Naples accomodation

Naples, Florida, the city on the Gulf Of Mexico started as a small fishing village only decades ago. Situated on the southwest corner of the Florida penninsula, Naples began attracting wealthy businessmen in the 1880's. Individuals looking for Florida's last frontier were rewarded with the variety of fish and game that thrived along the edge of the Everglades.

Naples' warm winter months attract northern Americans from the Midwest and North Atlantic states. They are referred to as snowbirds by the locals. These winter residents nearly double the area's population each year. Currently, more than 200,000 residents, including noted authors, artists, business leaders and athletes make Naples their home year-round!

Naples Bay, Wiggins Pass, the Gordon River and the Gulf of Mexico are some of Florida's MOST beautiful waterways!

With so much charm, Naples captures both visitors and residents alike. More than just a beachfront, Naples thrives with community activities and social gatherings.

Annual events such as Summer Jazz On The Gulf, Indian Pow Wow Days, and the Swamp Buggy Races are just a few that residents and visitors have a chance to participate in with good old fashioned FUN! The Festival of Lights is a year's end celebration that turns Olde Naples into a glittering wonderland of 50,000 twinkling lights.

Naples has many venues for several different tastes. From old world charm to convenient and modern shopping districts. Recent additions to the area's shopping districts are a variety of bistros, cafes and coffee shops that have opened this past year along Fifth Avenue South.

Cultural treasures, such as the Philharmonic Center for the Arts and the Naples Players, bring the night to life! Live Jazz and local performers fill the evenings with music at many area restaurants. Watersports, from fishing to skiing, surfing to sailing are the highlight of Naples.

Golf may rank as one of the most popular Neapolitan pastimes. With more than 50 courses in the Naples area, it's no wonder that visitors who enjoy the game return again and again!
