Get cozy on the oversized sectional couch and indulge in the 77" Roku ready TV. Can't find anything to watch? Check out our selection of over 100 DVDs. Open access to the pool and sunning deck areas enhances the relaxation. For quieter moments, retreat to the library/office and peruse the shelves for a good read. A laptop, printer, and office supplies are on hand for those who can't completely escape the work flow.

2 full suites, located at opposite ends of the rental, open into the 1,200 square foot enclosed pool cage, featuring a heated 12 x 36 foot pool and multiple seating/dining areas. The third bedroom opens onto the paved side patio, while the fourth bedroom has access to the screened front porch. All bedrooms are furnished with king-size beds topped with 4" memory gel toppers, and any or all rooms can be converted to twins for those with individual sleeping requirements (perfect for bigger golfing groups!). Each bedroom also includes a Roku-ready TV. Additionally, the home offers 4 twin-size sleeper sofas, 4 oversized couches, and multiple air mattress sizes from twin to king, as well as 2 specially designed toddler air mattresses and 3 Pack 'n Plays, providing accommodations for additional sleepers of all ages.

We've got kids covered with fun activities at this Naples vacation rental. The colorful, fully-stocked kids playroom will keep the youngsters entertained for hours. For the older kids (ages 8 to 98), we offer a game room packed with electronic basketball, foosball, air hockey, dart board, chalk wall, wet bar, popcorn machine, cotton candy machine, karaoke, TV, game table and over 50 board games, just to name a few options.

Private Outdoor Space & Pool – Naples FL

Step through any of the 4 French doors onto 1,200 s/f of private enclosed outdoor living space, free from bugs, offering a private Naples FL vacation rental experience with secluded outdoor space, rare acreage, and nothing but peace, nature, and room to relax.

Take a dip in the 12'x36' heated pool, complete w/toys for added fun. Work on your tan on the large sunning deck or enjoy the shade under the giant Sunbrella retractable awning, all while watching the game or music videos on the 50" poolside TV. When hunger strikes, fire up the propane grill for a family meal.

After lunch, head to the north side of the home for some old-fashioned swinging, sandcastle building with the kids on the "sand beach," or simply relax on the large paved side patio while safely watching the kids be kids. Take a leisurely hike on our private walking path and explore Florida’s natural surroundings along the way.

As night falls, the light show begins. Whether you're in the pool or beside it, you can quietly listen to the wildlife under the canopy of lights in the enclosed bug-free private environment. After enjoying the paved fire ring and roasting a few marshmallows with the kids, send them off to play in one of the great playrooms while you enjoy a cocktail. You've earned it!

We're conveniently located near multiple golf courses, restaurants, grocery stores, and shopping centers. A paved walking trail is also within walking distance.

Our home is self-managed, ensuring you always have direct contact with the owners. You'll receive your own personal access code, eliminating the need for keys or dealing with leasing agents. We refer to ourselves as 'The Front Desk' and will personally meet and greet you upon check-in. We'll provide a quick tour and highlight the home and grounds, and answer any questions or concerns you may have upon your arrival.

We have our own housekeeping and caretaking staff, and having a member of our team or your hosts on the grounds during your stay ensures that we're available immediately if any problems arise, with qualified individuals ready to assist and remedy any issues at a moment's notice.

I always love to hear when my guests have had a great time. After all, what are vacations for if you can't totally relax and unwind. I would say I have done my job - however, I will never be DONE with making sure every experience is worth talking about (and that means in a Raving manner - not Ranting!) - And all the thoughts for expansions, improvements and additions keep me up late at night- the property and the experiences are only going to get better from here! (Including a fabulous built-in outdoor BBQ kitchen). You are a pleasure to work with - the care you gave the home was impeccable and for both I thank YOU! Your family is welcome anytime - and from the sounds of it - that can't be soon enough - :) We look forward to seeing you again in the near future! Take care Jan

The beds were so comfortable and the grounds were private and relaxing with so much to do for the kids. Besides the beautiful pool, there is a sand pit with rocks to explore on and swings to enjoy.

Hi Beth! 20,000 - I LOVE it!! And I give you all the same right back as great guests. You have a wonderful family and amazing grandkids - and I think your little 'spokesman' has a future in politics - lol. I love his message on the chalkboard (just like he promised me & then REMEMBERED!) Fantastic :) Thank you for taking such good care of the house and tell the kids I'm so happy that I don't have to separate the barbie shoes from the lego's (wink/wink) Thanks for staying with us and know that you are all welcome back ANYTIME - and please tell the girls I have towel hooks with their names waiting on them in their bathroom! Take care & stay safe out there~ Jan

Great fun in the Sun!!

We had a party of 12 - 7 adults and 5 children ranging in age from 3 to 78. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and lots activities and games for the group. The pool area was wonderful, warm and a perfect place for everyone to bask in the sun and watch the kids playing with all of the toys provided. It was like going to a toy store. Jan provided many extras for us to enjoy. The s'mores were a big hit. We would come again.

Perfect Family Getaway!

Everything about the property was fantastic! Communication with Jan was great. The set up of tbe house was perfect for four families. We had two 5 year olds and they never unpacked a single one of their toys! Between the game room and the pool there wasn't much desire to leave - we did rent a boat and a 15 minute drive to Marco had us on our boat and out yo Keywadjn for some shelling. We took a 30 minute ride to Big Cypress for an airboat ride. Loved that we were so close to everything but yet felt secluded. Perfect spot where great memories were made! Until Next time...

Hi Rebecca - I'm so glad everyone had such a great time! We pack the house with goodies, so your never have to unpack or leave (shhh~ It's our little secret.) The boat rides are always fun around here and you can't boat without stopping for the shells! Love all the photos you sent us and that chalkboard wall - WOW! I'm trying to figure out how to immortalize it :) I'm glad that you could bring along Ginger the Dog as well. Every dog needs a vacation too! Thanks for taking such good care of the house and all the 'cleaning' you did before you left. We appreciate you! Please come back ANY time (and we'll keep check-in time our little secret - lol) Oh- and the peacocks are probably going to miss you~ Take care & stay safe out there! Jan

Everything you need

We were a group of 11. This was a business trip, so we mostly worked during our time there. All of our needs were met, and I imagine this would be a near perfect place for large families or groups of friends who would just like to relax and enjoy the surrounding area. Good space, ample parking, great kitchen and grill. Jan and her team were very responsive throughout. The house is well stocked and located in a quiet area. We felt the need to air it out a bit on arrival (it felt just a little musty), but I think that is likely the case with all homes in a humid environment.

Hi Marc - Thanks so much for staying with us. I am glad our home met the needs of you and your colleagues. We are striving hard to make sure that all one needs to bring to sunny Naples is their bathing suit! As to any musty smell you may have encountered - I can only imagine that is the result of our having the game room carpeting as well as the large area rugs thruout the home cleaned just prior to your arrival. We have had some crazy cool temperatures lately and a/c's have not been running as they typically do thruout our winter seasons. As we have our carpets/rugs cleaned often I will make sure the team keeps the air moving thruout the home so that this is never a problem again. Thanks again for staying and for taking such wonderful care of our home. Take Care ~ Jan

Perfect home away from home

We had a three night stay which was not enough to scratch the surface of what this property had to offer. There is so much stuff to do and fun to be had here. We were in Naples for a tournament and didn't have much down town to enjoy the board games, video games and everything else the house had to offer. The pool was fabulous and we enjoyed the firepit with friends. Anything you could have needed was supplied. Forgot something? Never a worry...you were sure to find it somewhere in the house. Jan is an exceptional host. She truly thought of everything you could possibly need for your stay. She was super responsive to any questions we had and treated us like friends using her home.

Hi Annie! Can I start by asking if you could bring me your mom for safe keeping (and then you'd have lots more reasons to come back and see us again!) She's an absolute treasure :) Actually, I'd keep your whole family. You have an amazing group there! I'm glad that everyone found lots to do, sorry that you couldn't have stayed longer. But hoping that you'll make your way to see us again some day. Our housekeepers send their love. One said, "People like this make my job security seem scary." I hugged her and then handed her a rag saying, "There's always going to be dust."- lol. Thanks so much for taking such good care of our home & for all the 'x-tra's' you did to boot (it WAS noticed!) As much as you appreciated a great host - I equally appreciated great guests! Thanks for staying with us, take care & stay safe out there ~ Jan

Best Young Family House in Naples!

We cannot say enough good things about the Naples Paradise Palms house! I almost don’t want to review it so I don’t give up the secret! Jan is the BEST host; easy to communicate with, readily available for any need or questions, and has great recommendations! The house was SPOTLESS which is crazy considering how large it is and all of the nooks and crannies. The pool was perfect, the toys and kids items (pack n play, high chairs, pool toys) were essential for us. The yard is wonderful and the king-sized beds in each room were perfect for our multi-generational family. We can’t wait to come back! The ONLY minor downside of this house is the location, it’s located on the southern side of Naples, so great access to Marco Island and Big Cypress, but about 25-30 mins to downtown Naples/Zoo area with traffic during the busy season (spring break). This is easily negated by the beautiful pool and spacious yard though, which you would be hard-pressed to find in any other Naples location

Hi Linzy & family! Thank you so much for the kind words. Our housekeepers tell us that it's easy to keep the place in great shape when our guests are so awesome! Thank you for taking such good care of the home. We try to pack it all in for folks of all sizes, shapes & ages (2 legged & 4) and yes, even Larry the Lizard that came to stay with us once :) We are so glad everyone had a great time and we do hope you think of us next time down in Naples. While our traffic is CRAZY during springtime/break (it's hard to beat our weather for sure!) often turning 10 min trips into 25 with heavy traffic, being on the south of Naples is a big advantage for our golfing groups and adventurers who don't then have to fight the traffic to get to their great outdoor activities. It's always a catch-22 for someone though and we hope the peaceful surroundings & amenities more than make up for. Take care of that new baby and have a great 2025! Jan

Loved it!

Loved the house- we never ran out of things to do - this place has everything. Loved the hostess (super nice & helpful) Loved the beds (super soft) - Loved the huge walk-in showers Loved the game room! (cotton candy maker!) Loved the kids playroom (this is HUGE if you have kids - we never saw ours) lol Loved the kitchen (all kinds of gadgets & small appliances that you always wanted to try out) & the pantry (we got in late and found oatmeal, coffee, tea & juice for the morning - this was perfect for hungry kids before we could get to the grocery store) + there's a lot more stuff in the pantry too! Loved the pool - the outdoor activities - fire pit, horseshoes, golfing, exploring the woods (the owners left the kids Jiffy Pop & marshmallows for the firepit - the kids have never seen Jiffy Pop) what fun! Best of all - the kids never asked, “What are we going to do now” - in fact, they cried when we told them they had to go back to their OWN home What a perfect vacation! I am so glad we found this house - we WILL be coming back Robin, Dave & the kids

Robin - I am so glad that you LOVED our home. We are striving to move way beyond the 'Must Haves' to the 'Nice to Haves'. We are new to the rental market and will continue to improve and evolve as we go along - so each time you visit there will be new wonders to discover. Thanks for staying with us -your family has been a joy to work with too. And thanks for leaving the home in such great shape - (I almost felt guilty calling in the housekeepers) -:) We look forward to seeing you back in the future! Jan

Amazing vacation!

My husband and I have brought our children and grandchildren on multiple vacations in Naples area. This house is perfect, and Jan could not be more accommodating! From pre planning discussions on children sleeping arrangements, to questions during the stay, to follow up after check out, Jan is wonderful. She makes sure that you have everything you need, and promptly responds to questions. The entire family throughly enjoyed our time. Close enough to get to the beach, or grab a coffee quick, but far enough from the hustle bustle that you can enjoy the peacefulness of a campfire with marshmallows. The playroom is a God send. The younger kids could always be found in the playroom, the older kids (and a lot of time dads too) could be found in The game room. So much to do! The set up of the house, with lots of seating, allows for family meals to be enjoyed together. We absolutely plan on staying again. This house is everything it boasts about and so much more! If you are looking for a fun filled vacation without any hassles, Jan will make sure you are taken care of before, during, and after your stay! Perfection!

Property and amenities were perfect for a large group!

This property was more than we expected. The owner (Jan) was in contact with us prior to the vacation, which made us feel comfortable knowing that a real person cared. Everything you could possibly want for a large group to enjoy vacation, was available at Jan's. Everything from linens to pool/beach items to every small appliance for cooking to games and game accessories (popcorn maker/ice machine). We had it all. The home was exactly as described and the pictures helped to explain each of the areas perfectly. The beds were all comfy and plenty of extra room (inflatable beds/couches) for extra sleepers. Jan checked in frequently to ensure we were finding everything we needed and were comfortable. The front door combination security lock was the best idea for a group (no "lost" keys!). Property was immaculate and since this is a new-to-the-market property, very well maintained. We were just about 20 minutes to Marco Island, less than an hour to Sanibel and Captiva. We loved Tin City in Naples for shopping and took a lovely afternoon cruise in Naples. Jan is planning some upgrades to the water system which will make this home absolutely perfect! The highest compliment we (ladies group of ten!) would give this property is that we would definitely return.

Ann - I am so glad your group was able to have such a great time in Naples - at both the house and out about the town. These days vacations go way too fast and making sure my guests are both happy and comfortable is my #1 priority. Thanks for your kind words - I am trying hard to make sure that the home not only meets but exceeds my guests expectations. My goal is to always have that 'new house feel' ~ Being new to the rental market brings it's own set of new challenges and we will continue to make improvements (some fun, and some not so much) as we hear from our guests. This is my family's vacation home and we want our guests to feel as if it is theirs too- adding in their valuable comments, suggestions & feedback. And of course, returning back to us from year to year! Your group was a pleasure to work with. Thank you for taking such good care of the home and we look forward to seeing you again! Take care, Jan

About the host

Hosted by jan shipley

Host profile image
This is our family vacation home as well & we take great pride in keeping it up to date, maintained, clean & packed with amenities. You will be cared for AS FAMILY by the OWNERS from the moment of initial contact. We are not just another faceless management company and we always adhere to our own high standards when guests trust us with their vacation time & dollars. We enjoy hosting and have made real relationships through the years with folks who have continued to return to our home time & again. We are not a 'back-alley' short term rental operation.  And your safety is a priority to us.  Maintenance issues DO NOT go unnoticed or neglected.  And we rely on our guests to help keep us informed of any issues of concern so we may get right to them.  From hard-wired smoke/carbon detectors thru-out the home, an on-the-ready fire extinguisher, exterior cameras on the property, to a full-house alarm system if you choose to activate. The county acknowledges us, we collect & pay the required taxes and our neighbors support, look out for & generally like to see the home stay filled with amazing families such as yours enjoying their 'much looked forward to' vacations. That being said, it would be our pleasure to host you and your guests as well. Thank you for taking a look at our home. Take care & stay safe out there.

Why they chose this property

"Don't touch that!" A parents famous last words. But who wants to hear/play that during a long anticipated, much needed family vacation. We got ya. You won't find any white furniture here! (Oh- and you can bring along your 4-legged furry kids as well.) Sitting on 1.5 acres of isolation from the hustle & bustle of the city the entire family can enjoy 1200+ s/f fully enclosed 12 x 36 heated pool, the 'sand' play beach, wooden swing & when night time falls the cozy paved fire pit for s'mores & story sharing. Upon entering the interior, guests will be delighted in the open concept layout of the main rooms.  It's 'family time ' after all & where all those activities melt seamlessly into one another. And as the days wind down private bedroom wings anxiously await your slumber. As night falls, retire to one of the 4 bedrooms.  2 main suites at opposite rear ends of the home each opening onto poolside. Each suite houses a king size bed (all beds in the home have 4" memory foam toppers & further break down to twins accommodating different guest needs).   Suite #1 features 55" tv, jacuzzi tub, dual sinks, walk in shower & separate toilet room.   Suite #2 offers an additional couch for sleeping, walk in shower, separate toilet room & houses the washer/dryer closet.
Moving to the front wing of the home bed #3 houses a king bed & private patio w/screen door allowing one to enjoy fresh air & palm trees.  While bed #4 opens onto the front screened porch & features a colorful large dressing room & king sized bed. A common sitting area & 3rd bathroom w/walk in shower completes this wing. For additional sleeping, sofa sleepers, couches & air mattresses are avbl. Head into the sunshine you'll find multiple seating areas poolside along w/retractable Sunbrella awning, 55" TV,  propane grill, overflowing pool toy box & lounge chairs to work on your FL tan. Practice chipping w/the floating golf mat or net (don't worry - special foam golf balls keep us all friends.)

What makes this property unique

The kitchen comes fully stocked & well-equipped..  We've tried to anticipate any needs a 'home chef' might have from large appliances to small.  Pots, pans, baking & doo-dads.  We've packed it in trying to keep life simple as possible.  You're on vacation after all... And for those nights 'eating out'- the pool deck grill, utensils & outdoor dishes await your culinary delights. A highchair & multiple booster chairs are also avbl for our youngest guests (as well as 3 PlayPaks & swing). Just off the LR sits the colorful kids play room.  We've filled it with books, games & toys that you WON'T find at the local Wal-Mart, letting that imagination run wild. (And an ever-helpful baby monitor so mom/dad can relax at ease w/those much-earned chilled glasses of wine).
And for the older 'kids', check out the game room off the office/library.  Foosball, basketball, air hockey, putting green, darts, board games galore, chalk wall, karaoke, poker table & wet bar. The list goes on & on... (Did we mention the theater popcorn machine, cotton candy maker or ice cream soft serve.) Yup. It's all there too. Whew! Now you just might need a quiet breather, right? Pop back into the library for a great vacation read or oversized tabletop picture book sure to delight the senses & hey, maybe you'll even learn something you hadn't known already. And don't forget- morning coffee is that much better on the enclosed front screen porch while the 'exhausted' family slumbers peacefully away ~ (shhhhh.....) Or head out onto our private walking paths winding thru the property, enjoying the sweet morning Florida air & exotic tropicals along the route. When all pruned up from swimming all day - send 'em out to play in our oversized sand 'beach' area. Take a ride on our wooden swing or play with one of the multiple outdoor game sets just waiting to test your skills & competition.
