Naples Park is a residential area in North Naples and much loved for its proximity to Vanderbilt Beach, Delanor Wiggins State Park and the restaurants, shops and nightlife of Mercato.

There are some cafes and restaurants within walking distance and we are a 5-minute drive from Mercato, home to Whole Foods Market, Nordstrom Rack and Silverspot Cinema, a 12-screen premier-style theater. You will also find notable restaurants and retailers, including Blue Martini, Bravo Cucina Italiana, The Capital Grille, Charming Charlie, Chipotle, Cyclebar, Nordstrom Rack, Pandora, Rocco’s Tacos, Tommy Bahama, Ulta, Whole Foods, and Z Gallerie. There is also a vibrant year-round event calendar with most events free and open to the public.

5 minutes away is Gulf Shore Drive, home to some fabulous, high-end, beachside dining and hotels – The Turtle Club, Baleen, and the Ritz Carlton, to name a few. Dining reservations are definitely recommended.

The main attraction is the white sugar sand Vanderbilt Beach and Delanor Wiggins state Park, where you can hire kayaks to explore the mangroves and hunt for seashells.

10 minutes to the south are the world class Waterside Shops downtown Naples, home to 5th Avenue, Naples Beach, and the Marina and restaurants on Naples Bay. Tin City is a unique spot, and Naples Botanical Gardens are definitely worth a visit.

Celebration Park in East Naples (a 20 min drive) is a great spot to explore, with a host of excellent food trucks, waterside location and often live music (dogs are welcome).

You will be about 1.5 miles from the main Vanderbilt beach access point. There’s a drop-off point where you can unload your beach chairs and gear on the circle before parking. Vanderbilt Beach has parking for 375 cars, and you will have to pay the parking fee for the whole day. It is best to arrive early during busy periods, as they close the gates once full. The metered parking spaces use credit-card-friendly pay stations. The parking garage is just west of The Ritz hotel entrance.

There is also a second beach access – Bluebill – which is a similar distance away, and Delanor Wiggins State park right next to it. There is very easy driving access to both US41 and I75 for RSW airport, Fort Myers and Sanibel to the north and downtown Old Naples and Marco Island to the south.

There is also good UBER and LYFT services for those nights out, or if you are without a car.

Pets:
We will consider hosting your furry family member (dogs only under 35lbs), but PLEASE inquire first, before booking. There is a non-refundable pet fee.
