King Bedrooms, Two Blocks to Gulf, Shopping, and Dining in Old Naples

The second floor of the Main House is called The Upstairs Retreat. You can rent the Upstairs Retreat and the Main House separately or together. There is a door in the downstairs hallway that locks on both sides. We can share the key or keep it in the lockbox.

Enter the property from Gordon Drive and follow the crescent-shaped driveway to Broad Ave S. You will park on the Broad Ave S. side of the property and follow the stone path to your small brick patio and entryway at the back of the property.

Once you open the door, you will walk into a hallway where we keep beach supplies. The stairway is 16-ish steps up leading to the second floor. The door at the top of the stairs must remain closed at all times to ensure the air conditioning works properly.

The Upstairs has an open floor plan, cathedral ceilings with two large airplane fans, central air conditioning and heating, a mounted television, a desk, antiques, art, and a comfortable seating arrangement.

A large, white marble counter flows around the kitchen workspace, forming the four-seat bar area. The kitchen includes a four-burner stove, deep farmhouse sink, built-in under-the-counter refrigerator and freezer, and cabinetry. The wall of windows behind the sink allows for beautiful views of the grounds and the night sky.

There are two king bedrooms Upstairs. On the left side, facing Broad Avenue S, the second king bedroom straight ahead faces Gordon Drive. Both have bedside tables, lamps, ceiling fans, and space for clothes.

Adjacent to the kitchen is the laundry room tucked into a utility room. Here, we store cleaning supplies, beach supplies, and the Wi-Fi router. The one bathroom is directly across from the kitchen, with a step-up. The tub/shower combination functions well. Below a walled mirror, the marble vanity features a single sink and linens stored beneath.
The toilet is tucked in behind this mirrored wall.

We supply the beach chairs, umbrella, insulated beach bag, and igloo ice packs.

***Construction has been ongoing across the street from us for the past eight or so years. The building phase was most active in the last two seasons. I wondered, 'What do you do when living near a construction site?' The answer was to use noise machines and earplugs. I stocked them and lowered the nightly price. I use the Market Price Tools to set the nightly price.

****Guests, of course, would rather not have construction, but, saying that, we still have 5-star reviews, and reports say construction runs until 4/5 p.m. and does not occur on Sundays. As I am not in control of the building schedule, I can only go on what the guests report in our feedback.

****The 2026 season looks like it will be trim on windows and doors, and the inside work.

As we are so close to the beach, Old Naples, and the National Parks and Everglades, there is enough to do to avoid construction hours.
