About this property

Villa Costa – WALK to BEACH-- Relax, Play, Enjoy! Beautiful Memories Await!


Hi! My husband and I own Vanderbilt Villas, which includes three fantastic beach houses—this one, Villa Costa, and two others, Villa Cascata and Villa Palma. Each has its own fantastic vibe. Visit them all sometime and pick your favorite! There is the same amazing hospitality at each one.

Let's talk about this amazing one now!
Welcome to the tropical Villa Costa—your Ultimate Beach Retreat!

This is truly your home away from home, designed for comfort, fun, and making unforgettable memories. We don't put up yard signs to advertise because that would take away from the whole vibe of this being YOUR beach home for your scheduled stay.

As the owner (not some faceless management company!), I’m here to ensure you experience a fantastic vacation and feel like this is your home that you can't wait to return to next year or hey, visit one of our others, but come back again!

This 3-bedroom villa can very cozily sleep up to 15 guests—if you like them. If not, stick with 8-10 and keep it a tad quieter and spaced. Really, though, every space is thoughtful, practical, entertaining, and easy on the eye!

✔ Oversized primary suite w/large bathroom including separate bath and shower
✔ Baby Porta Crib to sleep a little. As a side note, we have a high chair too!
✔ Epic bunk room (sleeps 10—yep, really. Stuff ‘em in and shut the door.)
✔ Cool beachy third bedroom with a queen bed, with a surfboard and all!
✔ Fully stocked kitchen—no flimsy, one-use pans here!
✔ Large dining room table for an amazing family dinner + a fold-up kids’ table so they can bond over their own dinner chat.
✔ Screened-in patio w/ string lights, outdoor TV & Sonos speaker—cue the yacht rock
✔ Yard games, hammock & loungers for maximum chill mode

Entertainment? Well YES!
Arcade nook w/ full-size stand-up Golden Tee machine loaded with buckets of games
Bookshelf full of reads for screen-free relaxation
TWO remote workspaces (for working… or at least pretending to)
TVs hung everywhere for everyone; no need to fight over the remote.

Surprise! Every closet hides fun extras—maybe workout gear, a musical instrument, or craft supplies. Open and find out! Don't worry—there are no cluttered and overwhelming closets; the fun is organized!

The kids will always have toys, games, and books tucked away. Teens (to help you get them off their phones) and adults will have games, too; we didn't forget you!

Don't forget the garage stocked with beach gear, a wagon, chairs, towels, sand toys & even a little cooler to stuff with refreshments!

Ok, back to Paradise-- Take a short walk to the beach in about 15 minutes.
Tired feet, hot paws, or whiny cuties? Take the 2-minute drive to the parking ramp at Vanderbilt entrance or the parking lot at Delmar Wiggins.
Either way, paradise awaits.

A Few Things to Note:
Bringing a pup? Small, well-trained dogs (30 lbs max) are welcome! $30/day for one dog, $50/day for 2. Cleaning fee: $50 for 1, $75 for 2. Please clean up after them—we’re all about good vibes, no surprises in the yard, pretty please.

Grill away! If needed, fill the propane tank for your group and use the included wire brush to clean it quickly after every use.

As hard as it is to leave the comfort of the beach pad-- get out! There's so much to do, and I included a guidebook in the home with some suggestions. If you're new to the Naples scene, we love Baleen at La Playa or the Turtle Club. The bonus is you can hear the waves in the background while you enjoy your meal and company. More casual... Rocco's Taco's, Hampton Social for neighborhood spots. If you like even more casual than that, I have more recommendations that are popular with locals, so ask. Oh, Blue Martini also doesn't disappoint for a great happy hour or a nightclub kind of a night. If you like cigars, don't bring them home, but enjoy them with a drink at Burn. Incredible experience and good times. Most of those spots are in Mercato, where you can spend hours, day or night!

As for beautiful downtown Naples, we LOVE Malto for amazing Italian food, Aqua for a drink, and people-watching, just to name a few. Some of our favorite days have been a late lunch or early dinner with a short walk to Naples Beach for sunset. On gorgeous 5th Avenue, ending on the way back, we grab gelato; there are a few spots to choose from.

There's more. When we aren't eating, we love a charter with Joey D's to see all the beautiful Gulfside homes and relax on the boat—amazing for sunset. We have also taken the easy drive in under an hour to the Everglades to take a fun airboat ride and hold the baby gators. There's so much more, too. This gives you a taste. Feel free to ask for any recommendations on something specific!

Every store you can think of is at your disposal in 5 minutes: Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Publix, Walmart, and more! If you are new to Naples, go to the best store in the city-- Seed to Table, about 15 minutes North. Trust me, you've never experienced any grocery store like it in your life, and don't just think of it as a grocery store; it's an experience. I promise! Some locals are convinced it's the best steak in the city. You pick your cut of meat, and they cook it to your liking. Enjoy it at a table while you listen to the music! If you have kids, they have a great little play area with complimentary babysitters.

Naples is an excellent blend of beachy vacation with major conveniences and entertainment.

Have so much FUN!

Book now & let the good times roll! Don't hesitate to ask any questions or voice any concerns.

I can’t say enough about this house. Well stocked, very clean, nicely decorated. Michele even decorated for Christmas after I was asked if I wanted it. I felt like I was staying at a friend’s or family home. Michele was very responsive as well. Beds were comfy

Perfect Stay!

We were visiting near by family for Thanksgiving and needed a place to stay for my family + In-laws, including our dogs. Not only were the pictures representative of the property, but everything was clean and well organized. We had great communication our entire stay, and with all of the family friendly items in the house (board games, outside blocks, and connected TV’s), it made for a great get-away! The beach is less than a mile, and a fantastic location. I hope to stay again! All 5 stars from us!

About the host

Hosted by Michele D’Ambrosio

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Michele! ☀️🏝

My husband and I grew up in Northern California, but life and career moves have taken us all over the country. One of our favorite places we ever lived was San Diego, and when we moved to Connecticut for work, we desperately missed having a beach escape. That’s when we found Naples—and let’s just say, we fell hard for the sunshine, beaches, and laid-back vibe!

During COVID, we were lucky to spend extended time here, and we knew we had to make it permanent. Thanks to my husband landing a remote tech job, we made the dream a reality and now raise our kids by the beach—a lifestyle we’re so grateful for!

We’re a big, loving, travel-obsessed family, and I take so much pride in helping others have amazing vacations. My goal? To make Villa Costa feel like your own home away from home, where you can relax, have fun, and make incredible memories.

I hope you fall in love with Naples just like we did. If you are no newbie to Naples, we understand why you are coming back. I hope you enjoy Naples paired with this home and consider making this a tradition. We have 2 other homes on the block too, if you want to try something different next time!

Can’t wait to host you!

Why they chose this property

When we first started looking for a vacation home, **Naples wasn’t even on our radar**. We thought about **Destin**, but then remembered we like our winters *warm*.

Enter our **hilarious, one-of-a-kind real estate agent**, who showed us all over town while we did our research. Something about **Naples Park just felt right**, and after discovering the **500 block is *the* place to be**, we zeroed in—and oops, we fell in love with and purchased **three** homes instead of one.

And just like that, our hosting adventure began! Now, we get to help families create unforgettable vacation memories, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

What makes this property unique

With Villa Costa, I had a clear vision from the start: to create a true gathering place—a space that feels like home the minute you walk in.

We’re the kind of family that always makes room—at the table, on the couch, even on an air mattress if needed. No matter how big or small our homes have been, we’ve always believed that laughter, connection, and shared moments are what makes a house truly special.

When I found this property, I could instantly picture it filled with friends and family—deep conversations on the patio, kids snuggled in the bunk room after a sun-soaked beach day, cousins staying up late whispering about life, adults chatting over coffee or cocktails, and people just... being together. That’s the dream.

Yes, it might be a little cozy with a big group—but that’s what makes it warm, vibrant, and real. There’s something for everyone, from quiet corners to game-filled afternoons. My hope is that Villa Costa becomes a place where memories are made, where you leave with a full heart and maybe a few funny stories to take home.

Because in the end, this is what it’s all about—our people. And creating a space to celebrate them is my favorite part of being a host.
