The house was great for our needs. Fully equipped kitchen and great lounging areas. Loved the big deck overlooking the waterway. Grill was a great addition.
Quiet neighborhood with easy access to Hwy 41. House was very well equipped and owners were very responsive.If you have a small boat docking is tight, but doable. Fishing was pretty good for November/December.
Such a wonderful home! Had everything we needed! Very spacious and the neighborhood was beautiful! The Location was perfect and in early October was not crowded at all! Will definitely be returning.

Thanks for the awesome review, glad you enjoyed the property
We had a great stay at this VRBO property! The house was very clean — which is always a top priority for us — and came with all the amenities we needed. The owners were responsive and easy to work with, making sure everything went smoothly. The location was perfect: close to the beach and lots of great dining options. Highly recommend!
We had an amazing time at this charming bungalow in Gulf Harbor! The outdoor space and deck were fantastic, offering peaceful water and preserve views perfect for bird watching. Inside, the home was cozy and well-appointed, providing everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location couldn't be better—close to beautiful beaches, shopping, and a variety of restaurants. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway
This home was beautiful from the moment we walked in. The ambiance was amazing with beach feel in every room. The boys loved being on the canal and fishing every moment they got. The kitchen had everything you will need. Some places we have stayed in the past, made it hard to cook since some things are not provided, but not here. Loved every bit of our stay here.
Amazing house super clean and organized, have everything you need to go to the beach, for cooking and relaxing!! The owners are very nice and easy to communicate. Location is amazing very nice neighborhood you can see people walking all the time with dogs, exercising and biking. We used the bikes that they have for guests to use and also the kayaks. I can’t wait to come back for a longer stay.
The hosts were great communicators. The place was super clean. Property was close to beaches. Great neighborhood. Kayaks & bikes are available for use. Close to tons of things to do in the area. We would definitely vacation here again!!
My stay at the Grand Canal location in Naples Florida was beyond fantastic. The house is well decorated. It’s charming. It has gulf access. The nature and birds added to the serenity. The owners were very receptive and helpful with any of my questions. It is equipped fully with anything you would need on a vacation. There are kayaks for you and bicycles too!! I can’t wait to return.
We had a very pleasant visit to this home paradise away from home. The house is conveniently located from all attractions — beach, shops, and restaurants. The owners were friendly and made the stay check-in and checkout process easy. House was fully stocked with all things to make it feel like home, yet still have that vacation vibe with the beach decor and location. Kitchen was stocked and made it easy to eat meals at the house. The dock and outdoor patio is wonderful. We loved the open floor plan. The master suite has a free standing tub which is a perk for a little relaxation. The neighborhood is quiet and comfortable. We definitely look forward to staying again next summer.
We had a great time at this vacation property. The hosts did a great job communicating with us. The location of the home was ideal, 5 minutes to the beach and tons of restaurants close by. We grilled out one time on the back deck overlooking the canal and mangroves and enjoyed the outdoor fire pit. We were lucky enough to see dolphins playing in the canal and even saw a manatee. The hosts had kayaks and bikes to use free of charge. Great little neighborhood with a relaxed vacation vibe. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking to enjoy the Naples area.
Wow what an amazing vacation!! The host did a great job of communicating with us and the check in & out was simple. The home, layout, new furniture, new appliances, outdoor patio w/ fireplace & grill were awesome. The property is just minutes to the beach, tons of dining options and grocery stores. We even saw dolphins playing in the canal right behind the home. There's also an Osprey nest right behind the home and we enjoyed watching him catch fish out of the canal. We took out the two kayaks that were available at no extra charge and explored hours of beautiful waterways nestled away in the mangroves just off the Gulf of Mexico. The host provided chairs and coolers for the beach and plenty of kitchenware, bedding, towels etc for our stay. What an amazing property, we can't wait to go back again.
