When we were looking for a Florida vacation home, as active outdoor enthusiasts, the location needed to have easy access a diversity of outdoor options. We love the vast array of activities which the Naples area provides: access to a wide variety of beaches, kayaking in the bay, river or gulf, a fantastic botanical garden and zoo, superb state, county and community parks. In addition, there is a great selection of eateries and shops along with many weekly community events to choose from like art shows, outdoor concerts and farmer's markets. Being from Minnesota, we were very interested in a warm getaway location. and have found the Naples weather to be some of the best we have ever experienced.
