Our love aair with Naples began when wepurchased our rst home here over 15 yearsago and truly took o in 2012 that's when wedecided that a life of sun, surf and sand suited us andmade the gulf coast city our home.

Since then, we've been growing our oering ofhomes to provide our guests with truly memorablestays. Whether it's a beach backyard, perfect pergola

or Key West attitude, every one of our homes has apersonality all its own.

We saw the opportunity to infuse our own roots intosouthwest Florida and took it: our picture-perfectgardens are a result of Michael's English green thumb,and our ultra-chic interior design and furnishings canbe credited to Rikke's Scandinavian heritage.

Catch sight of hundreds ofbird species and, if you're lucky,a pod of dolphin or manateesas you traverse the nature trailsthrough oak-palms, pines andmangroves. Be sure to bring yoursnorkeling and shing gear to

this paradise o the beaten path.

It's hard to a describe a Naples sunset, but here's a few words that cometo mind: breathtaking, awe-inspiring, otherworldly. Grab a camera to

capture Mother Nature's nightly display of color at one of the city's bestsunset-watching spots, or just sit back and watch as deep oranges andpinks dance across the sky. Our favorite way to watch the sun go downis with a drink in hand at The Naples Beach & Golf Hotel.

They're chic. They're swanky. They're the upscale downtown districtsof Naples. Reminiscent of iconic California beach towns, these luxury-laden neighborhoods boast world-class shopping and top-of-the-linestyle. Experience a day in the life of the rich and famous by popping

into the boutiques on 5th Avenue and 3rd Street South, then driveimmediately south for a tour of Port Royal's mansions.

Voted #2 beach in the USA, this 342-acre preserveboasts picturesqueshorelines and a diverse population of animal species, including theland-dwelling gopher tortoise and a variety of sea turtles. After dippingyour toes in the crystal blue waters, we recommend getting up closeand personal with wildlife on nature trails and canoe tours through theestuary waters.
