This was a special visit because my dear wife passed away recently and Naples was a place we visited quite often. I loved this property so much that I wish it were one that we had rented during one of our visits. I highly recommend this property!! The outdoor area and pool are beautiful and the home offers any and everything you might need from kitchen items to beach essentials. I vacationed with my mom and we will definitely be back

We had such an amazing time here for our family gathering vacation! The home was super comfortable and welcoming, and it was stocked with absolutely everything we could possibly need—including a fully equipped kitchen for our family meals and excellent, super-comfy beds with great mattresses for a perfect night’s sleep. The décor was beautiful and gave the whole place a warm, relaxing vibe—perfect for spending quality time together. The pool quickly became everyone’s favorite spot to hang out—it was just perfect! And the nearby beach is absolutely stunning, with crystal-clear water every single time we went. The host was wonderfully friendly and always quick to reply. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to make special family memories, and we can’t wait to come back!

This was our first time to SW Florida and we had a great stay. Ruth’s house was the perfect size. It is in a great location, clean, well decorated, comfortable beds, and we loved the outdoor space with the pool. It is where we hung out as a family the most. We stay at 2-3 vacation condos/houses every year and this one is at the top of our list. Would highly recommend!

Great Family beach getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed this property in Naples. Great location to beaches with everything you’d need...bikes, toys, towels, umbrellas, beach pass, etc. The home is furnished with a clean and bright beach vibe which made it even more enjoyable. Plenty of space for our family and all the amenities we needed; pack and play, booster seat, family games, and a wonderful warm pool and hot tub. Can’t wait to come back!

Christmas in Naples

The property was as advertised and then some. Very clean, easy to follow instructions for every functional piece of equipment from light switches to pool heater. Well thought out and ample amenities for guests. Stylish decor and updated everything. I visited friends who were also renting in Naples over the holiday and all I could do was exhale when I left! Definately deserving of a 5 star rating...

Great location and house!

We enjoyed our stay tremendously. Very comfortable house. We were 5 adults but 6 would have been fine. Easy walk or bike to beach. Excellent shopping and restaurants close by and only about 20 minutes to Old Naples. 30 minutes to RSW Airport. Enjoyed the Lanai and pool every afternoon. Ate outside every night that we cooked in the well-equipped kitchen. Would love to go back to this place. Owner was very nice and stayed in touch frequently to ensure everything was good.

Vacation in Naples

The house is beautiful! It looks even better than the pictures show. We had plenty of space (family of 5). The house is very immaculate inside and out. The appliances are very clean and top of the line. The kitchen was very well stocked which was nice. The bathrooms were beautiful and super clean. Each bathroom has soap, shampoo, conditioner and toilet paper. The house has everything that you need for vacation: beach towels, umbrellas, beach chairs, even a cooler to take on the beach. There are 4 bikes plus a bike trailer for the kids. It’s only 7 min. To the beach by bike. The pool and jacuzzi were very clean. The owners were very easy to reach and very responsive to questions. The neighborhood was quiet. We will stay again for sure.

Naples gem

I’ve been booking thru VRBO for the past few years, and I can honestly say this is at the top of my list. The owner Ruth, from the gate was top notch, after booking she requested a live phone call to get to know me, and my family. We talked for a good half hour or so getting to know each other. From there, she kept open communication with me about payments, questions, or anything else we may need. The day before heading down to Naples I received check in instructions, clear and very easy to follow. Check in was flawless. We stayed a total of 11 nights, best nights sleep I have ever gotten in a rental property. Beds are like sleeping on marsh mellows!! My families favorite thing about the house was obviously the pool area, but Ruth went above and beyond with the screened in pool area. Last year, we had a beautiful pool at our rental property in Georgia, but the mosquitos down south must love our northern blood, we got eaten alive in Georgia, but not this year!! We would swim all night long in Naples here, and not get a single bite. To boot, you also have the spa which was great too!! Anyways, you can come to this property with your clothes, and your groceries and not need a single other item. Ruth provides you with EVERYTHING you could possibly need. So please, take my advice and book a stay here, you will not regret it. Everything is within 2 miles of the property, the beach, Walmart, Publix grocery store, alcohol for the adults, endless places to eat dinner, and then go get ice cream. Come on people, it’s not rocket science, do it, you only live once!! Live like Kings and Queens at Ruth’s property here in Naples Florida!!

This home was amazing! It was very clean and obviously recently updated with all the best finishes. My family especially loved the pool and hot tub! Beaches were very close by and the home offered everything needed to enjoy the beaches with towels, umbrellas, chairs and coolers, including a backpack cooler which we primarily used. The beds were very comfortable, and there were even extra toiletries if needed. We found everything we needed to cook meals in the beautiful kitchen. There are four bicycles with helmets and bike locks which we used to ride the short distance to Vanderbilt Beach. Although we didn’t need it, there was also a toddler trailer for the bikes and a tent for children at the beach. The outdoor TV was amazing, just had to use our own passwords to access streaming devices. The neighborhood was quiet, and the location was not far from Walmart or restaurants. My family has already decided to return to this home!

Perfect Family Getaway in Naples

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful house in Naples! The house was very clean, spacious and had everything we needed for a comfortable family vacation. The pool was a big hit - we especially enjoyed relaxing in the Jacuzzi in the evenings. It really felt like a home away from home. Best of all, the beach was just a short drive away - perfect for sunset visits! We’d love to come back if we’re ever in the area again.

As Advertised and More!!

What can we say about this rental that has not already been said? It is more than advertise. Like lots of folks, I rely mostly on the five star rating and the review comments when choosing a rental. We could not find a single flaw in any of the reviews and that is why we chose this place and it did not disappoint. Ruth has thought of literally everything. We even tried to stump the rental at some point by saying “Surelythey won’t have a juicer.” Well, they had a juicer. Same with a few other unusual kitchen items. She has them all. The house is marvelously appointed and extremely comfortable. We were there for an orchestra audition, and there was plenty of room to make noise and not worry about disturbing the neighbors. The bathrooms were gorgeous, and the bedrooms were wonderful. All of the beds were extremely comfortable. I love that. There is new washer and dryer. We use them very often. Mostly, we spent our time on the back deck by the pool. The pool was beautiful, clean, bug free, and had everything we would want. I never thought I would care about having an outdoor television, but we used it often. The hot tub was wonderful as well. We did not have to worry about heating the pool as the temperature. It was plenty warm enough. The location proximity to the beach was amazing, The beach pass was also a welcome addition, to the state park. The neighborhood itself felt very safe. Lots of families. We never worried at all. Ruth is a fantastic host, in constant communication.

My family and I had the opportunity to rent the Sunshine Daydream & had the absolute best vacation experience! Mrs. Ruth goes above & beyond to accommodate your every need by communication with you before your arrival & during your stay. It is immaculate & private with having quick access to beaches, dining, & shopping. Beach gear/beach towels are provided so all you have to do is unpack your suitcase & have fun!

About the host

Hosted by Ruth Wenzel

Host profile image
My husband David and I are from a Chicago, IL suburb and we are parents to 6 adult children and 7 grandchildren (so far). We didn't travel much when our kids were young, but we started to travel a bit after our youngest went off to college. We vacationed on Vanderbilt Beach a few years ago and fell in love with the area and all the nearby amenities. My husband is nearing retirement and we hope to spend even more time in Florida, so we decided to start looking for our own piece of paradise!

We looked for a condo on the beach that would suit our needs, but would also make a good rental property. We finally found this gem in April 2019!!! We remodeled the unit to update the decor and to make it more comfortable and better able to suit the needs of different rental groups.

After COVID hit in 2020, we decided to add a home in the Naples Park area to our portfolio. We found this remodeled bungalow that is less than a mile from the beach and purchased it in October 2020. Again, we set it up to accommodate either families, several couples, or multi-generation families.

We added a third property - another Naples Park home - in May 2022 and remodeled it to bring it up to our rental standards.

We hope you love spending time at our homes as much as we do!
Ruth and David Wenzel
