Amenities & Lifestyle
Lakewood National is a gated golf community in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, centered around a full club lifestyle and strong seasonal demand. The community is known for its championship golf environment and amenity-rich setting that supports both full-time residents and furnished short-term rentals.
Residents have access to golf, tennis courts, a resort-style pool and spa, fitness center, and multiple dining options including semi-formal dining, a grille room, and a tiki bar. Sidewalks and bike-friendly streets create a walkable layout consistent with the broader Lakewood Ranch master-planned environment.
The amenity structure and golf membership model make Lakewood National particularly attractive for snowbirds, executive relocations, and seasonal tenants seeking a bundled club experience.
HOA Rental Guidelines
Calusa Country Club requires a 30-day minimum lease term for all properties. A membership transfer application and transfer fee must be submitted prior to the start of a lease or reservation. The association has historically been accommodating in time-sensitive situations, but advance coordination is strongly recommended.
The community is gated, and the HOA office issues vehicle transponders for access. One transponder is included in the membership transfer fee, and additional transponders may be purchased. Pets are permitted for renters.
Membership Types
Membership transfers are available and are an important component of rental performance within the community. Tenants may transfer full golf membership privileges for the duration of their lease by paying a one-time transfer fee. This provides access to the golf course as well as the broader amenity package, including the fitness center, pool, tennis courts, and dining venues.
Because every residence carries golf membership, this structure simplifies seasonal pricing strategy and strengthens rental positioning compared to communities with mixed membership designations.
