Port Royal stands as one of the most exclusive and prestigious waterfront neighborhoods in Naples, Florida and indeed, the entire United States. Nestled along the Gulf of America with direct access to Naples Bay, this enclave offers unparalleled luxury, privacy, and coastal elegance. Whether you're dreaming of a multi million dollar estate with private docks or simply exploring Naples' high end communities, Port Royal delivers a lifestyle few places can match.
A Brief History of Port Royal
Developer John Glenn Sample, a former advertising executive from Chicago, transformed mangrove swamps into this paradise starting in the late 1930s. He named it after the infamous 17th century Jamaican pirate haven, reflected in street names like Galleon Drive, Rum Row, and Kingstown Crescent.
What began as roughly two square miles of marshland evolved into a community of around 450–600 custom-built estates. Many feature Island Colonial or British West Indies architectural styles, sprawling lots (often half an acre or more), and direct waterfront access. Today, it blends historic charm with ultra modern luxury rebuilds.
