Fun in the sun along Florida's Gulf Coast
Nestled in the upscale community of North Naples, Vanderbilt Beach is home to sunny skies and sprawling white sand beaches. Enjoy your leisure time in the Florida Gulf Coast city, whether you spend your days frolicking in the waters or exploring the great outdoors in the region's lush green space. You'll also find major attractions, including gardens and zoos in nearby Naples, just 15 minutes south of the cozy beach city. It may be hard to part with your comfy Vanderbilt Beach vacation rental but it's worth it to see all the area has to offer.
Dust off the sand and explore the city beyond the beach
Booking a Vanderbilt Beach vacation rental means you'll always be close to a host of fun attractions. Nature lovers can get lost in the wilderness at the Naples Botanical Gardens, where palm trees, orchids, and ponds filled with water lilies dot the colorful landscape. Embark on a safari adventure at the Naples Zoo, where you'll enjoy up-close encounters with tigers, cheetahs, and pythons. Or splash into some good times at Sun-N-Fun Lagoon, an outdoor water park where you can float down a lazy river and test your nerves on massive water slides.
From kayaking to tee time, outdoor activities are calling!
Soak up the rays at Vanderbilt Beach as you spend the day bike riding or playing beach volleyball. Cool off in the gulf's warm waters with a quick swim or try your hand at windsurfing, kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, or kiteboarding. Looking for a slower pace? Relax with a leisurely picnic or treat yourself to an ice cream cone from a beachfront snack stand. Cast your fishing line from the Naples Pier or test your sea legs by chartering a deep-sea fishing vessel. Hit the greens and play 18 holes at one of the numerous nearby golf courses.
No surprise here _ get ready for plenty of sunshine!
Like most spots in Florida, Vanderbilt Beach offers year-round sunny skies. The area's tropical climate translates to warm and dry winters, where the coldest it ever gets is the low 50s. With 90-plus-degree temperatures, high humidity and heavy rains, summertime is a good time to take shelter inside your Vanderbilt Beach vacation rental. The beach community sees 8 to 9 inches of rain each month between June and September, so make sure you pack an umbrella. Leave your sweaters behind in the spring and fall when daytime highs hover in the high 70s to mid-80s.
