Naples- Briarwood Estates all new 4BR/3 BA, sleeps 10, vacation rental

This was a lovely home. Very clean with everything you could need. The host was easy to contact and we had no problems at all!

We really enjoyed this spacious house with our young grandchildren. The private heated pool was wonderful and a big hit. The doors all have safety locks to secure pool overnight. We enjoyed dining outside with handy gas grill. We played many family games poolside. House is located in a gated neighborhood that includes 2 additional pools, tennis, pickleball, basketball and a playground all in walking distance. The location is ok to Naples Saturday Farmers Market , a day at the beach, Naples zoo, numerous parks, groceries. The bedroom suites are isolated nicely: Large King Suite; two Queens and full bath; king bedroom and queen bedroom with full bath. We all had lots of room. The appliances were great, lots of dishes. It was a fun stay.

Property was great and we had a wonderful time with our family. The only problem was when we arrived the house hadn’t been cleaned. The cleaner came the following morning and did a good job of cleaning, but this resulted in my husband and I having to change linens, clean bathrooms and the kitchen and pile dirty linens in the laundry area. We were refunded the cleaning fee. We realize mistakes happen but it kind of put a damper on our arrival.

We’ve rented in Briarwood before and love the community and location. This home was very nice but unfortunately we had some issues. We rented in July with 90+ degrees temps and we had several really uncomfortable nights with house temperature in upper 80s. It took the property manager almost 5 hours to respond to my message and voicemail. The service guy came out the next day and said the system was overtaxed and there was nothing they could do. Seemed odd to me because we didn’t have this cooling problem in the other home. I called the property manager but she said that’s just the way it was. The house was clean but must have been vacant for a while because when we arrived we found a number of dead cockroaches around the house. I get this is a normal problem in Florida but it would have been nice had someone done a walkthrough before we came. The layout and bedrooms were great but unfortunately the east facing bedroom had an arched window with no window covering so sun woke us up pretty early. We loved the pool. I’d stay in Briarwood again but would probably look for another house.
