The Vanderbilt Beach area is one of the more desirable areas of Naples, and this home is in the center of the action. It has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a 36-foot-long heated pool and a spa, and is on the waterfront. You may fish off your own private dock, and there are boat slips there, as well, but you have to bring your own boat. The home is furnished, including a fully equipped kitchen. This home has four TVs with DVD players, central heat and air, washer and dryer and wireless Internet access throughout. Shopping is nearby, and two professional-quality golf courses are within five minutes.
A three-bedroom, three-bathroom condo is rented daily or weekly at the Pascoli at Regatta, which is in a high-rise luxury apartment complex at the corner of Vanderbilt Drive and Vanderbilt Beach Road. This condo is on the ninth floor and offers spectacular views of the bay and surrounding area. This is a resort-style complex with a variety of pools, spas and sun decks. The condo has a fully stocked kitchen, laundry facilities, ceiling fans, heat and air conditioning. There are three TVs, all with DVD players. The beach is a short walk away, as are golf courses and shopping.
Naples Bay Resort is on the edge of Naples Bay, and many rooms offer spectacular views of the water. You may choose a two- or three-bedroom cottage, which are also luxuriously appointed. The cottages have dens, stocked kitchens, TVs with DVD players and wireless Internet access. The three-bedroom cottages have 1,900 square feet and the two-bedroom units have 1,700 square feet. Each also has two full bathrooms, a comfortable living room and a large dining room. You will also have full access to all resort amenities, including fitness centers, steam and sauna rooms, pools, hot tubs, lazy river, tennis center and golf courses.
The Ritz-Carlton of Naples has two luxury-type establishments in Naples -- one on Vanderbilt Beach and one at Naples Bay. Both are high-rise buildings and centered around the water and golf. Guests at either location may enjoy both amenities. Villas range from the 1,830-square-foot Presidential villa, to a Coastal or club view room that has more than 400 square feet. All of these villas are outfitted with luxury in mind, with a separate living room area, large dining room and fully equipped kitchen. There are several bars and restaurants to choose from at either location. There is a two-level lobby with areas for relaxation, and a lounge attached.
Naples is the center of Collier County, and as much as 80 percent of the county is public land. There are more than 10 uninterrupted miles of white sand beach along the nearby coast. The Everglades, Big Cypress preserve and Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary are all nearby. The Naples Zoo is also a major attraction, and has been in operation since 1919.
