Thanks so much for a wonderful stay at your home. It’s situated in a lovely neighborhood, with very close proximity to Vanderbilt Beach. We loved our daily walks around this beautiful area, with gorgeous beaches and parks, central to many great shopping options, and top tier restaurants. Immense thanks to our hosts, who checked on us to ensure that all was well, were responsive to any questions or requests, and provided countless recommendations for things to do and places to go. Looking forward to our next visit.

We loved our stay. The pool area is great for cooling off after a day at the beach. Speaking of beach a nice walk over to Vanderbilt beach which has white sand and turquoise water. The house had everything a family needs to have that home comfort feeling. Great beds and a well equipped kitchen. Communication with our host was great and they gave us a ton of fantastic recommendations for dining as well as adventures. Highly recommend doing an evening pole boat tour of the Everglades through Everglades Adventure Tours and ask for Bonsey! Would definitely stay here again as great location close to all.

True paradise house with everything you could imagine

We had a fantastic stay; the house is a true paradise with everything you could ever need, and it is conveniently placed just a short walk from the Vanderbilt Beach. The house with a private pool, lanai, and covered patio - is simply lovely. Debbie and Gregory, the owners, were always responsive and helpful, they gave us a lot of good suggestions. We had a warm welcome and a smooth checkout. Definitely a place we recommend!

Just perfect!

The house was perfect. The location was perfect. The pool was perfect. The linens were all fantastic and believe me we are snobs. I would stay here again and again and again. We travel to Naples very frequently to visit family and I would arrange my dates so they coincide with this houses availability. The hosts were extremely responsive (we didn’t experience any issues, we just had a question or 2). Thank you to our hosts for a wonderful experience.

Great location and home

Everything about the house was fantastic. We stay in Naples Park every year when we visit. We loved the location. The house was clean and there was great communication with the owners. The one item we would suggest is updating pictures, a cage has been added which is great for bugs, etc. but it does cut into the sun you get. We were slightly disappointed (primarily because we weren't expecting it) but still give the house 5 stars. It was really nice to have kids toys, pack n play, etc. for our two year. There were also ample pool toys for him to enjoy. Beds were comfortable as well. We would stay here again if available.

Quick getaway to the beach

I had been to Naples before, but my husband had never been. This is mainly a trip to help out our daughter who has three children and we decided to take the two youngest for a week of their Christmas break. We knew they love the water and they love pools, so that was a big hit overall The home was well appointed, including many toys and puzzles chairs for the beach. We made use of the washer and dryer, which really came in handy. The home was a short walk away to the beach, but because the kids were so young we often drove, which was only $10 for parking , there were many close activities close by and we highly recommend going on a boat to see the manatees as well as the dolphins which you can do from Marco Island On the beach we really enjoyed picking up many shells, and on my early morning walks I often saw dolphins swimming by. There was also beach yoga which I participated in twice. Anytime I reached out to the hosts of this beautiful home they got back to me immediately I can’t recommend this place enough and the people who own it *****

Quick Trip

House was clean and had a nice pool. Close to beach but not quite walking distance especially with a family. It’s a good thing there’s a public garage about one block from the beach entrance. The area was beautiful but a bit pricey. Went out for Cuban food which is normally inexpensive and spent over $200.

A great place to stay! Perfect house and location.

The house was fantastic and we loved the location. Close enough to walk to the beach, ride bikes around the quiet neighborhood and a short drive to great restaurants and the grocery. The house was extremely clean, provided everything we needed from a supplies perspective and more. From bikes to extra beach towels and all of the kitchen amenities. We loved having a pool to cool off in and really enjoyed the surrounding tropical vibe of the back yard. Check in was a breeze and communication with the property owners was spot on. 5 stars all around!

We are dog lovers and own two small dogs and welcome small dogs to the property. The yard is fenced and the neighborhood is dog and child friendly.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with our home due to its extremely close proximity to Vanderbilt Beach ( a walk ) a short drive to tons of restaurants, shops, grocery stores, gyms, library, bike rentals, marina, etc. We are only 20 minutes from the Southwest Florida International Airport and only a 1.5 hour drive to Miami and Ft.
