  • Our family has been vacationg in Naples for the last 15 years. During this time we have stayed various upper end hotels in the "old" Naples area. I can honestly say that this was the best vacation we have ever had in Florida. Kate's place offers a truly unique experience that cannot be possibly found at any local inn or hotel. The accommodations offer privacy in a natue like setting in a beatfuly decorated and clean small home. You can sit outside and read a book surrounded by beatiful landscaping. Then if lucky you will be distrated as occasional dolphin swims by, or waiving at boaters as they go by. We are boating family from the Great Lakes. We brought are small center console boat with us and tied up to Kates dock. Our days where filled with exlporing the beatiful waterways and going to remote beaches that only the locals know about. When finished sunning or fishing we typically boated to local restaraunts at Marco or in Naples Bay. For you boaters up north its worth the effort bringing your boat to Kates Place and explore as our family did. I can not finsih this comment with out giving Kate a pad on the back. My wfe and I found her to be a sincere down to earth person who now call friend.

  • January 2009 found us in exactly the same spot as in January 2008 - at Kate's Place. We had wondered why only Boaters & Fishermen should dream of this place when it equally applies to wildlife watchers, food & wine guzzlers and photo enthusiasts.....that would be us, then! Mentioning food guzzlers, Bob was able to watch, from 10 feet away, a yellow-crowned night heron, catching and then devouring a whole crab(including the shell, legs and stuff that dropped off) by the light of the lamp by the fire until nothing remained. As usual, 'the boys' were back (13 pelicans, give or take), settling in for the night on a different set of Australian Pines than last year, dropping 'depth charges' into a different part of the creek. Sometimes this is described as fish jumping - well....maybe! Every morning, a kingfisher dives for its breakfast from a tree over-hanging the little creek by the dock. Re-assured, we go into Kate’s spotless kitchen to make ours. As for excursions, we were very impressed by the sunset on the Gulf (aboard the ‘Naples Princess’, 10 out of 10), our visit to the Corkscrew Swamp and our once weekly visits to the Everglades area. So....what about January 2010.....go again? Sure thing, it’s already booked!

  • Had the great pleasure of staying in this wonderful place during the Vision Sciences meetings in Naples this past May. I was able to get away from the conference hotel and unwind in this beautiful and peaceful spot, and spent HUNDREDS less than I would have at the hotel. Kate was an amazing host, very welcoming. Highly, highly recommended if you are in Naples.

  • We spent 2 happy weeks in January at Kate's 'Little Spot of Paradise' and cannot wait to return next year if Kate will have us. The apartment is spacious, spotless and very comfortable and the outside sitting area, varied and flexible for any weather. Like everyone else, we watched the boats go up and down the creek and every evening, at around 5pm 'the boys came home' - about a dozen pelicans spend the night in Kate's Australian pines. At low tide we saw herons, kingfishers and what appeared to be Kate's pet Anhinga, which duly obliged us for sunset pictures. Ospreys frequently flew overhead. You do not need a boat or to fish to enjoy a wonderful holiday at Boater's and Fisherman's Dream. Although we liked being only 5 minutes from the 5th Avenue South restaurants we found that we used the prepared 'food to go' outlets more than usual to enable us to spend more time at ‘Kate’s Place’ to watch sunsets, wildlife, drink wine, etc. Although it must be said that our observational prowess rapidly deteriorated as the evening wore on. We hope that many people will discover Kate's place, but not at the same time as us.....please!

  • Wow! After vacationing in numerous locations in Naples over the years, "Kate's Place" is by far the best! My husband said to me the first day, "you've hit a home run this time". Not only were the accommodations perfect and clean, the privacy is unbelievable. There are so many nooks and crannies in the beautifully landscaped yard. I loved reading in the garden swing. Beautiful native plants and flowers are sprinkled throughout. Cute bottles and candles delight hidden in the bushes and trees. Blue herons,egrets and pelicans are plentiful. I think all of Naples pelicans returned to Kate's trees at night. Several tiers of docks provided sun or shade at all times. Fishing off the dock was fun. A local fisherman offered us freshly caught fish off his boat. He even docked and cleaned and butterflied the fish for us on Kate's "fish cleaning" dock. We shared with neighbors for great h'ors doeurves. Many delights await in the neighborhood all within walking distance. "Bayshore Coffee Company" was our morning walk for fresh quiches,egg sandwiches, scones & muffins. Wonderful restaurants for all tastes are located here and are delicious and reasonably priced. After a full day in beautiful Naples, we couldn't wait to sit on the dock watching the sun slip behind the trees having our cocktails. Friendly boaters would wave as they returned from their day. Kate has done a fantastic job with her property. She's a treasure and we were so lucky to have met her. She provided everything we needed. We'll be back!!

  • I fell in love with “Boater’s and Fisherman’s Dream” as soon as I saw that picture, I mean the one taken from the water with the deck, dock and palm trees The more luxurious apartments I had checked before lost interest … they did not appeal to me any more …Kate’s place was just what I wanted for my mum’s and my vacation . I relaxed and I felt happy only when my reservation was confirmed and thanks to Kate’s promptness everything was easily settled . My expectations kept on growing together with the usual doubts which always accompany my great enthusiasms Doubts vanished when after a long flight and a few hours driving I finally got there to that “secluded oasis” close to Naples Fifth Avenue Kate welcomed us opening our garage door and introducing us the whole house, our cosy apartment, the facilities … and immediately we enter into a fascinating, magical atmosphere … Smiling Kate tour lasted not very long, less took us to feel comfortably at home Ah, by the way, I am a travel agent in Italy, I have been travelling through USA for more than twenty years and by now I suppose I am quite able to judge if and when a vacation is really worth it, being at Kate's means to enjoy comfort and peace on every day of your stay It has been three weeks since I got back to my country and more and more I miss “my” dock in the sun, the water around, the jumping fish, the herons and egrets in the mangroves, the pelicans on the trees above me lying in the sun, the friendly waving boaters … the wonderful time I spent there. Before returning to my actual reality and leaving my sweet memories, I do like to tell all of you my mother and I have already planned our next and longer vacation at “Boater’s and Fisherman’s Dream” so, I warn you not to dare make any reservation before I have made mine Daniela and Mum

  • Having just returned from our stay at "Kate's Place", all rested, tanned and happy as clams (not on the half shell), we want to say that we felt we had dropped into a little bit of heaven on earth. From our hostess, who seemed like an old friend from the minute we met, to the fabulous surroundings, there was nothing more we could have asked for. The joy of seeing the pelicans nest in the trees above, made us think- "We're not in New York (Kansas) any more.". The home was emaculate and all that was provided for our use was astounding. Our thanks to Kate for the most wonderful of vacations!! Deb and Mike

  • We have just returned from a wonderful two weeks in this delightful and tranquil property. Sitting on the decking in the wonderful garden watching the boats glide by was just a little bit of heaven. The apartment is beautifully maintained with everything you need and Kate Riley is charm itself, very anxious to make your holiday as comfortable as she possibly can. We can't wait to return.

  • What a wonderful place! It was the perfect vacation get-a-way for us. We enjoyed the views of the water, the birds, the boats...and our hostess was a delight! She made sure we had everything we needed and even provided bathrobes to relax in. The unit was impeccable....can't wait until we can stay there again!

  • A perfect getaway for us because of the island ombiance while having easy access to all the activities of Naples. The beautiful birds, plants, flowers and watching the boats go by was so relaxing and peaceful and that was just having breakfast in the screened-in porch during breakfast! The apartment is spacious with all the ammenities of comfort. We are excited to return whenever there is a vacancy!
