For them, the Caribbean nation comprised of nearly 700&nbsp;islands and more than 2,400 cays and islets (most of which remain uninhabited) was a place for discovery, where together, they would zip along crystalline waters on their 90-foot yacht, scuba diving, snorkeling, and exploring untouched reefs.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ee154e9e wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0\" data-block-type=\"core\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-19fc183\" data-block-id=\"19fc183\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">So when they learned last year that they could enjoy those activities steps from their front door, they jumped at the opportunity. \u201cWe wanted a turnkey experience right in the middle of all the action for boating,\u201d Shannon says. Montage Cay\u2019s 51 fully furnished homes presented just that: All residences are nestled into their own enclaves with private pools, gardens, and terraces. Many even have their own private beachfront, connecting owners directly to the water. The resort also offers homeowners access to a Spa Montage, guided nautical excursions, signature dining options, and other opportunities for outdoor recreation\u2014all of which were attractive to the Werners. But it was the island\u2019s 46-slip, deep-water luxury marina, which can accommodate vessels up to 100 feet, that sealed the deal. \u201cIt\u2019s probably the most protected marina in the Bahamas so it really protects your assets,\u201d Shannon says, adding that the couple plan to moor a new 35-foot powerboat there.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ee154e9e wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0\" data-block-type=\"core\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-f00c00b\" data-block-id=\"f00c00b\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">For Bob, the decision ultimately came down not to finances or investment, but to lifestyle: \u201cHaving these amenities for boating on Montage Cay ensures that we\u2019ll be surrounded by like-minded people\u201d\u2014something, he adds, previous generations didn\u2019t necessarily factor into their second-home purchases. \u201cOur grandparents weren\u2019t buying a lake house because they were into water skiing. It was just a lake house,\u201d he says. \u201cOur generation has grown up with hobbies, and you don\u2019t give that up when you retire; you work toward that time when you can do even more of it. And that\u2019s what we\u2019re doing at Montage Cay.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-47cd05e\"

wave in Mexico nearly two decades ago. It was a pivotal moment\u2014enough to bring the Orange County\u2013based entrepreneur back to Riviera Nayarit year after year\u2014and during those ensuing trips, he and his wife, Karen, discovered more outdoor pursuits. \u201cWe absolutely love surfing, but there\u2019s also horseback riding, fishing, cycling, and golfing. We\u2019re golf fanatics,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd the margaritas aren\u2019t bad either.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ee154e9e wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0\" data-block-type=\"core\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-f88c11d\" data-block-id=\"f88c11d\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">That combined appreciation for the great outdoors and good living ultimately led Burke to Punta Mita, a 1,500-acre private community where the water is warm, the waves are good, and the golf is world-class (both courses there are Jack Nicklaus Signature designs). Since its opening in 1999, Punta Mita has set the standard for luxury vacation-home communities, and soon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.montageresidences.com\/punta-mita\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Montage Punta Mita<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pendry.com\/punta-mita\/residences\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pendry Punta Mita<\/a> will offer new residential opportunities that raise the bar even further. Montage\u2019s 62 three- and four-bedroom private homes will embrace their surroundings with expansive terraces that look out over the Pacific Ocean and Litibu Bay; 32 Pendry Residences will feature turnkey contemporary design and sit on a lush, 30-acre stretch near La Lancha, one of the best surf breaks in Riviera Nayarit.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ee154e9e wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0\" data-block-type=\"core\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-91bce4c\" data-block-id=\"91bce4c\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">For Burke, who has owned a vacation home in the broader Punta Mita community for more than a decade, the new arrivals promise an easy convergence of all the things he loves most about the area. \u201cMontage offers that perfect blend: lifestyle, hospitality, friendship. Everyone here loves their sports and their hobbies,\u201d he says, adding that resort amenities like tennis and pickleball courts, beach clubs, and wellness facilities\u2014like the forthcoming Spa Montage\u2014have expanded the couple\u2019s ever-growing list of hobbies, as well as their social circle. \u201cCommunity is really important to us. We\u2019ve made some great friends in Punta Mita over the years.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block
