Looking for local advice or experienced STR investor insight Naples (south of Estero)
I’m exploring STR-friendly communities in and around Naples (south of Estero) for a property my family can use part-time and rent on Airbnb/VRBO to help cover costs.
I know about Briarwood allowing sub-30-day rentals, but I’d love to connect with anyone who has insight, suggestions, or firsthand experience with other HOAs or communities that are truly STR-friendly in this area.
If you’ve invested or hosted in Naples or nearby, I’d really appreciate your perspective — feel free to comment here or connect with me directly.

For upscale properties with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, we are observing:
- An average occupancy of 65%, with seasonal peaks between January and April
- Average annualized daily rates of about $450 per night, similar to last year
- Consequently, the top performers are generating around $110K in gross annual revenue
- Average listing price of for-sale properties: $800K
- Rough Rent-to-Price Ratio (RTP): 14%, which is good but not great. I typically look for 15% or higher as a benchmark.
