Location location location

We enjoyed our stay at Gulf Breeze. The house is in a perfect spot, a quiet residential area within close distance of Vanderbilt and Barefoot and Delnor Wiggins beaches. Pleasant area for morning walks and having a relaxing beverage at the end of the day. Kitchen facilities were pretty good, with a convection stovetop (which we never used) and a big refrigerator. And Joseph was a gracious host. Would definitely stay again.

North Naples - Vanderbilt Beach house

The house is in a great location. The layout is a little chopped up and it was not clearly disclosed to us that the owner was on site (upstairs unit) or that the yard with table was shared. Otherwise great stay and nice house.

Check in and communication with property manager was great

I had read reviews so I new it was a shared property and had no problems with renters in the other units. It's about a 20 minute walk to Vanderbuilt beach.

Nice but...

The house is nice. However, the picture is from the back of the house so when we were looking for it in the dark, it was very difficult to find. Also, it would be very difficult to sleep 8 people as there are two "official" bedrooms, one room adjacent to a bedroom with a murphy bed and one pull out couch in the living room. Finally, we had no hot water for the shower.

Misleading Unit Description

My sister and I rented Gulf Breeze from 2/18/25-3/4/25. Renters should be aware that the pictures, narrative and list of amenities are misleading. Gulf Breeze is made up of several different units and some of the salient features listed did not actually pertain to our unit. The unit is listed as including a king bed, twin beds and a bathroom and a half. This was not the case. The two bedroom unit that we rented included a king bedroom and a second bedroom with a pull down murphy bed (not comfortable for a two week stay). Instead of a bathroom and a half both bedrooms had access doors to the same full bathroom. In the pictures the unit's kitchen/dining area is shown to be adjacent to a living room area. However, the living room area depicted was closed off in our unit and our living area consisted of only a love seat located 4 feet from the kitchen sink! Amenities included an oven, there was no oven! A grill was shown in the pictures but it is a shared grill between three units and although we were offered it's use it looked as if it had not been cleaned in a long time. Having the fenced in yard was nice and the outdoor patio was pleasant but not kept in tidy condition. The neighborhood was quiet and seemed safe. We discussed these discrepancies with Joseph Bormann's, the host and he seemed to understand why we could have expected something different. He offered us a bottle of wine or champagne to ease our disappointment but could not change our rental arrangement.

Unique home

This vrbo has 3 residency units in one home. We stayed in the bigger unit for 16 days. The furniture is eclectic and well used- it is dog friendly. All the appliances work well. The wifi was off for a few days, but we survived. The grills outside did not work, and the bikes on the front porch are broken. We had a pool table in the front room that was nice, also there is a slot machine and pacman game that one needs quarters and nickels to play. The location is about 1 and a half miles to the beach

New Years Eve Weekend

Overall we had a nice stay. Joseph was very responsive to our calls. The home is lovely with 2 kitchens. He did come over on a holiday when the dish washer wasn’t working. We did need to clean the grill and go buy propane. Joseph did say he would repay us. Location is about a mile to beach but parking was easy.

Mixed feelings about this property

I've stayed at HomeAway properties many times in the past, but this one was different. They've taken what was a house at one point in time and carved it up into multiple units. If the person renting had control over all three of the units (two on main level and one upstairs), then it would probably have been a better arrangement, but noise from the neighbors made it pretty rough. We had the entire downstairs unit so we didn't have to worry about that, but there was a family with kids above us and every morning they would wake us up at 9 with what sounded like elephants stomping and running across the ceiling above our bedroom. I would send the property manager a message every day, and he said he talked to them, but it never fixed the issue. He said that the "treehouse" upstairs is "highly sought after" so be prepared to deal with this if you stay there. Understand that if you book the lower level, it is more like staying at a hotel, where you have noise from the neighbors intruding on your stay. The above aside, the house was pretty nice and well furnished. The oven was broken so we didn't do much cooking there. There were a few things like missing blinds/curtains that the property manager said was a result of the hurricane and they just hadn't prioritized fixing. Weird setups with the TV where you had to tell it to show you movies before you could see TV shows. Strange stuff like that. Also, I'm not sure if it's a Florida thing, but we had several issues with insects while we were there. Lots of roaches and there were ants coming up out of the floor in one of the bathrooms. Most of the other options that would have fit my family were booked while we were in Naples due to Spring Break, so we made due with this place. It wasn't bad, per se, but it didn't compare to many of our other HomeAway experiences either. That's why I gave it 3 stars.

Lack of honesty

Good parts were: the house is close to beach and is spacious. But when we reached home in the evening we realized that both cooking range and grill was not working. Being on vacation we were planning to grill for the dinner. Then the assistant of the homeowner came to check and he mentioned that the cooking range was not working for long time and need to be repaired. When we called the owner about this he initially was telling that there are two microwave ovens and tabletop ovens. That is not what we wanted. So he agreed that we buy a tabletop grill and he will reimburse for that. In the middle of the night we had to go to store and bought one (cost was $74). When we were leaving, we asked about reimbursement and he mentioned he will only reimburse half the price, which was total lack of honesty. We felt bad about that. He had also mentioned he will get the grill ready by next day with technician. No technician showed up even the next day. We enjoyed our stay in Naples . But this lack of honesty was totally unexpected. Also the fact that the owner did not bother to take care of basic cooking appliance for several months was also sad.
