Summer’s end opens Antilles’ fall sales initiative
Some Phase 2 Coach Homes can close in time to enjoy the full 2022-2023 Winter Season
If you have not visited the new construction, South Naples community located off the Collier Boulevard corridor, or have not done so lately, the milder late summer weather makes it a good time to visit, see how the community is growing and survey the natural beauty of its singular setting. Antilles amenities and all 68 of its sold out Phase 1 residences are complete. Over the last months, construction on the 84 Coach Homes in Phase 2 has proceeded well and the first of those to be delivered to their buyers are now owner occupied, with more due to close during the 4th quarter of this year. Phase 2 construction will progress in a continual rolling manner until it is completed. As of the writing, a few residences are available.
All Coach Homes offer 3-Bedroom, single-floor layouts, and are built as 4-unit structures. Classic Coach Home floorplans are in the 1,500 square foot range and include single-car Garages. Pricing starts in the high $400,000’s. Larger Grand Coach Homes start in the upper $500,000’s to mid-$600,000’s for 1,980 to 2,444 square foot residences with 2-car Garages. Great Room-wide, enclosed Lanais are standard features with all units. Furnished models are available for accompanied viewing.
Since three-quarters of Antilles’ 212 units are in varying stages of completion, how the community will appear when completed is now more evident. Even without all of Phase 2’s landscaping, which cannot be fully installed until construction is complete, Antilles handsome and contemporary West Indies Island style architecture, elegant palette and fresh, bright plantings further define it as a hidden gem tucked back in a cul de sac location at the end of a long approach. The unseen asset of its quiet location enhances daily life at Antilles as much as its unobstructed views in all directions and the endless availability of nature sightings, courtesy of Rookery Bay Reserve’s 110,000 acres of protected lands, its neighbor to the west. The balance of Antilles’ Grand Coach Homes will be built along its western edge in Phase 3. Some will continue to wrap around its central 5-acre Kingfisher Lake and wetland preserve, and include water views enhanced by twin triple tiered fountains. The balance will include very private, landscaped orientations. Pricing for the final releases of Phase 2 and for Phase 3 has not yet been determined, but the community has grown so much since last season, it warrants another visit to take in all it has to offer.
Naples is ranked at the top of Travel + Leisure Magazine’s Safest Cities List, a significant honor when considering where to live. Add that to the plus side of Antilles’ premium building standards and community amenities. Exteriors are superior concrete block construction with smooth coat stucco finishes. Concrete roof tiles and brick paver walk and driveways coordinate with the homes and create a refined community presentation. 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, sleek rocker style lighting switches and cove ceilings per plan. Wide profile, porcelain tile or luxury vinyl plank flooring can be used throughout the unit with subtle designer carpeting in the bedrooms. Kohler plumbing fixtures and heavy-weight frameless glass shower enclosures tiled to the ceiling are standard. All units include Linen Closets, Pantries, walk-in Master Closets and separate Laundry Rooms, all built out with custom fitted wood shelving to promote air circulation. Quartz countertops are standard throughout, as are Kitchen island pendant fixtures, Laundry and stainless steel Kitchen appliances. Phase 2 Coach Homes feature rectangular, single-basin Kitchen sinks. Recessed lighting and advance wiring for data, voice and video are standard.

When comparing other new construction communities in the Naples area to Antilles, please note that what sets its homes apart is also included as standard in the list price.
The Flamingo Club amenity center is at the heart of community life. It is as representative of Antilles’ luxury resort presentation as it is of the quality built into every residence. Its Entry is flooded with light from wide windows and the Exercise and Fitness Center, Maintenance Office and Catering Kitchen are to the rear. Antilles’ Selection Center, where buyers determine their personalizing options, is also there and will be converted for the homeowners use when sales and marketing are complete. The huge Gathering Room occupies about one-half of the Club’s 5,000 square foot expanse and features wall to wall views across the community. It includes the Fireplace Lounge with comfortable furnishings and a big screen TV, Sonny’s all day Coffee Bar and multiple round tables and chairs perfect for dining and general socializing.
The oversized 3,500 square foot Resort Pool dominates Antilles’ 9,000 squad foot Outdoor Living Area, its curving, free form shape and inviting wade-in, sun shelf entry are an enduring attraction few can resist. It is surrounded by sun and shade Decks with multiple lounging and seating arrangements.
