About this property

Charming Waterfront Efficiency- only 2 miles to Olde Naples!

The Charming Waterfront Efficiency, hosted by a local, is an independent 1 bedroom, 1 bath, private suite, attached, yet separate from main house. Be sure to read to the end of this. The property is sanctuary like, private and quiet. Fully equipped kitchenette, TV, full cable, internet, off street parking, covered veranda for lounging/ dining, grill, and side deck. Convenient location...walking dist. to many restaurants!!! See the photos of the various venues one can easily walk or bike to within blocks of the Charming Bungalow. Owner has been a five star Super Host for years on other sites and intends to keep the quality of the bungalow going to continue this trend. Laundry service provided for guests staying one week or more. Everything anyone could possibly need to enjoy time unwinding, relaxing and resetting one's energy, including a fully equipped kitchenette, as detailed in this post. Owner has lived and loved Naples since 1977 and is a full time Realtor, who will happily give guidance regarding where to go to fully enjoy your vacation in paradise. This location, only 2 miles to the wonders of popular 5th Avenue in Olde Naples, 3 miles to the gorgeous beaches of Olde Naples, convenient to several amazing food shopping venues with take out options, pharmacies and much more, is one you will appreciate and remember. After a day of adventuring, shopping and playing in SW Florida, you will find peace and serenity in your home away from home at the Charming Waterfront Bungalow. Sorry, no pets or smoking anywhere on the property, even outside. Smoke travels! Bungalow is licensed with Collier County for short term rentals. Currently there are two homes being built nearby that create construction noise during the weekdays. It can start as early as 7-8 am and last until 3-4 pm. It is right across the canal from this efficiency. It also makes the deck off the efficiency less private. Therefore the owner has reduced the nightly fee from $145. to $100. to compensate for this. If you are going to be gone a lot, this might not impact you too much. There's never noise at night and rare on weekends.

Short Visit in Naples

Easy check-in process. The rental was just as described and it was very clean. It was well appointed with thoughtful amenities. Very nice deck to sit out on. The VRBO is in walking distances to several very fun and nice restaurants. We enjoyed walking to the food carts and the music on the deck. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Wonderful Naples stay

This bungalow was fantastic. There is a semi private porch where you can sit under the trees on the waterway. The place was spotless had all the privacy we needed, much larger than expected and all amenities were in excellent working order. Would definitely stay there again.

A peaceful spot in Naples

This is a lovely place to stay, watching the wildlife from the jetty was a particular highlight, we enjoyed our stay in the cottage immensely. Like most places in Florida, you need a car.

Great place to stay

The property was very nice and very quiet. I thought the area itself was a great location. I worked outside a few days off the picnic table and the weather was perfect. There are a couple of nice restaurants within walking distance. You could probably walk to the beach if you wanted, but we are big walkers. It would only be a short Uber trip. The bungalow was very quiet and private. We were out and about for much of our time there, but our time at the bungalow was very relaxing... especially the hammock!

Peaceful and Private Bungalow

My daughter and I enjoyed our 5 days at this lovely property! The setting was so peaceful with many outdoor sitting areas, huge covered porch with comfortable furniture, and very private although right in town. We loved having kitchen facilities but also tried some of the many close restaurants and a great coffee place a few minutes walk. Our host provided detailed information for arrival and about the property and area. Thanks for a great visit to Naples!
