Very beautiful house

My parents had recently moved from the area to live closer to me in Tampa. For their 57th anniversary I decided to treat them to a trip down to see their old friends. They had all been vaccinated so we were to gather.

Spacious, clean, great appliances and cookware. Nice TV’s. Property manager so nice and accommodating. We will be back.

This property was great for our family (3 generations). It has several gathering areas and plenty of privacy too. Easy access to Vanderbilt Beach. So many amenities were available. It really made for and easy, relaxing stay. Fenced backyard was great for our dog.

Place was very clean. House is located within two miles of the beach, Mercato and many restaurants. Very quiet neighborhood. Nice outdoor space for coffee or meals. Owner and staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Beautiful area. Residential and very quiet. Close to the beaches and neighborhood stores. It was very relaxing in this amazing well equipped home. This property will accommodate to any size of party, small or large you will be very comfortable.

Very close to great restaurants and beaches. The place was clean and everything worked. We would stay here again.

Joseph was great. Very helpful. Everything went smoothly.

This home was a nice getaway in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed our short time in Naples and will return sometime in near future. Really liked returning to the lanai and back patio after a day of visiting family.

I had read reviews so I new it was a shared property and had no problems with renters in the other units. It's about a 20 minute walk to Vanderbuilt beach.

I've stayed at HomeAway properties many times in the past, but this one was different. They've taken what was a house at one point in time and carved it up into multiple units. If the person renting had control over all three of the units (two on main level and one upstairs), then it would probably have been a better arrangement, but noise from the neighbors made it pretty rough. We had the entire downstairs unit so we didn't have to worry about that, but there was a family with kids above us and every morning they would wake us up at 9 with what sounded like elephants stomping and running across the ceiling above our bedroom. I would send the property manager a message every day, and he said he talked to them, but it never fixed the issue. He said that the "treehouse" upstairs is "highly sought after" so be prepared to deal with this if you stay there. Understand that if you book the lower level, it is more like staying at a hotel, where you have noise from the neighbors intruding on your stay. The above aside, the house was pretty nice and well furnished. The oven was broken so we didn't do much cooking there. There were a few things like missing blinds/curtains that the property manager said was a result of the hurricane and they just hadn't prioritized fixing. Weird setups with the TV where you had to tell it to show you movies before you could see TV shows. Strange stuff like that. Also, I'm not sure if it's a Florida thing, but we had several issues with insects while we were there. Lots of roaches and there were ants coming up out of the floor in one of the bathrooms. Most of the other options that would have fit my family were booked while we were in Naples due to Spring Break, so we made due with this place. It wasn't bad, per se, but it didn't compare to many of our other HomeAway experiences either. That's why I gave it 3 stars.

Good parts were: the house is close to beach and is spacious. But when we reached home in the evening we realized that both cooking range and grill was not working. Being on vacation we were planning to grill for the dinner. Then the assistant of the homeowner came to check and he mentioned that the cooking range was not working for long time and need to be repaired. When we called the owner about this he initially was telling that there are two microwave ovens and tabletop ovens. That is not what we wanted. So he agreed that we buy a tabletop grill and he will reimburse for that. In the middle of the night we had to go to store and bought one (cost was $74). When we were leaving, we asked about reimbursement and he mentioned he will only reimburse half the price, which was total lack of honesty. We felt bad about that. He had also mentioned he will get the grill ready by next day with technician. No technician showed up even the next day. We enjoyed our stay in Naples . But this lack of honesty was totally unexpected. Also the fact that the owner did not bother to take care of basic cooking appliance for several months was also sad.

Based on the price paid for this rental we felt the information provided prior to committing was somewhat misrepresented. We did not realize that the "grand" house was divided into three rentals, our impression was that it was going to be a single family home. Also, our opinion, was that we would be in walking distance to the beach. In reality the beach was either a car ride or bike ride. Also, we were very disappointed, particularly based on the rental cost, in the neighborhood it is located in. We would be more inclined to give a more favorable review if the price was 50% less. Very disappointed in this rental and would not be inclined to recommend or would we trust in renting from this owner going forward.

Overall it is a prety good place to stay, the owner is really nice and always answer the phone right away. I will recommend it to anyone. We accommodate like 15 people. Very nice place!!

Thank you very much Joseph for the hospitality and great service. Your house is in excellent conditions, everything mentioned in the contract was as expected, I really loved the fact that you do care about having good quality of amenities at your house, the sofa beds surpass my expectations, you have memory foam In all of them(2) the beds were very comfortable as well, we had a great time with our family.

We had a great time at Joe's house! It was clean, nice furnishings, great TV with high def, and was very convenient to the beach and shopping and bike rentals. It would be a great place for extended family as there are 3 separate units and all are nice. We will rent there again
