Friends and neighbors,
If your week moved fast, here’s the short catch-up with the two editions you might have missed:
Tuesday: A Monday-worthy hidden gem in Bonita Springs, plus the Bloody Marys in Naples that actually deliver. Read Tuesday’s edition here »
Thursday: A weekend lineup with serious range: supercars on 5th, motorsports films with director Q&As, garden and art festival plans, and Chicago rolling into Artis. Read Thursday’s edition here »
Now, a Naples season moment we all know too well: someone sends a screenshot of flight times and says, “We’re planning to see you soon!” ✈️
Next thing you know, you’re rearranging closets, timing grocery runs, and answering texts like you run a boutique hotel.
If you want to keep the visit fun (without turning your home into a logistics hub), there’s one simple move that changes everything:
Let guests stay nearby.
You still get the dinners, beach days, and catch-up time. You just keep your normal routine.
And for the shortcut many locals use, here you go:
Presented by Naples Florida Rentals: The Easy Hosting Shortcut 🔑🏡

If you know someone about to host the whole crew, feel free to forward this along. Every booking supports local hosts and keeps more spending right here in Naples.
Hosting is better when everyone has room to breathe. When guests have their own space, the mornings are calmer, the schedule is easier, and the time together feels more like a vacation for everyone.
See you in the next edition,
