Location!!! A one bedroom cottage, 2 blocks from Gulf, and Old Naples.

Cottage A is behind the Monarch Butterfly Migration Station. Enter the grounds via the white-shelled path to your patio and front door. Unlock the space via a keypad lock.

The main room has high ceilings and a fan above the queen bed. Two windows face the driveway, and one faces Gordon Drive via the front garden. The windows have white wooden shades that let in light and provide privacy when closed. The HVAC system includes both heating and air conditioning. There is a ceiling fan above the bed.

Stepping inside the room from the porch, you will find a comfortable reading chair on your left and a small desk with a chair on your right. The television is mounted above, allowing you to view it from the comfy chair and the queen bed. Two side tables with drawers and lights sit beside the queen bed. A stylish bench at the foot of the bed lets you store your shoes beneath it and leave your things on top. In the far corner is a closet with extra linens and supplies. Past guests have commented that the cottage is well-stocked with beach supplies, extra blankets, pillows, umbrellas, an iron and a board, plus two luggage racks for you.

An open, arched doorway leads from the front bedroom to a second room that serves as the living room and kitchen. A loveseat, also a pullout sofa, has a low coffee table in front and two side tables for drinks and lights in an alcove. A window looks out to the butterfly garden and Gordon Drive. A beautiful cabinet on the wall outside the bathroom holds your things.

The kitchenette runs along two walls opposite the sofa and coffee table. White marble counters on both sides of the deep stainless sink make the space pop. Standing at the sink, you have room on the right and left to prepare your meals. Floating wooden shelves above the sink hold white ceramic dishes. A window allows you to look out, offering views of the green courtyard and white-shelled pathways.

The white cabinets above and below add to the scene and provide storage. The full-sized fridge is behind the kitchen wall.

This kitchenette does not have a stove or dishwasher. Cottage A does not have laundry facilities on or off the property.

The bathroom has a new grey vanity with one sink and a white porcelain top. A large mirror and light above give the space a nautical feel. The newly tiled, glassed-in shower is stunning. We have a wooden shower seat that is a nice accent point, plus handy.

You have one parking spot in our driveway. Enter the property through an archway covered in bougainvillea vines, and follow the shell path to your patio.

Note -
**Cottage A and B are attached under one roof line. The porches are adjacent, but not shared. In our pictures, you can see that Cottage A is on the right and Cottage B is on the left.

***Construction has been ongoing across the street from us for the past eight or so years. The building phase was most active in the last two seasons. I wondered, 'What do you do when living near a construction site?' The answer was to use noise machines and earplugs. I stocked them and lowered the nightly price. I use the VRBO Market Price Tool to set the nightly price.

****Guests, of course, would rather not have construction, but, saying that, we still have 5-star reviews, and reports say construction runs until 4/5 p.m. and does not occur on weekends. As I am not in control of the building schedule, I can only go on what the guests report in our feedback.

****The 2026 season looks like it will be trim on windows and doors, and the inside work.

As we are so close to the beach, Old Naples, and the National Parks and Everglades, there is enough to do to avoid construction hours.

If you are a late riser and do not want to wear earplugs, I suggest that you choose another spot.

Cottage C is farther away - we also have 385 and 387, on 8th Ave, which you can find in my profile.
