Have you ever opened the door to a rental house and exclaimed, “I’m home”? Neither have we. Until now. After spending a delightful week here, we determined we could live here.
This home’s rather unimposing front view belies an incredible interior. There’s plenty of “wow factor” here: light, bright, crisp rooms with softly contrasting paint colors punctuated by nautical accessories and humor that you would love even if you were not a li sailor/cruiser. Larry, who is a lifetime sailor, especially liked the long elegant polished wood and brass oar that served as a stairway handrail!
The home’s immaculately maintained interior appeared fresh and new. As a couple, we only used the spacious master bedroom, but appreciated two separate bathrooms. The bed was most comfortable and the room quiet, much appreciated after a grueling week at a very street-noisy high-end downtown hotel. With its four bedrooms, separate living and family rooms and multiple tvs, this property is suitable for two couples or a family, although even for just two of us it was considerably less expensive than the aforementioned downtown hotel.
Did we mention the open, large, high-end and well-provisioned kitchen and dining area? Our very favorite room, however, since we mostly enjoyed meals out, was the cozy sunlit nook at the front of the house with its comfy wicker chairs, bolsters and small table. It was our go-to place for morning coffee as well as evening wine time. An added bonus was the two-car garage, although we did not have a problem simply parking on the quiet street out front.
Since we frequently visit children and grandchildren in Naples (but enjoy our “alone” time), we have stayed in many area hotels, condos and homes. This home is now our hands-down fav, and we will return.
Like we said, we could live here!
