About this property

Best of the Best

Beautiful ground floor 2 bedroom and 2 bath condo close to the largest pool in Naples, pickle ball courts, tennis courts, and bocci . Lovely tile floor in the kitchen, dining room, bathrooms and new Bamboo hardwood floors elsewhere. Kitchen bar to sit at for your breakfast and 2 TVs with cable. Winterpark in the high season offers many activities such as yoga, water aerobics, bingo nights, pool parties, cards etc. It is a highly sought after community for buyers and renters.

Since 2020 all new Hurricane impact windows and doors have been installed!! They look beautiful. We've also replaced all appliances. During our most recent stay in 2024 we installed a new shower and vanity in the Primary Bedroom bathroom.

Winterpark is the perfect vacation community. Everyone is very friendly; you can bike throughout the exceptionally well-maintained complex; it is lavishly filled with palm trees and vegetation.

Park right at the door and enter the condo through the screened Lanai where you can enjoy your morning coffee and paper or an evening cocktail with your beloved. Enjoy the new ceiling fan and light for evenings on the lanai.

Close by is shopping on trendy 5th Ave, restaurants, Naples Botanical Gardens, the Naples Zoo, the Everglades for exciting airboat rides, the Gulf coast beaches and the Naples Pier (5 miles away) for watching the sunset. The Publix grocery store and Starbucks are within walking distance and we provide a pull grocery cart for you.

This is the perfect vacation get away and our condo is the perfect place to relax after a day at the pool or a day exploring this rich and welcoming community with sandy beaches and great sunsets. Fill up the Jacuzzi tub and soak for the ultimate in relaxation! Once you've been to Winterpark and Naples you'll want to return again and again as so many do!

Great holiday!

The condo is located in a very nice community. We could enjoy ourselves in spite of the terribly hot weather. It was our first time in Florida in the summer and we were really shocked at the heat. The air conditioning in the condo was a blessing. We had some little issues with the internet and a shower head but Lori was always there to help us solve them. The property is as advertised and it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Our only regret, which is more to do with Naples than the condo itself, was that most of the beach parkings are reserved for residents only, and in the few streets that will allow visitor parking, you must pay U$5 per hour. We didn´t mind that much because we just went to the beach a couple of times as it was so hot, we preferred to enjoy the swimming pool, which was awesome! We would definitely stay again!

Cozy Florida vacation

Everything about our stay was wonderful! The instructions and communication prior to arrival were complete and clear. The property was clean, stocked with basic necessities and Lori went above and beyond… we left a review in her guest book because she had blessed us so much, as a family needing some time away- just what we needed! Definitely recommend. Thanks, Lori!

Fabulous Property and Location

I stayed here 2 months and honestly, this condo is wonderful; beautifully equipped and furnished (the photos really don’t do it justice). I found it very quiet and spent many evenings reading on the lanai. The pool is huge and heated and whilst there were always people to chat to, it was never crowded. Location is ideal, 5 minute drive from downtown with a supermarket and pharmacy minutes away. I hardly drove whilst there and used the bikes provided to get around, it was so easy. The host was great to deal with and without doubt I would stay here again.

Good choice

Well appointed and well stocked spacious condo in a convenient location in Naples. There is a cute little lanai surrounded by foliage that is a great spot for morning coffee. The designated parking spot is located right outside of the condo door. We were impressed with the owners and their quick response to inquiries. The amenities looked great, but due to Covid they were shut down and we were not able to use them. We definitely recommend this rental.

We stayed Dec 2018 and January 2019. Great location close to shopping, restaurants, downtown and the beach. Lots of extras in the unit like bicycles, beach chairs & umbrella, tennis rackets and pool toys. We had a fantastic time and felt at home. Would definitely recommend this property. Great pool a short walk. Owners easy to deal with. Thank you Lori & Bob

Clean and comfortable, well supplied and appointed.

We really enjoyed our month at the condo. We were comfortable in the unit and enjoyed the lanai. It’s a short walk to the pool which is the largest in Naples. The unit is conveniently located within walking distance to groceries and restaurants.It was a short drive to Tin City, 5th Ave, 3rd Street and Naples Pier beach. The owner is helpful, friendly and responds promptly to questions and inquiries.

wonderful holliday

What we want when we are on holidays is to have no cares or worries. That's what this lovely condo in Winter Park meant for us. We like renting places where the owners actually use the property-it means that all different scenarios have been provided for:-beach and pool paraphernalia, bicycles, books, games, internet, cable and Netflix, as well as the basics. The decor is so bright and airy that seeing it every morning when you wake up reminds you that you are on holiday! Put that together with glorious weather and tropical landscaping in a quiet setting, it is so serene. This property was such a good fit for us-we could bicycle on pathways and quiet streets, we could walk through neighbourhoods and get a 'feel' for Naples, we could even walk to the grocery store (what a treat) and we could walk to Bealls-one of my favourite places to shop, although you will buy so much, you won't be able to carry it home!! (We did have access to a car but why drive when you can walk). The huge pool was always so clean and warm-just like pools you encounter in resorts in the Caribbean. You could relax floating on one of the pool noodles provided by Rob & Lori. I took advantage of the yoga and water aerobic classes provided. We even went to Bingo and have NEVER played bingo before but it was a lot of fun-everyone was so helpful and friendly. Visiting the beach was another highlight (parking pass provided-yes!.) Watching the sunset, collecting shells(there is something so calming about this activity), swimming, walking on the pier, seeing dolphins in the water all contributed to our relaxing holiday. We took advantage of Happy Hour deals in Downtown Naples (where all the parking is free-don't you wish that could be everywhere?) and eating alfresco at restaurants-again finding specials. (We loved the outside heaters in case of cool weather and thought how wonderful they would be on our deck at home in Orono, ON, Canada) We would definitely return to this rental and would recommend it to everyone, including families. The only thing that prevents us from spending more time here is our young grandchildren back home. We miss them too much! Thanks Rob & Lori

3 main problems

I rented this condo for the whole of December 2016 There were 3 main problems 1) the condo is on the first floor and there is no sound insulation at all in the building. Obviously the people upstairs don't like having tenants downstairs so made sure I wouldn't get any sleep from 11pm till 3am and this lasted for the first three weeks until I decided to go to a pharmacy and buy some earplugs which made my ears feel funny afterwards. 2)the owner takes advantage of the US dollar going up against the CAD dollar to have the tenant pay for it and automatically takes it out of your deposit. Between the moment you send your international postal order and the day she gets it there maybe about ten days and the exchange rate can have changed in the meantime. When asked if she would have refunded me the difference if the US dollar had gone down there was no reply. 3) the phrasing of the ad itself is ambiguous it says "additional info about fees" when it should simply be "additional fees" which in fact amount to half as much of the rent itself and which come on top of it; I had to e-mail twice to get that clarification. This was my first experience of renting a condo and I couldn't possibly recommand it but I loved Naples.

Amazing Place

My wife and I stayed here for a month in mid September and I cannot tell you what a lovely stay it was her. The owners were extremely accommodating, hospitable and extremely helpful. The unit was immaculate, all the amenities that you could ask for and more, especially having use of the beach gear and the bikes, wow, really a nice touch. Everything in the unit was where it needed to be and then some. The communication was excellent and responses were extremely prompt making the rental process and experience seamless and reassuring. This was the second time for us at this complex and the first time with these lovely owners and hoping to have many more occasions in the future. My wife and I are also extremely enamored of Naples and especially with all the great people we have befriended at this complex, always a smile, a wave and many great conversations in and around the beautiful pool. The weather of course is marvelous, plenty of beaches to access and day trips to experience. The only down side was us having to leave eventually, if you would like to experience the beauty and serenity of Naples then this place is a great retreat and the owners make it really feel like home, thanks so much for allowing us to stay here and for being such gracious hosts.

Bob and I ( Lori) welcome you to our condo. We live in Canada and have one grown daughter, and Bentley our grand doggy. Lori is a retired minister and Bob has retired from his career and now works part time at a funeral home. We love Winterpark and know you will too. We bike, swim, play tennis and relax. We enjoy going down to 5th Ave and browsing the stores or eating outdoors in one of the beautiful cafes. Thrift store shopping is a must in Naples since there are so many to shop at and so many good buys!

Why they chose this property

Winterpark is close to so many amenities and things to do like the beach, 5th Ave shopping and dining, Naples Zoo and the Everglades. The condo is close to the pool and tennis, is spacious and well stocked. Naples is a beautiful lavish area. The roads are so well laid out, marked and maintained.

What makes this property unique

Close to pool and tennis, club house, all activities; good area to ride bikes; close to restaurants and pretty well anything you need.
