TOTAL PRIVACY: We spent over $50,000 making sure our lanai, pool and gardens are totally private. First we had 8 foot fences erected, and then a sound barrier (so we can never hear neighbors) and then we had two rows of 20 foot tall dense areca palms installed. All this on both sides of the villa. To the back we are on a preserve so absolutely no neighbors. TOTAL privacy, TOTAL quiet. You can go skinny dipping if you like.

"The Spot"
The lanai is perhaps the most inviting place in the entire Villa. Because a substantial portion of it is covered and has a multi-speed fan and light the lanai can be used anytime day or night rain or shine. It is conveniently accessible from the great room through the huge retractable glass doors, from both master bedroom suites, and also from the west wing bathroom. Decorated with top of the line Robb & Stucky outdoor furnishings, our lanai is a lot more than just a covered outside area. It is "The Spot".

Sun or Shade... You decide.
As you can see the covered part of the lanai remains shaded even during the sunniest part of the day... (That would be most of the day in Naples). If you want sun then simply move to one of several sunning areas. There are plenty of very comfortable lounges and since the entire 1,400 square foot lanai area is enclosed in a gigantic cage no mosquitoes can bother you.

It Becomes a Room.
The outdoor covered eating and lounging area is one of the best places in the Villa. Even when it is very hot it feels cool thanks to the quiet multi-speed fan and the ocean breezes coming from the Gulf. Occasionally it may rain. Usually these rain showers are very brief and welcomed to cool things down, but should the rain become too intrusive you can simply push a button and the entire area becomes a completely enclosed room.

Restful Places.
The lanai area offer many intimate and quiet places to enjoy. Either a quiet corner to read a favorite book, or just a place to reflect there is always a place.
You will need lots of rest so you can have strength to go on all the adventures Naples and the rest of the Paradise Coast have in store for you.

Beautiful Views
Everywhere you look there are wonderful things to look at. And array of colored flowers, palms, fruit trees and interesting pottery.
There are two doors that lead out from the lanai and into the surrounding gardens. There you will find yet another facet of our lovely holiday home.

Yes, It Is "The Spot"
Breakfast early in the cool morning with fruits from the garden, or "Linner" in the early afternoon with some of the great local sea food grilled on the BBQ. Or perhaps a wonderful late nightcap by the light of the moon and the colors of the pool. Anytime, day or night you will find the lanai is indeed quite "The Spot".
