Barbados is a 12-story luxury condominium tower at 315 Dunes Boulevard in the Island Cove section of The Dunes of Naples. Completed in 2001, Barbados contains 84 residences and is known for spacious three-bedroom floor plans, oversized screened lanais, under-building parking and attractive Gulf, Turkey Bay, mangrove and preserve views.
Barbados should be analyzed as its own building rather than from a broad Dunes average. Floor-plan family, floor, end or interior position, western and southern exposure, permanent view, lanai configuration, parking, storage, renovation, storm protection and association condition can create meaningful differences between otherwise similar residences.

Barbados in Island Cove
Barbados forms the Island Cove high-rise group with Antigua and Cayman .
These established towers occupy a different resale segment from the generally larger Grande Preserve residences. For valuation, begin with Barbados transactions and use Antigua or Cayman as secondary evidence when residence size, floor, position and permanent view are reasonably comparable.
Spacious Three-Bedroom Condos
Barbados was designed primarily around three-bedroom residences rather than small vacation-style floor plans. Recurring interior living areas are approximately 1,893 square feet for more compact layouts and approximately 2,187–2,194 square feet for larger configurations.
Larger end-unit layouts may provide three full bathrooms, split-bedroom design, additional windows, generous primary suites, breakfast areas and substantially wider screened lanais.
Floor-plan rule: a larger Barbados end residence should not be compared mechanically with a smaller interior plan solely by price per square foot. Windows, exposure, view width, lanai configuration and privacy can materially affect value.
Floor Level & Residence Position
Floor elevation affects horizon width, privacy and the relationship with the surrounding mangroves, landscaping and water.
Higher floors can provide broader Gulf and bay horizons, while lower floors can offer a closer visual relationship with palms, preserve areas and tropical landscaping.
Residence position can be equally important. End units may provide additional windows, more natural light, multiple exposures and larger wraparound lanais.
Gulf, Turkey Bay & Mangrove Views
Gulf Horizon Favorably oriented residences can capture distant Gulf views and Southwest Florida sunsets.
Turkey Bay Protected water provides an important coastal foreground below many elevated views.
Mangroves & Preserve Natural vegetation can provide wildlife, privacy and visual depth.
Multiple Exposures End residences may combine western, southern or other view directions.
Large Screened & Wraparound Lanais
Screened lanais are one of Barbados' defining architectural features. Compare usable depth, width, furniture placement, direction, privacy, wind exposure, sunset orientation, screening and storm protection.
Selected end-unit plans include especially generous wraparound outdoor areas. Buyers should also identify which rooms open directly onto the lanai because access from the living room, breakfast area or primary suite can materially change how the space functions.
Private Barbados Pool & Spa
Barbados maintains a private heated swimming pool and spa for building residents and guests, separate from the broader resort amenities at The Club at The Dunes.
Covered or landscaped gathering areas and outdoor grilling facilities provide additional building-level recreation.
Renovated Lobby, Garage Parking & Storage
Barbados provides under-building garage parking together with additional guest parking and bicycle-storage facilities. Individual residences may also have separate storage rights.
Parking Confirm the exact assigned, deeded or limited-common-element space.
Storage Verify the location, dimensions and legal status of the storage area.
Bike Storage Confirm current building procedures and available storage facilities.
Guest Parking Review guest access and current seasonal or overnight restrictions.
Renovated vs. More Original Barbados Condos
Because Barbados was completed in 2001, resale inventory can range from relatively original interiors to extensively remodeled luxury residences.
Updated kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, cabinetry, lighting and built-ins affect immediate buyer appeal, but those decorative improvements should be separated from major mechanical and building-envelope upgrades.
HVAC equipment and installation date
Water heater
Electrical improvements
Plumbing improvements
Windows and sliding doors
Impact-resistant glazing
Electric or manual hurricane shutters
Permitted floor-plan alterations
Impact Glass & Storm Protection
Current and recent Barbados listings demonstrate that storm-protection systems can differ substantially between residences. Some properties have impact-rated windows and sliders, some use electric shutters, and some combine multiple protection methods.
Verify every exterior opening and determine whether future maintenance or replacement is a unit-owner or association responsibility.
The Club at The Dunes
Barbados ownership also participates in the broader Dunes lifestyle centered around The Club at The Dunes.
Resort Pool & Spa Community-scale pool and outdoor gathering environment.
Dining Indoor, outdoor and pool-oriented food and beverage options.
Fitness & Wellness Fitness facilities, classes and wellness programming.
Tennis & Pickleball Staffed racquet facilities and organized play.
Near Vanderbilt Beach & Delnor-Wiggins Pass
Barbados is close to Vanderbilt Beach and Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park, making beach access and coastal recreation important parts of the Dunes lifestyle.
The building is also convenient to Mercato, Waterside Shops, Artis—Naples, restaurants, healthcare and other North Naples destinations.
Private Beach-Club Opportunities
Individual Dunes listings may reference private beach-club or beach-related membership opportunities. Those arrangements are not a substitute for verifying the rights attached to the specific Barbados residence.
Confirm current eligibility, transferability, dues, transfer charges, transportation arrangements and beach services before relying on a membership as part of the purchase decision.
Association, Reserves & Insurance
Barbados buyers should review both the building-specific condominium association and applicable community-level obligations at The Dunes.
Operating Budget Review current building services and recurring operating expenses.
Reserve Funding Compare current reserves and scheduled funding with expected capital projects.
Master Insurance Review coverage, deductibles and remaining unit-owner obligations.
Assessments Identify current, approved and reasonably known proposed assessments.
Engineering Review applicable structural and reserve documentation.
Capital Projects Examine elevators, roof, exterior systems, balconies, pool and garage.
Rental, Pet & Guest Rules
Current rental, pet, guest and renovation provisions should be confirmed from the governing documents for Barbados and The Dunes.
Verify minimum lease periods, permitted annual leasing frequency, tenant approval, pet limitations, guest procedures, move requirements and contractor rules rather than relying on older MLS marketing language.
The Dunes report combines Island Cove with substantially larger Grande Preserve residences and Sea Grove coach homes. Identify the Barbados transactions within that report before applying development-wide averages to an individual property.
Compare Similar Dunes Condominium Communities
Barbados buyers most naturally compare Antigua and Cayman within Island Cove. Grande Preserve towers provide secondary context for buyers considering larger luxury residences within the same Dunes community.
Antigua is one of the strongest first-step alternatives because both are established Island Cove towers. Compare floor-plan family, floor, residence position, permanent view, lanai, parking, renovation and association condition rather than relying only on tower name.
Barbados vs. Cayman
Cayman provides another Island Cove high-rise alternative within the same broader Dunes lifestyle. Building-specific transactions remain more useful than a simple Dunes-wide average.
Barbados vs. Grande Preserve
Grande Preserve residences generally serve a larger luxury high-rise segment and can differ in floor-plan scale, elevator configuration, parking, services and association structure.
Grande Dominica and Grande Excelsior are therefore useful buyer alternatives but should not automatically establish Barbados value.
Schulz Realty can help buyers and sellers compare Barbados residences by floor-plan family, living area, floor, end or interior position, Gulf and Turkey Bay exposure, lanai, parking, storage, renovation, storm protection, association condition and the strongest relevant comparable sales.
For current Barbados listings, comparable sales and private property tours:
Barbados residence counts, floor plans, recorded living areas, views, balconies and lanais, parking, storage, pool and spa operations, association fees, Club obligations, beach-related privileges, insurance, reserves, assessments, engineering reports, capital projects, rental provisions, pet policies, guest rules, storm protection and individual residence characteristics can vary or change. Buyers and sellers should verify material information through current condominium and community documents, association records, MLS information, inspections, insurance documentation, title work and appropriate qualified professionals.
