Oasis of Naples – Beach & Downtown Haven

Positive: My family of six (four adults and two children) stayed at Tropical Oasis 809 for two weeks. This is a cozy two-bedroom apartment (#809) located in a two-story building that houses eight rental units. There is no reception in the building. The location is fantastic - just a scenic 12-minute walk to both the Central Ave beach and the charming Old Town area (5th Ave). If you prefer to drive, Lowdermilk Park Beach offers convenient public paid parking. The apartment’s kitchen is well-equipped for cooking, although it lacks an electric kettle. Additional amenities include an iron, hair dryer, and access to a shared washing machine and dryer (you’ll receive a code for entry). Each unit also has its own numbered parking spot. There is also an inflatable mattress for two adults stored in the wardrobe. We didn’t use it, but it can be set up in the kitchen area if needed - a useful option for extra guests. While the apartment isn’t brand new and could require a few minor repairs, it was overall comfortable. I do wish the mattresses were more supportive. There is a low-rated review on Booking.com mentioning bugs. On our first day, I found and killed three cockroaches (one large, two small) in different rooms. To be safe, I placed black Combat roach baits, and we didn’t see any other insects after that. As in Miami Beach, large cockroaches are common outdoors and may occasionally find their way inside. When we arrived around 8:30 PM, the AC wasn’t working, but after I messaged the owner, it was fixed within two hours - a prompt and appreciated response. Check-in is straightforward: you’ll receive detailed instructions and a door code one day before your reservation begins. All in all, the apartment offers good value for the price. I’m giving it 10 stars to support the owner.
