As you step onto the front screened sitting porch, you're greeted by over 3,000 square feet of open-concept living space. The expansive kitchen and dining area boast modern amenities and more. Take a peek at the kitchen pics to see the variety of small appliances that will delight the inner chef in you.

Get cozy on the oversized sectional couch and indulge in the 77" Roku ready TV. Can't find anything to watch? Check out our selection of over 100 DVDs. Open access to the pool and sunning deck areas enhances the relaxation. For quieter moments, retreat to the library/office and peruse the shelves for a good read. A laptop, printer, and office supplies are on hand for those who can't completely escape the work flow.

2 full suites, located at opposite ends of the home, open into the 1,200 square foot enclosed pool cage, featuring a heated 12 x 36 foot pool and multiple seating/dining areas. The third bedroom opens onto the paved side patio, while the fourth bedroom has access to the screened front porch. All bedrooms are furnished with king-size beds topped with 4" memory gel toppers, and any or all rooms can be converted to twins for those with individual sleeping requirements (perfect for bigger golfing groups!). Each bedroom also includes a Roku-ready TV. Additionally, the home offers 4 twin-size sleeper sofas, 4 oversized couches, and multiple air mattress sizes from twin to king, as well as 2 specially designed toddler air mattresses and 3 Pack 'n Plays, providing accommodations for additional sleepers of all ages.

We've got kids covered with fun activities for all ages. The colorful, fully-stocked kids playroom will keep the youngsters entertained for hours. For the older kids (ages 8 to 98), we offer a game room packed with electronic basketball, foosball, air hockey, dart board, chalk wall, wet bar, popcorn machine, cotton candy machine, karaoke, TV, game table and over 50 board games, just to name a few options.

:: THE EXTERIOR/GROUNDS ::
Step through any of the 4 French doors onto 1,200 square feet of private enclosed outdoor living space, free from bugs. Look out beyond the arched windowed walls into a wooded paradise -here, you'll find no noisy (or nosy) neighbors.

Take a dip in the 12'x36' heated pool, complete w/toys for added fun. Work on your tan on the large sunning deck or enjoy the shade under the giant Sunbrella retractable awning, all while watching the game or music videos on the 50" poolside TV. When hunger strikes, fire up the propane grill for a family meal.

After lunch, head to the north side of the home for some old-fashioned swinging, sandcastle building with the kids on the "sand beach," or simply relax on the large paved side patio while safely watching the kids be kids. Take a leisurely hike on our private walking paths and explore the Florida exotics along the way.

As night falls, the light show begins. Whether you're in the pool or beside it, you can quietly listen to the wildlife under the canopy of lights in the enclosed bug-free private environment. After enjoying the paved fire ring and roasting a few marshmallows with the kids, send them off to play in one of the great playrooms while you enjoy a cocktail. You've earned it!

We're conveniently located near multiple golf courses, restaurants, grocery stores, and shopping centers. A paved walking trail is also within walking distance.

Our home is self-managed, ensuring you always have direct contact with the owners. You'll receive your own personal access code, eliminating the need for keys or dealing with leasing agents. We refer to ourselves as 'The Front Desk' and will personally meet and greet you upon check-in. We'll provide a quick tour and highlight the home and grounds, and answer any questions or concerns you may have upon your arrival.

We have our own housekeeping and caretaking staff, and having a member of our team or your hosts on the grounds during your stay ensures that we're available immediately if any problems arise, with qualified individuals ready to assist and remedy any issues at a moment's notice.

Best Young Family House in Naples!
We cannot say enough good things about the Naples Paradise Palms house! I almost don’t want to review it so I don’t give up the secret! Jan is the BEST host; easy to communicate with, readily available for any need or questions, and has great recommendations! The house was SPOTLESS which is crazy considering how large it is and all of the nooks and crannies. The pool was perfect, the toys and kids items (pack n play, high chairs, pool toys) were essential for us. The yard is wonderful and the king-sized beds in each room were perfect for our multi-generational family. We can’t wait to come back! The ONLY minor downside of this house is the location, it’s located on the southern side of Naples, so great access to Marco Island and Big Cypress, but about 25-30 mins to downtown Naples/Zoo area with traffic during the busy season (spring break). This is easily negated by the beautiful pool and spacious yard though, which you would be hard-pressed to find in any other Naples location

Great fun in the Sun!!
We had a party of 12 - 7 adults and 5 children ranging in age from 3 to 78. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and lots activities and games for the group. The pool area was wonderful, warm and a perfect place for everyone to bask in the sun and watch the kids playing with all of the toys provided. It was like going to a toy store. Jan provided many extras for us to enjoy. The s'mores were a big hit. We would come again.

The beds were so comfortable and the grounds were private and relaxing with so much to do for the kids. Besides the beautiful pool, there is a sand pit with rocks to explore on and swings to enjoy. There is a fire pit and 2 grills for cooking on. You would be privileged to stay here. Thanks Jan for everything!

Perfect Family Getaway!
Everything about the property was fantastic! Communication with Jan was great. The set up of tbe house was perfect for four families. We had two 5 year olds and they never unpacked a single one of their toys! Between the game room and the pool there wasn't much desire to leave - we did rent a boat and a 15 minute drive to Marco had us on our boat and out yo Keywadjn for some shelling. We took a 30 minute ride to Big Cypress for an airboat ride. Loved that we were so close to everything but yet felt secluded. Perfect spot where great memories were made! Until Next time...

Everything you need
We were a group of 11. This was a business trip, so we mostly worked during our time there. All of our needs were met, and I imagine this would be a near perfect place for large families or groups of friends who would just like to relax and enjoy the surrounding area. Good space, ample parking, great kitchen and grill. Jan and her team were very responsive throughout. The house is well stocked and located in a quiet area. We felt the need to air it out a bit on arrival (it felt just a little musty), but I think that is likely the case with all homes in a humid environment.

Perfect home away from home
We had a three night stay which was not enough to scratch the surface of what this property had to offer. There is so much stuff to do and fun to be had here. We were in Naples for a tournament and didn't have much down town to enjoy the board games, video games and everything else the house had to offer. The pool was fabulous and we enjoyed the firepit with friends. Anything you could have needed was supplied. Forgot something? Never a worry...you were sure to find it somewhere in the house. Jan is an exceptional host. She truly thought of everything you could possibly need for your stay. She was super responsive to any questions we had and treated us like friends using her home.

Amazing vacation!
My husband and I have brought our children and grandchildren on multiple vacations in Naples area. This house is perfect, and Jan could not be more accommodating! From pre planning discussions on children sleeping arrangements, to questions during the stay, to follow up after check out, Jan is wonderful. She makes sure that you have everything you need, and promptly responds to questions. The entire family throughly enjoyed our time. Close enough to get to the beach, or grab a coffee quick, but far enough from the hustle bustle that you can enjoy the peacefulness of a campfire with marshmallows. The playroom is a God send. The younger kids could always be found in the playroom, the older kids (and a lot of time dads too) could be found in The game room. So much to do! The set up of the house, with lots of seating, allows for family meals to be enjoyed together. We absolutely plan on staying again. This house is everything it boasts about and so much more! If you are looking for a fun filled vacation without any hassles, Jan will make sure you are taken care of before, during, and after your stay! Perfection!

Loved it!
Loved the house- we never ran out of things to do - this place has everything. Loved the hostess (super nice & helpful) Loved the beds (super soft) - Loved the huge walk-in showers Loved the game room! (cotton candy maker!) Loved the kids playroom (this is HUGE if you have kids - we never saw ours) lol Loved the kitchen (all kinds of gadgets & small appliances that you always wanted to try out) & the pantry (we got in late and found oatmeal, coffee, tea & juice for the morning - this was perfect for hungry kids before we could get to the grocery store) + there's a lot more stuff in the pantry too! Loved the pool - the outdoor activities - fire pit, horseshoes, golfing, exploring the woods (the owners left the kids Jiffy Pop & marshmallows for the firepit - the kids have never seen Jiffy Pop) what fun! Best of all - the kids never asked, “What are we going to do now” - in fact, they cried when we told them they had to go back to their OWN home What a perfect vacation! I am so glad we found this house - we WILL be coming back Robin, Dave & the kids

Property and amenities were perfect for a large group!
This property was more than we expected. The owner (Jan) was in contact with us prior to the vacation, which made us feel comfortable knowing that a real person cared. Everything you could possibly want for a large group to enjoy vacation, was available at Jan's. Everything from linens to pool/beach items to every small appliance for cooking to games and game accessories (popcorn maker/ice machine). We had it all. The home was exactly as described and the pictures helped to explain each of the areas perfectly. The beds were all comfy and plenty of extra room (inflatable beds/couches) for extra sleepers. Jan checked in frequently to ensure we were finding everything we needed and were comfortable. The front door combination security lock was the best idea for a group (no "lost" keys!). Property was immaculate and since this is a new-to-the-market property, very well maintained. We were just about 20 minutes to Marco Island, less than an hour to Sanibel and Captiva. We loved Tin City in Naples for shopping and took a lovely afternoon cruise in Naples. Jan is planning some upgrades to the water system which will make this home absolutely perfect! The highest compliment we (ladies group of ten!) would give this property is that we would definitely return.

"Hey Grandma, you should BUY this house!!"
In the middle of our 2 week stay at this amazing vacation home, our 11 year old grand-son called out to me from the middle of the pool, "Hey Grandma, you should BUY this house!!" That about sums up our amazing family vacation, which included all of our children and grandchildren, 13 in all. With 4 large bedrooms, there was plenty of room for families to sleep, and the younger children loved their kid-sized air beds. The layout of the home provided privacy for all at night while still offering a wonderful feeling of togetherness in the open concept main living area, thoughtfully arranged to provide options for dining, entertainment, and conversation. There is even a well supplied office nook with a mini library for adults and good selections for school age-readers. The play room was a paradise of wonder for our little ones, and as a retired elementary school teacher I was especially appreciative of the well selected toys, games, and picture books. The large game room provided another place for older kids of all ages to let off some steam. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need for indoor and outdoor cooking and dining with a crowd, which came in handy when we entertained some of our extended family that live in the area. The pool is large and well maintained, the lanai area has plenty of seating with shade at the hottest times of day, and the kids were delighted with the number of pool toys. The back yard has plenty of room to run and explore, and we loved the old fashioned swings. We could easily have stayed another week. Overall, I can't think of a single thing we wanted and couldn't find, a tribute to the owner's thoughtfulness and attention to details of guest comfort all throughout the house. We appreciated Jan's prompt and responsive communication style both before, during, and after our stay. She truly cares about making sure all goes well for her guests, and it did!

We enjoy hosting and have made real relationships through the years with folks who have continued to return to our home time & again. We are not a 'back-alley' short term rental operation.  And your safety is a priority to us.  Maintenance issues DO NOT go unnoticed or neglected.  And we rely on our guests to help keep us informed of any issues of concern so we may get right to them.  From hard-wired smoke/carbon detectors thru-out the home, an on-the-ready fire extinguisher, exterior cameras on the property, to a full-house alarm system if you choose to activate. The county acknowledges us, we collect & pay the required taxes and our neighbors support, look out for & generally like to see the home stay filled with amazing families such as yours enjoying their 'much looked forward to' vacations. That being said, it would be our pleasure to host you and your guests as well. Thank you for taking a look at our home. Take care & stay safe out there.

Why they chose this property

"Don't touch that!" A parents famous last words. But who wants to hear/play that during a long anticipated, much needed family vacation. We got ya. You won't find any white furniture here! (Oh- and you can bring along your 4-legged furry kids as well.) Sitting on 1.5 acres of isolation from the hustle & bustle of the city the entire family can enjoy 1200+ s/f fully enclosed 12 x 36 heated pool, the 'sand' play beach, wooden swing & when night time falls the cozy paved fire pit for s'mores & story sharing. Upon entering the interior, guests will be delighted in the open concept layout of the main rooms.  It's 'family time ' after all & where all those activities melt seamlessly into one another. And as the days wind down private bedroom wings anxiously await your slumber. As night falls, retire to one of the 4 bedrooms.  2 main suites at opposite rear ends of the home each opening onto poolside. Each suite houses a king size bed (all beds in the home have 4" memory foam toppers & further break down to twins accommodating different guest needs).   Suite #1 features 55" tv, jacuzzi tub, dual sinks, walk in shower & separate toilet room.   Suite #2 offers an additional couch for sleeping, walk in shower, separate toilet room & houses the washer/dryer closet.
Moving to the front wing of the home bed #3 houses a king bed & private patio w/screen door allowing one to enjoy fresh air & palm trees.  While bed #4 opens onto the front screened porch & features a colorful large dressing room & king sized bed. A common sitting area & 3rd bathroom w/walk in shower completes this wing. For additional sleeping, sofa sleepers, couches & air mattresses are avbl. Head into the sunshine you'll find multiple seating areas poolside along w/retractable Sunbrella awning, 55" TV,  propane grill, overflowing pool toy box & lounge chairs to work on your FL tan. Practice chipping w/the floating golf mat or net (don't worry - special foam golf balls keep us all friends.)

What makes this property unique

The kitchen comes fully stocked & well-equipped..  We've tried to anticipate any needs a 'home chef' might have from large appliances to small.  Pots, pans, baking & doo-dads.  We've packed it in trying to keep life simple as possible.  You're on vacation after all... And for those nights 'eating out'- the pool deck grill, utensils & outdoor dishes await your culinary delights. A highchair & multiple booster chairs are also avbl for our youngest guests (as well as 3 PlayPaks & swing). Just off the LR sits the colorful kids play room.  We've filled it with books, games & toys that you WON'T find at the local Wal-Mart, letting that imagination run wild. (And an ever-helpful baby monitor so mom/dad can relax at ease w/those much-earned chilled glasses of wine).
And for the older 'kids', check out the game room off the office/library.  Foosball, basketball, air hockey, putting green, darts, board games galore, chalk wall, karaoke, poker table & wet bar. The list goes on & on... (Did we mention the theater popcorn machine, cotton candy maker or ice cream soft serve.) Yup. It's all there too. Whew! Now you just might need a quiet breather, right? Pop back into the library for a great vacation read or oversized tabletop picture book sure to delight the senses & hey, maybe you'll even learn something you hadn't known already. And don't forget- morning coffee is that much better on the enclosed front screen porch while the 'exhausted' family slumbers peacefully away ~ (shhhhh.....) Or head out onto our private walking paths winding thru the property, enjoying the sweet morning Florida air & exotic tropicals along the route. When all pruned up from swimming all day - send 'em out to play in our oversized sand 'beach' area. Take a ride on our wooden swing or play with one of the multiple outdoor game sets just waiting to test your skills & competition.
