The Home:
Rarely available for the season! Our condo in Naples is located in the heart of the city, Old Town. It is 2 ½ blocks from the beach, and within walking distance from upscale 5th Avenue and 3rd Street shops, galleries, and wonderful restaurants.
The master bedroom has a queen-size bed. The second bedroom is set up as an office with a beautiful desk, recliner, flat screen TV and a trundle bed that opens to two twin beds. Our condo is our vacation home and it has been completely remodeled: new kitchen cabinets, granite countertops, new stainless steel appliances and 21' tile throughout.
We have free Wi-Fi, large flat screen TV, blue-ray DVD player and a DVR to record TV shows.
The Neighborhood:
Naples is a small, affluent beach city in Southwest Florida – situated on the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. Whether you have a passion for golf, fishing, shelling, shopping, bird watching, wildlife viewing, boating, the beach or the arts, you will find plenty of choices.
We are close to the Everglades, which you can explore by hiking, canoeing or by airboat in the wetlands and marshes or by swamp buggy in the cypress swamps. Many guided tours are offered in his area. The Everglades has been called the “ River of Grass” .
Sanibel and Captiva Islands and their shelling beaches are less than 30 miles away. Miami, two hours away, makes a wonderful weekend getaway.
Other Information:
On a typical day in Naples, we will start our morning by walking along the beach to the Naples Pier, coffee at Tony’ s and a stroll around the upscale 5th Avenue and 3rd Street shops. Another delightful morning stroll is to go over to the docks to read the paper. We might go swimming in the late afternoon, watch a beautiful sunset and walk to 5th Avenue for dinner at one of the wonderful restaurants in the area.
On other days, when we feel like doing more it is always interesting to visit areas that show Southwest Florida’ s wilderness, such as the Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve, Big Cypress National Preserve, or Everglade City. A boardwalk stroll is interesting. Swamp buggy rides (shallow-draft airboat) , for instance out of Everglade City, are exciting.
