Amazing Week

My husband and our three kids (9,7 and 5) stayed here for the week, and had an amazing time! The house was very clean, the kids loved the pool, and the owners were great. We loved the proximity to the beach, and walked there almost daily with the children. We can’t wait to return!

Great location and home

Everything about the house was fantastic. We stay in Naples Park every year when we visit. We loved the location. The house was clean and there was great communication with the owners. The one item we would suggest is updating pictures, a cage has been added which is great for bugs, etc. but it does cut into the sun you get. We were slightly disappointed (primarily because we weren't expecting it) but still give the house 5 stars. It was really nice to have kids toys, pack n play, etc. for our two year. There were also ample pool toys for him to enjoy. Beds were comfortable as well. We would stay here again if available.

Even better than expected

We stayed with 2 young children and older family member who ended up joining us while one of us needed to attend a conference at the Ritz nearby. It worked out perfectly for this and everyone of all ages had a great time. The pool was a bonus! We could tell the home was recently remodeled throughout. We walked to the beach several times. We had everything we needed from a pack and play to kitchenware. One stop to nearby whole foods and we were all set! Location could not have been better

Quick getaway to the beach

I had been to Naples before, but my husband had never been. This is mainly a trip to help out our daughter who has three children and we decided to take the two youngest for a week of their Christmas break. We knew they love the water and they love pools, so that was a big hit overall The home was well appointed, including many toys and puzzles chairs for the beach. We made use of the washer and dryer, which really came in handy. The home was a short walk away to the beach, but because the kids were so young we often drove, which was only $10 for parking , there were many close activities close by and we highly recommend going on a boat to see the manatees as well as the dolphins which you can do from Marco Island On the beach we really enjoyed picking up many shells, and on my early morning walks I often saw dolphins swimming by. There was also beach yoga which I participated in twice. Anytime I reached out to the hosts of this beautiful home they got back to me immediately I can’t recommend this place enough and the people who own it *****

Quick Trip

House was clean and had a nice pool. Close to beach but not quite walking distance especially with a family. It’s a good thing there’s a public garage about one block from the beach entrance. The area was beautiful but a bit pricey. Went out for Cuban food which is normally inexpensive and spent over $200.

A great place to stay! Perfect house and location.

The house was fantastic and we loved the location. Close enough to walk to the beach, ride bikes around the quiet neighborhood and a short drive to great restaurants and the grocery. The house was extremely clean, provided everything we needed from a supplies perspective and more. From bikes to extra beach towels and all of the kitchen amenities. We loved having a pool to cool off in and really enjoyed the surrounding tropical vibe of the back yard. Check in was a breeze and communication with the property owners was spot on. 5 stars all around!

Perfect for a family!

Our family of 6 adults, along with a newborn baby, enjoyed family time on the screened in porch and and as we lounged by the salt water pool! The close walk to the beach allowed us to stay for a short time or a long afternoon. The bikes were awesome for a quick ride to the beach. The house had everything we needed and more. The beds are so comfortable and everything is so well kept and clean! The owners were so pleasant and gracious to deal with!

Fantastic pool home near beach

We had a great time at the Vandy home retreat. It’s within walking distance to the beach and good restaurants such as the Turtle Club. The pool area of the home is fantastic. We enjoyed being able to Netflix our shows via the smart TV. The owner is great at commutation and the renting process is easy. We hope to be back!

Wonderful despite social distancing

Even though beaches and restaurants were closed we totally enjoyed ourself social distancing in this home with a great pool. Perfect for our family, 3 adults, two children. The pool area is secluded by trees and the neighborhood is very quiet. The owners, Stephanie and Gregory, could not have been more accommodating .

Paradise in Vanderbilt Beach

The rental vacation home was absolutely perfect. So clean and organized. Guest information book that was a huge help. 3 bedrooms that are perfect sizes. Backyard is quite private with a very nice pool to float around all day. Perfect screened in porch to play some cards with a few drinks. Lots of towels, floaties and chairs. Kitchen well stocked up with a big livingroom. I would recommend at least 1 to 2 more TV's in the bedrooms. The house is a perfect layout. Location is PERFECT to grocery stores, malls and 5th Ave where we spent a lot of time at night. So beautiful. Definitely a place we will come back to and refer our friends. LOVE LOVED IT!! Thanks so much Greg and Debbie for making our vacation a great experience. Silvana and Mario

About the host

Hosted by Gregory and Deborah Strayhorn

We are excited to share our new home with our guests. We are avid travelers and have appointed our home in the manner we are accustomed to when traveling. We are dog lovers and own two small dogs and welcome small dogs to the property. The yard is fenced and the neighborhood is dog and child friendly.

Why they chose this property

Our Vandy Retreat is a WALK to beautiful Vanderbilt Beach - white, fluffy sand and calm waters. Mercato is a two minute drive with tons of fantastic restaurants and live entertainment. 5th Avenue is only 8 miles away. The neighborhood is quiet and extremely family friendly.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with our home due to its extremely close proximity to Vanderbilt Beach ( a walk ) a short drive to tons of restaurants, shops, grocery stores, gyms, library, bike rentals, marina, etc. We are only 20 minutes from the Southwest Florida International Airport and only a 1.5 hour drive to Miami and Ft. Lauderdale !
