Coquina Sands is one of Naples' most cherished beachside neighborhoods, offering the rare combination of a quiet residential setting just steps from the Gulf of Mexico. Located between the Moorings and Old Naples, this intimate neighborhood provides walkable access to Lowdermilk Park beach, the shops and restaurants of Venetian Village, and the cultural offerings of downtown Naples. XL Homes of SWFL designs and builds custom homes in Coquina Sands that embrace the beachside lifestyle, creating residences that capture Gulf breezes and natural light while providing the hurricane resistance and structural integrity demanded by this coastal environment.
Coquina Sands is a compact, residential neighborhood of approximately 700 homes situated between Gulf Shore Boulevard and US-41 (Tamiami Trail). The neighborhood is named for the coquina shell deposits found in the area's soil, a nod to its coastal geography. Homes in Coquina Sands range from original mid-century ranch houses to newly constructed luxury residences, reflecting the ongoing investment that homeowners are making in this irreplaceable beachside location. The neighborhood's most distinctive feature is its proximity to Lowdermilk Park, one of Naples' most popular public beaches, which provides residents with a walkable beach experience. Venetian Village shopping and dining is at the neighborhood's northern edge, while downtown Naples' Fifth Avenue is accessible via a pleasant walk or bike ride along Gulf Shore Boulevard. The combination of beach proximity, walkability, and a quieter residential feel compared to Old Naples has made Coquina Sands increasingly popular with buyers seeking authentic coastal living.
Coquina Sands construction requires careful attention to flood zone regulations, as much of the neighborhood falls within coastal flood zones. Homes must be constructed above base flood elevations, and properties closer to the Gulf may be subject to velocity zone (VE zone) requirements that demand even more robust structural engineering. The neighborhood's coquina shell soil composition presents specific foundation engineering considerations that experienced local builders understand. Lot sizes in Coquina Sands tend to be moderate compared to estate neighborhoods, making efficient design essential to maximize living space and outdoor areas. Many projects involve replacing older homes with modern construction that incorporates impact windows, reinforced concrete block walls, and elevated foundations while maintaining an attractive street presence.
XL Homes serves Coquina Sands with custom home construction, tear-down and rebuild projects, and comprehensive renovations. We design beachside homes that capture the coastal atmosphere through generous window placement, covered outdoor living spaces, and materials that withstand the salt-air environment. Our Coquina Sands projects feature impact-rated windows and doors, elevated construction where required, saltwater-resistant finishes, and outdoor showers and beach access amenities that enhance the beachside lifestyle.
