Luxury sun drenched Briarwood Villa with heated pool

I stayed in this villa for the first time in September 2011. The location was fantastic, with a beautiful view from the pool (which had sun all day long). It was very peaceful, and we enjoyed our time sunbathing on the patio. However, the cleanliness aspect was far from what I am accustomed to. We found cobwebs on the light fitting, damp on the bathroom wall, green slime all over the plastic patio furniture and the BBQ (which we had to pay extra for) was all rusty and out of gas and we could not use it.

I love Naples and would certainly go back there - even go back to the Briarwood complex - but I would not stay in this villa again !

We stayed at this villa in Naples for a week and had a fabulous time. The place is equipped with everything you need - great kitchen and dining area, dish washer, washing machine & dryer, double garage, 3 bathrooms, not to mention the wonderful pool and patio area. There are two main bedrooms and two twin rooms, so it could comfortably house two families of four. We were four adults with two toddlers so we had more than enough room. There is a nice big living area with flat screen TV. In the garage we found plenty of beach equipment which we made good use of on several of Naples's exceptional beaches. Towels were also in plentiful supply.

The villa is located in one of Naples's many gated communities and was pretty central for everything we wanted to see and do in the area - Naples downtown, shopping centres, beaches, golf, etc.

The booking process with owner Ian was easy and friendly. We have no heistation in recommending this holiday villa to anybody who wants a great stay in South West Florida. We certainly hope to go back.

This villa was as near perfect as they come! Well situated, spacious, beautifully furnished (especially loved the modern art!), extremely well equipped and, best of all (in my opinion!), comfortable beds! My family and I spent a blissful week here after 2 hectic weeks in Orlando. The villa had plenty of deck furniture and a very well equipped kitchen (important when there are 7 people!); the view overlooking the lake was picture-postcard, there were plenty of shopping opportunities within easy reach (try the Coastland Centre 5 mins away, or the outlet centre at Corkscrew Road just 20 mins north on I75). The beautiful beach is only 10-15 mins away and the sunsets viewed from the pier are second to none! There are some lovely shops in the town centre in which to browse (not all as expensive as you might have thought) and plenty of places to eat to suit all tastes and budgets - we particularly favour Outback Steakhouse and The Cheesecake Factory. The Management Company, should you have occasion to contact them, are extremely efficient and courteous, and all the arrangements made directly with Ian were very straightforward and worked very smoothly.
This villa will definitely be on my very short list of properties to which I would certainly return!
