Want a piece of paradise, it's closer and more affordable than you think! More and more people are deciding to buy their own piece of paradise down here in Naples. If you love the area and do not want to stay in hotels, then a second home could be for you, can't afford it I hear you say, take into account that your vacation home is only going to be used for short periods of time, so rather than it sit empty for months on end, many owners decide to rent out the second homes as a vacation home. Naples has a season, it runs from December to April, although the height of the season is January to March. During this time Naples comes alive with a huge influx of vacationers, snowbirds, visiting from the cold frozen north.
So, if you're considering a second home, and you're going to visit Naples during the off-season months, then think about renting it out, either for the season or out of season. Think also about purchasing a home in a resort style community, these have wonderful swimming pools, clubhouses, many of them feel like your staying at a luxury resort. One of the main benefits in buying a vacation home in one of these resort style communities is that they are looked after while your away, no cutting the grass, no painting the outside, cleaning the pool or worrying about maintenance. The real estate market here in Naples is really picking up, so if your thinking of buying, now is the time while the prices are still low. Best of all Naples is the perfect place to vacation!
