We had a great time in your home. It was clean & very comfortable. We used your beach toys & cart. Everything worked great. We walked everywhere. Your house is very close to .... restaurants, shopping & beach. Thank you for sharing.

Olde Naples
Our stay
Submitted: January 6, 2012
Stayed: December 2011
We stayed in this house for 5 days around Christmas time, 2011. The good, the bad and the ugly follow:
THE GOOD -
* The location is lovely. You aren't 200 feet from the beach, but you are 200 yards from a very nice, white sand beach. The beach has no vending or other disturbances and is a great place to spend time in the sun
* Fruit trees - There's a nice orange tree in the yard, and we picked fresh oranges and they were wonderful
* The weather - It was 80-85 every day we stayed
* The area is wonderful. You're just 9 blocks away from the Naples pier, and even fewer from Old Naples dining and shopping
* Having two bikes (man's and woman's) was very nice
* Nice enclosed patio to sit on, although one of pool-type chaises is broken
THE BAD -
* Bugs - we found large (and live) cockroaches in the house
* Mice - we found mouse feces in several places. The kick-plate for the dishwasher is gone, and someone has stuffed paper shopping bags under there. We saw several bugs head that way when we turned the lights on
* The chairs and equipment are dated. We used the carrier to take 4 chairs and umbrella to the beach, and two of the chairs were broken, and most of them are rusty at the hinges. Not a big deal, as there are about 6 chairs there look things over before you load them up and haul them to the beach
* The house is small, which is fine. But there is no "den" as noted in the listing. There is a master bedroom, a 2nd bedroom, and a 3rd room with a day bed/desk for internet work/TV
* The house smells of pets. There is a 2-3 inch crevice between the sliding patio doors and the dining room floor, and it is filled with pet hair and dirt. It was not very attractive
* Security - the lock on the sliding doors doesn't really work. There's an odd latch but it doesn't work, and there's a chain that goes on the bottom of the doors. However, there is "play" in the doors which would allow anyone to partially open the doors, remove the latch and chain and voila. Locks should work as designed
* We followed directions to use the TV and cable, but it didn't work much of the time. The TV simply "auto-scrolled" through a setup menu, and it was nearly impossible to stop this
THE UGLY -
* None really. The house is okay; you're not renting a new home, and you should take note. If you plan on spending time at the beach, golfing, shopping, riding bikes, etc., then it's a good place. I don't like finding bugs in multiple rooms, and being concerned about storage.

Owner's Response: For the past year my agent in Naples has used Marsha M. to clean my home. Being a few days before Christmas (Dec 22) Marsha wasn't available
so we used Jane B, suggested by a friend. I didn't learn until after my guests arrival that Jane had done such a terrible job. I called my agent at once
and within 30 minutes she was at my home asking my guests what she could do. They said not a thing. By then two days of their six day rental had lapsed but we would have been happy to address both the chaise and TV issue that day. I was horrified and very upset
when I learned what had happened. I've had renters in my homes in Wisconsin and Naples for years and never have had guests arrive to
such conditions.
I was unaware of the broken chaise. A new one will replace the broken one immediately so guests can enjoy the lovely patio.
Unfortunately the climate in Southwest Florida is somewhat welcoming to a few large insects. During certain weather conditions Palmetto bugs are found in the finest homes in Naples. However I'll have the exterminators return as soon as possible for a thorough treatment. They will, of course, address the issue of mice, however they informed me that it is very unlikely that mice are in the house.
Any guest who has trouble with the television reception should notify us right away. The instructions may be slightly complicated but the tv works fine. I will call Comcast and/or a repair service. Current guests are having no problem with the television and there is no history of a problem. So we are puzzled as to what was happening during this time.
The patio door cannot be opened from the outside if the latch is closed properly. I will, however, double check to determine if a more secure lock will be safer. The security of our guests and of our property is of the utmost importance.
We apologize for any inconvenience or discomfort. This is a charming Olde Naples home in a perfect location . . close to everything. I want my guests to enjoy it as much as my wife and I do when we are in Naples and will make every effort to maintain a welcoming and comfortable vacation home.
