Spacious Apartment with Incredible Ocean View

My family and I had an amazing time at this 3-bedroom apartment at Vanderbilt Beach. The place was very clean, spacious, and super comfortable, which made it feel like a true home away from home. One of the highlights was the beautiful view of the beach — we enjoyed every sunset from the balcony. The location was perfect for relaxing and spending quality time together. We would definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic beach getaway.

Beautiful stay in Naples

My family stayed in Ruth’s home for 2 weeks over Christmas. It was lovely and a great place to stay. We loved being so close to the beach. We played pickleball across the street. We were able to make healthy dinners easily made with a well stocked kitchen full of pots and pans. We are hoping to stay again sometime.

Christmas Beach Vacay!

Our family had a wonderful time during our stay! The unit was clean and very well kept. We loved the decor too, it has a great beach vibe! It's a corner unit over looking the pool and has spectacular sunset views too. It's great being able to walk out directly on the beach, which is never as crowded. Also, the host is great. She is very accessible, responsive, and accommodating. We highly recommend!!

First time travelling with my kids and it couldn’t have been a more enjoyable and easy trip thanks to Ruth and her lovely condo. Location is amazing, right on the beach, and the condo grounds are beautiful and well kept. Everything from beginning to end was perfect. Loved watching the sunsets from the lanai. The condo was fully stocked, she had anything you could possibly think of. Ruth was very easy to communicate with, always responded quickly and was happy to help in anyway. We are counting the days to return, I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in the Naples area. Thank you Ruth for such a beautiful family vacation. Counting the days until we return!!!

Wonderful location

This condo is located on gulf shores drive on an uncrowded section of beach featuring breathtaking sunset viewing. Condo looks exactly like pictures and is clean and furnished nicely. The unit was stocked with lots of beach items: chairs, towels, toys...a definite plus. It was lovely and we hope to stay again. Owner was very pleasant and returned any calls within minutes. We had a wonderful stay.

A true gem! Ruth was such a great host. Her property was immaculate and she provided every item you could ever need and want. The building and pool were just beautiful. There was no downside to anything. If a “10” rating is the best rating, Ruth and her property on the beach was an easy “100”. I was lucky enough to hang out at the pool one afternoon with Ruth and Dave. They are so nice, helpful and informative. I can’t say enough of how pleased my wife and I were to stay at this property. The sunsets in the evening were just amazing. Thank you Ruth!

Best vacation ever! The condo is very clean and fully stocked with everything you can imagine. There are rafts, umbrellas, chairs, coffee, soap, dishes/cookware even toilet paper to get you started. The beds are comfortable. The beach is extremely close and the condo is locked to outsiders without a building key. We came in August and it was like we had the beach to ourselves. We watched pelicans catch fish, found amazing sand dollars both dead and alive and we had manatees swim just a few feet from us on 3 straight days along with dolphins about 10 feet from us. Oh.... and those sunsets and night skies cannot even be described so I attached photos instead. We will certainly be back!

Incredible Sunsets!!!

Ruth was excellent to work with! Communication was great. Condo building is almost "new" after the hurricane. Pool area is very nice. Brand new paved walkway out to the beach area is perfect to take your chairs out and watch the magnificent sunsets. Great location for restaurants, beach walks, and short drive to downtown Naples! Condo is well maintained and very clean! Can't go wrong!!

AhhhMazing!

I stayed at this property with my family and had the most AMAZING time! The condo is lovely and so well equipped with everything you need. The location is steps from the beach and pool, and a short drive or even walk to many restaurants. We spent time relaxing, watching sunsets, mini golfing, playing cards, fishing, taking shelling trips, eco tours and air boat rides. There is so much to do in the Naples area, we went out to the Marco Island area too. After all our adventures it was so nice to come back to the quiet peaceful Vanderbilt Beach and just relax. Cannot wait to return!

Dream condo

Nicer than advertised! This condo feels like a home, as Ruth has clearly made great efforts to furnish and appoint the condo. Bigger than we thought, and cannot beat the location. We loved falling asleep each night to the sound of the waves. Several times, we thought, "Wouldn't it be nice if we had __." Low and behold, after opening a few closets/drawers, it would turn out Ruth had already thought of this. We would love to return!

Wonderful Condo With Amazing Views

This condo is very comfortable, nicely decorated, modern, extremely well stocked and right on the beach. What more could you ask for? The views of the sunsets are amazing. While the ground level of the building is still under construction for hurricane repairs, Ruth was great at communicating the updates to us in advance. She is super nice and was responsive to any questions we had. Although we have historically stayed on Bonita Beach for the previous 18 years we will definitely consider coming back to Sunset Daydream in Naples. Our family had a great, relaxing beach vacation! Thank you Ruth!

About the host

Hosted by Ruth Wenzel

Host profile image
My husband David and I are from a Chicago, IL suburb and we are parents to 6 adult children and 6 grandchildren (so far). We didn't travel much when our kids were young, but we started to travel a bit after our youngest went off to college. We vacationed on Vanderbilt Beach a few years ago and fell in love with the area and all the nearby amenities. My husband was nearing retirement and we hoped to start spending even more time in Florida, so we decided to start looking for our own piece of paradise!

We looked for a condo on the beach that would suit our needs, but would also make a good rental property. We finally found this gem in April 2019! We remodeled the unit to update the decor and to make it more comfortable and better able to suit the needs of different rental groups.

After COVID hit, we decided to add a home in the Naples Park area to our portfolio. We found this remodeled bungalow that is less than a mile from the beach and purchased it in October 2020. Again, we set it up to accommodate either families, several couples, or multi-generation families.

We added a third property - another Naples Park bungalow - in October 2021 and remodeled it to bring it up to our rental standards.

We hope you love spending time at our homes as much as we do!
Ruth and David Wenzel

Why they chose this property

We are thrilled to have an end unit that faces Southwest. We can watch the sunrises and magnificent sunsets from the different lanais in the condo. We are just steps away from Vanderbilt Beach; one of the most highly rated beaches in Florida, with it's sugar white sand. We are close to the airport and some of the best shopping and dining in Naples!

What makes this property unique

Direct beach access!!!
