Beautiful Garden ottage

My partner and I were lucky enough to spend a wonderful, relaxing week in Marianne's cottage in November when we visited from London - we can't recommend the cottage, Marianne and her hospitality highly enough. It was a delight to meet the handsome Merlin too! The cottage itself is beautifully appointed with everything you could possibly need, with thoughtful, generous details that make it completely luxurious and a true home from home. Everything is of the highest quality, the decor is gorgeous and (our weakness) we loved having a nespresso machine for coffee in the morning! Marianne was on hand whenever we needed to make sure everything was working perfectly and she catered for every detail. Nothing was too much trouble. Equally, the cottage is extremely private and has it's own entrance - Marianne was an incredibly respectful and gracious host. The final touch was the abundance of tropical fruit from Marianne's own garden and provision of a blender with which to make delicious, frosty smoothies every day! We loved taking these to the beach in the cool box that Marianne kindly lent to us. Thank you so much for everything Marianne and I hope we will make it back some day, we wish you and Merlin all the very best.

Simply Perfect!

This little cottage and the property are magical and the hostess was amazing. It was a great place to relax and unwind and yet the location offered everything you could want or need -- restaurants, the beach, shopping. Will definitely be returning to this little slice of paradise.

Excellent property and Landlord!

We enjoyed our one month rental in this adorable cottage among a lush private yard filled with plants, flowers and shrubs. Our Landlord went over and beyond to tend to all our needs and our dogs, from vases of flowers to dog bones, use of her pool, bikes, grill and beach chairs! We would recommend this place to anyone!

As wonderful as the pictures showed!

This adorable cottage and beautiful setting was a perfect place for our extended stay in Naples. As so many reviews have shown, Marianne is a wonderful host, very responsive to any want or need as well as supporting us during our stay with details about getting around the area and offering suggestions for things to see and do. Our favorite part of our stay was certainly the outdoor space; the patio offered privacy and comfort day and night for reading, eating, and watching the adorable little bunnies who visited frequently. We couldn't get enough of it! We also loved having access to the pool when the afternoon heat prompted us to want to take a dip and relax poolside. Memories of our five-star vacation at Pine Ridge will last forever!

Paradise

I’m not sure I can add anything to previous reviews. The property and the amenities are exactly as described. The area is amazingly beautiful and it’s location is ideal. We were near beaches (we preferred Clam Pass Beach) and shopping, but our area was very private and quiet. Our hostess was most accommodating and helpful. You really can’t go wrong staying here.

It was just me and my 15 year old daughter. Cottage has everything you could possibly need and owner is so kind, thoughtful, and available if needed. We stayed during a tropical storm and we had so much fun being secluded in a paradise setting!

A beautiful moment in time

I cannot accurately express how much we loved our time staying on this property. My Girlfriend and our two dogs spent 3 weeks here, and it passed in a blink of an eye. The property is incredible--a true tropical paradise with so many different types of fruit trees including mangos, lychees and bananas. The garden is amazingly cared after, and is a delight to walk through and explore. I really enjoyed sitting under the pagoda in the evening, and watching the dogs play while sipping on cocktails I made using fresh fruit from the garden. The property is located in a neighborhood filled with multi-million dollar mansions, many of which are really spectacular. so if you enjoy walking around and seeing amazing houses, this is a definite plus. Our dogs absolutely loved the property as well and had great adventures chasing the many bunnies that roam the grounds. When they got too hot, they would pop into the swimming pool to refresh themselves before continuing the chase. As for Marianne, she is an absolute gem. So welcoming, friendly, considerate, generous and so helpful. We really got along well and she loved the dogs too. We miss the property and Marianne. We will definitely be back!

Cottage in a Subtropical Paradise!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cottage. It is exactly as described in the listing and the 5-star reviews are spot on! Marianne is a thoughtful and gracious host and makes sure you have everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We brought our dog along, and Marianne went out of her way to make the dog feel as welcome as us. When we arrived, there was a welcome balloon, soft music playing inside, a candle burning, chocolate pudding fruit and mangos (delicious, by the way!), two bowls and some treats out for our dog, Zadie. All so appreciated after a long drive! The yard is just spectacular (Marianne is an amazing gardener!) and you can spend much time wandering around the paths, admiring the fruiting trees, flowers, and beautiful foliage. The cottage is beautifully appointed, very clean, and has everything you need. The deck is a lovely spot for drinks and meals, surrounded by tropical trees and blooming flowers. The two weeks we spent at Marianne's cottage were just what we needed!

Outstanding cottage in South Florida

This cottage in Naples, Florida is a beautifully furnished, conveniently located place from which to experience many splendid subtropical wonders. The living space is a wonderful place to spend time in or come home to. The kitchen is very well equipped. After fishing in the Gulf surrounded by pelicans and dolphins, we baked fresh seafood and dined on the beautiful patio among palms, orchids and papaya. Marianne’s cottage will remain in my memory as a subtropical dream!

Great Place to stay

I leased this property from June 10 to August 10 for my son who had an internship in Naples. My wife went with him for the first week to help get moved in. The property was exactly as advertised. Marianne was there from beginning to end and helping in any way. A great place to stay if you're ever in Naples or the area.

Best vacation ever!!

This was our first time in Naples, Florida. We stayed a month in this comfortable and quiet cottage that truly is in nature's Paradise! Beautiful palms, fruit trees and flowers galore on this large property!! Great wi-fi and lots of cable channels. Washer and dryer was especially convenient and necessary. Good bicycles in the shed. The cottage is situated in a great location close to the beach with multiple excellent shopping malls throughout the city. So much to see and do.....from museums, botannical gardens, city tours, sunset tours, shelling tours, and fishing expeditions. Marianne, the owner, lives closeby and was always available to answer our questions, as well as providing us with a beach umbrella and sun shelter. We can't stop talking about our vacation and hope to return next year. We will definitely recommend this cottage to all our family and friends.

Paradise in Naples

Mariannes cute, cozy, warm, inviting, very very clean, well stocked cottage was nothing less than exceptional. Truly a tropical paradise. Morning coffee on the peaceful deck with the birds chirping was heavenly. I ditto the previous 5-star reviews, I could go on and on and write a book on this property and this beautiful stay of ours. If I could give Mariannes cottage 10-stars, I would. Anything you needed Marianne was always available and very gracious. Myself being someone who loves to decorate, Mariannes cottage was decorated with some of my personal favorites; West Elm, Anthropologie, Bose, Williams Sonoma, Nespresso Machine and other high end kitchen appliances. We loved every minute only wish it could have been longer. We would definitely stay again. One other thing, I would like to thank Marianne for the beautiful welcome when we arrived from the welcome balloon to the soft music and the beautiful scent of the candle she had burning to the beautiful bouquet of flowers. Marianne was the perfect host in this little piece of paradise.

Nature Lover’s paradise

Places like this are why we don’t stay in hotels. The home is bright with lots of natural light and windows, a kitchen that is stocked with everything including an espresso machine, a super comfortable bed, and a nice size deck to hang out on. It is in a neighborhood of gorgeous homes on a private, secluded lot. The grounds are landscaped with flowers and lush vegetation all around. It felt like we were staying in a botanical gardens. The owner is very attentive without being intrusive and she gave us many restaurant recommendations and also let us use her parking sticker for the beach. The location is close to lots of shopping but we came to explore the natural areas. Ding Darling Refuge on Sanibel Island, Marco Island, Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary and the Everglades are all only an hour’s drive away. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Quiet cottage yet close to everything!

It’s rare to actually live in a beautiful story book cottage in the middle of a city. But that’s exactly what this felt like. The cottage itself was lovely, very private, and was nestled on lush grounds in an area of lovely homes with extra-large lots. My husband spent many an afternoon lounging on the deck, watching hummingbirds In the tropical foliage while I zipped down to Naples’ very chic and civilized shopping districts. The cottage is located just a few blocks from Whole Foods, another grocery store, and the Mercato, with shops and lots of great restuarants. It is just perfectly located. Marianne was a most accommodating host. She gave us complete privacy yet was sensitive to our needs, even before we realized we needed anything! Just an absolutely lovely stay for us. Thank you Marianne!
