Sightseeing
Walk out the front door and take a short 5 minute walk to the canals of Naples Island! Here you will find gorgeous waterfront homes, which are fabulously decorated during the holidays! On warm days, the canals are filled with kayakers, stand up paddlers and electric boats. You can easily rent these water toys nearby and join the fun in the canals! Just a little tip: take your phone and use your map when walking around the islands of Naples. It can be a little tricky to find your way back to the cottage on your first stroll around the canals, but you will surely enjoy getting lost in the beauty of our neighborhood, should that occur! :-)
