About this property
Beautiful Refurbished Saltwater Pool. One-half mile walk to Vanderbilt Beach
My favorite thing about this house is that it is very walkable. It is 5 houses away from Vanderbilt Drive and one half mile to Vanderbilt beach. It has high ceilings and beachy colors. There are plenty of pillows and extra sheets for all beds. The pool is wonderful and surrounded by plants. It has just been converted to saltwater.
1700 square foot home with vaulted ceilings, granite counter tops in kitchen and baths. Open floor plan with bar with stools, dining area for 6, spacious master bedroom with walk-in closet and access to lanai. The beautiful white kitchen is fully equipped with a variety of fry pans, pots of every size (largest ones above the refrigerator) and bakeware galore. The pantry is also stocked with spices. The pool is surrounded by plants and is private. Internet and WIFI available. There is a CD player on lanai. Master bedroom and twin bedroom are equipped with a 42" flat screen TV and living room have 60' flat screen TV and second bedroom has a 24' flat screen TV.
The Mercato is one mile away as is Publix, CVS, many restaurants and shopping. Downtown Naples is about 10 miles away and is worth the trip. It is known for its art festivals, music festivals and wonderful choices in restaurants and shopping. There is a park for children on Vanderbilt Drive. It is behind the tennist courts and there is public parking there. Also there is a Library on Vanderbilt Beach Road.

We had such a great one week stay here. The pool was awesome, clean and heated, which was great for cooler evenings. The location is my favorite in North Naples, just about a 12-minute walk to Vanderbilt Beach, which made getting to the beach really easy.The house was exactly as described, comfortable and with plenty of space for our family of four. The house seemed well cared for with pool maintenance and lawn service. The house was clean, stacked kitchen, and plenty of beach and pool stuff. Barb was very responsive and easy to reach, which we really appreciated.I would highly recommend and we’d definitely come back!

Hello Laura,
Thank you for the great review of my house. I hope you do come back. I think the location can't be beat and I am on my way today to try out the new pool!
I try to keep the house in the condition that make people happy when they walk in the door.
I hope to talk to you soon.

This was a very last minute trip and a last minute booking. What a blessing. The house was adorable, clean, and fully equipped with everything you can think of or want. The pool area was beautiful, brand new salt water pool and the pool temp. was perfect. Barb was such a pleasure to work with. The location is amazing. We walked to the beach 2 days. I will definately be back. Thanks Barb!!

And you are right...you can't beat the location.a
I hope to talk to you again.

We absolutely loved our stay. The house is clean, comfortable and well appointed. The decor is airy and "beachy" and the pool well-tended. The location is great - very convenient to the beach and shopping. The Atkins have thought of every detail and the result is delightful!

Thank you Pam for your kind words. We are happy that you enjoyed our house and we sincerely hope you come back again.
Great location, great house, everything super convenient, quiet street, close to the beach, nice pool, all kitchen and dinner ware in great condition, kids room was perfect, towels super soft, ...Owner is amazing. Had very low key and relaxing stay, visited several nature preserves, weather didn’t disappoint!The only slight minus (very slight): living room furniture
We had a wonderful stay in this lovely and very clean home. The pool was awesome and we could easily walk to the beach. Everything we needed was right there and the owners were very responsive to the couple of questions we had.

Dear Kathy
Thank you for your kind words about my house. I am very happy that you liked it so much. I know when you are on vacation you don't want any hassles. I hope you consider staying here again in the future.
Barbara Atkins
Great great stay! The home is wonderful, fantastic pool, nice kitchen that’s easy to cook in. Nice location ten minute walk to the beach. To save money on parking I would drive the family to the beach, drop them off, then ride one of the provided bikes to the beach and lock it on the bike rack. It’s a fifteen minute drive to two very nice farmers markets, one on Saturday the other on Sunday. We enjoyed our stay immensely!

Thank you Jenny,

Sincerely,

Barb’s place was perfect! We had a wonderful stay! Amazing proximity to the beach! The house was fully stocked with all the beach gear you could want - beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, beach toys, etc. Inside the kitchen was fully stocked with every cooling gadget and utensil you would ever need. Spices and cooking items were also fully stocked. The pool and covered patio were perfect as well! My family would highly recommend!

Thank you for your review of my house. I am happy that you and your family chose my house and that you enjoyed it so much. Thank you for finding my lost item and getting it returned to me. I really do appreciate it. I told my friends about that and they said how lucky I was to have such great tenants.
I hope you and your family come back some time.
Thank you

My husband and I have been traveling to Florida for a number of years. We look for location, price, and amenities. This house had all three. The location was perfect for us. Walking distance to the beach, shopping and restaurants. Good neighborhood. And a great plus, it is close to Mercato. The house was well stocked, clean, and very comfortable. The pool was an added feature. We stayed 10 days. It felt like a home away from home. I highly recommend this rental!!!

Wonderful home
Having been to Naples many times this was by far the best home we have ever stayed in. A beautiful home with everything you need for your comfort. A fabulous pool with lots of privacy. This home is ideally situated within walking distance to the very popular sandy Vandebilt Beach. The owners were extremely helpful and made us very welcome. We will certainly be returning. Thank you Barbara & Dave for making our vacation the best ever.
We really enjoyed our stay. The place was super clean and beautiful. There is plenty of space to spread out and the high ceilings make it feel even bigger. The kitchen has everything you will ever need. We cooked almost every night and appreciated all the pots, pans and kitchen amenities. The location is key close to the beach so you can walk or ride the bikes which we did every morning. The pool was really clean and a nice perk. Barb is very responsive and check in is a breeze. We will be back!

Hi Jake -
Thank you for your kinds words. I do strive to make it feel comfortable and convenient. It sound like you had a great time. I am happy about that.
You are welcome back anytime.
Barbara Atkins
First time visiting the Vanderbilt Beach area and loved it! This home was so convenient to spending time at the beach and getting to all of the other activities that Naples has to offer. The layout of the home was so nice for our family including a baby. The owner had several key baby items and lots of beach gear and bikes for the adults. Beds were very comfortable and lots of storage for luggage and other personal items, kitchen was fully stocked with cookware and utensils, living room had very cozy furniture, and it was really helpful to have a washer and dryer for our stay. We used the outdoor patio a lot and enjoyed having a pool as well. The owner was so nice and very responsive when we had any issue. Highly recommend this rental!

Hello Christy
So happy that you and your family enjoyed staying at my house! I hope you will return. Thank you for a great review.

The rental is really beautiful. There is not one thing missing from the kitchen (except a keurig) but a regular coffee pot is there so it worked. All beach items are provided, plenty of towels and lots of bedding. The house is laid out really well and the pool is not only large but I also believe to be just about 6’ deep. As of 4/2023 it seems there eventually will be a lot of construction (new houses) going up next to, across from, and directly behind the house so I suggest checking with Barbara before booking as she is a wonderful host and answered any question I had right away. I recommend this house for anyone, even families with littles, there aren’t nick nacks laying around and things to worry about and the sliding door to the pool isn’t hard for an adult but would take some serious effort for a toddler to open, I would even go out and say it’s almost baby proofed. We had a very relaxing time and once we got there, aside from food, everything was thought of and readily available. Given the chance, I would certainly stay here again.
Choosing the right vacation home is challenging. I prefer homes that seem as though they are lived in - homes that include nice touches like cozy throw blankets, soft towels, non-rusty beach chairs, lots of hangers, Samsung TVs with local cable, and interesting art work. The things that are not visible from a few photos…Barbara’s house offered that and more including 4 family bikes with bike locks. The fully encased pool is not your standard rental pool. It was nicely landscaped (although temporarily surrounded by 6 houses being constructed) and has (I think) a 6’ deep end with plenty of room for the pool floats. There is also a nice covered sitting area separate from pool deck equipped with an outdoor dining table and chairs
The interior of the home is spacious with a very large master bedroom and walk in closet. The kitchen was fully stocked with a coffee maker and Keurig. Can’t speak to the supply of pots and pans as we didn’t cook (Naples has tons of good restaurants so no need to cook). Tons of sheets, towels, and pillows.
Great location just a few blocks from the beach (easy walk). Close to Mercato, Publix, and Whole Foods. 15-20 minute ride to downtown depending on traffic.
I highly recommend staying here. The only drawback was the construction which can’t be avoided in this area (lots of tear downs). Construction is only during the weekday (7:30-5:00) when most people are away from a rental house. Would definitely stay again. Felt like being at a friend’s house.
Our favorite house yet! We loved the location. It was convenient to everything we needed. We loved being walking distance to Vanderbilt beach, but also easy, short driving to all our other favorite beaches. The shopping nearby couldn’t have been more convenient. The house was the best equipped house we’ve ever stayed in and without a doubt the cleanest. All of us commented that the beds and pillows were better than our beds at home! We highly recommend this home!
We enjoyed this vacation home. The location is wonderful. We enjoyed riding the bikes to the beach to watch the sunset. The house has everything you would need. We hope to stay there again.
This was a vacation like no other with the pandemic virus. But this lovely home and surroundings were wonderful. The house was extremely comfortable and outfitted with every thing one would need while self quarantining. The home was spotless, very light and airy. The pool area was our sanctuary. Walking distance to the beach; especially nice when we could still walk to the beach for the sunsets. The home is in a nice quiet neighborhood. We were very happy there.
We have enjoyed our stay, it is in a great location, exactly as the pictures, we’ll appointed
Our family of 5 have really enjoyed our vacation, it is truly a home away from home experience. I highly recommend this beautiful home

It is Beautiful
We have rented up and down the East Coast over the years. This home, by far was truly like being in my own home. From the minute we walked in;we knew this was going to be comfortable and it truly is. Tastefully decorated, comfortable furniture & beds, incredible pillows, soft towels and plenty of them, lovingly maintained. Everything was there that we needed. Fully stocked kitchen with premium tableware, dinnerware, staples and condiments! The location excellent for everything! And after a hard day at the beach, fishing or whatever you go to Naples to do; it was such a pleasure to come home and dip in the pool! The homeowners are very pleasant and wonderful to work with! I am a retired real estate agent, so believe me when I tell you....you won't want to leave; the property is that nice.

About the host
Hosted by Barbara and Dave Atkins
My husband Dave and I fell in love with Naples in 1999. We bought our first home on a golf course and quickly discovered that we were GULF people and not GOLF people. We live in Pittsburgh and love it, but always look forward to coming to Naples and paradise.
Why they chose this property
We chose this house mainly for the location. We loved the neighborhood and we were so close to the beach. There is a freedom to be able to walk or bike to the beach without worrying about parking.
What makes this property unique
We had a new pool cage installed October, 2018.
Our house suffered water damage in 2011. Because of that it has been completely redone from the tile floor up and it feels like a new home with updated kitchen and bathrooms. Pool has a southern exposure and we are closer than most homes in Naples Park to the beach and beautiful gulf waters.
