Preferred On-Site Realty Team for Hideaway Beach Club

There are places that simply feel different the moment you arrive, and Hideaway Beach Club is one of them. Situated along more than two miles of private Gulf shoreline, this Marco Island private community unfolds across more than 300 acres of preserved coastal landscape. Mangroves, lagoons, native wildlife, and softly winding paths shape a natural setting that feels peaceful, protected, and deeply connected to island life.

As the newly appointed Preferred On-Site Real Estate Team, my team and I are honored to provide a level of service, insight, and care that matches the exceptional lifestyle found behind these gates. What I love most about Hideaway is the balance it offers. It’s quiet without feeling isolated, welcoming without being busy. Neighbors greet one another on morning beach walks, families gather for sunset dinners, and afternoons drift by on the golf course, the beach, or the water. It’s a community where people truly enjoy being together—and being immersed in nature.

A New Era of Wellness, Connection, and Everyday Living

There’s a renewed sense of excitement at Hideaway thanks to the opening of the new 34,000-square-foot Sports & Wellness Center. Thoughtfully designed as a space for Members to gather, move, and unwind, it offers state-of-the-art fitness rooms, courts for pickleball and tennis, bocce areas, golf simulator bays, a Pour-My-Beverage station, and inviting spaces for casual socializing.

To me, it feels like the perfect complement to Hideaway’s private beach, kayak launch, dining venues, and year-round calendar of events. Whether Members are starting their day with a workout or ending it with a friendly match, the center brings a lively, modern energy to the community—while still honoring its peaceful coastal roots.

Understanding the Homes of Hideaway Beach Club

The real estate within Hideaway is as varied as the landscape itself. Homes here tell the story of the land: condos overlooking the mangroves, villas facing quiet lakes, single-family homes along the golf course, and residences with wide views of the Gulf or marshland. There are also opportunities to build, with homesites starting around $500,000 and premier residences reaching over $5 million.

What remains consistent throughout is the sense of privacy. With only 375 Members, Hideaway has a thoughtful, steady rhythm of real estate—one shaped by limited inventory, long-term ownership, and the desire to protect the quiet character of the community. It’s why understanding these nuances, and having genuine relationships within the Club, is essential when guiding anyone through a purchase or sale here.
