Ride your bike by the beach, walk to stores

The serenity - enjoying a cut of coffee and a slice of key lime pie on the lanai, watching birds and golfers

We walk to Publix and Target. Walmart neighborhood market is about five-ten minutes by car from the condo.
The closest Gulf Beaches are within 10-15 minutes driving distance. Clam’s Pass is two miles from the condo.

Yes, right I front of the condo and we are on the first floor.

Yes, the pool is heated to 84 F. In the summer, it gets to 90+ with the help of the sun

The condo is fully equipped and we spend about nine weeks there ourselves every year. There is also a starter kit with soap, detergent, toilet paper and kitchen paper towels to get you through the first couple of days. You need to bring your own beach gear though.

There is a photo from the Collier County Tax Collector showing our tax bill among the photos. I can also supply a copy of the latest utility bill.

You may call Turtle Lake Golf Colony in Naples to verify ownership. We can also provide you with references in Naples.

There are a few key features to look for to distinguish a real vacation rental from a scammer:
1) Paid advertising. If a person has put down money for something, it reduces the chance that he/she is a scammer.
2) Original text on their ad and on their website that wasn't copied from others.
3) that rates are comparable with the other condos in the area. Naples is pricey in season.
4) Photos of the location as well as the condo.
5) virtually all condo rentals will need approval by the association. If you are not asked to apply and pay a fee, this may be a warning sign
As an added layer of security, you can always contact the Collier County property appraiser to confirm ownership.

Simply call or text and we will get someone in there to take a look. Things do break from time to time. We try to stay proactive and replace things before needed, and have the a/c system serviced twice a year. We also replace machines to stay on top of things.

Yes, basic cable and basic internet is included.

The golf course is not part of Turtle Lake but you can buy tee time. Contact Quail Run Golf Course for further information.

If you are renting in January, we will meet you there personally and show you around before heading to the airport. Our friendly neighbor next door will collect the key and return your deposit after walking through the condo. If arriving when we are not there, the neighbor will let you in and show you around.

Yes, there is a fully refundable damage deposit of $ 500. We have not once needed to keep it.

Yes, we have a small manual that will be mailed to you. Since we have a light carpet, we ask that you respect our wishes of not wearing outdoor shoes inside as melted tar from the parking lot and walk ways transfers onto the carpet.

Yes, but not inside the unit. The association does not allow for that due to the risk of water damage. There is, however, a laundry room about one from the condo on the first floor. There is a small charge for using the washer and dryer.

Since we are dependent on booking the winter months well ahead of time, we allow for free cancellation less a fee if $ 500 up to six months ahead of time. If you cancel after that date, we will only refund what you have paid less $ 500 if we can find someone else who can rent the condo for that period. This has only happened once and we were able to find an alternative lease within a week.

There is a smart TV in the living room and a small flat screen TV in the master bedroom.

Since our association requires a monthly lease and we spend the first few days of January there ourselves, we would not be able to rent the month of January unless February is included in the lease. If someone is interested in January only or really wants to spend all of January and February in our place, we may consider renting it too and spend the last nights of our stay in a hotel.

For your, our and the safety of neighbors. The association will quickly process the paper work and run a background check. This way, all is done to keep the are safe for everyone.

Any rental shorter than six months is considered transient. The state of Florida carries a 6% sales tax and Collier County a 6% bed tax. This cannot be absorbed into the rate and needs to be paid by the guest and filed by us.
