Retro - Chic Cottage Just 8 Min to 5th Ave & Beach
🌴 BOTANICAL GARDEN VIEWS, NATURE & CALMING VIBES Retreat to Casita Serena, a charming one-bedroom cottage designed for comfort, privacy, and to lower your blood pressure. Recently updated and thoughtfully styled, this home has a bright, cheerful feel the moment you walk in. Playful retro touches, including a vintage-style refrigerator and microwave, give the kitchen personality, while all-new appliances, dishwasher, stove and oven, refrigerator with freezer, plus a washer and dryer, make daily routines convenient. The kitchen is fully equipped with a coffee maker, microwave, and everything you need to cook and enjoy meals at home.
The living space is open and relaxed, with natural light streaming in and highlighting the cottage's warm details and exposed ceiling beams.

Outside, you'll find driveway parking and a lovely garden that extends your living space. The fenced yard is perfect for morning coffee, quiet evenings, or simply enjoying the Florida sunshine.

About the host
Hosted by Rich Townsend
I have been a Realtor since 1979 and have proudly called Naples my paradise home since 1996. Originally from "Michiana" (Northern Indiana/Southern Michigan), I remain a loyal and occasionally heartbroken fan of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish!
I love what I do and take great pride in offering a beautifully maintained, highly sought after guest house. When I am not working, you will find me at the beach, playing tennis or pickleball, or performing with my jazz quartet, RichNaples Jazz. Proud Dad to Rikki and grandfather of two.
