About this property

"Get away from it all!" at this very special property that features serene waterfalls, water gardens, large heated pool. This home is a two story, spacious and well appointed. If you enjoy nature, water gardens, generous heated swimming pool, and a spacious home, then look no further. If you desire privacy away from crowds and want to explore the beauty of your very own water gardens, you may view birds, butterflies, fish, and flowers in abundance right in your own back yard! If, this sounds like a piece of tranquility that your looking for then look no further!

Many upgrades on this split level home. There are exotic rosewood floors throughout the upstairs and travertine tiles. A camera system has been installed, as well as, decorative metal security gate and fence around one acre of the property. A second kitchen has been added to the ground level floor. An outdoor water garden, water features, a 18' x 34' grecian style pool with fountain, a a spa, and a generous paver deck around the pool for entertaining. Many palms, fruit trees, bougainvillea, and flowering bushes adorn the property. This home has six bedrooms, three bathrooms, and two living areas.

This home is ideal for large groups and/or families. Or, if you just want to "get away from it all", this property will give you the privacy you desire, but, still keep you in close proximity of the beach, shopping, restaurants, golfing, and movies. This home is located in a very quiet and ungated community.

I am a regular practitioner of yoga. I have had this house for 12 years and my goal has to make it into a tranquil oasis. It has been important to me to create a blissful and quiet space. I feel this resonates not just within the walls of my home but, beyond to the the spaces of my gardens as well! It has an incredible healing and rejuvenating energy about it.

2025 family vacation!

We stayed with our adult children and their partners and 2 grandchildren. The hosts were very responsive and great to deal with. The family enjoyed the pool the entire week. The house and property were very spacious for all of us.

Place needs to he better maintained

Location good. Property is large but needs to be better maintained. Pool was in need of cleaning and water felt slimmy. We did not feel comfortable swimming in it. No shampoo, soap in showers, kleenex and extra toilet paper supplied. While this place is reasonably priced, it needs to be better mainrained.

Not as advertised

Pictures online are very outdated. Yard is very overgrown, water was green, screens were missing in sliding doors, property needs some TLC to bring it up to advertised photos. When we got there, pool was green, AC worked off and on all weekend. Owners were responsive to our calls.it could be a great place, just needs some work

Just what we needed!

A great location, beautiful pool, and enough rooms and size to accommodate our large family group of all ages. The pool was a big hit. It was heated and was cleaned during our stay.The house was very clean but could use some minor repairs/updates, nothing major and nothing that would stop us from staying here again. Overall, a great experience!

Serene Waterfalls

We were a football crew of six adults, we liked the close proximity to Paradise Coast Sports complex. We had issues with lightbulbs being out, first floor shower being clogged and a half attached toilet seat (both were fixed but still had a slow drain), and cooking pans and utensils were a smorgasbord of misfits. We were barely there and it served our purpose but we will be looking to stay elsewhere next year.

Great location

This house is in a great location and close to a lot. The home has good privacy in a nice neighborhood. The home itself is very outdated and in need of a little cosmetic love. The pool was not heated and had a lot of debris at the bottom. Otherwise, place worked for our group, it was a comfortable stay.

Family retreat

The property was great and Melissa is a fantastic communicator. It was obvious that some of the other reviews have been addressed as we could see recent maintenance on the deck. The property outside could benefit from some maintenance but it’s landscaping. The pool was great and the hot tub was a nice place to warm up and hang out.

My inlaws and I stayed at this house for an extended family vacation. The location had great access to restaurants and the beach. The pool was beautiful and very family friendly. We had an issue with the TV the host responded within 4 minutes and she had a new TV in the house the next day. We highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Engler

We have lived in Naples, FL for 12 years. We have a fountain company and have four children, two of which are grown. We have done a lot of extensive traveling with our family and when we decided to purchase a different home we decided to rent out our old home to fellow travelers. We have always valued being able to rent homes instead of hotels. There is nothing more comfortable than being able to make your family breakfast in the morning. Or being able to have your own special space when traveling and not feel rushed or in the way.

I have a very strong yoga practice. It has been important to me to create a blissful and quiet space. I feel this resonates not just within the walls of my home but, beyond to the the spaces of my gardens as well!

Why they chose this property

This property, because it was our home, is very special. We have renovated it ourselves, built the pool, water features, and put the gardens in. This is truly a unique property, as, it has been customized for a family in mind. We like our privacy and have tried to landscape in a fashion that gives a person a lot of privacy. We like the location because you truly feel that you are away from it all, but, still can drive within a few minutes to most everything!

What makes this property unique

It is good to be able to be in close proximity of everything but, still feel that you are in your own private oasis. This home gives you a truly unique perspective of Florida living. You can watch butterflies, birds, and see beautiful and unique plants. We boast a large heated swimming pool with a gorgeous water fall. The stunning ponds with the waterfalls and lotus galore! A truly unforgettable retreat!
