This house was just perfect. Many amenities such as pool toys, pool towels, games, books, stocked kitchen. The pool and outdoor area was great. We all loved this house and would definitely stay here again.

Thank you Nancy, great to hear that you enjoyed the house and your vacation in Naples. We hope to host you again soon! Best wishes.
We had a fabulous two weeks! With four adults and two children, we had plenty of room to spread out. The hot tub was a life saver as the weather was a bit cool to be in the pool. We would love to come back!

Great to hear you had a good Spring Break - hope to see you again next year.
Over all it was nice. We love the fact they have pickle ball courts down at the community pool. One negative problem we seem to have every year is the lack of communication between the management company and gate house having guests come through. Hope it’s better next year.

Thank you for the feedback Kathy. Sorry to hear that your visitors had difficulty accessing the community. This is our first year of renting the house and have not experienced this before but will ensure that future guests know how to authorise visitor access. Best wishes Philip & Caroline.
ThIs rental doesn’t feel like a rental - it immediately feels like your home. The setting is magnificent to enjoy all aspects of Florida living. Sophisticated and yet very comfortable decor. House well supplied - kitchen, beach towels, beach chairs, sand toys , 2 adult bikes, & tennis rackets.
The gated community is beautifully landscaped and great for walking and riding bikes. 15 minutes to great beaches and outstanding restaurants and shopping.
The owner is a terrific with communication.
Highly recommend and we will return!

Thank you Joan, great to hear that you enjoyed your visit and we look forward to welcoming you again. Best wishes.
We travel often to Naples and usually stay at a particular hotel. Due to the current COVID-19 situation, that was not a viable option. Having a house to ourselves was a wonderful, comfortable experience!! The house was exceptionally clean and the pool was our highlight.
Prior to our trip, Philip was extremely attentive by email to our questions which we were very grateful for. We had a couple of minor issues early into our stay, and Katja, their local host could not have been more responsive!!!
The gated community was beautiful and very well kept. We felt very secure with this added privacy.
Again, thank you, we had a wonderful time!!!

Thanks Mark, we were really pleased that you had a great time. Best wishes, Philip & Caroline.
What a great house! The layout is perfect for a family, couples or friends. The pool and hot tub are amazing and we totally used them daily (no heat required!!) Just bubbles are fun.
There is the biggest collection of beach chairs, toys, coolers etc we have ever seen in many years of renting vacation homes. Much appreciated for our many trips to the beach. Also there is a super plentiful supply of beach/pool towels. Owner was super easy to deal with and Katja the local contact was super friendly and very efficient from greeting us after arrival to helping with a couple of issues. The Briarwood neighborhood is beautiful. All houses are well maintained and it being a gated community it’s super safe. My daughter and I walked or cycled almost daily early mornings. The bikes were a wonderful added bonus at the house. This is a well equipped house and great location for several beaches, Coastland Mall (for rainy or non beach days) golf courses and of course downtown Naples and a million and one great restaurants for all tastes.
Totally recommend this property.
The villa was as described however the small touches; hand wash, detergent, toilet rolls, numerous towels, ideas for restaurants, activities just made us instantly feel more relaxed after 12hours of flying & driving. The villa is close to numerous amenities including some wonderful restaurants and tours. We chose this villa for several reasons; location, gated community, heated pool/spa…there was an ongoing issue which the owner is aware of and is going to address. The owner has been very responsive to our communications which is appreciated.

Thanks Irene for your review - glad that you liked the house and its location. You will be pleased to hear that the "ongoing issue" of the swirling water in the spa is now all sorted!
We stayed at the Blairs lovely home for 3 weeks in March. We found it to be a very comfortable home with a gorgeous pool area in a great location in Naples. A short drive to everything we wanted to see and do. Katja, the manager was a delight to work with from welcome to check out. It was very hard to leave and we hope to back next year!

The property is very accurately represented in the listing and photos. Good location with easy access to groceries, shopping, beach and Old Naples. The owner was very responsive. There were a few glitches when we arrived, which were quickly handled by the house manager and the host. That means a lot! Kitchen was well-equipped (except no can opener that we could find) and easy to use. We enjoyed the pool, especially once the weather improved! We know that mattresses preferences are very individual, but we did find the beds too soft for us. And all beds had the same level of firmness, so there were no options to choose from. Overall, it was a nice break from our cold autumn.

Thank you for the feedback Yazmine and great to hear that you enjoyed your vacation! Best wishes. Philip
This property is more impressive than the photos present. Large, clean and modern with large open floor plan. The master bedroom suite is amazing. The master bath with massive shower is a show stopper! The lanai and pool area are spacious and very private. Convenient to all that is Naples. What a beautiful property. We hope to return again someday.
Well this was our first time ever visiting Florida. The house was amazing but must say we were a little disappointed that the insuite tub did not work even though we were told it did then when contacted host was told why I would want to take a bath in the first place. My family and I are from New England and a hot bath even on a summer night is not an out of the ordinary thing. There was candles all around but was quickly disappointed when we found out it wasn't happening. Also hot tub heater does not work and for the 9 days we were there Noone ever came by to clean pool. Again this house was amazing but considering the amount we paid these things should not have been an issue.

Thank you for the feedback Julie - I was not made aware of any issues with bath or hot tub but will ensure that they are addressed. I will double check with the pool company as they are paid to visit and check the pool and hot tub every week. Best wishes. Philip
This house is in a quiet neighborhood but within a 5-15 mins of everything we wanted to do in north and south Naples. The owners and property manager were great and responsive. We all loved the pool and hot tub!

Thank you - great to hear that enjoyed your vacation!
We had a great time during our 2 week stay. The house was spacious and clean. The lanai was heaven! We spent many days lounging by the pool surrounded by the beautiful palm trees and many nights sitting in the hot tub looking at the stars. There were a few minor things that needed to be fixed while we were there but the Katja was very responsive and they were fixed promptly. We also really appreciated all the recommendations for restaurants and activities that the owners provided.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 10 day getaway in the Blair's lovely home in Naples. Philip was super responsive and helpful, sending us a list of their favorite activities, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. The property manager was a delight and also equally responsive. She made sure we had everything we needed and made us feel welcome and "at home." The house was clean as a pin and gorgeous. The neighborhood was quiet and lovely. The location was quite central and we were able to explore South Florida with ease. My kids and I had one of the best holidays ever and hope to return! Highly recommend this home!

As always on Briarwood the location is great. The house was nice and the provision of beach equipment is excellent. Lovely large lanai for the evenings and a well equipped kitchen for any cooking needs. We really enjoyed our holiday.

About the host
Hosted by Philip and Caroline Blair
We had been visiting Naples for many years, renting on the Briarwood Estate, before choosing our ideal four-bedroom property to buy for ourselves and renters to enjoy. We love the year-round sunshine of Naples, its gorgeous, unspoilt, white-sand beaches, cosmopolitan restaurants, mall and outlet shopping, and safe environment.
Why they chose this property
Our house is newly listed on HomeAway but here are reviews from two families who stayed in our house in 2018:
The Dumoulin family , Paris, France. "Your house is beautiful, easy to live in and very well decorated . We had an amazing stay in Naples, and really enjoyed the pool area, perfect for our sunny afternoons."
The Usher family, Newcastle, UK "Amazing house, fabulous holiday. We had the best time staying in Briarwood and can’t wait to visit again."
What makes this property unique
Lake View Retreat is a light and bright open-plan west-facing home with tall ceilings, lake view and all-day sunshine - we looked at many homes to buy on the Briarwood Estate before picking our perfect holiday home-from-home. We've taken great pride in furnishing our house in a contemporary, coastal style, paying great attention to detail and reflecting the character of Naples and its surrounding areas. We love our Lake View Retreat - and hope you love it too.
