Let’s start with the good, the location is excellent, just off Vanderbilt Rd, a short drive to most of Naples. There is a nice covered outdoor space by the pool. Good to work and relax in. The bad. The air conditioning in the house is either badly outdated, or the owner intentionally governs it. You are instructed to keep the temperature at no less than 74 degrees, which is very uncomfortable. Sleeping was very hard as the master bedrooms are upstairs, and even at 74 degrees, the air conditioning went out a few times. The house is full of old repurposed wood, which I guess came from a home owned by H. G. Wells. While the concept of wood coming from a famous author’s home sounds interesting, it does not suit the SW Florida decor. The furniture is neither comfortable or usable. There isn’t a lot of really usable space to hang out, spend time with people, etc. I would say the outdoor space is enjoyable. The cleanliness of the place is very average. The linens are older and cheap. The beds have old box springs; either that or they are very cheap. The first time we cleaned the sheets, we were quite disturbed by what we found. All in all, an underwhelming rental.

Great location, great house.
