goes stale in front of the few buyers who are looking. We set a price we can defend with recorded sales and give the buyer’s agent and appraiser the same comparables. See our home valuation guide for Barefoot Beach Club I for the full method.
Five things move value most in a Barefoot Beach Club I condo: the floor plan, the building, the floor and view, the flood footprint with its elevation certificate, and the rental and pet rules that shape your buyer pool. The county record shows plan, building and tax value clearly, and it is silent on floor, view and finish.
Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll; recorded documents read October 1, 2026)
Club I has five floor plans, and the county roll counts them exactly: 10 homes of 1,604 square feet, 34 of 1,726, 34 of 2,003, 2 of 2,226 and 2 of 2,408. Building I has floors 2 to 6 with six homes each (30 homes) plus four penthouse-level homes, which is 34. Buildings II and III have floors 2 to 6 with four homes each (20) plus four on the penthouse level, which is 24 each. Ten plus 34 plus 34 plus 2 plus 2 is 82.
| County base area | Homes | Where | Share of Club I | Median 2026 preliminary just value | Qualified sales, 60 months |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1,604 sq ft | 10 | Building I only, the interior homes | 12.2% | $1,239,040 | 2 |
| 1,726 sq ft | 34 | All three buildings | 41.5% | $1,582,030 | 3 |
| 2,003 sq ft | 34 | All three buildings | 41.5% | $1,998,934 | 3 |
| 2,226 sq ft | 2 | Building I, interior penthouses | 2.4% | $2,150,180 | 0 |
| 2,408 sq ft | 2 | Building I, end penthouses | 2.4% | $2,339,440 | 0 |
| Total | 82 | 100% | $1,772,030 (all 82) | 8 |
Two things follow. The 1,604 square foot plan exists only in building I, so a buyer who wants the smallest plan has one building to choose from, and a seller of that plan competes only with the other nine. And only four homes in Club I are larger than 2,003 square feet, all penthouses in building I, and none has a qualified sale in 60 months. Just value is the county’s valuation for tax purposes and not a sale price.
The county’s 2026 preliminary median just value is $1,602,030 for building I at 253 and $1,825,482 for each of buildings II and III, a gap that mostly reflects the plan mix, since building I holds all ten 1,604 square foot homes. Building I recorded 4 of the 8 sales, building II 2 and building III 2, which is too few for a building premium.
The county record has no field for floor or view, so it cannot show what a higher floor or an open Gulf view adds here, and we do not guess. We photograph and describe the floor, balcony, enclosure and outlook so the buyer sees them before the showing.
Every building is in FEMA Zone AE at 11 feet, and by our reading of the public map layers part of each footprint sits in the VE 12 zone: 25 percent at 253, 4 percent at 255 and 21 percent at 257. Collier County’s elevation certificate index holds a certificate for 253, entered April 19, 2022, and returned none for 255 or 257, so we ask you first whether yours is on file.
The 20-pound aggregate pet limit rules out most buyers with a dog. The 30-day lease floor, with no more than three leases a year and board approval, rules out nightly and weekly use and suits a seasonal pattern. Buyers who need a published fee schedule on day one will not find one, so we gather the budgets and estoppel before you list.
Your Barefoot Beach Club I condo buyer will pay county property tax and assessments to three layers: the Club I association, the Club umbrella association at 1/348 of its budget and, through the umbrella, a share of the Master Association’s boulevard and gate costs. Only the tax has a published figure: a median 2026 preliminary bill of $14,099 at 9.4020 mills.
Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll; recorded documents read October 1, 2026)
Buyers and their lenders add the layers together before they offer. Each row shows who levies the layer, what the recorded documents say it covers and whether a dollar amount is published.
| Layer | Who levies it | What the recorded documents say | Published amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Club I assessment | Barefoot Beach Club I Condominium Association, Inc. | The three buildings, the condominium’s common elements and its insurance, shared at 1/82 per home | None found |
| Club umbrella assessment | Barefoot Beach Club Condominium Owners Association, Inc. | Pools, recreation facilities, clubhouse and parking, landscaping, private streets, the surface water system and a pro rata share of the boulevard, at 1/348 per home | None found |
| Master level | Barefoot Beach Master Association, Inc., through its member entities | The roughly 1.8 mile boulevard, the guarded gate, street lighting and speed humps; reaches a Club I owner through the umbrella | None found |
| Special assessments | Any layer | None found in the recorded documents we read | None found |
| Transfer or capital-contribution fee | Umbrella declaration | “Not exceeding the maximum permitted by law” | None found |
| County taxes | Collier County and its taxing districts | 9.4020 mills on the 2026 preliminary roll | Median bill $14,099 |
The 2026 preliminary millage is 9.4020 mills on every Barefoot Beach parcel: 3.9293 for the county, 4.1470 for schools and 1.3257 for other districts, with nothing for a municipality because there is none. As an illustration for a non-homestead purchase at the median 2026 preliminary just value of $1,772,030, before exemptions and non-ad valorem charges, the tax would be $16,660.63 (1,772,030 times 9.4020 divided by 1,000). The actual median bill across the 82 homes is $14,099.43, from $2,656.09 to $21,506.62, lower partly because 19 of the 82 homes (23.2 percent) carry a homestead exemption, our proxy for full-time residency. After a sale, Florida resets the new owner’s assessment to just value as of January 1 of the following year under section 193.155(3)(a), so your bill is not a forecast of your buyer’s.
Three documents hold the numbers. The budget and annual financial statement come in the package a buyer is entitled to under Florida Statute 718.503. The estoppel certificate under Florida Statute 718.116 states what is owed, the paid-through date and any transfer fee or capital contribution. The umbrella and Master Association budgets show the other two layers. We publish no estoppel fee dollars and no assessment estimate, because the statutory cap adjusts over time.
A condominium has two insurance layers, and a Barefoot Beach Club I buyer needs both: the association’s master policy on the buildings and an owner’s HO-6 policy for contents, improvements and liability, plus flood coverage where the lender or the buyer wants it. Every building is in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area. We found no published premium and estimate none.
Data updated: October 2026 (Florida Statutes sections 718.111, 627.714 and 627.351, FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer queried October 1, 2026, Collier County map layers)
The association carries the master policy under Florida Statute 718.111, and its deductible is a common expense shared by owners. Each owner carries an HO-6 policy, which Florida Statute 627.714 requires to include at least $2,000 of loss assessment coverage. A buyer asks for the master policy summary, the deductible by peril, whether the master policy covers flood and the age of the roof and windows.
The Florida Building Code design wind speed for a Risk Category II building at this site is 161 miles per hour, and all of Barefoot Beach is in the wind-borne debris region. Florida lets insurers credit documented wind features under Florida Statute 627.0629. A buyer who gets an HO-6 quote inside the inspection period does not need an extension.
Flood coverage is priced per address, and the elevation certificate is the document that prices it. Unincorporated Collier County holds a Community Rating System Class 5 rating, which gives a 25 percent discount on National Flood Insurance Program policies but not on private flood policies, and FloodSmart is the program’s consumer site. Federal flood insurance is available because no Club I building is in a Coastal Barrier Resources System unit. A lender’s condominium questionnaire commonly asks about the association’s insurance, litigation, delinquencies and reserves, and we do not speak for any lender.
Florida Statute 627.351 governs Citizens. The statute does not require flood coverage as a condition for a Citizens policy issued under a condominium unit owners form, so a buyer with a Citizens HO-6 faces a different rule than a buyer with a single-family policy. A risk is not eligible for Citizens unless the private-market premium is more than 20 percent greater than the Citizens premium for comparable coverage. We cannot say what any buyer will be quoted.
A Barefoot Beach Club I seller must let the buyer receive the section 718.503 condominium document package at the seller’s expense, include the conspicuous 7-day cancellation clause in the contract, complete the section 689.302 flood disclosure and disclose known material facts that are not readily visible. This is a condominium governed by chapter 718, so the homeowners association disclosure summary does not apply.
Data updated: October 2026 (Florida Statutes sections 718.503, 718.116, 689.302 and 201.02, read 2026-10-02)
Under Florida Statute 718.503, a purchaser who has entered into a contract for a condominium unit is entitled, at the seller’s expense, to a current copy of the declaration, articles of incorporation, bylaws and rules, the annual financial statement and budget, the milestone inspection summary where one applies, the association’s most recent structural integrity reserve study or a statement that none has been completed, any turnover inspection report the statute calls for, and the Frequently Asked Questions and Answers document. We state no building’s milestone or reserve study status on this page. We gather the package before you list.
Section 718.503(2)(d) requires a contract for the resale of a residential unit to carry, in conspicuous type, a clause that lets the buyer cancel by written notice within 7 days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, after signing the contract and receiving the documents. For contracts entered into after December 31, 2024, paragraph (2)(e) adds a parallel clause that runs 7 days on the same counting after the buyer receives the milestone inspection summary, the turnover inspection report and the most recent reserve study, where applicable. A package delivered with the first offer starts that clock early.
The estoppel certificate under Florida Statute 718.116 states what is owed to the association and must issue within 10 business days of a request. The fee is capped by statute and adjusts over time, and we publish no figure. Separately, the umbrella declaration requires board approval of a sale, decided within 10 business days and refusable only for listed good cause. Neither clock starts until you ask, so we request both the day the contract is signed.
Section 689.302 requires a seller of residential property to give the buyer a flood disclosure at or before the time the contract is executed, covering flooding that damaged the property during your ownership, insurance claims for flooding and assistance you received to repair it. Section 689.261 separately requires a property tax disclosure. Answer both in writing, with your repair invoices beside them.
Under Johnson v. Davis, a seller of a home must disclose known facts that materially affect its value and are not readily observable. For a condominium that has been through Hurricane Ian, that includes water intrusion, past repairs inside your home and a pending assessment you know of. This page is information, not legal advice.
Barefoot Beach Club I is a condominium, so section 718.503 and its 7-day clause govern the resale. The homeowners association disclosure summary in chapter 720 applies to the Villas at Barefoot Beach and the single-family neighborhoods, not to these buildings, and a closing agent or attorney can confirm what applies to your sale.
Buyers of a Barefoot Beach Club I condo ask for the elevation certificate, the master policy summary, flood history and the permit and notice record. Every building is FEMA Zone AE at 11 feet NAVD88, with part of each footprint in VE 12 by our reading of the public map layers, in Evacuation Zone A, and Hurricane Ian left an 11.76-foot high-water mark inside the gates.
Data updated: October 2026 (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer and Collier County map layers queried October 1, 2026, USGS high-water mark, National Hurricane Center reports, Collier Clerk records)
We queried FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer and Collier County’s public map layers on October 1, 2026, at the address points and building footprints for 253, 255 and 257. All three are on Collier County flood map panel 12021C0179J, effective February 8, 2024, and none is inside a Coastal Barrier Resources System unit. The shares, distances and lines below are our reading of the public map layers, and the FIRM panel and an elevation certificate from a Florida surveyor govern.
| Address | Zone at the address point | Share of the building footprint by zone | Distance to the Limit of Moderate Wave Action line, east of the Club | Distance seaward of the 1989 state control line |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 253 (building I) | AE, base flood elevation 11 ft | AE 11: 75%; VE 12: 25% | 180 m | 161 m |
| 255 (building II) | AE, base flood elevation 11 ft | AE 11: 96%; VE 12: 4% | 170 m | 155 m |
| 257 (building III) | AE, base flood elevation 11 ft | AE 11: 79%; VE 12: 21% | 166 m | 132 m |
FEMA’s flood insurance rating rules say that a building located in more than one flood zone is rated in the more hazardous zone. On our reading of the public map layers, all three Club I buildings are crossed by the line between AE 11 and VE 12, so a point lookup that says “AE” understates the exposure. Under Risk Rating 2.0 the zone no longer sets an individual flood premium, but it still drives the building code’s flood design class, the 50 percent rule and a lender’s flood determination.
Collier County’s Floodplain Management Ordinance 2019-01 applies a 50 percent rule: a repair or improvement costing 50 percent or more of the building’s value, as the ordinance counts it, triggers current elevation standards, and the county’s freeboard is one foot above base flood elevation, so a building at 11 feet is built to 12. Your elevation certificate and permit record answer a renovating buyer before it becomes a price cut.
Two different lines apply at the beach. By our reading of the public map layers all three Club I buildings stand 132 to 161 meters seaward of the state’s 1989 Coastal Construction Control Line, where the Florida Department of Environmental Protection requires a permit for construction, and 3 to 15 meters landward of the county’s separate 1974 Coastal Construction Setback Line. Neither line says anything about the condition of a building.
The record shows that Hurricane Ian reached Barefoot Beach on September 28, 2022, and that a Notice of Commencement naming buildings 253, 255 and 257 for “concrete repairs and door replace” was recorded on November 17, 2022 at Official Records book 6191, page 1058. Two more Club I notices followed in 2023, and two on July 9, 2026 state a scope of repairing outdoor decks and screen enclosures. The notices do not say which homes, what the work cost or how it was funded, so we draw no conclusion and name no building-level damage.
On May 17, 2023, Club I recorded a Temporary Beach Restoration Easement to Collier County at book 6248, page 1109, which terminates on December 31, 2043 and which a title commitment should list. The National Hurricane Center’s report on Ian says maximum inundation of 8 to 12 feet above ground occurred in Estero, Bonita Beach, Bonita Springs and North Naples. The U.S. Geological Survey’s high-water mark of 11.76 feet NAVD88 is at Barefoot Beach Boulevard and Anguilla Lane, at the north end of the community and not at Club I, where the 2024 map shows a base flood elevation of 10 feet, so the mark is about 1.76 feet above it (11.76 minus 10). We cite it for the water surface, not as a statement about any Club I building.
Collier County is the permitting authority for the buildings, and the association approves exterior and common-element work first. An open permit can delay a closing, so we search the county’s permit portal for your address before we list and tell you what we find, so that a surprise comes to you and not to the buyer on day nine of the inspection period.
Four sets of rules touch a Barefoot Beach Club I sale: the board’s approval of a sale, the umbrella declaration’s lease terms, the 20-pound pet limit in the Club I declaration, and the occupancy and vehicle rules. The pet limit and the three-leases-a-year cap are the two that most change your buyer pool.
Data updated: October 2026 (recorded Collier County Clerk documents at Official Records book 4612, pages 3203 and 3276, read October 1, 2026)
The umbrella’s Amended and Restated Master Declaration, section 9, requires board approval of a sale, to be decided within 10 business days and refused only for listed good cause. It allows a transfer fee up to the statutory maximum plus the estoppel fee. Because the declaration does not say which board is meant in every clause, we ask the association which board approves what and submit the buyer’s application the day the contract is signed.
Section 8 of the umbrella declaration, as restated in 2010, requires a written lease, board approval with a 15-day decision period, a term of 30 consecutive days or one calendar month up to one year, and no more than three leases a year. Room rentals and subleasing are not permitted, and the tenant must consent to a background check. Collier County’s short-term rental registration under Ordinance 2021-45 covers rentals of fewer than 30 consecutive days, a separate source from the declaration. Whether the Club I board has adopted a stricter policy in its Rules and Regulations is not confirmed.
Section 14.15 of the Club I declaration, as restated in 2010, sets an aggregate pet weight of 20 pounds, the combined weight of all pets in a home, so two 10-pound cats reach the limit and a single 25-pound dog does not qualify. The umbrella declaration allows 45 pounds for the Club and says a condominium may be stricter, and Club I is the only one of the four whose declaration sets a lower limit. Pets are not allowed on the beach. Disclose the limit at the first showing.
The umbrella declaration caps occupancy at four persons in a two-bedroom home and six in a three-bedroom home and limits guest use while the owner is absent. Commercial vehicles, recreational vehicles, boats and trailers may not be kept overnight unless enclosed. We found no age restriction in the five 2010 Club declarations. The Rules and Regulations are not recorded, so renovation, shutter, balcony, enclosure and move-in rules and fines are not confirmed, and we ask the association in writing.
The 2009 turnover agreement requires the Master Association to staff the guardhouse around the clock with a licensed security guard and bars public parking on the main roadway. A guest, vendor or delivery procedure is not published, so we confirm each showing’s access with the gatehouse and register buyers’ agents in advance. Membership in The Club at Barefoot Beach, Inc. is separate from your deed, and no recorded document we read conveys it with a Club I condo.
The county record cannot name a best month for a Barefoot Beach Club I sale, because 8 qualified sales over 60 months is too few to separate a season from chance. Two recorded in April, one in May, three in July, one in August and one in September. Days on market is not available.
Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)
The 8 recorded deeds fall in five months: April (2), May (1), July (3), August (1) and September (1), with none from October through March. That is a pattern in a very small record, not proof of seasonality, and we draw no trend or premium conclusion from it.
We cannot say a winter listing sells faster or for more, because the county file holds deed dates and prices and not listing dates. How long a Barefoot Beach Club I condo takes to sell is on record in the Southwest Florida MLS, pulled October 3, 2026: median days on market was 164 for the 10 closings in the 36 months to that date, and the 2 closings in the last 12 months took 297 and 752 days. What we can say is that many owners here are seasonal, that a home ready to show in winter meets them in town, and that a well-documented listing file can sell in any month.
We market a Barefoot Beach Club I condo to the Gulf-side and seasonal buyer it attracts, with professional photography of the light and the water view, a documented listing file and exposure on the Southwest Florida MLS, our team site and our buyer database. The file answers flood, insurance and association questions first, so a buyer can get quotes before an offer.
Data updated: October 2026 (no Southwest Florida MLS figure is used in this section)
In a Gulf-side mid-rise the view and the layout are the product. We shoot the rooms that face the water in the light buyers will live in, photograph the balcony, the covered parking space and the storage unit, and show the floor plan beside the county’s base area. We describe a view or an enclosure only where a photograph supports each word.
Before a Barefoot Beach Club I listing goes live we assemble the declaration, bylaws and rules, the budgets and financial statement, the estoppel certificate, the master policy summary, the elevation certificate where one exists and the flood disclosure, with a plain note on the pet limit and lease rules. A buyer who can get an insurance quote on day three writes an offer on day four.
Your listing appears on the Southwest Florida MLS and on our team site, and goes to our database of qualified buyers across Southwest Florida. Buyers cannot drive past a sign inside a gated boulevard, so marketing does the work, and we register buyers’ agents with the gate in advance. For the whole community, our Barefoot Beach seller page shows how we market across every neighborhood.
We negotiate a Barefoot Beach Club I condo contract with documents, not concessions, as Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008. The partners who priced your condo answer the inspection, insurance, approval and association questions from the listing file, and protect your net at the repair-credit stage.
Data updated: October 2026 (Florida Statutes sections 718.503 and 689.302, read 2026-10-02)
Most renegotiation follows the inspection, usually over the air conditioning, windows, a past water event or the balcony and screen enclosure. When the file already answers the question, the buyer’s leverage shrinks, and when a request is a second negotiation on price we say so and hold.
A buyer’s agent who raises the flood zone, an HO-6 quote or an assessment is asking for documents. We answer with the elevation certificate where one exists, the master policy summary, the budgets and the estoppel certificate, and we state no building’s milestone or reserve study status.
The buyer’s 7-day cancellation window and the board’s 10-business-day approval decision both shape the timeline, and a buyer who learns of the 20-pound pet limit after signing can use the first. We put the limit, the lease rules and the approval step in the first offer package.
Financing, insurance readiness, inspection period, closing date and a seasonal occupancy request all change what you net and how likely the sale is to close. We lay the offers side by side. If you are buying your next home too, Call Marc at (239) 287-5873; our buyer guide for Barefoot Beach Club I shows the other side of the table.
A buyer choosing between Barefoot Beach Club I and Barefoot Beach Club III, the two Club condominiums whose buildings all stand on the Gulf side of the boulevard, weighs a smaller, older association with a 20-pound pet limit against a larger, one-year-newer one that allows 45 pounds. Club I has 82 homes and Club III has 92.
Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)
Every figure in the Club III column comes from the same county files and windows as ours. Club III is the county’s buildings VIII, X and XII at 265, 267 and 269, a different thing from Club I’s building III at 257.
| Question | Barefoot Beach Club I | Barefoot Beach Club III | What it means for your sale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buildings | 253 (34 homes), 255 (24) and 257 (24) | 265 (34), 267 (34) and 269 (24) | Both are Gulf-side mid-rises |
| Homes | 82 | 92 | You compete in a slightly smaller pool |
| Built, county roll | 1991 | 1992 | Club I is a year older |
| Floor plans | 10 of 1,604 sq ft, 34 of 1,726, 34 of 2,003, 2 of 2,226, 2 of 2,408 | 20 of 1,604, 32 of 1,726, 32 of 2,003, 4 of 2,226, 4 of 2,408 | Club III has more of the smallest plan and of the penthouses |
| Pet limit | 20 lb aggregate | 45 lb aggregate under the umbrella | A buyer with a mid-size dog may look at Club III |
| Flood, our reading of the public map layers | AE 11 at all three addresses; VE 12 on 4 to 25% of each footprint | AE 11 at 265 and 269, VE 12 at the 267 address point; VE 12 on 16 to 45% of each footprint | Club I’s footprint shares are lower on our reading |
| Qualified sales, 12 months | 0 | 4, $1,150,000 to $2,450,000 | Club III has more recent evidence |
| Qualified sales, 60 months | 8, $1,400,000 to $3,335,000 | 9, $1,150,000 to $2,600,000 | Neither has a median, since both are under 10 |
| Median just value, 2026 preliminary | $1,772,030 | $1,622,030 | The county values Club I higher at the median |
| Median 2026 preliminary tax bill | $14,099 | $14,258 | Carrying cost is close |
| Homestead | 19 of 82 (23.2%) | 17 of 92 (18.5%) | Similar |
| Lease terms | 30-day minimum, three leases a year | 30-day minimum, three leases a year | Equal |
The just value and tax differences are arithmetic on the county’s files: $1,772,030 minus $1,622,030 is $150,000, and $14,258 minus $14,099 is $159. Just value is the county’s valuation for tax purposes, not a sale price.
A Gulf-side buyer will often look at both associations in the same weekend. Our Barefoot Beach Club III guide sets out its record, and if you own there, our Barefoot Beach Club III seller page is the page for you. We price your condo against your own building and plan first, then explain the Club III alternative, including the pet limit that may decide the choice.
A buyer should choose Club I for the smaller association, the lower footprint shares by our reading and a dog under 20 pounds in total or no pets, and Club III for a mid-size dog, more recent county sales to read or more of the smallest plan and the penthouses. The choice is one of rules and position more than price, since 8 and 9 recorded sales cannot show that either commands more.
Across the Club the county’s 60-month record is thin. Club II has 10 qualified sales ($1,000,000 to $3,000,000), Club III 9, Club IV 5 ($1,150,000 to $2,370,000) and the whole Club 32 ($1,000,000 to $3,335,000), against 8 for Club I. Our Barefoot Beach Club II and Barefoot Beach Club IV pages go deeper, and the Barefoot Beach Club guide compares all four. For a fee-simple villa or a detached home, see the Villas at Barefoot Beach and Cottages at Barefoot Beach guides. For the whole community, see our Barefoot Beach guide.
Selling a Barefoot Beach Club I condo typically costs the seller negotiated brokerage compensation, deed documentary stamp tax at $0.70 per $100 of price, a lien search, prorated property tax and the association’s estoppel certificate. In Collier County the buyer customarily pays the owner’s title policy and chooses the closing agent, and the contract controls.
Data updated: October 2026 (Florida Statute 201.02, Collier County Property Appraiser 2026 preliminary tax roll, Florida DBPR estoppel fee notice, read 2026-10-02)
In Collier County the buyer customarily pays for the owner’s title policy and chooses the closing agent, and the seller customarily pays the documentary stamp tax on the deed. The contract controls both. We list no owner’s title policy as a seller cost and give no figure for it. For the statewide walk-through, see our guide to seller closing costs in Florida.
The first price is $2,500,000, a real recorded sale at 255 Barefoot Beach Blvd on April 8, 2025 and the sale nearest the $2,490,000 median of the 8 recorded sales. The second is $1,875,000, the most recent qualified sale, at 257 Barefoot Beach Blvd on August 15, 2025. The brokerage percentages are an illustration, not our fee, and the buyer-agent offer is optional and shown separately.
| Line | $2,500,000 sale (255, April 8, 2025) | $1,875,000 sale (257, August 15, 2025) |
|---|---|---|
| Sale price | $2,500,000 | $1,875,000 |
| Listing brokerage compensation, illustration at 2.5 percent | $62,500 | $46,875 |
| Optional buyer-agent offer, illustration at 2.5 percent | $62,500 | $46,875 |
| Deed documentary stamp tax, $0.70 per $100 (section 201.02) | $17,500 | $13,125 |
| Municipal lien search, our estimate (typical range $100 to $250) | $175 | $175 |
| Property tax proration at a June 30 closing, 181/365 of the $14,099.43 median 2026 preliminary bill | $6,992 | $6,992 |
| Association estoppel certificate | Capped by statute, not in total | Capped by statute, not in total |
| Total with the buyer-agent offer | $149,667 (5.99%) | $114,042 (6.08%) |
| Net before mortgage payoff, with the offer | $2,350,333 | $1,760,958 |
| Total without the buyer-agent offer | $87,167 (3.49%) | $67,167 (3.58%) |
| Net before mortgage payoff, without the offer | $2,412,833 | $1,807,833 |
The arithmetic is plain. At $2,500,000, 2.5 percent is $62,500, and $2,500,000 divided by 100 times $0.70 is $17,500. The tax proration is 181 divided by 365 of $14,099.43, which is $6,992. Adding $62,500, $62,500, $17,500, $175 and $6,992 gives $149,667, or 5.99 percent, and the net before payoff is $2,500,000 minus $149,667, or $2,350,333. At $1,875,000 the same lines total $114,042.
The sheet omits your mortgage payoff, association prorations, any transfer fee, repair credits, any special assessment, moving costs and the estoppel certificate fee, which statute caps and adjusts over time. We publish no estoppel fee dollars, and the median bill is a Club I figure, so your own bill, homestead status and closing date will change the proration.
Brokerage compensation is negotiated between you and your listing agent. The National Association of Realtors’ 2024 settlement made buyer agreements written and barred offers of compensation to buyer’s brokers on the multiple listing service, as the NAR settlement FAQs explain. Whether to offer a buyer’s agent compensation is your decision, which is why the sheet shows both outcomes.
Florida has no state personal income tax, so a Barefoot Beach Club I seller owes documentary stamp tax and prorated property tax at closing, and federal capital gains tax only on gain above the home-sale exclusion. A seller who used the home as a main home for two of the last five years can exclude up to $250,000, or $500,000 filing jointly.
Data updated: October 2026 (IRS Publication 523, Florida Statutes sections 193.155 and 201.02, read 2026-10-02)
IRS Publication 523 explains the exclusion. Gain above it is taxed, and a second home or a rental does not qualify the same way. Homestead appears on 19 of the 82 homes, so the exclusion may not apply to many sales here, and your basis may be far below today’s price, because the five repeat pairs show earlier sales as low as $635,000. A tax adviser should run your numbers before you set a price, and a foreign seller should ask the closing agent about federal withholding.
Florida Statute 201.02 puts the deed tax at 70 cents on each $100 of consideration, which is $17,500 on $2,500,000. Section 193.155 limits assessment growth for a homesteaded owner, and after a sale resets the new owner’s assessment to just value as of the next January 1, so your buyer’s bill will not match yours.
Most Barefoot Beach Club I owners net more by listing with an experienced agent, because the approval, estoppel, flood and insurance questions that stall a condominium sale are the ones an agent resolves in advance. A cash sale trades price for speed, and selling by owner leaves every disclosure and negotiation to you.
Data updated: October 2026 (Florida Statutes sections 718.503, 718.116 and 689.302, read 2026-10-02)
| What you care about | List with McGreevy and Comisar | Sell to a cash buyer | Sell by owner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exposure | Southwest Florida MLS, our team site and buyer database | One buyer | Whatever you arrange |
| Price discipline | Priced from recorded sales and defended at appraisal | Offer typically discounted for speed and risk | Set without the county record |

| Who should choose it | Most Barefoot Beach Club I sellers | Owners who value speed over price | Owners with a buyer in hand and strong paperwork |
Choose a listing if your price depends on facts a buyer must be shown: a documented plan, an elevation certificate, a clean association file or a home that suits a dog owner. Choose a cash sale if speed matters more than price, though board approval of up to 10 business days and the estoppel still apply. Choose to sell by owner only if a buyer is already in hand, and even then have a closing agent or attorney handle the 7-day clause. The county file does not record financing, so we cannot say how common cash buyers are.

Our free valuation for Barefoot Beach Club I explains how a value is built, and the range we send you uses the qualified sales for your plan and building, with the 24-month and 60-month counts beside every figure. Because no window holds 10 sales, we list the sales and do not average them. A walk-through adds floor, view, condition and finish, which no public record holds.

Sellers in Barefoot Beach Club I ask the questions below most often, and each answer is built from the county record, recorded association documents and the Florida statutes. Where a fact is not published we say so and name the document that answers it, and Southwest Florida MLS figures carry their pull date, October 3, 2026.
Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)
The county’s qualified record shows 8 sales in 60 months, from $1,400,000 to $3,335,000, and none in 12. Your condo sits somewhere in that range by plan, building, floor and condition. Our free valuation ties a figure to your plan.
The county recorded no qualified sale in the 12 months since October 2025, and one unqualified $1,200,000 deed on February 23, 2026 at 257. The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled October 3, 2026, shows 2 closings in the 12 months to that date, both at $1,200,000 at 257, on February 23, 2026 and August 21, 2026. The two sources count differently.
A condominium under chapter 718. You own your home and a share of the common elements, and your buyer gets the section 718.503 package and the 7-day cancellation clause, not the chapter 720 disclosure summary.
No. The Club at Barefoot Beach, Inc. is a separate private beach and tennis club at 105 Shell Drive, and no recorded document we read conveys its membership with a Club I deed. Verify any listing claim in writing.
Neither city. The mailing address reads Bonita Springs, FL 34134, but the buildings are in unincorporated Collier County, so Collier taxes, permits, schools and closing customs apply. Our Bonita Springs guide explains the difference.
Yes. Buildings I, II and III at 253, 255 and 257 stand on the odd-numbered, Gulf side of the boulevard. The Club’s east-side buildings at 260, 262, 264 and 266 belong to Clubs II and IV.
The 2026 preliminary millage is 9.4020 mills, and the median bill across the 82 homes is $14,099, from $2,656 to $21,507. After a sale your buyer’s assessment resets to just value as of the next January 1.
No dollar assessment appears in any recorded document or public page we found for the Club I association, the umbrella or the Master Association. Your estoppel certificate states what you owe. We publish no estoppel fee dollars.
A buyer under contract is entitled, at your expense, to the declaration, articles, bylaws and rules, the annual financial statement and budget, the milestone summary where one applies, the latest reserve study or a statement that none exists, and the FAQ document.
Yes, within 7 days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, after signing and receiving the documents. Delivering the package with the first offer starts that clock early.
Yes. The umbrella declaration requires board approval of a sale, decided within 10 business days and refused only for listed good cause. Submit the application the day the contract is signed.
The fee is capped by section 718.116 and the certificate must issue within 10 business days of a request. We publish no figure, because the cap adjusts over time and the association’s current amount is not public.
Yes, with limits: a written lease approved by the board, 30 consecutive days or one calendar month up to one year, no more than three leases a year, and no room rentals or subleasing.
Yes, for buyers with dogs. Section 14.15 of the Club I declaration limits pets to 20 pounds in aggregate, against 45 pounds elsewhere in the Club. Disclose it at the first showing.
Not under the recorded limit, unless the association grants an accommodation under fair housing law, a procedure that is not recorded. Clubs II, III and IV allow 45 pounds, and we can show those condos.
We found none. None of the five 2010 Club declarations we searched has 55-and-over language. The Rules and Regulations are not recorded, so ask the association to confirm in writing.
Yes. All three buildings are FEMA Zone AE at 11 feet on panel 12021C0179J, with 4 to 25 percent of each footprint in VE 12 by our reading of the public map layers, and in Evacuation Zone A.
A lender’s flood determination decides whether a lender requires it, and we do not speak for any lender. Federal flood insurance is available here. We publish no premium, because no source we can cite gives one.
A condominium lender’s questionnaire commonly asks about insurance, litigation, delinquencies and reserves. It is the lender’s own form. We gather the budgets, financial statement and master policy summary before you list.
Recorded notices of commencement show repair work in these buildings since 2022, and buyers ask what it covered and how it was funded. Gather permits and contracts. We name no building-level damage.
We cannot measure it without MLS data. Buyers ask about every assessment, so notices, payment history and stated purposes ready in hand remove uncertainty. We found no Club I special assessment notice in the public record.
Buyers and lenders ask for them, and the statute entitles a buyer under contract to the milestone summary where one applies and the latest reserve study. We report no building’s status. Gather them before listing.
The section 718.503 package, the section 689.302 flood disclosure and, under Johnson v. Davis, known facts that materially affect value and are not readily observable. Your attorney or closing agent decides what applies.
The contract controls. The seller customarily pays deed documentary stamp tax, any agreed commission and the proration of association dues and property tax. A $2,500,000 deed carries $17,500 of stamp tax.
By custom the buyer pays for the owner’s title policy and chooses the closing agent, and the contract controls. We list no owner’s title policy as a seller cost.
Florida has no state income tax, and federal tax depends on your basis, holding period and use. A second home does not qualify for the main-home exclusion the same way. Ask your CPA before you set a price.
By the nearest like home. Eight sales ranged from $873 to $1,665 per county square foot, and median just value by plan runs from $1,239,040 to $2,339,440. The record has no floor or view field.
Get association approval first, since the Rules and Regulations are not recorded, and check county permit needs. We weigh the cost against the nearest comparable sales and publish no dollar return for any project.
Yes, if the contract says so, with a separate list of included items. The association’s rules on moves and deliveries are not recorded, so confirm them before the buyer’s move-in date.
Not by anything we read. No recorded document we saw conveys a dock, a slip or a membership with a Club I deed. Verify any promise and put it in the contract.
We coordinate showings through the gatehouse, register buyers’ agents in advance and share photos and the floor plan first. The gate’s guest procedure is not published, so we confirm it with the Master Association.
Median days on market for the 10 Barefoot Beach Club I closings in the 36 months to October 3, 2026 was 164, per the Southwest Florida MLS, and the 2 closings in the last 12 months took 297 and 752 days. After a contract, board approval and the estoppel certificate can each take up to 10 business days, even for a cash buyer.
We cannot predict the market. The facts are 5 qualified sales in 24 months and none in 12, and questions every buyer asks about assessments, insurance and the pet limit. Your holding costs and plans decide.
No. Just value is the county’s valuation for tax purposes. The median of $1,772,030 is below the $2,490,000 median of the 8 recorded sales, and homestead bills are capped.
Building I is 253, building II is 255 and building III is 257. It matters for plan mix, since the 1,604 square foot plan exists only in building I, and for flood footprint share. Confirm against your deed.

We could not verify nine things for Barefoot Beach Club I as of October 2, 2026: Southwest Florida MLS figures, assessment amounts, the Rules and Regulations, the gate procedure, any building’s inspection and reserve study status, and several utility and scope details. We print each gap with the route that settles it, and we estimate none.
A Barefoot Beach specialist matters because the community’s value and paperwork sit in details most agents never learn: a master association above every neighborhood, a staffed gate, flood zones that change by address and, at Barefoot Beach Club I, three association layers and a 20-pound pet limit. Buyers pay for answered questions.
