3-Blocks to Beach, Steps from 3rd Street Dinning, Waterfront Pool Home on Canal

My name is Daniel Sullivan, and I’ve lived in beautiful Naples, Florida since 2001. I grew up on Cape Cod, surrounded by the ocean, which is what originally drew me to Naples and its relaxed coastal lifestyle.

By trade, I am a general contractor and engineer, and I began building luxury homes in Old Naples in the early 2000s. That background gives me a deep understanding of homes and what it takes to keep them comfortable, functional, and well maintained. I take pride in ensuring my rental homes are always in excellent condition so guests can truly relax and enjoy their stay.

I now focus on rental homes and enjoy hosting because it allows me to share the Old Naples lifestyle I love — great beaches, walkable dining, and waterfront living. Most of my interests revolve around the water, including sailing, windsurfing, photography, and spending time at the beach with family and friends.

Old Naples is one of the most special neighborhoods in Florida. It offers a rare combination of beautiful beaches, walkability, and a relaxed coastal atmosphere that’s hard to find anywhere else.

What I enjoy most is that you don’t need a car. You can walk to the beach, stroll to excellent restaurants, enjoy coffee in the morning, and explore shops all within minutes. The area has a vibrant yet laid-back feel — lively during the day and peaceful in the evenings.

Old Naples is also known for having some of the best beaches in Florida, with soft sand, clear water, and stunning sunsets. Living here allows you to experience the best of Naples at an easy, unhurried pace, which is exactly what I want guests to enjoy.

What truly sets this property apart is its rare combination of walkable beach access and waterfront living. The home is waterfront on a peaceful canal, while also being within walking distance of the beach — an uncommon and highly desirable feature in Old Naples.

The calm canal setting makes it easy to enjoy the water. Guests can kayak or paddleboard directly from the property, bring their own boat, or rent one nearby to explore Naples’ scenic waterways. It’s a relaxed, convenient way to experience coastal living.

Old Naples is known for having some of the best beaches in Florida, and being able to walk there — while also returning home to a quiet waterfront setting — makes this home truly special. You get the best of both worlds: beach days and waterfront evenings.

Another standout feature is the exceptional walkability to dining and shopping. Guests can easily walk to Campiello, Tommy Bahama, Ridgeway Bar & Grill, Barbatella, and Sea Salt. Mornings are just as convenient, with Bad Ass Coffee, Tony’s Off Third, and Jane’s Café all just steps away.

Whether you’re here for beach days, boating, dining, or simply relaxing, this home offers the perfect blend of location, lifestyle, and comfort in one of Naples’ most desirable neighborhoods.
