Tin City is just 7 blocks away and offers a casual waterfront shopping mall that exudes old Florida charm. Bayfront is across the street from Tin City and offers even more restaurants and shopping. You'll never grow bored in downtown Naples!

REVIEWS: We know how helpful reviews can be. We've felt the same way when traveling. Please know that our property has been hosting guests for 20 years, and many of them are repeat guests. Previously managed by a local real estate firm, there are no reviews from those 20 years as that firm was a bit more "old-school". In addition, we became the new owners of this lovely property during the summer of 2021. We have cleaned it top to bottom, repainted, new air conditioner & water heater & washer/dryer, and we totally refurnished & redecorated the unit. The linens are all new, the bedding, the dishes & glassware, even the beach chairs! If you decide to stay at our property you'll find a meticulously cared for condo with a fun, beachy vibe in a perfect location. Additionally, the two condo buildings were repainted and reroofed in Fall 2023 and offer a fresh coastal vibe.

We loved everything about the vacation property. The location is excellent.

The property was very tastefully decorated and included every amenity we would hope for. The location is a half block off of the heart of 5th Avenue South. Our host Kara was amazing and went above and beyond to make everything from our initial reservation to check out super easy and hassle free. We will definitely rent in the future.

Great Experience!

What a great condo! Perfect location less than a block to Fifth Avenue and a short walk to the beach. Condo has everything you need for stay. We've stayed at a lot of places but Kara's place was the best for having everything you may need/want during a stay. And, it was well marked so you didn't have to hunt for anything! Condo was super clean and very comfortable. We can't wait to stay there again!

A hidden gem! Great location, so bright and clean, and walking distance to 5th Ave S and the beach!

This condo is an amazing find. If you are able to get a booking I suggest you grab it! The location is unbelievable, a minute’s walk to 5th Avenue South with all its shops and restaurants, and a few minutes walk to the most beautiful white sand beach. The condo is very bright, clean and has everything you need. There is a fully equipped kitchen, great washer and dryer, and a very comfortable bed. The owners went above and beyond with their extra touches - welcome water bottles, coffee pods for the Keurig, make up remover pads, and the most luxurious sheets and towels. We felt like we were in a hotel suite! Also there is everything you need for the beach, chairs, towels, umbrella, ice packs and beach bags, even sun tan lotion under the bathroom sink. I read three books at the beach from their extensive book collection - heaven! Everything is very clearly explained in two binders or labeled which we loved. We rented a car and took full advantage of our personal parking spot. Only a few of the twelve condos were occupied (all the people are very friendly) so we felt like we had our own private pool. We stayed the second week in December and the owners made sure to tell us about the Naples Christmas Parade which was spectacular. I cannot say enough about how great this condo and location are. The people in the condo below us have been visiting twice a year for six weeks for many years as they love it so much. We’ve already rebooked for next year!! Thank you Kara and Jeremy for making our vacation so special.

Gilded Palm Getaway

This was a lovely 1 bedroom stay for us! We loved the location to all of Naples finest shops and restaurants. It was a pleasant walk away from the beach as well. The area offers an abundant amount of activities and beautiful views. The owners had all of the things needed to go to the beach and were helpful if there were any other needs during our visit. We would highly recommend this stay! Can't wait to visit again!

It's located just a 1/2 block to 5th Ave S and a short stroll to 3rd St and the beach. Communicating with Kara is easy. Condo is exactly as pictured. The bed is so comfortable.

We know Naples very well, this is by far the best area to stay

Unbelievably spotless clean, as if you would stay at the Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton ( but better ). Communication with host was prompt, polite and a delight. They went above and beyond to make sure you find the place easily and open/close the unit with no issues. You won't find a better location in Naples. It is less than a block from 5th which you have everything you need. The dinning choices are endless but all delicious. The shopping is great and THE BEST PART, 4 blocks from the beach! Kara had thought about every single detail! From beach chairs, to a full appointed kitchen and nice gestures such as Pelegrino water. The bed is high-end, from sheets to cover, mattress and pillows, again, better than top hotels in the world. Two TVs, great quality curtains, plushy towels and everything you can think of you could ever need in a bathroom, from body lotion to quality soaps. Again, we need to emphasize how clean her place was. At a price that you can't beat, you will feel right at home and also feel that you are at a 5-star hotel. We will book it every summer. We stay in Naples every year and this was BY FAR the best we had.

Warm and sunny getaway! Great location

We stayed for a week in April. The weather was beautiful, sunny and mid 80’s. Condo is well appointed and conveniently located near shops, restaurants and the beach. Hosts are attentive to details. Condo was clean and welcoming. Loved reading the books set aside for our enjoyment (beach home history, sea shells, novels, etc) So nice to have a washer and dryer for our convenience located inside the condo. Nice clean kitchen and bathroom. Host does fantastic job providing information regarding everything in the condo and what to do in the area. We enjoyed the pool. Water was comfortably warm. Loved shopping and dining out. Spent a day boating and shelling. Great getaway. Highly recommend this host!

Great location. Excellent couples' retreat in paradise!

The Gilded Palm was a wonderful get-away spot for myself and my husband. Located one block off of 5th Ave South in downtown Naples, everything you could want for a great vacation is within walking distance. It came fully stocked with many amenities including a washer/dryer, travel sized toiletries, steamer, kitchenwares and more. We especially appreciated that it came with all of the essentials for a perfect beach day including chairs, an umbrella, a cooler, a beach bag and beach towels. The property managers truly thought of everything you could possibly need to enjoy your vacation. They were easy to reach if we had any questions. This boutique condo also has a private pool which we enjoyed sitting by one of the days of our stay. We hope to stay again and would highly recommend to others looking for a fun and relaxing getaway.

Amazing location, Condo was perfect for two

We had an amazing stay at the Gilded Palm, we can't stop talking about it!!! This condo is very welcoming and has all the right touches. The bed, furniture & over all atmosphere are comfortable and inviting. Kara's attention to all the details has you covered: umbrella for rain, umbrella for sun, beach chairs, beach bag, clothes iron and steamer, ice packs in the freezer. Make sure you peek at Kara's map of the area and read through her binder for anything you might need. Books...a wonderful selection just in case you forgot yours or finished it on the beach and need another. The kitchen is well equipped for those days you want to stay in and make a quick lunch or dinner. Water pressure in the shower was great - one thing that I always appreciate! LOCATION... 1 block to 5th Avenue with access to wonderful dining and shops. 4 blocks to the beach!!!! The condo pool and chairs are great as well when you just want to stay close and relax. Book your stay at the Gilded Palm, you will love the beautiful condo and location!

About the host

Hosted by Kara & Jeremy Eisenga

We are so delighted that you are considering spending your vacation at The Gilded Palm. We purchased this property in 2021 but it has been hosting Naples vacationers (many of them repeat guests for multiple weeks at a time) since 2001! We have given it a new look & a new name. The Gilded Palm - inspired by the lush foliage that surrounds the property and the golden touches throughout. We hope you'll find it a comfortable, fun and relaxing place to stay.

We live here in Naples ourselves and just love the lifestyle our beautiful community offers. When we were first married, we would take beach vacations to get away from snowy & cold winter weather. We told ourselves that someday we would live somewhere warm in our retirement. In 2013 we decided - why wait?!

Kara is a local Realtor and Jeremy is a web-developer. We have three children who are now all college or high-school age. In our spare time we love boating, dining out, traveling and golf.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location! You cannot beat the proximity of The Gilded Palm to the heart of 5th Ave S! There are 30 restaurants stretched across 6 blocks of 5th Ave & many more a short drive away. The beach access is just 4 blocks away and the condo comes equipped with all the fun stuff you need for a great beach day. There's a heated pool on property shared by just 12 units. When you stay near 5th Avenue it's easy to remember you're on vacation and let the rest of life fade away while you relax and recharge.

What makes this property unique

We think the location of The Gilded Palm within the condo complex (2 buildings total, 6 units in each) is top-notch. It's a top (2nd) floor end-unit, which means more windows and more light getting in each one. The path to trash cans and air conditioner units is located on the other end of the building making this unit more private. Furnishings & decor were thoughtfully selected to provide a trendy, coastal vibe and to keep the rooms light and airy - the whole space feels very open and inviting. Our goal is to provide a property that gives you room to settle in and have space for your own unique vacation needs. We have reclining backpack-style beach chairs, umbrella, insulated cooler, beach towels & a tote bag to make your beach days extra easy. Bathroom offers hairdryer, quality bath towels, ample countertop space & plenty of drawer storage. Kitchen is stocked with pretty much anything you'd require to cook a meal or bake something "at home". In addition, you'll find a Keurig coffee maker, bar supplies & ice bucket, and much more. We have additional conveniences like an iron & ironing board, clothing steamer, sewing kit, basic cleaning supplies, laundry & dish detergent and more. Last but certainly not least, The Gilded Palm is CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN!
