The Moorings is one of the original neighborhoods of modern Naples, and much of its appeal is its setting: mature trees, quiet streets, and the Gulf, the bay, and a private golf club all within the neighborhood. Condominiums line Gulf Shore Boulevard North, waterfront homes sit on Moorings Bay and its canals, and single-family streets fill the interior.
Jeremy O’Guinn, Broker Associate and Certified Negotiation Expert with Downing-Frye Realty, helps buyers compare Moorings properties by water frontage, boating route, flood zone, and association structure, and helps owners price against the right comparable sales.

A Note From Jeremy
Broker Associate · Certified Negotiation Expert · Downing-Frye Realty
“The Moorings has a feel you cannot build new: big trees, quiet streets, and the Gulf, the bay, and a golf club all within the neighborhood. The details are what separate one property from the next, from the boating route to Doctors Pass to the condominium’s reserves. And the beach park and the golf club are memberships, not features of the deed. I confirm exactly what comes with the property before you make an offer.”
