Having just escaped a major winter storm, and looking forward to a sunny, beachy vacation, from the moment we walked in to this home, we were thrilled. The classy, beach theme throughout was a constant reminder that we were on vacation!
First and foremost, this home was immaculate. Cleanliness is very important to us and to our friends and this home met our high expectations.
The property manager, Joe, was very responsive to every question that we had, throughout our stay. He also provided great recommendations for local places to eat.
This home was comfortable in every way. From the beds, to the living spaces, to the pool area -- we felt at ease and relaxed. We rented with another couple, dear friends whom we rarely get to spend time with. As opposed to staying in hotel rooms, it was such a blessing to be able to eat breakfast, watch a movie, play games, plan our adventures, and hang out at the pool together in a private home.
The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need if you choose to cook. There were also pool toys, beach chairs and an umbrella, beach toys, a wagon and two bikes to ride. It was located close to shopping and restaurants, and just a couple minutes drive to the beach.
Because no place is absolutely perfect, I will add that one negative was that the master bath shower did not have hot water. It was not cool, but not warm, and never hot. But we brought it to the attention of the owner and he was unaware, so you may want to check with him, but I expect that it will be
fixed.
One other thing that we did not realize when we reserved it was that, to heat the pool, it cost an additional $20 per day. Obviously, for much of the year, this would not be an issue. We chose not to heat it as it had a wonderful shallow area at one end and we just sat in that end to cool off and it was fine, even in February. But if you have kids that want to swim, you may want to heat it so I thought I would mention it.
But these two items were so minor compared to all of the many excellent things about this property. We truly cannot recommend it more highly and were sad to leave. If we ever find ourselves back in Naples, we will definitely return to this home away from home.
