We had a wonderful stay at The Gilded Palm! I don't think we have ever stayed in a cleaner rental and it was stocked with everything you need and so well organized. They truly treat it as a second home. The location could not be any better if you love spending your days at the beach and nights on 5th Ave. We would highly recommend this property!

The Gilded Palm was the perfect getaway for my partner and me! The location was ideal: just steps from the vibrant hustle and bustle of downtown Naples, yet private and quiet enough to feel truly tranquil. The unit was very clean and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including great beach equipment that made our days by the water even better. We highly recommend this place and look forward to returning!

My wife and I loved our stay at the Gilded Palm. Everything was neatly organized, labeled, and clean. The location is perfect for walking all of 5th Ave in the evening, and quiet leisurely early-morning walks on Gulf Shores Blvd. We love our time here and can't say enough about how wonderful the hosts were! Highly recommend!

The property was conveniently located to the 5th Ave. restaurants, stores, and local amenities. All within a short walk from the condo. The condo was well appointed to take advantage of the beach, i.e. chairs, umbrella, towels, insulated carrier bags, etc. The beach was also only a 4 block walk which made this location well suited for our desires. The condo kitchen was well appointed with all the equipment to cook and eat inhouse. All in all the condo was a well thought out package to accomodate all our needs. Would certianly entertain a return visit.

Beautiful condo just steps away from the great restaurants and shops on 5th Avenue. The condo is clean, thoughtfully furnished and equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen, bathroom and for the beach. We enjoyed leaving our car parked and walking to dinners and to the beach. The host was responsive and a pleasure to communicate with. One thing to note, the bar across the street gets noisy on busy nights.

Gilded Palm Getaway

This was a lovely 1 bedroom stay for us! We loved the location to all of Naples finest shops and restaurants. It was a pleasant walk away from the beach as well. The area offers an abundant amount of activities and beautiful views. The owners had all of the things needed to go to the beach and were helpful if there were any other needs during our visit. We would highly recommend this stay! Can't wait to visit again!

We loved everything about the vacation property. The location is excellent.

The property was very tastefully decorated and included every amenity we would hope for. The location is a half block off of the heart of 5th Avenue South. Our host Kara was amazing and went above and beyond to make everything from our initial reservation to check out super easy and hassle free. We will definitely rent in the future.

Great location! The condo is very clean and nicely decorated. My husband and I had everything we needed for a great vacation with beach chairs, umbrella and towels as well as the pool onsite and a reserved parking place! We walked to the beach, to church, and to lots of great restaurants. We also had perfect weather for our week in February. Our host Kara was easy to communicate with.

Amazing location, Condo was perfect for two

We had an amazing stay at the Gilded Palm, we can't stop talking about it!!! This condo is very welcoming and has all the right touches. The bed, furniture & over all atmosphere are comfortable and inviting. Kara's attention to all the details has you covered: umbrella for rain, umbrella for sun, beach chairs, beach bag, clothes iron and steamer, ice packs in the freezer. Make sure you peek at Kara's map of the area and read through her binder for anything you might need. Books...a wonderful selection just in case you forgot yours or finished it on the beach and need another. The kitchen is well equipped for those days you want to stay in and make a quick lunch or dinner. Water pressure in the shower was great - one thing that I always appreciate! LOCATION... 1 block to 5th Avenue with access to wonderful dining and shops. 4 blocks to the beach!!!! The condo pool and chairs are great as well when you just want to stay close and relax. Book your stay at the Gilded Palm, you will love the beautiful condo and location!

We know Naples very well, this is by far the best area to stay

Unbelievably spotless clean, as if you would stay at the Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton ( but better ). Communication with host was prompt, polite and a delight. They went above and beyond to make sure you find the place easily and open/close the unit with no issues. You won't find a better location in Naples. It is less than a block from 5th which you have everything you need. The dinning choices are endless but all delicious. The shopping is great and THE BEST PART, 4 blocks from the beach! Kara had thought about every single detail! From beach chairs, to a full appointed kitchen and nice gestures such as Pelegrino water. The bed is high-end, from sheets to cover, mattress and pillows, again, better than top hotels in the world. Two TVs, great quality curtains, plushy towels and everything you can think of you could ever need in a bathroom, from body lotion to quality soaps. Again, we need to emphasize how clean her place was. At a price that you can't beat, you will feel right at home and also feel that you are at a 5-star hotel. We will book it every summer. We stay in Naples every year and this was BY FAR the best we had.

A hidden gem! Great location, so bright and clean, and walking distance to 5th Ave S and the beach!

This condo is an amazing find. If you are able to get a booking I suggest you grab it! The location is unbelievable, a minute’s walk to 5th Avenue South with all its shops and restaurants, and a few minutes walk to the most beautiful white sand beach. The condo is very bright, clean and has everything you need. There is a fully equipped kitchen, great washer and dryer, and a very comfortable bed. The owners went above and beyond with their extra touches - welcome water bottles, coffee pods for the Keurig, make up remover pads, and the most luxurious sheets and towels. We felt like we were in a hotel suite! Also there is everything you need for the beach, chairs, towels, umbrella, ice packs and beach bags, even sun tan lotion under the bathroom sink. I read three books at the beach from their extensive book collection - heaven! Everything is very clearly explained in two binders or labeled which we loved. We rented a car and took full advantage of our personal parking spot. Only a few of the twelve condos were occupied (all the people are very friendly) so we felt like we had our own private pool. We stayed the second week in December and the owners made sure to tell us about the Naples Christmas Parade which was spectacular. I cannot say enough about how great this condo and location are. The people in the condo below us have been visiting twice a year for six weeks for many years as they love it so much. We’ve already rebooked for next year!! Thank you Kara and Jeremy for making our vacation so special.
