We had a wonderful stay at Lisa’s place in Naples! The location was perfect and close to the beaches, shops and dining. Lisa was a wonderful host and checked in to make sure we were all set. Great stay!!
Lisa was great to work with- very responsive to my questions and super accommodating. The house was very clean upon our arrival and comfortable. The pool is huge and warm!! Great little spot in North Naples area.

Thanks for the great review. I try to think of everything and always adding extra things to make my guests stay as perfect as possible. Come back soon!
What a wonderful rental! The home was spotless and incredibly well stocked, making it feel comfortable right away. The owner was very responsive and accommodating, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The heated pool was a highlight, and it even had floaties like the photos—such a fun touch! We would absolutely recommend this house and would love to stay again.

Thanks for great review. I'm all about my guests being comfortable and happy, from being super clean to having lots of extras and always adding more :-) Hope to see you again very soon!
We have done VRBO many times and Lisa was truly one of the best hosts we have ever encountered. The house is adorable and location is great. We would definitely come back again. Highly recommend!

Thank you for such a wonderful compliment. I work very hard to give the very best for my guests and agree my home is in a great location to get to everything Naples has to offer!
House was perfect for our family of five. It was clean, pool was awesome and Lisa makes it all easy for your stay. They provided everything needed to head to the beach-toys, cooler, life vest, towels, beach umbrella. It was a short trip to get to the beach by bike or car (we rented a car for the trip) and close to so many restaurants and shopping. If/when we return to Naples, we would definitely stay here again!
We had an amazing stay here. The inflatables and dive toys for kids were and instant hit. We loved having all beach equipment provided so we did t feel like we needed to travel with it or buy. Pool was in amazing condition and neighborhood was very quiet. Easy location for quick trips to beach or out to eat!!! Will definitely be staying again next time we visit local family!!!

Thanks for the great review. We think it’s a perfect location as well. Easy access to the beach, Mercato, restaurants, shops or you don’t have to go anywhere and you can just sit by the pool. Thanks again.
This experience from start to finish was outstanding. If we could rate 10 stars we would. Our host, Lisa, was friendly, attentive, and consistently and reliably responsive. The house is in a great neighborhood that provides pretty much anything you might need or want at your fingertips. The living space is immaculate and feels brand new; carpet, furniture, appliances, mattresses, TVs, fixtures, and the entire floor plan works really well. The pool is clean and well-maintained. What more is there to say? My wife and I are very experienced travelers and this may have been the best stay we've had at VRBO or elsewhere. It doesn't really get any better. Thank you, Lisa!
Everything you need to enjoy beautiful Naples! Went in the heated pool multiple times. I was relieved that I could bring my dog with me on this staycation and it not be an issue since he is larger size companion. He felt comfortable with the fully fenced backyard. Lisa was quick to respond if I needed anything or had a question. Clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed with all the essentials and more.

WE TRIVE TO MAKE AL OUR GUEST HAPPY AND COMFORTABLE INCLUDING OUR 4 LEGGED GUESTS :-)
Great location. Very communicative hosts.
The only thing I wished was that a few more household items were available. The bikes that were available needed to have the tires inflated (there was no pump). There was no plunger available.

Thank you for your review but I have to say we are beyond disappointed. I have been a Superhost at all 3 of my properties, over the last three years with 5 STAR ratings at every property for the entire period of time. We have never received anything but a 5 Star rating. You mention we were "very communicative hosts" and we are! We checked in with you every single day during your stay asking if we could assist you with anything and never received a response. You were also given my personal cell to make any questions/requests even simpler. The 2 items you mentioned are available at the property, in a storage area, on the property and we could have directed you to locate them in minutes since you did not find them. We like our properties to be super clean and uncluttered so we dont leave rarely used items sitting out.
We are frequent users of VRBO and we have never felt the need to comment before. But our stay was so comfortable, that we thought others might enjoy this property as much as we did. This home is charmingly decorated and well furnished. There is a lot of attention to detail. For example: lots of kitchenware (plastic to use by the pool), pool toys and beach towels. A nice desk and desk chair for those of us that have to work on vacation. And best of all, a box of cupcakes to welcome us.
Excellent stay at Sweet & Salty!! We absolutely loved it!!
My husband and I enjoyed this property very much. Lisa is an amazing host. She was very responsive to any needs we had. The home was very clean, tastefully decorated and clutter free. We had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the bikes, which we rode every day during our stay. It was especially fun to ride to the beach! Which was less than a mile away. We spent many hours enjoying the pool area. The pool heat remained consistent the entire stay. There were plenty of pool floatees and lounge chairs. The beds were comfotable. The kitchen was well laid out and had everything we needed.The laundry area was convenient. We cannot wait to return.

We do try our best to go above and beyond for our guests and are always improving and adding extras. Thanks for noticing :-) Come back soon!
What can I say. This is in the top two vacation homes I have rented. Everything is clean and modern. The pool is just the best. Lisa checked in regularly and made sure we had the absolutely best experience and we absolutely did.The pool was phenomenal. Innertubes and pool noodles are provided. The water is clean and well maintained. The temperature perfect.I really appreciated the home has the essentials needed to make it our home away from home for the week but not an excess of amount. I could also tell all the kitchen items were purposely bought for the home and not just an odd mix of leftovers.There was also kid friendly plates/bowls/cups in addition to the adult offerings.The internet is fast and reliable. The TV is new and large.

Wow, thank you for such a thoughtful and thorough review! I’m so appreciative and grateful for your acknowledgement of my sincere efforts to make my guests as happy and comfortable as possible. Thrilled you had a wonderful visit!
We like to sneak away from New England to somewhere warm right before the holiday season starts. This year we chose Naples FL and Lisa G.’s property was a perfect place to relax before the hustle and bustle starts up. I can’t say enough great things about Lisa and her hospitality. She was always available to assist with any questions or concerns. She also provided some great recommendations for restaurants and things to do in the area. While I know Lisa had many other things going on during our stay she made us feel like priority #1 for the entire stay. The house was perfect. Personally, I enjoyed the private heated pool the most. Plenty of chairs to lay out in the sun and a bunch of floats to keep the kids happy. It was very easy to get some AM beach time then go back in the PM for sunsets. My son enjoyed the slider off of his bedroom where he had direct access to the pool.The house is fully updated, extremely clean, and very spacious. All amenities you can think of are provided. Lisa has literally thought of everything.There is a fun fire pit area , a grill, and plenty of kitchen items if you wish to cook. Tons of linens and towels available to use. The location is great and in addition to the beach it’s very close to retail shopping and great restaurants. The best thing I can say is that in today’s world where everything feels “transactional” Lisa truly cares about her guests having everything they need and truly enjoying their stay! Thanks Lisa!

Thanks for the kind review. We really strive to be a cut above all the rest as far as providing as many amenities and having it be super clean so thanks for the shout out and I hope you come back soon.
This guest had to be escorted off the property by local law enforcement due to an abusive and violent husband who verbally abused my assistant and began throwing patio furniture. Neighbors were concerned. This review should never have been permitted.

Why they chose this property
The Sweet & Salty is a rare home in Naples Park. Not only is it comfortable and in great shape, but it offers an affordable pool home that is just one block from the Mercato and near Vanderbilt Beach. I also appreciate that the home is one-story, making it safer for kiddos and grown ups.
