Our home is your home!
Welcome to The Mango! While my pup Fritzie and I call Ohio home, Naples is a close second home.
I love the beauty of the area, the weather, and the relaxed lifestyle that Naples offers; it draws Fritzie and me back year after year.
I am so thankful for this area, home, and you, our guest. I hope you're able to feel the love and effort I've put into making this home a welcoming and comfortable place for your vacation. We wish you a beautiful beach stay that results in wonderful new memories.

One of the best beachfront restaurants in all of Naples, and it's just a 4-minute drive from the house! The views are incredible, the sunsets spectacular, and the meals delicious. I recommend the Oysters Turtlefeller to start.

Truluck's is fabulous. They offer a daily happy hour in their Stone Crab Lounge and nightly dining service.
Note that Truluck's enforces an upscale dress code, but the food is worth the effort.

Part of the charm of eating at Bricktop's is enjoying Waterside, which is a wonderful outdoor shopping center. I recommend the deviled eggs to start and a glass from the wine list.

This new addition to the Mercato features some of the same dishes served at the 5th Avenue location, a local hit. They've also added new twists and incorporated items fromThe French and Osteria. Bar Tulia offers pasta made in-house and a full bar. I suggest spinach ravioli.
If you prefer the Osteria location, try the crispy pig ears.

Fifth Avenue is a pedestrian-friendly promenade lined with palm trees and storefronts. The area is located in Old
Naples, but it's an easy drive from Vandy Villa. It's a great place to grab a coffee, shop for beachwear, and enjoy gelato. For
a fun experience, book a tea sitting at Brambles English Tea Room.

For The Pups
Most of the beaches in Naples are not dog friendly, but there are a few. My favorite is Lee County Dog Beach located at 14436 Bonita Beach Cswy, Bonita Springs, FL. It is an off-leash beach. Be sure to bring water!
