About this property

Serene Waterfalls, Garden, Privacy, Heated Pool, Spa &, Large Two Story Retreat

"Get away from it all!" at this very special property that features serene waterfalls, water gardens, large heated pool. This home is a two story, spacious and well appointed. If you enjoy nature, water gardens, generous heated swimming pool, and a spacious home, then look no further. If you desire privacy away from crowds and want to explore the beauty of your very own water gardens, you may view birds, butterflies, fish, and flowers in abundance right in your own back yard! If, this sounds like a piece of tranquility that your looking for then look no further!

Many upgrades on this split level home. There are exotic rosewood floors throughout the upstairs and travertine tiles. A camera system has been installed, as well as, decorative metal security gate and fence around one acre of the property. A second kitchen has been added to the ground level floor. An outdoor water garden, water features, a 18' x 34' grecian style pool with fountain, a a spa, and a generous paver deck around the pool for entertaining. Many palms, fruit trees, bougainvillea, and flowering bushes adorn the property. This home has six bedrooms, three bathrooms, and two living areas.

This home is ideal for large groups and/or families. Or, if you just want to "get away from it all", this property will give you the privacy you desire, but, still keep you in close proximity of the beach, shopping, restaurants, golfing, and movies. This home is located in a very quiet and ungated community.

I am a regular practitioner of yoga. I have had this house for 12 years and my goal has to make it into a tranquil oasis. It has been important to me to create a blissful and quiet space. I feel this resonates not just within the walls of my home but, beyond to the the spaces of my gardens as well! It has an incredible healing and rejuvenating energy about it.

Not as advertised

Pictures online are very outdated. Yard is very overgrown, water was green, screens were missing in sliding doors, property needs some TLC to bring it up to advertised photos. When we got there, pool was green, AC worked off and on all weekend. Owners were responsive to our calls.it could be a great place, just needs some work

Place needs to he better maintained

Location good. Property is large but needs to be better maintained. Pool was in need of cleaning and water felt slimmy. We did not feel comfortable swimming in it. No shampoo, soap in showers, kleenex and extra toilet paper supplied. While this place is reasonably priced, it needs to be better mainrained.

2025 family vacation!

We stayed with our adult children and their partners and 2 grandchildren. The hosts were very responsive and great to deal with. The family enjoyed the pool the entire week. The house and property were very spacious for all of us.

Misrepresentation of property

The inside of the house was outdated but clean, however, if you use the toilet, you needed to have the plunger ready. I had the master bedroom when I sat on the edge of the bed to take off my shoes. I slid right off that’s how bad the mattress was broken down. No hot water to take a shower. It was muggy and hot when we walked into the house and then we saw a sign, don’t turn the air down the compressor will freeze up and then you will have no air conditioning?? The clothes dryer had barely warm not hot air. It took two hours to dry four shirts. Our main issue was with the outside does not look like the picture listed every flower pot outside had nothing but dead plants in them, The chairs cushions were covered with black mold some chairs were chairs were torn there were chair cushions laying in the dirt. Don't look for that Serene waterfall because it is clogged with muck and the water going around It is stagnant, green, mucky looking moss even the canopy over the chairs was loaded with black mold. The pictures online must be from 20 years ago. We left after two nights. The host gave us back a portion of our money, but we’re still missing 2000.Vrbo will not be responsible so when they say book with confidence BEWARE. I have 20 pictures and videos, but I don’t think I’ll be able to post them here. Anyone interested? Let me know I’ll pass them on.

Everything was as promised. The house worked prefect for us. Very clean, and everything worked perfectly. My only wish was to have some hangers in the closets, but we managed just fine.

Just what we needed!

A great location, beautiful pool, and enough rooms and size to accommodate our large family group of all ages. The pool was a big hit. It was heated and was cleaned during our stay.The house was very clean but could use some minor repairs/updates, nothing major and nothing that would stop us from staying here again. Overall, a great experience!

Serene Waterfalls

We were a football crew of six adults, we liked the close proximity to Paradise Coast Sports complex. We had issues with lightbulbs being out, first floor shower being clogged and a half attached toilet seat (both were fixed but still had a slow drain), and cooking pans and utensils were a smorgasbord of misfits. We were barely there and it served our purpose but we will be looking to stay elsewhere next year.

Seen better days

The property had the allure of faded, in some cases, particularly the gardens and ponds, rotting grandeur. Sorry to say. Positives:Very spacious, lots of rooms, quiet location, good communication from owner, fairly ‘as it looked in the ad’Negatives: Not clean enough, place felt quite grimy, dishes not clean, kitchenware very used (eg Teflon pans scratched, knives with chunks out of the blade, glazed/frosted plasticware glasses - not enough glass ones, dish towels a bit disgusting - washed but one use reactivated grease odour that rained whatever it touched).- Tiles in bathrooms felt very grimy and dirty. Maybe because they were raw rough stone, but didnt feel or look clean at all.Couch cushion upstairs ripped with stuffing coming out. Beds extremely creaky!Stained sheets on two beds downstairs - one quite disgusting- not a great thing to discover when getting into bed in your first night!!- box of mouldy rotting cheese croaissants visible from jacuzzi - which was not filled properly - that slid behind counter overlooked months - weird floodlight on roof of house that flickered as if broken that you could not shut off at night- walls scuffed and grubby- dirty air vents easily noticeable when coming down stairs- climate control set too cold - difficult to change upstairs even with Nest control, slightly unreliable WiFiI could go on. Overall it was way too expensive for what it was.Know what you are getting before you book.

Great location

This house is in a great location and close to a lot. The home has good privacy in a nice neighborhood. The home itself is very outdated and in need of a little cosmetic love. The pool was not heated and had a lot of debris at the bottom. Otherwise, place worked for our group, it was a comfortable stay.

Mixed Experience

I recently stayed at this rental house and had a mixed experience. While the owners were incredibly nice and responsive, there were some issues with the property itself. The pictures provided are about 15-20 years old and did not accurately reflect the current condition of the home, which needs a lot of tender loving care (TLC). Additionally, the property is a 20-minute drive from the beaches, which may be inconvenient for some renters. Overall, the experience was okay, but I would suggest that the owners update the pictures to better represent the property's current state.

Family retreat

The property was great and Melissa is a fantastic communicator. It was obvious that some of the other reviews have been addressed as we could see recent maintenance on the deck. The property outside could benefit from some maintenance but it’s landscaping. The pool was great and the hot tub was a nice place to warm up and hang out.

Presidents weekend Soccer trip

For what we were down here for, the house met our needs. We had 11 people for a youth soccer showcase and it worked out great. Location is central to Bonita Springs and Naples. Plenty of parking for mulitple cars. 1 mile from Publix and other stores. Communication with owner was great and she was very quick to reply. Provided great recommendations as well. The pictures for this are very outdated, especially outside. Needs a good clean up and shrubbery trimmed. We did not use pool or hottub. Inside was ok, faucet handles and some other items need tightened up or repaired. Beds were solid/pillows were good. Downstairs bathroom had an old razor and used shampoo/conditioners. We'd stay here again if were ever in need in this area.

My inlaws and I stayed at this house for an extended family vacation. The location had great access to restaurants and the beach. The pool was beautiful and very family friendly. We had an issue with the TV the host responded within 4 minutes and she had a new TV in the house the next day. We highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Engler

Host profile image
We have lived in Naples, FL for 12 years. We have a fountain company and have four children, two of which are grown. We have done a lot of extensive traveling with our family and when we decided to purchase a different home we decided to rent out our old home to fellow travelers. We have always valued being able to rent homes instead of hotels. There is nothing more comfortable than being able to make your family breakfast in the morning. Or being able to have your own special space when traveling and not feel rushed or in the way.

I have a very strong yoga practice. It has been important to me to create a blissful and quiet space. I feel this resonates not just within the walls of my home but, beyond to the the spaces of my gardens as well!

Why they chose this property

This property, because it was our home, is very special. We have renovated it ourselves, built the pool, water features, and put the gardens in. This is truly a unique property, as, it has been customized for a family in mind. We like our privacy and have tried to landscape in a fashion that gives a person a lot of privacy. We like the location because you truly feel that you are away from it all, but, still can drive within a few minutes to most everything!

What makes this property unique

It is good to be able to be in close proximity of everything but, still feel that you are in your own private oasis. This home gives you a truly unique perspective of Florida living. You can watch butterflies, birds, and see beautiful and unique plants. We boast a large heated swimming pool with a gorgeous water fall. The stunning ponds with the waterfalls and lotus galore! A truly unforgettable retreat!
