MARINER BAY CLUBHOUSE WELL UNDERWAY

WILL COMPLIMENT ISLAND LIFESTYLE

With only a few months until completion of the Mariner Bay clubhouse, residents and prospective buyers are eagerly anticipating the addition of this wonderful amenity. The facility, with a multipurpose social room, fitness center, and pool, will overlook magnificent views of the naturally rich environment and reflect the enveloping ambience of tropical living on one of Florida's most serene Island locations.

"We are very excited to be close to the opening of the Mariner Bay clubhouse. The community's site, between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean on tranquil, unspoiled Hutchinson Island, is breathtaking in every direction. With a number of residences already completed it is impressive to see how the Old Florida-Key West architecture integrates into the landscape. The beautifully designed clubhouse building will also complement the aesthetic appeal and tropical resort lifestyle of Mariner Bay," says David Colegrove, Shelby Homes' Sales and Marketing Director. "It is the perfect place to encourage the social lifestyle of this extraordinary community."

The magical transformation of the clubhouse interior will begin shortly as crews are now working on finishing the structure's roof. Inside the gracious 3,000-square-foot pavilion will be a workout center with a collection of state-of-the-art cardiovascular and weight-training equipment to suit any routine with separate men and women's locker rooms. "Today, staying healthy is a part of the social consciousness. We are

all much more aware of the responsibility we have to keep our body as healthy as our mind," says Colegrove, adding, "We want everyone to feel comfortable using this facility and will feature equipment that is appealing to a variety of ages and skill levels."

The clubhouse will also include a tastefully decorated multi-purpose social area with a catering kitchen and large party room that resident's can reserve at no charge for casual gatherings or entertaining guests. "The social room is really a great feature and can be used for many occasions, both simple and grand. The beautiful furnishings and convenient kitchen will be perfect for those who love to socialize but would rather not have to manage guests in their private home," notes Colegrove.

Gracing the outdoors at the spectacular Mariner Bay clubhouse will be a deliciously inviting over-sized tropical pool with extraordinary views of the sun setting on the waterway. In addition, just across the street are professionally maintained tennis courts. "Just imagine playing an afternoon game of tennis and then relaxing in a lounge chair beside the pool and watching the sun pass below the horizon. At Mariner Bay it can feel like you are on vacation, everyday!

"The bonus is a home built with top-quality construction and an unmatched value compared to any other oceanfront location on the Treasure Coast. There is no doubt Mariner Bay is the best choice," he says.

Mariner Bay's extraordinary three- and four-bedroom town homes, range from 1,456 square feet to 2,651 square feet under air and are priced from the $300's.Building facades feature a palette of warm, comforting colors with quaint balconies beckoning to the outdoors and old-fashioned shutters highlighting window frames. Inside, each home is uniquely styled and distinctly different.

The newly opened, decorator furnished models reflect the potential and individual personalities of each model with smartly conceived use of space and exquisite décor in post-modern, contemporary, tropical and nautical themes. "The homes will leave you speechless," admires Colegrove.

As with all Shelby Homes properties there are many interior finishes and floor-plan options including the possibility of modifying the function of spaces as well as adding bonus rooms, balconies with French doors and lofts.

"However, it is important to keep in mind that as we release new buildings, there will be price increases. With that knowledge, it is clear, the best time to secure a piece of paradise is now."

The unsurpassed quality of construction includes filled cell concrete block exterior walls on the first and second floors; poured, reinforced concrete second story floors; and impact resistant glass is also a primary selling feature, especially for a community with close proximity to the ocean.

Colegrove believes that the growth of the Island's infrastructure, with improved access and streetscape improvements, may capture more full-time residents who are attracted to Hutchinson Island making Mariner Bay increasingly more appealing for anyone who wants a secondary address now but may wish to become a full-time resident in the future.

No matter which model buyers select, they will appreciate the gracious living of gourmet style kitchens, sumptuous master baths, and spacious inviting areas. Homes are also pre-wired for the highest efficiency in operating the latest high-speed cable, satellite, computer, and electronic equipment.

Both luxury and convenience are part of the lifestyle at Mariner Bay where residents will enjoy turnkey, carefree maintenance including complete cable services and property management.

Mariner Bay is close to everything a true-Florida lifestyle has to offer including the Intracoastal waterway, magnificent beaches, fabulous community parks, beautiful preserved habitats, vibrant coral reefs and ship wrecks brimming with sea life, plentiful fishing opportunities, golf-courses galore and endless sunshine to enjoy.
