From the road you'll likely drive right past this home located immediately to the south of "White Sands" at 2440 Gordon Drive
( goo.gl/maps/XqLXe ), but from the public beach this house is a favorite. The property used to be part of the adjacent "White Sands" estate until it was sold to the current owners in 1983 for $850,000.

Completed in 1986 this white mansion with its wrap around porches captures the Florida vernacular architectural aesthetic. This is a quiet part of the beach between the lightly used public access at 21st Ave S and the 32nd Ave S beach access. The property is owned by Lee and Roberta Gentil. The Gentil family is involved in the aviation business ( www.naples-air-center.com/index.php ) and Lee Gentil, an avid sailor, was a competitor in three Olympic games.
