** THE INTERIOR **
As you step onto the front screened sitting porch, you're greeted by over 3,000 square feet of open-concept living space. The expansive kitchen and dining area boast modern amenities and more. Take a peek at the kitchen pics to see the variety of small appliances that will delight the inner chef in you.

Get cozy on the oversized sectional couch and indulge in the 77" Roku ready TV. Can't find anything to watch? Check out our selection of over 100 DVDs. Open access to the pool and sunning deck areas enhances the relaxation. For quieter moments, retreat to the library/office and peruse the shelves for a good read. A laptop, printer, and office supplies are on hand for those who can't completely escape the work flow.

2 full suites, located at opposite ends of the home, open into the 1,200 square foot enclosed pool cage, featuring a heated 12 x 36 foot pool and multiple seating/dining areas. The third bedroom opens onto the paved side patio, while the fourth bedroom has access to the screened front porch. All bedrooms are furnished with king-size beds topped with 4" memory gel toppers, and any or all rooms can be converted to twins for those with individual sleeping requirements (perfect for bigger golfing groups!). Each bedroom also includes a Roku-ready TV. Additionally, the home offers 4 twin-size sleeper sofas, 4 oversized couches, and multiple air mattress sizes from twin to king, as well as 2 specially designed toddler air mattresses and 3 Pack 'n Plays, providing accommodations for additional sleepers of all ages.

We've got kids covered with fun activities for all ages. The colorful, fully-stocked kids playroom will keep the youngsters entertained for hours. For the older kids (ages 8 to 98), we offer a game room packed with electronic basketball, foosball, air hockey, ping pong, dart board, chalk wall, wet bar, popcorn machine, cotton candy machine, karaoke, TV, game/poker table, and over 50 board games, just to name a few options.

:: THE EXTERIOR/GROUNDS ::
Step through any of the 4 French doors onto 1,200 square feet of private enclosed outdoor living space, free from bugs. Look out beyond the arched windowed walls into a wooded paradise -here, you'll find no noisy (or nosy) neighbors.

Take a dip in the 12'x36' heated pool, complete w/toys for added fun. Work on your tan on the large sunning deck or enjoy the shade under the giant Sunbrella retractable awning, all while watching the game or music videos on the 55" poolside TV. When hunger strikes, fire up either the propane grill or Blackstone flat top for a family meal (yup, there's both!).

After lunch, head to the north side of the home for some old-fashioned swinging, sandcastle building with the kids on the "sand beach," or simply relax on the large paved side patio while safely watching the kids be kids. (Don't forget, the Blackstone Grill is located here too!) Take a leisurely hike on our private walking paths and explore the Florida exotics along the way.

As night falls, the light show begins. Whether you're in the pool or beside it, you can quietly listen to the wildlife under the canopy of lights in the enclosed bug-free private environment. After enjoying the paved fire ring and roasting a few marshmallows with the kids, send them off to play in one of the great playrooms while you enjoy a cocktail. You've earned it!

We're conveniently located near multiple golf courses, restaurants, grocery stores, and shopping centers. A paved walking trail and citrus u-pick farm are also within walking distance.

Our home is self-managed, ensuring you always have direct contact with the owners. You'll receive your own personal access code, eliminating the need for keys or dealing with leasing agents. We refer to ourselves as 'The Front Desk' and will personally meet and greet you upon check-in. We'll provide a quick tour and highlight the home and grounds, and answer any questions or concerns you may have upon your arrival.

We have our own housekeeping and caretaking staff, and either a member of our team or your hosts will be on the grounds during your stay. This ensures that we're available immediately if any problems arise, with qualified individuals ready to assist and remedy any issues at a moment's notice.

Amazing vacation!
My husband and I have brought our children and grandchildren on multiple vacations in Naples area. This house is perfect, and Jan could not be more accommodating! From pre planning discussions on children sleeping arrangements, to questions during the stay, to follow up after check out, Jan is wonderful. She makes sure that you have everything you need, and promptly responds to questions. The entire family throughly enjoyed our time. Close enough to get to the beach, or grab a coffee quick, but far enough from the hustle bustle that you can enjoy the peacefulness of a campfire with marshmallows. The playroom is a God send. The younger kids could always be found in the playroom, the older kids (and a lot of time dads too) could be found in The game room. So much to do! The set up of the house, with lots of seating, allows for family meals to be enjoyed together. We absolutely plan on staying again. This house is everything it boasts about and so much more! If you are looking for a fun filled vacation without any hassles, Jan will make sure you are taken care of before, during, and after your stay! Perfection!

Great fun in the Sun!!
We had a party of 12 - 7 adults and 5 children ranging in age from 3 to 78. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and lots activities and games for the group. The pool area was wonderful, warm and a perfect place for everyone to bask in the sun and watch the kids playing with all of the toys provided. It was like going to a toy store. Jan provided many extras for us to enjoy. The s'mores were a big hit. We would come again.

About the host

Hosted by jan shipley

Host profile image
This is our family vacation home as well & we take great pride in keeping it up to date, maintained, clean & packed with amenities. You will be cared for AS FAMILY by the OWNERS from the moment of initial contact. We are not just another faceless management company and we always adhere to our own high standards when guests trust us with their vacation time & dollars. We enjoy hosting and have made real relationships through the years with folks who have continued to return to our home time & again. We are not a 'back-alley' short term rental operation.  And your safety is a priority to us.  Maintenance issues DO NOT go unnoticed or neglected.  And we rely on our guests to help keep us informed of any issues of concern so we may get right to them.  From hard-wired smoke/carbon detectors thru-out the home, an on-the-ready fire extinguisher, exterior cameras on the property, to a full-house alarm system if you choose to activate. The county acknowledges us, we collect & pay the required taxes and our neighbors support, look out for & generally like to see the home stay filled with amazing families such as yours enjoying their 'much looked forward to' vacations. That being said, it would be our pleasure to host you and your guests as well. Thank you for taking a look at our home. Take care & stay safe out there.

Why they chose this property

"Don't touch that!" A parents famous last words. But who wants to hear/play that during a long anticipated, much needed family vacation. We got ya. You won't find any white furniture here! (Oh- and you can bring along your 4-legged furry kids as well.) Sitting on 1.5 acres of isolation from the hustle & bustle of the city the entire family can enjoy 1200+ s/f fully enclosed 12 x 36 heated pool, the 'sand' play beach, wooden swings & when night time falls the cozy paved fire pit for s'mores & story sharing. Upon entering the interior, guests will be delighted in the open concept layout of the main rooms.  It's 'family time ' after all & where all those activities melt seamlessly into one another. And as the days wind down private bedroom wings anxiously await your slumber. As night falls, retire to one of the 4 bedrooms.  2 main suites at opposite rear ends of the home each opening onto poolside. Each suite houses a king size bed (all beds in the home have 4" memory foam toppers & further break down to twins accommodating different guest needs).   Suite #1 features 55" tv, jacuzzi tub, dual sinks, walk in shower & separate toilet room.   Suite #2 offers an additional couch for sleeping, walk in shower, separate toilet room & houses the washer/dryer closet.
Moving to the front wing of the home bed #3 houses a king bed & private patio w/screen door allowing one to enjoy fresh air & palm trees.  While bed #4 opens onto the front screened porch & features a colorful large dressing room & king sized bed. A common sitting area & 3rd bathroom w/walk in shower completes this wing. For additional sleeping, sofa sleepers, couches & air mattresses are avbl. Head into the sunshine you'll find multiple seating areas poolside along w/retractable Sunbrella awning, 55" TV,  propane grill, overflowing pool toy box & lounge chairs to work on your FL tan. Practice chipping w/the floating golf mat or net (don't worry - special foam golf balls keep us all friends.)

What makes this property unique

The kitchen comes fully stocked & well-equipped..  We've tried to anticipate any needs a 'home chef' might have from large appliances to small.  Pots, pans, baking & doo-dads.  We've packed it in trying to keep life simple as possible.  You're on vacation after all... And for those nights 'eating out'- the pool deck grill, utensils & outdoor dishes await your culinary delights. (Did we mention there is a Blackstone grill on the side patio as well??) A highchair & multiple booster chairs are also avbl for our youngest guests (as well as 3 PlayPaks & swing). Just off the LR sits the colorful kids play room.  We've filled it with books, games & toys that you WON'T find at the local Wal-Mart, letting that imagination run wild. (And an ever-helpful baby monitor so mom/dad can relax at ease w/those much-earned chilled glasses of wine).
And for the older 'kids', check out the game room off the office/library.  Foosball, basketball, air hockey, putting green, darts, board games galore, chalk wall, karaoke, poker table & wet bar. The list goes on & on... (Did we mention the theater popcorn machine, cotton candy maker or ice cream soft serve.) Yup. It's all there too. Whew! Now you just might need a quiet breather, right? Pop back into the library for a great vacation read or oversized tabletop picture book sure to delight the senses & hey, maybe you'll even learn something you hadn't known already. And don't forget- morning coffee is that much better on the enclosed front screen porch while the 'exhausted' family slumbers peacefully away ~ (shhhhh.....) Or head out onto our private walking paths winding thru the property, enjoying the sweet morning Florida air & exotic tropicals along the route. When all pruned up from swimming all day - send 'em out to play in our oversized sand 'beach' area. Take a ride on our wooden swings or play with one of the multiple outdoor game sets just waiting to test your skills & competition.
