It is the only beachfront single-family enclave in Bay Colony. Most homes sit on double lots, and sizes start near 3,706 square feet and climb toward 16,000. Rentals are not allowed, and some original houses have already been torn down and replaced. For owners keeping the house they have, a kitchen and bathroom remodel brings it in line with the new construction around it. ![The Strand at Bay Colony bathroom remodel after photo](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Pelican-Bay-Bathroom-After-c.webp)After · Bay Colony bathroom remodel ## The Strand Bathroom Remodel Beachfront living is hard on bathrooms. Salt air corrodes fixtures, humidity tests grout and cabinetry, and sand travels in from the beach path. In a Strand home, we specify solid brass or stainless fixtures with durable finishes, porcelain or dense natural stone, epoxy grout and cabinetry built for moisture. Owners usually want a primary bath that opens toward the Gulf, with a large shower, a freestanding tub placed for the view and a private water closet, plus a pool bath for coming in off the sand. Ventilation sized to clear steam quickly is just as important, because a damp bathroom near the beach never fully dries out without it. Homes on the beach face strict rules on the outside. Coastal construction regulations, flood elevation requirements and Collier County permitting govern any addition or exterior change, along with the neighborhood's own requirements. Interior bathroom remodels are simpler, but in a home below current flood elevation they still count toward the floodplain substantial improvement limit, so we review that early. Planning around those rules from the start keeps the project from stalling at the permit counter. Bathroom remodels at The Strand start from $47,000 per bath.

The earliest have the closed layouts and dark wood of the early 1990s. Later ones are more open but may still show granite, tumbled-stone backsplashes and cabinetry worn by salt air. On a double lot facing the Gulf, owners generally want the kitchen, family room and terrace to work as one space, with a large island, a pantry or scullery out of sight and doors that open the house to the beach. A second dishwasher and a beverage drawer near the terrace doors make hosting easier. The materials list follows the climate: sealed natural stone or sintered surfaces that resist staining, cabinet boxes and finishes rated for humidity, stainless hardware, and outdoor appliances suited to salt exposure on the terrace. Because every Strand home is different, we start with a free LiDAR scan of the existing kitchen and build a photo-real 3D render of the new one. You approve the design on screen, select stone in person, and fabrication is templated directly from the scan. Kitchen remodels at The Strand start from $120,000. ![The Strand at Bay Colony kitchen remodel after photo](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Pelican-Bay-Kitchen-Remodel-Before-Cutting-Edge-Kitchen-Remodel-2-c.webp)After · Bay Colony kitchen remodel Price Your The Strand *Kitchen.* Plan a Gulf-facing kitchen for your Strand home in the Bay Colony kitchen builder.
