(Whole House Generator)!! We call our home FloridaSunsation with good reason: Luxury home with designer décor.

Our Villa boasts four bedrooms (two of them suites) + a Home Theater/Media Room/ besides the great room with huge vaulted ceilings, very large kitchen + formal dining area. PRIVATE Heated no chlorine swimming Pool&Spa +Covered Lanai &PRIVATE Garden+fruit trees. All the needed amenities, 3 full bathrooms, washer/dryer room, 2 computers+HighSpeed Internet+Private WIFI, phone with WORLDWIDE long distance, cable+HBO. Every room has large plasma TV/DVD Player. Under 4 miles to the Beach (actual feet in the sand) just 3.2 miles to 5th Avenue South. All else is walk to. Everything provided even beach lounges.
Recent Upgrades:
GREAT ROOM: Professionally decorated opulence and comfort. Armani, Ralph Lauren, Christopher Guy, Maitland Smith, Marge Carson, Theodor Alexander, Century, Baker, Tommy Bahama, Subzero, Wolf, GE Monogram, Swarovski crystal lighting, Waterford antique Crystal accents, Oggetti mouth blown accent lamps imported from Italy, Maxim water crystal entry lighting, tile imported from Spain, Italian imported eco alabaster floors, commissioned paintings, hand blown wall art, estate quality antiques, exotic granite's and marbles, custom made entry medallion, custom made stove wall medallion, and custom lighting, are just some of the names and things adorning our great room. The great room comprises the following areas:
KITCHEN: Two-toned (white uppers with a chocolate glaze and cherry lowers) made on the spot cabinetry. The cabinets were custom made just for us and are extra large and extra tall, this way large bowls etc fit nicely and you are not bent over while cooking. There are no cabinet doors to speak of, mostly very large illuminated drawers; this allows us to get pots etc without having to get on our knees and digging for the pot that is behind the other stuff. Everything is self closing with the expensive American made self closing system, every conceivable insert and option is built into the cabinetry. The cabinets are adorned with solid rubbed bronze pulls and knobs and with exotic granite called TajMahal. It is rare and expensive. The back-splash is imported from Spain, and the cook top focal point was custom made for us in Italy. There is special lighting that illuminates the counter tops (dimmable) and very special Toe Kick lighting that adorns the floor below the cabinetry, and turns on automatically when anyone enters the great room from any location to provide pathway lighting at night. For appliances, we have 48 inch side by side stainless Subzero refrigerator. It is huge and very elite, (we call it the Toyota because installed it costs as much as a car), Double stainless GE Monogram Pro ovens, Wolfe 36 inch glass cook top, Wolfe stainless hood (with a special 1,200 CFM blower installed on the roof so as to keep noise down), Built in plumbed coffee maker that does not require you to add water, custom fully automated Kitchen Aid toaster, German imported handmade Bosh dishwasher (the most quiet dishwasher made, even better and more expensive then a Miele) and a custom made under mount sink and top of the line faucet. The floors are imported from Italy 24 inches wide and installed on the diagonal with minimal grout lines.
There is custom ceiling lighting and a very upscale fan also with incorporated lighting. There is a Pantry that contains all the needed items and also adjacent to the kitchen there is a conveniently located washer and dryer room. The kitchen contains every conceivable cooking utensil needed, fine dishes and glasses, and all the machines such as blenders, chopper, etc. There is also a block containing Henkel chefs’ knives. Everything from the lobster pot to the elite tea kettle, to the sushi or caviar set.
LIVING ROOM: The living room area is also professionally decorated. The seating was custom made of top leather by Century and it is adorned with wonderful pillows. The extra-large coffee table has a display of pottery that includes some amazing art. There is a bust of the Greek Goddess Sophrosyne that was carved in the 1890s and is an estate piece. On the walls there is a very large painting that was commissioned by us from a local Naples Artist. It is called Time Lapse and it is the only one in the world. There are also several pieces of wall art made of hand blown glass, and several mirrors, and a beautifully framed 50 inch 4K Ultra HD 3D TV, that also functions as the second PC screen. Hidden inside the bar there is cable TV with all the channels, free movies, Netflix and more as well as a Blu-Ray player. There are pieces of art and special decorations everywhere and the living room is opulent but comfortable and very relaxed. Special lighting for the living area also and some very special hurricane candle displays by Ralph Lauren, that house electronic candles so realistic most people believe them to be real, including the fact that they are scented. The imported Italian floors continue throughout and there is also a marvelous focal point that was custom built for us in Italy at the front entrance. Above it there is an amazing Maxim water crystal chandelier. There are antiques everywhere including a very cute foot rest that is from the 1940s and a silver tray on the bar that is 200 years old and holds the custom made glasses and carafe for my sherry. The entire place is adorned with extra wide crown molding, and extra tall floor board molding, and there are plant shelf’s decorated with wonderful pottery. Separating the living room from the kitchen is a wonderful and extra wide chef’s table peninsula. It provides seating for 2-3 and can be used to entertain while the chef cooks or simply as a place to do some work, or have a snack.
DINING AREA: The dining area is by Marge Carson and can seat 6 around the very opulent glass and stone table. In the display cabinet you will find crystal and antique china. Above the dining table there is a magnificent Swarovski crystal chandelier. Adjacent there is a bar area that allows for convenient passing of food to and from the kitchen and has seating for 3 on the very opulent Marge Carson bar stools. Above it there are 3 Oggetti pendants that were made of mouth blown glass in Venice Italy.
HOME THEATER/MEDIA ROOM: We have a small Home Theater/Media Room with a huge 85 inch 3D HD Ultra Smart screen, with free Netflix, free movies on demand, free full cable package including the overseas channels for soccer etc, free Spotify music, free Hulu ,earth shaking SONOS 5.1 Surround sound with Sub-woofer, special lighting, and a very fast gaming computer (one of 2 in the home) connected to the internet via our ultra fast broadband connection. The computer not only has all the common software and lots of gaming facilities but it also has the entire Microsoft suite of common business software. From it you can check your email, and conduct normal business, as it is also connected wirelessly to the homes integrated network printer/fax/copier. Also in the home theater you will find a Blu-Ray player (also internet ready) and connected to the network, and a nice collection of videos including some in 3D. For gaming the Home Theater also includes an Xbox1 gaming console and a WII gaming system with ALL the attachments. Finally in the Home theater there are all kinds of 'old school' games such as chess, cards etc. The very comfortable seating can actually convert to a queen size bed, and kids love to spend the night there.

Then there's the rest of the house, with two suites, the amazing Pool&Spa area, the gardens and the amazing outdoor lighting. Not enough space to say all there is to say about all that.

Two weeks in March
Beautiful furniture, best equipped kitchen, every appliance you could possibly want. But left out of the information is the family that owns the property must all be very tall. The kitchen counters are not standard height; they are at least 6 inches higher than standard. Marvelous for tall people- no aching backs, but difficult for short people like me. They do provide stepstools (in the garage) and I also needed one to get into the very high bed in the master bedroom. The rest of the beds are regular height.

Great Home
We had a great trip because we had a great place to stay. Home was everything that was promised. The host was easy to contact and very willing to accommodate us. Took us a little while to figure out the lights but the complete kitchen allowed us to cook as needed. We were in town to visit parents and spent most of our days elsewhere but really looked forward to coming back to the very private pool and hot tub. Will definitely rent again.

Relaxation in Naples
This house has everything you need in the kitchen and in the private pool area. The house furniture and decorating is gorgeous! And it even gets better. If you have guests stay with you they have quiet private suites. The zoo, Naples garden, and many hiking trails are close by. Try the Local restaurant (farm to table) and Fernando the bull for great Cuban food. Paul snd his wife are available for all your questions. Just a delightful experience overall.

Great house and pool!
The house was very clen and spacious the large master bedroom with large bathroom is on one side of the house. The other bedrooms are on the other side. This worked out great for use plenty of room. Great location within walking distance to the private beach access. Just a short drive to stores and restaurants. The screened-in pool and hot tub is wonderful. A lot of space very relaxing.

Beautiful fully stocked home
This house was not your normal VRBO. It was luxurious and fully stocked with everything you could possibly want or imagine. The lanai and pool were so very nice and we enjoyed them immensely. The owner gave clear directions about everything and worked with us when we had delays in our booking- he was so kind. We were a group of four teachers and we were in the area for professional development- this was a breath of fresh air for us!

We spent Christmas at this property and enjoyed it immensly! The contact with the owner was informative and pleasent right from the start. Paul really went above and beyond to inform us about the house and Naples and we felt really welcome! The house really is something you must see to believe. The pool area is amazing and the whole family spent hours there just enjoying life! The cloudy weather didn't even matter! It was our first time at this house and in Naples but I am sure we will come back again! We loved it!

Thank you Paul for allowing us to stay in your amazing villa. We have stayed in Naples villas several times before, but never in one so well equipped and so luxurious. The pool and spa are fantastic and having two master suites was really great. Paul the owner is really friendly and always available, and Dari the manager was so helpful. We had a fantastic time and will be back again soon. P and C

Superb! Very tastefully designed, as well as cozy! Excellent location and friendly neighborhood.
The property is truly a loving and lovely home. So well taken care of and comfy living with a beautifully maintained living space, pool and spa. The owners are wonderful to work with, very informative and available when needed. We brought our bikes and enjoyed cycling the friendly neighborhood and easily accessible walking/bike trail. We, the two of us, would love to return but next time with our grown children and grandchildren, as the home is so spacious and welcoming! We had a marvelous time and even requested to extend our stay and didn't want to leave; it truly felt like our home away from home!

My son spent hours in "his room" which was packed with toys. Can't say enough about this place. Spotless!!!

WOWWOWWOW
This house is beyond beautiful. Decorated with elegance. Everything you could possibly need is there for you. It is very close to shopping, the beach, cultural events, etc. This is a "house, not your typical vrbo rental property. The owners are frequently in attendance and maintain the home to the ultimate highest standard. We spoke several times with mostly Paul, and once with Dagmar. They are the nicest most caring human beings who will go out of their way to assist with with anything regarding your vacation (including once when my rental car had a tire issue). We REALLY wanted a very quiet, private, upscale, and secure home in the Naples area. We will be talking with the owners very soon to book again for next year. All I can say is WOW to the bingalow.

Fabulous week at this Naples Villa
My family and I have just returned from a fabulous week at the Naples Villa, we consisted of myself, wife, daughter, son in law and our three grandchildren ages 6 - 11years, the villa and pool area were fantastic and there was more than enough room to accommodate our party. The villa is situated close to all amenities and you can be at the beach in around 5 minutes, but the best part is after visiting the beach or one of Naples other attractions to come back to the villa and relax at the beautiful pool area which gets the sun all day and to make the most of the luxurious accommodation, it really is home from home. Our grandchildren voted it their no1 holiday accommodation and I think I have to agree with them fully. Eddie Malinowski

We loved the pool and whirlpool, of course
We can't thank you enough for allowing us to rent your beautiful home in Naples. It is everything you described and more. The decorating and furnishing are very appealing and of high quality.‏ We loved the pool and whirlpool, of course....:). I admired how clean and well kept it is. Yes, the pool man came twice as you said he would. Everything is most enjoyable! It was so convenient having the computer, ready to go. We used it to catch up on a few things at home, but didn't want to take much time from the luxuries of your place, and all of Naples. Thank you again---should we go to Naples again, you will hear from us! Thank you....we couldn't have asked for better accommodations! Barb

Paradise Retreat
We had a lot of communication with Paul, the owner, previous to check in. This helped everything run smoothly. He is also very knowledgeable of the area and offered great suggestions of activities. He went out of his way to check on us to make sure we were comfortable once we checked in as well. The house is very beautiful and has everything you could possibly need, including things to take to the beach. We had a former chef amongst our group and he loved the gourmet kitchen. Our favorite place to spend our time when staying in, was the enchanting pool area/lanai. The entire space is surrounded by a tropical garden complete with flowers and butterflies. It is very private and quiet. There is a nice grill and seating as well. The layout of the house worked really well for us. We had two families and loved how there were two owner’s suites on opposite sides of the house. Each had direct access to the pool/lanai area. The house is nicely decorated which adds to ambiance. There was a large grocery store, restaurants and Starbucks just minutes away. Getting to the beaches was easy. We had a nice stay and would love to stay there again when we return to Naples.

Christi H., Where do you live?

Beautiful home, fabulous kitchen with everything you'd need and more!
We just returned from four days at Paul and Dagmar's lovely home and we miss it already. It was exactly as described and we couldn't have been more pleased. We had our two children with us and the pool, spa, and theater room were so nice that they didn't want to leave the house. The children slept in the bedroom which has two sets of bunk beds and were thrilled that each bunk had it's own tv, dvd player, and headphones. The theater room has a very nice selections of movies and games and a comfy leather sofa, and is where the kids spent most of their time. The kitchen was outstanding. The drawers are actually lighted, which was something I hadn't seen before and really appreciated. Every type of utensil, dish, or appliance you could dream of using was provided, as well as a huge selection of spices. The pantry was stocked with a bit of everything you'd need to get started - much more than I've ever seen at any other rental. A gourmet cook would feel right at home. Love, love, love that kitchen! The garage is also stocked with plenty of stuff for beach trips - umbrellas, chairs, bags, kickboards,toys for the kids. The beach was very nice as well and the kids found tons of large shells. We expected crowds, since it was a very nice day, but found none. We really enjoyed the beach experience much more than we ever have anywhere else. I would love to return without the children, to really put that gourmet kitchen to good use! Honestly, I'm pretty picky and I have no complaints - unless it is that the place was too nice for the children! :-) Fabulous place and I'm so glad we chose it for our stay. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. It really made our trip perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Paul

Host profile image
I was born in Portugal but grew up in the US as an American citizen. My wife also came from Europe as she was born in Germany. Our son was born in the USA. That is my lovely wife Dagmar and my son Jason in the picture. We also have a lovely little place in Algarve Portugal but it is very far away so we don't go as often as we would like. Our Florida home is beautiful but unfortunately we can only be there a few weeks each year or less. It is a shame that such a wonderful place sits empty much of the time so we decided that we would let some nice folks like you use it while we are not there. You get a great place to stay at a fair price and we get some money to help with the expenses. We have recently upgraded the home again! Some of the designer names you will find in our home include, Ralph Lauren, Armani Casa, Theodore Alexander, Maitland Smith, Christopher Guy, Marge Carson, Century custom made Top leather seating, Baker, Robb & Stucky and more. There is crystal by Swarovski, Waterford, and Mouth blown Italian crystal. The lighting both inside and out was done by a famous lighting artist. And on and on…
Be careful of homeowners who 'reed the meter' on how much energy you can use. Imagine having to scrimp on pool heat or AC on your holiday. Make sure that you ask to see the owners Florida Tax certificate if they charged you tax. If they don’t have one then they are just charging you but not paying the tax. Make sure you get a rental agreement spelling out exactly what you get and what is expected of both parties. Make sure there is a local property manager who can resolve any issues. What if the AC stops working? What if there is a leak? When we decided to buy a vacation home in Florida we had many choices. We have friends who live in Florida on both coasts so we explored all the possibilities. I visited 236 properties on both coasts before we decided on our home. We wanted something special and a home we could be proud of but we also wanted a great deal.

Why they chose this property

No other place on earth makes us feel as relaxed and as happy with the single exception of Hawaii. For us the Gulf waters are warmer and cleaner then the waters on the east coast of Florida and Naples is very up-scale and always lovely manicured. Living in NY we truly appreciate the contrast. Our private community is lovely and highly manicured and it has amazing club house facilities and wonderful places to jog or ride a bike. We looked at houses in many Naples communities. Because we knew we wanted to be able to rent our property to short term guests we had to discover the private communities that allowed short term rentals. Basically if you want a great private community with club house facilities very close to the beach ours beats all the others hands down.
Briarwood, Lely and ours are the only 3 private communities that offer clubhouse facilities that allow rentals for a period of less than a month LEGALLY and are within less than 10 miles from downtown Naples and the beach. All 3 communities are lovely and all of them have wonderful homes. Avoid Condos if you have children with you, kids want to play around the pool and local retirees can get very nasty when their bliss is disturbed. Lely offers wonderful world class Golf. That is its main benefit. It also has a great Players club that may or may not be included in your rental. It is however much farther from the beach and downtown than the others. Briarwood is not too far from downtown although you do have to drive around the airport to get there. It has a very minimal clubhouse with almost no services but it has the pizazz of having a guard 24/7, mostly for show as Naples is very safe. Homes in Briarwood near the Livingston Highway wall are very noisy day and night.
NAPLES IS WONDERFUL, you deserve a great holiday. Have the best holiday ever!!

What makes this property unique

Our home is truly custom made. After we purchased it we had a substantial portion of it demolished and we extended it to include 2 very large Master Bedroom Suites, both opening to the custom made pool and lanai area and each on opposite sides of the house. This makes our home perfect for 2 couples or extended family and nobody gets the lesser room. Then because we have Jason we built a custom made kids/teens room, with very colorful beds, and each bed has it own personal TV and DVD player with game console and personal head phones. Our pool and garden area are professionally maintained by a landscaping architect not just a lawn cutting company. He insures our place always looks beautiful, that the fruit trees (many) are properly trimmed and that there is never a blade of grass out of place. We are just 3 miles to 5th avenue south and less than 4 miles to the beach. We knew we needed to be close to the sea because I love boating and it was only a matter of time before we purchased a great boat in Naples. We did and we purchased a Marina slip right on 5th avenue in Naples Bay next to Tin City only 3 miles away. We have a great property manager (and good friend) who looks after our guests. We all want to make sure our guests have the “best holiday ever” and we take great pride in how well we take care of them. Dari is always available to help setup a golf excursion, a trip to the Everglades, or simply to deal with any property related issues. We rent our home exactly as we like it for ourselves. We have 1,000 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets, fine crystal, and all the comforts of home including an extremely well equipped kitchen.Being originally from Europe our home has a European flare such as for example a bidet in the master bathroom. We have everything such as golf clubs (his and her) tennis equipment, beach gear, high chairs for kids, and strollers for little ones (my sisters have 6 little ones), and a lot more. Our home is wonderful. Cheers.
