Ruby at Sunstone is the earlier condominium phase of Sunstone on the Fairways at Lely Resort. The community contains approximately 36 residences in three low-rise 12-home buildings along Michael Circle.
Developed primarily in 1995 and 1996, Ruby includes compact two-bedroom residences and larger two-bedroom-plus-den or flexible three-bedroom configurations with screened lanais, private garage parking and lake, Mustang golf or landscaped settings.
Ruby Within Sunstone on the Fairways
Ruby should be compared first with other Ruby residences before expanding the valuation search to Peridot or Aquamarine.
The three Sunstone phases differ in construction generation, building format and typical residence size. Treating all Sunstone sales as interchangeable can distort the value of a smaller Ruby condominium.
Two-Bedroom & Den Floor Plans
Ruby includes more compact two-bedroom residences around the mid-1,200-square-foot range as well as larger layouts around the mid-1,400s with den, office or flexible third-bedroom use.
Buyers should verify recorded living area and legal bedroom configuration for the exact condominium. A room used or staged as a bedroom does not necessarily have the same legal classification.
First-Floor vs. Second-Floor Ruby Condos
First Floor
Provides ground-level access and a closer relationship with lakes, landscaping and common areas. Compare privacy and lanai sightlines carefully.
Second Floor
Can provide greater privacy, higher ceiling characteristics in selected residences and more elevated golf or lake views.
Floor level should be established before comparing interior finishes because access, ceiling volume and view elevation are permanent characteristics.
Lake, Mustang Golf & Landscape Views
Ruby building positions can provide lake, golf or mature-landscape outlooks. The quality of the view can differ significantly between residences using otherwise similar floor plans.
Compare lake width, fairway relationship, cart paths, mature vegetation, neighboring-building sightlines, rear exposure and what is visible from both the principal living area and screened lanai.
Private Garage Parking
Private garage parking adds protected vehicle storage and lock-and-leave convenience. Buyers should verify the garage associated with the exact residence rather than assuming every garage has identical ownership, location or maintenance responsibility.
Also compare door condition, electrical service, cabinetry, storage improvements and association responsibility for exterior garage components.
Screened Lanais & Outdoor Living
Screened lanais extend Ruby's relatively compact interiors toward the surrounding lake, golf and landscaped environment.
Compare usable depth, rear exposure, privacy, screening, flooring and storm protection. Permanent orientation and view should generally receive more valuation weight than cosmetic improvements that can be changed later.
Ruby Association & Insurance Due Diligence
Ruby buyers should review the current condominium and Sunstone documents rather than relying on another phase's association structure.
Budget & Reserves
Review current operating expenses, reserve funding, recent capital work and any pending or contemplated assessments.
Master Insurance
Understand association coverage, deductibles and how the master policy coordinates with the owner's condominium policy.
Roof & Exterior
Confirm responsibility for roofing, exterior painting, common structures, landscaping and other building components.
Rental & Pet Rules
Verify current minimum lease terms, annual rental frequency, approvals and pet limitations before purchase.
Players Club Membership Is Property-Specific
Sunstone currently appears in both the Amenities Covenant and Non-Amenities Covenant classifications used by The Players Club & Spa, with the Club identifying Sunstone as one of the neighborhoods containing both required and non-required covenant agreements.
Ruby buyers should therefore verify the exact residence's recorded amenities covenant rather than assuming Players Club membership is always required or always optional throughout the phase.
Confirm current deposits or initiation requirements, annual dues, transfer procedures and privileges through current Club and title documentation.
Renovation & Major Systems
Because Ruby dates primarily from the mid-1990s, effective property age can vary considerably. Kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and lighting may have been renovated at very different times.
Cosmetic renovation should be evaluated separately from HVAC, water heater, windows, sliding doors, storm shutters or impact protection and other capital components.
How to Compare Ruby Values
Begin with recent Ruby sales from a similar floor level and living-area category. Next compare lake or Mustang golf setting, rear exposure, garage, screened lanai and privacy.
After those permanent features are established, evaluate renovation, storm protection, HVAC, water heater and association financial condition.
Peridot and Aquamarine can provide useful secondary Sunstone context, but structural and size differences should be recognized before using those phases as direct comparable sales.
Current Ruby Market Activity
Ruby is a small 36-residence phase, so periods with little or no active inventory are entirely plausible. The native RealGeeks IDX below should remain Ruby-specific even when no property is currently offered for sale.

Buying a Ruby at Sunstone Condo
Begin with recorded living area and floor level. Then compare permanent lake, golf or landscape position, rear exposure, garage and screened lanai.
After those characteristics are established, evaluate renovation, storm protection, HVAC, water heater, association reserves, master insurance, assessments and the exact Players Club covenant applying to the residence.
Selling a Ruby at Sunstone Condo
Ruby sellers should position the residence primarily against direct Ruby transactions rather than a broad Sunstone or Lely Resort condominium average.
Document floor level, legal living area, lake or golf view, rear exposure, garage, lanai, storm protection, HVAC, water heater and meaningful interior renovation so buyers can compare the residence accurately.
