Great  

“Very clean, quiet, and spacious. Nice big kitchen. Fantastic if you like to cook, or you just drive 10 minutes to a great restaurant. Also an ideal place to work remotely, if you are so inclined. Like living in your own dream house.“

Luxurious Estate Vacation Experience 

“The Knickerbocker offers all of the elements of luxury, in a “quasi-communal” living experience. Naples Florida Vacation Homes (NFVH) are the Property Managers and their staff visits the house daily to manage suite turnover, when they replenish items for day-to-day living, e.g. dishwasher soap, clean sponges/dish rags, laundry detergent and dryer sheets, and they wash beach towels offered for the pool (the blue ones). They are loving and helpful! The huge estate kitchen has been planned so that storing food items is orderly. The cold items are stored in a large sub-zero refrigerator, working with other guests to keep things ordered (you are responsible for your footprint in the kitchen). Shelf-stable items are stored in one of the 12 numbered 15+ Gallon drawers around the large island corresponding to your suite number. The kitchen is completely equipped for daily living. This includes many offbeat items used in cooking and baking you likely wouldn’t stock while on vacation, e.g. powdered sugar, flour etc. There are plenty of dishes and flatware and 2 high-end dishwashers (NB no large plates in the left dishwasher). There are multiple coffee makers with filters provided, and NFVH even puts-out k-cups for the Keurig 2.0. The Knickerbocker features a Grecian-style pool with a raised spa and waterfall. The pool was always a comfortable temperature, even after cold nights. The spa (hot tub) is always nice to relax in, but they were still working out the process to make the hot tub feature available to guests. The view from the spacious caged-in deck of the pool is a 2.5 acre sparsely wooded area that abuts a canal in these flatlands. It is very peaceful and conducive for casual lounging in, or around, the pool/spa. The amenities in each suite are top-of the line, with a spacious stand-up shower including a hand shower option in Suite 12. The owner is extremely committed to an authentic estate feel, and has worked with NFVH to provide the package that they offer for all of their rental properties. The Knickerbocker is furnished with high-quality period furniture, fixtures and art pieces that accentuate the feeling of estate living. Noteworthy is the Powder Room off the front sitting area, as it is a piece of Art created while we were there. Cutting edge mechanical cipher locks are programmed with unique codes for your stay, so privacy is assured. Suite 12 is special because it exits directly onto the pool deck. It features a large window that looks out over the back field, resulting in a nice view and natural lighting in the suite. All of the windows are gator glass and dressed with sturdy plantation shutters for easy manual control, and each suite has its own Mitsubishi Condenser system and remote for easy climate control. As a destination in Naples, it is off the trodden trail, but easy to get to, and very peaceful! It is 10 minutes to the grocery store of your selection, and 20-30 minutes from destinations in downtown Naples. This definitely is a deviation from the normal vacation rental experience, but Naples Florida Vacation Homes offers a luxurious environment, for a good safe social experience!“
