Gulf-access living

Your boat. Your backyard.

Direct-access canals, private docks, ten minutes to open water. We'll tell you which canals clear the bridges and which docks take a 30-footer — before you fall in love with the house.

Not all canals are created equal

Know the water before you buy the house.

Two homes on the same street can be forty minutes apart by boat. We grade every waterfront home we show you by access tier — here is what the four tiers mean, and what we check before you write an offer.

TIER 01

No bridges

Direct sailboat access

Nothing fixed between your dock and open water. Any mast, any hull, any hour. The premium tier — and priced like it.

Run to open water 10 – 25 min

TIER 02

Fixed bridges

Direct access, bridged

Open water with no locks, but fixed bridges cap your height. We measure clearance at high tide on the actual route — before you pick the boat.

Run to open water 15 – 40 min

TIER 03

Lock · restricted

Indirect access

Gulf access through a lock, or a long ride through the canal system. More seawall for the money — budget the time and the tide.

Run to open water 40 – 70 min

TIER 04

No gulf access

Freshwater

Lakes and freshwater canals: kayaks, jon boats, sunsets off the lanai. Excellent value — just not for the Gulf run.

Run to open water —

What we check before you write an offer.

A listing sheet says "gulf access." It doesn't say how long, how deep, or how much the insurance costs. We do.

  • Seawall age, material, and condition
  • Dock and lift capacity, and whether they're permitted
  • Depth at the dock at low tide
  • Bridge clearance on the route to open water
  • FEMA flood zone and elevation certificate
  • Roof age and what it does to the insurance quote
  • HOA and slip rules, if there's an association
  • Minutes to open water — timed, not guessed

Offices on the Gulf
Franchise & office fees
Independently owned

Independently owned

Built on the Gulf, not on a franchise.

CoastalEdge was founded as the alternative to the corporate model: a Southwest Florida brokerage owned by the people who run it, with offices in Bonita Springs and Cape Coral.

When your agent lives here, "gulf access" isn't a checkbox — it's knowing a direct-access canal from one bridge out. And "golf community" isn't a label — it's knowing which memberships are bundled, which are equity, and which fairway lots hold their value.

Golf country

Follow the ball home.

Southwest Florida has more golf holes per capita than almost anywhere in America — and CoastalEdge sells the homes along them. Ride this drive from the tee to the pin.

The golf brokerage

We know the courses, not just the listings.

Our agents play these courses, know the neighborhoods around every hole, and speak membership fluently — so you buy the right home on the right course the first time.

Courses & locations

From Bonita Bay's five courses to Gulf Harbour's championship waterfront track — which holes flood in summer, which fairway lots face west for sunset, which locations hold value.

Memberships decoded

Bundled vs. equity vs. pay-for-play. Initiation fees, waitlists, transferability at resale — we put the real numbers next to every golf-community listing before you offer.

Golf-community properties

Estate homes on the signature hole, villas by the clubhouse, condos with cart garages — we track every golf-community listing across Royal Palm Coast MLS, on and off the course.

Sellers · How we sell it

Sell with the best people on the coast.

Selling well comes down to who you have around you. CoastalEdge pairs every listing with the top real-estate photographers in Southwest Florida — HDR, twilight, drone, video — and with the lenders, title companies and insurance agents we have trusted for years, so your home looks its best and every buyer who makes an offer can actually close.

Your home goes to the Royal Palm Coast MLS and every major portal the day it is ready. Then an agent who answers the phone handles the showings.
