Excellent spot!

I appreciate how clean the place was! The location was great in that it’s a nice cheaper alternative to being directly in Naples. We were there for a friend’s wedding so it was a nice quiet location for us. Check in and out were super easy.

Perfect Home

This property was perfect for our 55 and older family. Clean, well stocked, nicely decorated and comfortable is an excellent description. The location was a very short drive to the beach as well as downtown Naples and the historic area. Kim as a host was wonderful. She responded to all questions quickly and made check in and check out a breeze. We would definitely stay there again when visiting Naples.

Quiet and cozy

The house was exactly as listed. Brand new appliances, beautiful bathroom, new towels, bedding and nice furniture. Beach towels and some beach toys were nice to have. Bathroom has a Bluetooth speaker/light/nightlight/fan which is super neat until the kids decide to blast music while I’m in there!! Hahaha The neighborhood is very quiet and safe. Felt extremely comfortable and had a great stay.

About the host

Hosted by Kim Spink

Host profile image
As a resident of Naples since 1986, I have an understanding of the need for safe, comfortable vacation rental housing. My top priority is to provide exceptional accommodations to ensure your stay is a memorable and relaxing experience. I strive to exceed your expectations.

Why they chose this property

It is all about location, location, location! The neighborhood is a quiet, safe, working-class area just 2 miles from the beach and less than that from the shops and dining venues of downtown Naples and the Historic District.

What makes this property unique

I offer superior value for a rental property situated close to the beach.
