The History of Gulf Harbour

The Vision for a Waterfront Country Club Community

Gulf Harbour was developed as a master-planned waterfront community centered around luxury residential living, boating, golf, recreation, and social connection.

The community was thoughtfully planned along the Caloosahatchee River to take advantage of Southwest Florida's natural waterways while providing residents with a private, amenity-rich environment.

Unlike neighborhoods focused on a single lifestyle feature, Gulf Harbour was designed as a complete destination, with residences, a private marina, championship golf, recreational facilities, dining, and gathering spaces located within the gates.

Today, Gulf Harbour continues to attract both full-time residents and seasonal homeowners seeking an active Southwest Florida lifestyle.
