Don't have to drive to the beach.

It's a 1/4 mile from condo door to feet in the water. So easy to get up and walk on the beach at sunrise, go to the beach during the day, nap and freshen up for awesome sunsets. Very short walks on the beach to Gumbo Limbo at the Ritz, or the other direction for Turtle Club or LaPlaya. Plenty of places to walk/bike off the beach as well. Excellent location with easy access to grocery stores, restaurants, etc. The condo has all the necessary items for a long stay, comfy beds, washer/dryer and all appliances worked as expected. Communications with the owner was prompt, directions very clear and very responsive to questions or any issue that could arise.

A beautiful gem located at a perfect spot!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Janine's Naples / Vanderbilt vacation home. The appartment was perfect for our needs. The home is well maintained, and fully equipped. Very comfortable beds! The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Besides that, the tv service is great, and the WiFi is strong. Also the appartment is waterfront, and the views are great from the patio. There is a nice pool on location, and the kids enyoyed it very much. There is also a small pier/dock next to the pool with seats provided to enjoy the waterfront views/ catch some fish. The location is where it really shines. Located just steps away from Vanderbilt beach. Shoppes/ Wallmart supercenter are closeby. In addition, there are multiple great spots within a short drive; community parks, Naples Zoo, Naples Botanic gardens, Naples Pier, Tin City, Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, etc. I also very much enjoyed fishing from the docks. Caught some nice ones!All in all, a perfect location for a diverse set of activities. Janine was the perfect host; we arrived late, and she helped us get settled right away. The effort was beyond what we could have asked for. Very much appreciated! Any other questions during our stay were anwsered quickly. An absolute top-host!

About the host

Hosted by Janine

Host profile image
My family began visiting Naples in the 1970s and moved full-time in 1988. My earliest memory of Naples is vacationing in an apartment - that you can see from our kitchen window - steps away from Vanderbilt Beach. How exciting to now own a home in the area we first fell in love with! Living and raising a family in Southwest Florida is a joy - and we are so honored to share it with you!
