San Rafael is one of roughly three dozen gated enclaves inside The Vineyards — a 1,400-acre, family-owned golf community in North Naples founded in 1988. Like every neighborhood here, it sits behind the community gates with access to The Vineyards' parks and lakes, and membership in Vineyards Country Club is entirely optional — you buy the home, and decide on the club separately.
Vineyards Country Club offers two championship 18-hole courses, a 70,000 sq ft clubhouse, a wellness spa, and a racquet center — on a non-equity, optional basis. Because the club is family-owned and debt-free, members face no capital assessments. Owners in San Rafael can join, or skip it entirely.
See club & membership options →San Rafael has approximately 24 residences — mediterranean single-family pool homes · 3–4 br, built 2001–2004.
No. Membership at Vineyards Country Club is entirely optional — the club is privately, family-owned and operates separately from the HOAs. About 75% of Vineyards residents choose to join, but you never have to buy a membership to own a home here.
HOA dues run approximately $300–$400/mo (approximate — verify the current figure). Leasing is typically 6-month minimum lease; the master association also bills annual dues for the gates, security, and community lakes. Confirm exact figures and any rental registration with the San Rafael association before you offer.
No. There is no Community Development District (CDD) at The Vineyards — roads and common amenities are privately maintained through HOA fees, so there's no separate CDD bond on your tax bill.
Most of The Vineyards sits in Flood Zone X (minimal risk), so flood insurance is generally not required — but always verify the specific home's flood zone and elevation, since it can vary parcel to parcel.
