Relaxation

Everything we needed was in the unit - steps away was the beach and 5th Avenue - the unit was clean and cozy. This time of year the property was really quiet and almost had it to ourselves. We are very happy that our research took us to this unit!!

GREAT LOCATION!!

This is a delightful little condominium unit as close to the attractions of "Old Naples" as you can get. The unit is very well stocked with every supply you could imagine, including beach gear. The beach is only a 10 minute walk away through an attractive part of town. Karen and her husband Dwight worked very hard to make sure that we enjoyed our stay. We highly recommend this property.

Great Location!

Just returned from our trip to Olde Naples. We had the most wonderful time. This unit is in an ideal location. You can walk to 5th Avenue, 3rd Street. the Ocean, or the Bay. We had spectacular weather, found the traffic to be low, the food in the area was very good and reasonable. The shops are fun and they had a farmers market that we enjoyed. The owners were very easy to rent from and I would easily recommend this unit.

Great location in Old Naples. I strongly recommend it to couples and solo travellers.

I stayed for 16 days and everything was perfect. Very close to Fifth Avenue shops and restaurants and yet very calm on a quiet street. Pool very clean. You can easily walk to the beach. The owners provide beach chairs, umbrella, towels, etc. The kichen is fully equipped. Internet absolutely reliable. Cable TV with multi channels. Laundry facilities. Lots of practical information made available on the area. Very good quality-price ratio for Naples.

Perfect location, very comfortable accommodations, friendly owners

This unit is very close to all the action that we were looking for. Five minutes to the beach, and two minutes from all the fun on 5th avenue. The accommodations were comfortable if not luxurious. The little added touches such as books, games , beach chairs and towels, and of course the welcoming bottle of wine, made it a delightful experience. My only complaint was that the pool was not heated and as a result remained cold (for me) the entire time. Some days the ocean water was warmer. I imagine in the winter months it would have been unusable.

The Ultimate Naples Vacation Spot!

We had a wonderful vacation at Essex House! We could not ask for a better location! Steps from the most beautiful beach in Florida and world class dining! We walked everywhere. We enjoyed the theatre, Third Street South Shops and the market on Saturdays. We enjoyed the art show on 5th Ave S, not to mention the restaurants and shops. We also got into the habit of having an ice-cream cone every night after our walk. The condo had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation with all the amenities of home. We were also surprised with a great welcome package including wine, and lots of treats...Too many to mention. The property was very clean and very well maintained. We loved reading by the pool and the use of the gas bbq. The owner checked to see if we needed anything, but everything we needed was already provided. I would recommend this property to my friends and relatives and hope to stay there again.

Great Location, Weather and Accommodations

Stayed for a week, before Christmas, when Naples was less busy and the weather mild. The condo was perfect for the 2 of us. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our own meals, including picnic supplies, if you wanted to lunch at the beach. The bed was comfortable and the condo furnishings were just right for a small unit. There are lots of fans and air, though we didn't need them and preferred open windows. We rented bikes for the week and it was the way to go as the area is flat and beautiful for biking. Though we didn't meet them face to face, we felt the owners were accommodating and willing to please. We had a very nice week and enjoyed this condo very much. We would recommend it. Thank you Karen and Dwight

Relaxing and Convenient Getaway

Location, Location, Location, and this is about as good of a location as you can get. A short walk to the South and you are on 5th Ave with plenty of shopping, coffee shops, and restaurants. Continue walking south another few blocks and there is the Naples Pier. No fishing license required from the Pier and a walk to the end of the Pier gives a great view of the downtown Naples beach line. A few blocks to the west of the unit and you are on a quiet white sandy beach great for walks, relaxing or fishing. Accommodations were great, updated kitchen and bath, clean, with a spacious master bedroom and plantation shutters throughout. A pool is located right out the front door. Would highly recommend for a relaxing getaway with all the conveniences (with no to minimal driving needed!)

About the host

Hosted by Karen Harris and husband, Dwight Olson

We have lived here since 1976 and are a retired teacher and business owner,( originally from small towns in Minnesota and Ohio) raised 4 children and watched Naples grow and change. We live in the north 'country' area of Collier County and love the Old City part of Naples with its pier for fishing, beautiful white sandy beaches and gorgeous sunsets. This is a retreat from our busy lives. We wanted to 'stop and smell the roses'. The little condo is a breadth of fresh air. We love it, as our children, family, and friends do. We can stay for a weekend, week, or just a day. My 97 year-old mother can go for a little beach scene then come back and rest while others can walk the art festivals, fishing, shopping or just an ice cream cone. It truly is a treasure to share.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. In 4 blocks you can walk to the beach! 99 steps to 5th Ave., Also from your residence go 2 blocks west and 7 blocks south and you are at the 3rd St. shops and restaurants. From here you are now a few blocks from the famed Naples Pier! The fishing on the pier is free!!! No license required! It's paid for by the City of Naples! You don't need the car. You can walk to: tennis, art, beach, park, fishing, concerts, library, shops, food and entertainment in the streets. People come from all over the world, so we really feel we are on a mini vacation, when we only traveled 30 minutes from our home. (but it is so different, so relaxing, so away from it all, a true fun-time rest.)

What makes this property unique

It's a little condo, for a lot of what is going on outside the condo. Things are close: Beach, music, art, theater, parks, galleries, restaurants, fishing, boating, exploring, swimming, Price is good. The place is very clean. We are full-time residents who know the area to help make your stay pleasant and free of problems. We may even bring you a bottle of wine and home- made cookies!
