Port Royal
Contributing Writers Mitch & Sandi Williams
T
here is a world-class lifestyle waiting for you on the glittering
Southwest coast of Florida. Offering amenities and lifestyle
options "fit for a king," Port Royal has always been a
playground for the rich and famous, frequently hosting U.S.
presidents and world dignitaries. A boater's paradise, perfectly
nestled between the warm waters and sandy beaches of the Gulf of
Mexico and Naples Bay, it comprises much of the southern tip of the
city of Naples, Florida.
This prestigious landmark is considered one of the finest
neighborhoods in the world. Here you will find a community of
exceptionally luxurious private single-family homes, featuring the
very best refinements for living well. Port Royal has been uniquely
designed to capture extraordinary panoramic water vistas and
utilize rare, deep-water access for boaters. Residents savor the services of the exclusive Port Royal Club and enjoy a close
proximity to the resources of Naples and its exciting environs.
This amazing neighborhood was the brainchild of lauded real estate developer, John Glen Sample. His ambition, as related to
Miami Herald staffer, Nixon Smiley, while touring the neighborhood in Sample's pewter gray Rolls Royce, was "to make Port
Royal the finest place in the world to live." He was so intrigued by Jamaica's "Pirate City," Port Royal, that he named his new
Florida venture Port Royal as well. Today, the only allusion to pirates is an unassuming entrance sign, brandishing
images of tall ships, swords, and pirates making-land as well as Sample's colorful pirate-themed street names, such as
Spyglass Lane, Rum Row, Man of War Cove and Buccaneers Roost.
