Port Royal Naples Seasonal Rentals & Waterfront Homes

Port Royal is the most exclusive waterfront neighborhood in Naples, Florida. Surrounded by water on three sides (the Gulf of Mexico, Naples Bay and Gordon Pass), it is a quiet enclave of estate homes, private docks and wide, palm-lined streets, just minutes from Third Street South and Fifth Avenue South.

Naples Homes and Rentals offers luxury Port Royal seasonal rentals and homes for sale, with local brokers who know the neighborhood street by street.

Port Royal was planned around the water. Developer John Glen Sample turned the marshland at the southern tip of Naples into a waterfront community in the 1950s, and every home was planned with access to the water.

• Boating from your backyard. Many homes sit on deep-water canals or Naples Bay with private docks, and Gordon Pass offers a quick run out to the Gulf.
• Beachfront estates. Some of the largest homes in Naples sit directly on the Gulf along Gordon Drive.
• The Port Royal Club. A private beach club on the Gulf, opened in 1960, with dining, a pool, tennis and fitness. Membership is separate from owning or renting a home.
• Minutes from downtown. Third Street South, Fifth Avenue South, the Naples Pier and the Naples Yacht Club are all a short drive or bike ride away.
• Quiet streets. Port Royal has about 550 homes and is entirely residential, so it feels private and peaceful.

Port Royal rentals are booked by the month, most often for the winter season from January through April. Within the City of Naples, residential rentals generally must be 30 days or longer, so Port Royal homes are offered as monthly seasonal rentals rather than nightly stays.

Port Royal homes are among the most requested rentals in Naples, and the best ones are reserved a season or more ahead. View all Naples seasonal rentals or contact us to hear about Port Royal homes before they are listed.

Port Royal homes range from about $2 million to well over $50 million. Value depends on water frontage, canal width, views, how quickly a boat can reach Gordon Pass, and whether the lot sits on the bay, a canal or the Gulf.

Port Royal is one of the strongest seasonal rental markets in Naples. A well-located Port Royal home can earn significant winter rental income, helping owners offset carrying costs before they move here full time.
