Friends and neighbors,
Naples is in full “season mode” right now... the kind where you blink and your calendar fills up, and someone texts asking where to stay.
Here’s what you missed (and what’s worth bookmarking):
Tuesday: Naples’ newest dining room at Naples Beach Club (The Merchant Room) + 4 stylish cocktail spots + poll winners. Read it here.
Thursday: Naples Weekender: Mardi Paws, Brew Fest & Aircraft Expo + this week’s poll. Read it here.
Now, the part of “Naples in season” nobody posts about: hosting. The towels, the schedule juggling, the grocery runs... all for people you genuinely love. If you want the easiest upgrade this year, it’s this: keep the fun, outsource the sleeping arrangements. That’s where today’s sponsor comes in.

The hosting upgrade locals swear by
Here’s the truth about “season” in Naples: the best weeks don’t sell out... they quietly disappear. And once they do, you’re stuck choosing between “fine” and “why is this so expensive?”
Right now is the sweet spot. There are still great homes available before calendars fill up and rates climb.
Naples Florida Rentals is a woman-owned, locally run company that helps visitors book host-owned homes across Naples that actually feel like a vacation... clean, comfortable, and in the neighborhoods people want to be in (think extra bedrooms, space to spread out, and yes, heated pools).
Homes are professionally cleaned, backed by 600+ five-star reviews, and booking direct helps guests skip the extra platform fees.
Why locals recommend it:
Book direct (no platform fees, fewer surprises)
Real local help (Dana lives in Naples and answers texts)
Fast matching by dates, budget, and must-haves
Flexible cancellation (full refund up to 7 days before arrival)
Guest-friendly homes (heated pools, pet-friendly, room for families)
Fastest way to do it: Call or text Dana at (239) 397-0929 with your dates + budget + must-haves, and she’ll send the best options. Feel free to forward this to anyone about to host a full house.
Hosting should feel like a vacation, not a second job. When guests have their own place, you get the best version of a visit... the laughs, the plans, the beach days... without the towel logistics.
See you in the next edition,
