Big group beach trips usually force a choice: cram everyone into one house and hope the walls are thick, or scatter across hotel rooms and lose the point of traveling together. Loblolly Cottages is the third option. Five cottages on one quiet lakeside property in Naples Park, booked all together, so up to 26 people share a vacation without sharing a hallway.
The math works out simply. Four two-bedroom cottages each sleep six, with a queen in one room and a pair of double beds in the other, and the Starfish studio adds a queen for two. That covers a reunion's worth of parents, kids, and grandparents, a few families traveling as one, or a team in town for a tournament weekend. Every cottage has its own private entrance, its own full kitchen, and its own patio, so mornings run on five different schedules and nobody waits for a bathroom that isn't theirs.
Inside, the cottages all run on the same easy logic: an open living and dining room, a full kitchen with a Keurig for the morning, smart TVs, Wi-Fi, and an iron and ironing board tucked away in each unit. The four two-bedroom cottages add dedicated workspaces for anyone quietly stretching the trip into a work week, and the Starfish studio holds the property's one dishwasher, a fair perk for the smallest unit. Bathrooms come with walk-in showers, and there's shared laundry on site for sandy towels and long stays.
The lake is the property's quiet centerpiece. It sits just past the grass out back, and evenings tend to migrate outside without anyone deciding they should. Fire pit tables anchor the patios at Seaturtle and Fisherman's Cottages, four of the five patios have grills, and there's enough outdoor seating for dinner to sprawl across more than one doorstep. Beach days come pre-packed too: the property carries ten beach chairs, four umbrellas, and five coolers, so the first morning starts on the sand instead of at a rental counter. Off-street parking holds five cars, one per cottage, and dogs are welcome in every unit.
Naples Park is the neighborhood that makes the rest effortless. The property sits on the quiet grid between Vanderbilt Beach and Mercato, which puts the Gulf about five minutes west and Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park, one of the best stretches of sand and shelling on this coast, just up the road. Mercato's restaurants, shops, and grocery are about a mile away, close enough that dinner never needs a plan. Downtown Naples and Fifth Avenue South are a straightforward 20-minute drive south, golf and pickleball are everywhere in this corner of Florida, the Paradise Coast Sports Complex is about 20 minutes out for tournament weekends, and RSW airport is roughly 30 minutes, keeping travel days short at both ends.
Please note: Loblolly Cottages is a multi-unit property offered here as a full buyout of all five cottages. Each cottage has its own private entrance and patio. Laundry facilities are shared, and off-street parking accommodates five vehicles, one per cottage. Fire pit tables are located at Seaturtle and Fisherman's Cottages, and the Starfish studio has the property's only dishwasher.
