Style Notes
Tropical, clean and modern. This villa-style property has a bright, open living area and benefits from vaulted ceilings with fans in every room. Colors are soft and muted and furniture is pale, giving a soft, beachy feel. There are pictures of the sea, dolphins and shells on the walls and the soft, fluffy rugs are strewn on wood floors. The pool is covered but with views of the sky and the gardens. We love the comfortable master suite with views of the pool through its 2 floor-to-ceiling windows and easy access to the pool so you can swim anytime you please.

Naples and Marco Island, Florida
Beaches, nature, shopping and art
With its palm-tree lined avenues and a sophisticated small-town feel, pretty Naples wears its affluence lightly and is a favorite holiday destination for families lured by its perfect white sand beaches, vibrant art scene and world-class Botanical Garden. It’s an easy drive from here to Marco Island, the largest of the Ten Thousand Islands, where kids can get up close with nature on wildlife refuges, go on a boat cruise to see dolphins, or spend a day beachcombing for exotic shells.
