Under construction and ready to move in 4th quarter 

With a little advance planning, you can give yourself your best Holiday gift ever.  Avoid the seasonal rush.  Come to Antilles’ in south Naples now and become a part of its celebration of all that is exceptional every day about living in Southwest Florida.  Guaranteed year round gorgeous sunny weather and a casual indoor-outdoor lifestyle, all while living in a successful no- state-income-tax economy, are as much a Florida standard of measure as manatee sightings and Key lime pie.  What Antilles brings to the celebration is a handsome, new construction Coach Home community featuring residences which include as standard fittings the kind of features frequently offered only as upgrades by other developers at its price points.  Add to that the serenity of its landscaped and preserve-enclosed location set back a quiet distance from daily traffic and surrounded by big-sky views in all directions.  Antilles’ location is further enhanced by being only minutes from the best of both Old Naples’ world class vacation attractions and Marco Island’s beach and boating experiences.  The 54-acre community includes 212 residences and a generous amenity package that encompasses 14,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor enhancements at no extra cost to homeowners.  Everything from a state of the art Fitness Center, Conference Room, Catering Kitchen and huge Gathering Room socializing space, to the Resort Pool, Spa, Tiki Hut and Fire Pit, plus multiple regulation Game Courts and a Putting Green, has been included by JMD Development as low-fee amenities to engage Antilles’ homeowners and encourage an active outdoor lifestyle.

Antilles’ Classic Coach Homes in the 1,500+ square foot range are priced from the upper $400,000’s and larger Grand Coach Homes, between 1,980 and 2,400+ square feet under air, are from the high $500,000’s to mid $600,000’s.  Lake and landscaped orientations are available.   Low monthly fees continue to be a strong selling point among buyers, while life around the 3,500 square foot Resort Pool - in or out of the water - has turned into many homeowners’ first-choice delight.  Even during Phase 2’s on-going construction, it is a fun and peaceful spot.

All of Antilles’ Phase 1 inventory homes have sold out.  Phase 2 units follow the same 4-residence Coach Home format, each with its own private and attached Garage.  Some Phase 2

Classic and Grand Coach Home availabilities remain.  They are in varying stages of completion with several being delivered this month. More will be completed in a rolling cycle by Christmas and the balance of Phase 2 is on schedule to be delivered during the winter 2023 season.

Antilles’ Classic Coach Homes offer 3-Bedroom floorplans, a Great Room style main living area with screened-in Lanais as wide as the Great Room and single-car Garages.  The designer model of the first floor Saba unit is currently being installed and includes a Kitchen feature not seen previously.  Its U-shaped island peninsula  features an extended countertop,  and cabinetry and seating. While the Saba model is being prepared, you can visit the Grand Coach Home Montserrat decorator model to see the quality of Antilles’ standard features and construction specifications.

The Classic Coach Home’s upper floor Tobago floorplan is enhanced by the same Kitchen and still offers higher ceilings and larger 2nd Bedrooms within its 1,509 square foot layout.  Its upper floor, western orientation gives the Tobago some of the best unobstructed sunset views in Antilles. Since the 110,000-acre Rookery Bay Reserve is Antilles’ neighbor to the west, no highrises can be built to interfere with its protected native and migratory birds flight patterns, nor Antilles view for that matter.

Grand Coach Homes include 2-Car Garages in addition to full Great Room-width screened-in Lanais which are accessed by twin triple-tiered slider door installations that span the main living area floor to ceiling.  The first floor Nevis floorplan has a side Entry that showcases its entire Great Room as soon as you open the door.  It features a huge chef’s Kitchen complete with oversized island that has sight lines over the entire living area.  A favorite feature of the Nevis is its separate Storage Room in addition to the walk-in Pantry, both of which are lined with floor to ceiling shelves.  The upper floor Montserrat floorplan has a first floor Entry that sets it apart for its private, single family home ambience.  Its floorplan mirrors the Nevis in many features and also focuses on the Kitchen as the heart of the home.  At 2,444 square feet under air, its high ceilings and gracious proportions also add to its spacious feel.

As a good value purchase, the details that are built into every home in Antilles define its worth.  Standard finishes include substantial 8-foot, solid core interior doors, hurricane-rated windows and doors, Shaker style Kitchen cabinetry with 42-inch high uppers, tall baseboards, wide trims, recessed lighting with sleek rocker style switches, cove ceilings per plan, wide profile, porcelain tile flooring and subtle designer carpeting in the bedrooms.  Kohler plumbing fixtures, heavy-weight frameless glass shower enclosures and custom designed wood Closet shelving that promotes air ventilation are standard in all units.   All residences include Linen Closets, Pantries, walk-in Master Closets and separate Laundry Rooms.  Grand Coach Homes include utility sinks and Classic Coaches offer bathtubs in the 2nd Bath.  Quartz countertops are standard throughout, as are Kitchen island pendant fixtures and stainless steel Kitchen appliances - including on-trend French door style refrigerators.  Recessed lighting and advance wiring for data, voice and video are standard.  Combined with its elegant West Indies Island style architecture rendered in soft dove grey with sharp white trims, charcoal shutters and multiple value-adding roof lines, Antilles presents a residence as handsome as it is well engineered.  It is a pet friendly community and has a supply of dog treats on hand to prove it.
