Where Waterfront Living Meets Downtown Naples
In Aqualane Shores, life has a natural connection to the water. Palm-lined streets, canal-front homes, and a setting between Olde Naples and Port Royal create a neighborhood where a day on the boat can lead into an evening downtown. Homes range from classic Florida residences to newer waterfront estates, with many properties offering direct canal access toward the Gulf.
The details make the difference here: the water view, the boating route, and how close you want to be to the beach or Third Street South. Jo Ellen Nash helps you look beyond the address to the life you want to build, bringing a personal approach to finding your waterfront home or telling its story when it is time to sell.
“Anyone can sell a Naples home. Jo Ellen sells the life that comes with it.”

Welcome to Aqualane Shores
The Naples, Florida community of Aqualane Shores is a boater’s paradise, with some of the most spectacular waterfront homes in Naples, many with direct canal access to the Gulf. Encompassing about 300 acres, the palm-lined avenues, bridgeless waterways and eclectic mix of traditional and modern architecture make Aqualane Shores a standout.
Centrally located near the prime tourist areas such as Tin City, Bayfront, 5th Avenue South and Third Street South, Aqualane Shores is one of Naples, Florida's original developments. With approximately 400 homes, you will see an eclectic blend of architectural styles…from Mediterranean mansions to quaint Florida cottages. The first homes in this community were built during the 1960's and 1970's. During the 1990's a large number of these original dwellings began to be redeveloped Many underwent large expansions or renovations. In some cases, the oldest homes were completed razed to make way for newer, larger estates.
Homes in Aqualane Shores are among the most expensive in Naples, ranked just behind Port Royal, due to their prime location in one of our most preferred waterfront communities and proximity to downtown. The more expansive the water view, and the more direct the boating access is to the Gulf of Mexico, the more the cost of the home increases. There are still some opportunities to purchase re-sale residences or to acquire a prime lot with a "tear down home" to build a new dream home. Although some homes could be upgraded by working within the original structure and renovating, these situations are becoming more and more obsolete, as land prices now outvalue the improvements by such a huge margin.
Ideally situated inside the Naples city limits, between historic Olde Naples and the grandeur of Port Royal, Aqualane Shores provides a haven for long-time residents and “tried and true” Neapolitans as well as “snowbird” beachcombers. The short distance to the Naples pier and beautiful beaches, the chic shopping, Farmer’s markets, art and car shows, music at Cambier park, restaurants and art galleries and the ability to ride a bike downtown are just a few reasons we love this neighborhood!
