Miromar Lakes

The sand at Miromar Lakes runs for three miles, and the water it meets is fresh. That water is Lake Como, 700 acres of it, between 26 and 40 feet deep and open all year for swimming, waterskiing, wakeboarding, sailing, kayaking and paddleboarding. Boats keep to marked channels, and the fishing is largemouth bass and bluegill, catch-and-release.

Miromar Lakes Beach & Golf Club wraps around the lake behind gates in the Estero area, on more than 1,200 acres by the developer's count. The Beach Clubhouse looks onto the sand. Along the shore sit an open-air grill with boat docks of its own and a zero-edge pool of 10,000 square feet that runs out toward the lake. There's an 18-hole course too, though golf is its own club, with its own membership and a waitlist, and buying a house doesn't get you in.

Do you need a boat to use Lake Como?

No. Two marinas rent powerboats, sailboats, pontoons, kayaks, paddleboards and paddleboats, and they book fishing guides and sunset cruises. If you keep a boat, they rent slips, sell fuel and keep gated storage, and lakefront homes can tie up at a private or shared dock.

The developer says every resident has access to the lake's beach and the lake. That beach is white sand on Lake Como, inside the gates. It's fresh water. The Gulf, at Bonita Beach Park, is 15 miles off by road.

Where do you eat at Miromar Lakes?

Three restaurants, one of them kept for golf members. The Beach Clubhouse is where dinner gets dressed up: a main dining room seating guests indoors and out, a fireside room for private parties whose French doors open onto the sand, and a bar and lounge, half inside and half out, with a wine room. Billiard, card and theater rooms and a library fill the rest. Thanksgiving, Christmas, wine-pairing evenings and a New Year's Eve gala are held here.

The Blue Water Beach Grill, an open-air pavilion on the lake, keeps it casual, serving breakfast through dinner, with happy hour and live music. Lakefront owners can arrive by boat. More than half the menu changes every season. Next door, food and drinks go out to the loungers by the pool.

What is there to do away from the water?

The Racquet Club covers tennis and pickleball with seven lighted Har-Tru courts and lighted pickleball courts, plus basketball, bocce, a nine-hole putting course added in 2024 and a pro shop. In fall 2024 it ran pickleball open play every morning and a mixed-doubles round robin on Saturdays.

The Wellness Spa does massage indoors or in an outdoor Zen garden, as well as facials, body wraps and a full salon. The gym has Cybex machines, Peloton bikes, Pilates and Power Plate sessions, and personal training. For walking, the Botanical Park circles a lake past more than 3,000 kinds of plants, many labeled, to a lighted observation deck, and nature trails cross preserved land.

The developer counts over 400 club events a year. Its fall 2024 calendar ran Martini Monday, Taco Tuesday, Taps Thursday and Wine Flight Friday, with mah jongg, book clubs, card nights and a Turkey Trot. In September 2026 the developer announced a Social Lounge in the Beach Clubhouse, with room for 48 card players and a golf simulator suite beside it, due in late fall 2026.

How far is it to the airport, the Gulf and Naples?

The airport is closest, at 5.3 miles. Times from the Miromar Lakes Boulevard entrance, roads clear:

• Southwest Florida International Airport, about 9 minutes to the terminal
• Coconut Point in Estero, about 15 minutes
• Bonita Beach Park on the Gulf, about 26 minutes
• Fifth Avenue South in Naples, about 40 minutes

Season traffic adds time to each.

Which homes are new, and which are resale?

The developer was still building in 2026. Three new neighborhoods opened for sale in May 2025. Nerano is 40 coach homes, four to a building, beside a private lake and a preserve. Lucca homes are on the ground floor with three bedrooms; Savona homes are upstairs with a courtyard entry, a study and a private elevator, the only Nerano plan that has one. The developer's square footage is total area, bigger than the living area a listing shows. Nerano's thirteen sales from July 2025 to September 2026 ran from around $1.1 million to around $2 million.

Messina is custom houses of one or two stories by approved builders, lined up along the course's second hole. One sold for about $3 million in June 2025, and on 23 October 2026 the developer's listings were asking around $2.8 million to around $4 million. Positano is eleven custom three-story homes on lakefront lots, starting at about 4,500 square feet, which the developer lists from around $6.9 million.

Everything else is resale, built from 2002 on in dozens of named neighborhoods around Lake Como and the golf holes. There are single-family houses, coach homes, low-rise condominiums and a few mid-rise buildings, from about 1,300 to about 8,350 square feet, with 2 to 5 bedrooms. From January 2025 to October 2026, single-family sales ran from the $710,000s to around $6 million, with one more at about $7.3 million, and attached homes and condominiums from the $460,000s to around $2 million.

There are entrances north and south, the developer describes a gatehouse, and owners clear guests through an online visitor portal. Owners can hire a concierge desk for airport runs, housekeeping, home watch, boat cleaning, packages and letting in contractors.

Does a home at Miromar Lakes include golf?

No. "Golf membership is optional," the developer says, and there is a waitlist to join. The club doesn't publish its fees. Through 2025 and 2026 the developer has told buyers of a newly built home they can join straight away: "Golf club membership is optional. You may skip the waitlist by purchasing a new construction home." That covers its own new homes, and a resale buyer who wants to play should expect to wait.

Arthur Hills designed the par-72 layout, which opened in 2001 as a public course and later went private. Drew Rogers rebuilt every green and tee in 2017, adding classic template holes such as a Redan at the long par-4 2nd and a Biarritz at the 7th. Six tee boxes play from 4,500 to 7,100 yards. The nine-acre range was redone in summer 2025, and a phone app gives the yardage to each flag. Membership also opens the Golf Clubhouse dining room, which looks over a garden, the 18th green and a lake with three fountains.
