Exclusive lakefront private house w/pool, south-facing, gated community

Very nice property - good location and an excellent pool area.

Absolutely wonderful! This home was just as described. Check in was smooth and the manager was quick to respond to any questions we had. The home had everything we needed. A well stocked kitchen, a Weber grill for barbecuing, beach towels, beach chairs, coolers, ice packs for the coolers everything we needed for our stay. It has a view from the back that you have to see to believe. We enjoyed watching the wildlife all around us. Birds, turtles, otters at play, Muscovy ducks and more! We lazed by the solar heated pool every day and evening. The home is laid out beautifully so that guests or children can have their own bathroom and their own access to the pool area. Briarwood is a beautiful and safe gated community. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and hope to return again.

If you’re looking for a taste Paradise, look no further. Let’s start with location – this home is in a manicured gated community that is within 15 minutes of beaches, restaurants, shopping, theaters, and Naples’ attractions. The house itself is as lovely as you see in the photos … no photo-shopping here. It is tastefully decorated, well maintained, well stocked (including beach chairs, coolers, etc.) and very comfortable. The layout is designed with the center of the house encompassing the living room, dining room, kitchen, breakfast nook and easy access to the lanai and pool. The master bedroom suite is off to one side with its own entrance to the lanai and pool…the other two bedrooms on the opposite side with their own full bathroom and access to the pool from one of the bedrooms. By the way, the pool is solar heated. The house manager is just a phone call away should you need her (we did for a very minor issue) and the owner is a most gracious host.

The house and location were just as listed and had more furnishings/tools etc than we could have imagined. The kitchen had all the supplies we could have asked for and the landlord was very quick to respond to minor items. I guess our best response is to say that we look forward to being here for 3 more months!

The unit was clean and fully equipped from the coffee machine, to kitchen utensils to plenty of towels and state of the art appliance. The owner is very responsive The view from the pool area is priceless Big thank you

Another day in paradise🌴 The home is clean and bright. The pool is heaven, and the back yard view of sunset delightful!

First, I would like to say that the owners were very easy to work with. They were very responsive answering any questions we had, completing the rental agreement and providing information on our arrival. The Briarwood neighborhood is very very nice All the streets are lined with mature palm trees and the people are nice and friendly. There is plenty of room for walking a few miles a day with very little traffic. The development is gated and feels really safe and is centrally located to everything Naples has to offer. I noticed a few reviews that were critical of the traffic noise from Livingston Road. We Spent most of our time in the pool area which is a few hundred yards from the road and we didn't find it to be a distraction at all. As for the property and accommodations, the house came with everything we needed as stated by the owners and the house was comfortable. However, we found the furnishings and decor inside as well as patio furniture to be a little outdated and in need of some refreshing. For a week or two stay it would be ok, but paying the price for a 2 and a half month stay as we did you should expect things to be a bit modern.

My family spent three weeks in this home over the winter holidays, and it was a perfect home base for us. Some of the time spent there was vacation, but there were also days that we were working remotely and the children were in school via e-learning. The house had plenty of space that we were each able to have our own dedicated work area without interruption. The house is nicely appointed, and there was very little that we found ourselves needing that wasn't already there. We really appreciated the beach supplies - plenty of chairs, umbrellas, a beach blanket, and even a bin of beach toys. The pool is wonderful - we used it nearly every day. The pond behind the house is lovely, and we really enjoyed the variety of wildlife that we spotted every day. We spent lots of time just sitting in the lanai and enjoying the serenity. The owners and property manager were very responsive to the minor help we needed or questions we had, and in the one instance that something did need repair, it was done within a matter of hours of my initial request. The gated community is nice - it was basically a 10-15 minute drive to anywhere we wanted to go (grocery stores, Costco, Target, downtown Naples, the beaches). There is some audible noise from Livingston Rd. at times, but nothing that was disruptive. We loved our stay in this home and would definitely return!

We had booked 13 nights at this house based on the original listing, but asked to break the contact and leave early due to the multiple of above issues. We agreed to pay gate fee, VRBO booking fees, and cleaning fee in full, but asked for refund of the 10 days that we wouldn’t actually be staying at the house. Owner agreed to refund part of our stay, but would only refund 50% of the nightly rate excluding all fees (despite VRBO specifically showing the amount that went to owner). Owner stated he would not refund his income tax portion or his bank fees, etc. So ridiculous for us to be paying his income tax on rates we wanted refunded!

A clean property in a quiet neighbourhood. All amenities a family needs to enjoy a great vacation. Community pool, tennis courts and playground were greatly appreciated! Property owner was always available when necessary and very helpful in every way! Thank you!
