Lely Resort is a 2,900–4,000 acre master-planned golf and resort community in East Naples, bordered to the east by SR 951, west by St. Andrews Blvd, southwest by US 41. Named after Cornelius van der Lely, the Dutch inventor who purchased 25,000 acres in 1972 with a vision to develop 10,500 homes. The three planned championship golf courses opened 1989–1997 but residential development stalled until Stock Development acquired 340 acres in 2001, revitalizing the community into one of Naples’ best-selling resort communities.

The community features 3 championship par-72 golf courses designed by world-renowned architects: The Classics (Gary Player, 1990, private, 6,805 yds) requires membership; Flamingo Island (Robert Trent Jones Sr., 1989, semi-private, 7,171 yds) with the famous par-3 Flamingo Island hole completely surrounded by water; The Mustang (Lee Trevino, 1997, public, 7,200 yds). Amenities center on the award-winning Players Club & Spa (20,000 sqft with fitness, movie theater, arts room, media room, pool, tiki bar), 7 tennis courts + 4 pickleball courts, and two Mediterranean-designed clubhouses.

For kitchen remodels, Lely Resort splits across three clear tiers. Classics Plantation Estates (private, guard-gated luxury with Avonlea, Covington Place, Martinique sub-neighborhoods) operates at Best-tier commissioned cabinetry with book-matched natural stone. Mid-tier single-family (Majors, Lakoya, Masters Reserve, Moorgate Point, Tiger Island Estates, Lely Island Estates) centers on Better-tier transformations with Sub-Zero + Wolf + Miele standard. Coach homes and condos (Ole, Mystic Greens, Alden Woods, Hawthorne, Sunstone, Legacy, Signature Club, Tasori, Player’s Cove) focus on Good-tier refreshes. The community’s broad price spectrum ($200K entry to $3M+ luxury) creates a kitchen ROI opportunity at every neighborhood tier.
