About this property

Direct Gulf on Vanderbilt beach, pickleball+tennis, heatd pool, June 30-July 18!

Directly on the Gulf on Vanderbilt Beach—all photos taken from this condo, and my unit. Bask on the beach, by the pool or on the lanai...or under an umbrella, with your condo 10 steps away. This is a 30 unit, quiet environment with a private beach, heated pool, and tennis/pickleball court on Vanderbilt Beach.

It’s a well-kept secret and a perfect place to have a restorative getaway or a vacation with your children--the large apartment will give you all the space you crave for a vacation and you cannot get closer to the Gulf of Mexico.

There is a 14 night minimum so the low nightly rate when compared to the La Playa Resort down the beach reflects that—way more space for your vacation budget dollar!

This is a pristine 2 bedroom, with an enormous living area and additional office area, free, screaming fast WiFi, with 2 full bathrooms including a master bathroom and dressing room with a walk-in closet. The updated kitchen has glowing stainless steel appliances, reverse osmosis (purified) water (no more hauling bottled water), granite counters, and fully equipped with a wide variety of cooking appliances and utensils.

There is a heated outdoor pool overlooking the beach and Gulf of Mexico, on-property parking, tennis/pickleball court, and dock. The condo is renovated with a tropical feeling, overlooking the Gulf of Mexico--you'll be thinking you've landed in Paradise. There are panoramic views of the ocean, palm trees and sunsets from every room--the master is also on the Gulf so you can hear the waves on the beach while you sleep. The second bedroom has views of Wiggins Pass Lagoon and your tennis/pickleball court. The beach is groomed daily and always quiet because there are only 30 units in this building with 13 private homes adjacent to the property. You could nap on the lanai, after watching the dolphins and manatees in the Gulf.

This condo is turn-key - just bring your clothes and everything is there for you. Why pay hotel prices for one room, when you can have 1600 square feet stretched over the Gulf of Mexico? Your nightly rate also includes resort, amenity, parking fees, utilities and WiFi. Why not find out just how good you can feel after 14 nights on the Gulf of Mexico? You’ve now found a beachfront quiet getaway without the chaos of those larger buildings; make your reservation today!

Prices are subject to change for future dates, prior to a firm reservation. Once your reservation is in place, nothing changes and your reservation is secure. I only have this one in Naples so if you have specific dates in mind please use the "instant book" feature on this website so your dates don't get shut out. The property has been completely restored from the Hurricane Ian, Helene & Milton. Keywords: Condominium, Beachfront, Gulf of Mexico, quiet, beachfront, Updated Kitchen, Heated Pool

Fantastic Location

We have been going to the Vanderbilt Beach location for over 30 years! This place has the best location and you are right on the beach! Close to restaurants and shopping. The walking is our favorite down Golf Shore Blvd. Hats off to Liz (property owner) from the beginning to the end! Very thorough and always quick to respond! Defiantly a hidden gem!

Vanderbuilt Beach Retreat

My family and I had a wonderful stay! The condo is small, but very clean and functional. Our only issue was that the elevator was worked on off and on for the entire month. We were very fortunate to only be on the second floor, so it did not effect us too much. I would definitely stay here again.

Sensational View!!

We have always stayed ocean front during all of our 43 years of travel in too many places to name, this by far is the best view and beach access yet! The water is absolutely pristine and so close, with solid white sand as a bonus. The condo building is so intimate with only 30 units, and the grounds are immaculate with an extremely nice heated pool, that you can actually feel is heated and we were here in December! The unit itself if very clean and spacious with everything you would possibly need for a 2 week or longer stay. Parking is incredibly easy, with a reserved parking spot. Beach Yoga is every other day, and is very close by. We spotted dolphins really close to the water's edge and great sea shells as well. The restaurants and shopping are in abundance so close by. The owner Liz is remarkable in her communication and the information she supplies. I can't think of a better host that stayed in constant contact anytime I needed her, which made the stay in an unfamiliar location, much easier to relax. Thank you Liz for your hospitality, we hope to be back soon!!

Exceptional

My recent stay at the Vanderbilt Beach property was an absolute dream come true. Situated right in front of the breathtaking beach, this vacation rental truly captured the essence of a beach lover's paradise. The moment I stepped into the property, I was immediately taken aback by the stunning views that greeted me. The expansive windows and balcony offered panoramic view of the blue waters and white sands, allowing me to enjoy the mesmerizing beauty of Vanderbilt Beach from the comfort of my own private oasis. I must commend the owner, Liz, for her exceptional hospitality and attentiveness throughout my stay. From the moment I made the booking inquiry until the day of my departure, Liz was always available and eager to assist me with any questions or requests I had The property itself was beautifully

We Couldn't Be More Pleased

My husband and I are fortunate to have come across Liz's property for our yearly trip to Naples, FL. It is located within a short distance to restaurants and shopping centers, and is an easy drive to 5th Avenue, the bustling heart of Naples. Most importantly, for us, it is located directly on the Gulf of Mexico, where we enjoyed the serene view of the water every day. The home is appointed with everything one could want to enjoy a beach vacation, and if there is something a guest might need in the condo, Liz is quick to respond. She is patient and kind, willing to do anything to make her guests comfortable. We especially enjoyed the Lanai, where we sat many a night to dine al fresco and watch the sunset. One couldn't ask for more. We were sad to leave, but happy knowing that we had found a beautiful home to vacation in Naples when we return. We highly recommend Liz’s home for your holiday.

Comfy Condo on Great Vanderbilt Beach Location

Husband and I booked a 2 week golf and beach trip here to explore the greater Naples area. Came right after Snowbird Season” ended( ie post April 15). We had the private beach all but to ourselves and loved our 3rd floor views ( 1st floor is parking) ftom living room, lanai and bedroom. Kitchen has modern appliances and the living space is large. Master bedroom was also large with a big walk-in closet. Area is still reconstructing from last Sept. horrific Hurricane Ian, but businesses are open and the energy to rebuild is super positive. So no lack of amenities, but empathy for the reconstruction is appreciated. An extra plus with booking now is the weather is great-high temps but not humid, so extremely pleasant and great ocean breezes. No red tide or sargasm. And less crowds so often no need for reservations for dinner. Golf rates are highly discounted now, too:) This was a great vacation!

Wonderful Vacation

We loved Naples! We had never been and were surprised at how beautiful Vanderbilt Beach was! The beach outside our condo window was breathtaking. The palm trees and white sand with the ocean and sun behind them created an amazing view. We ate at many delicious restaurants and some were waterfront with incredible views. The condo was perfect and Liz was extremely enjoyable to work with! We will definitely be back to her condo!!

About the host

Hosted by Liz Harris

Host profile image
I’ve always loved the beach and have acquired four beach vacation rentals in four prime areas of the United States: Naples, The Hamptons, Isle of Palms, SC and Destin. I was in the Thoroughbred business in Kentucky and now am a construction consultant and actively manage my beach vacation rentals.

Why they chose this property

The complete quiet is one of this location's best features--there are only 30 units in the building. I've traveled to beaches all around the world and have never found a more beautiful beach, more quiet and pristine, with access to such an incredible town, shopping and restaurants, as well as sports and the best nature-viewing around---as Naples, Florida.

What makes this property unique

The beach is amazing, expansive and full of sea-life. The birds are wonderful to watch and the beach-walking is great. The views and proximity of the condo can't get any closer to the Gulf of Mexico. Of course, I love the fantastic restaurants, many within walking, biking or driving distance.
