Isles Of Capri (Naples, FL)

Florida offers a bounty of produce in a climate that is warm all year long.  One thing about the summer, a lot of my favorite “haunts” for citrus and tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and peppers close down.  Without the demand of the snow birds coming in for fresh produce, these stands close until November.   What to do, what to do.  I like vine ripe produce and it took me forever to find out the secret of the tomato.   The tomato needs to be vine ripened, not picked when it is green.  Vine ripe tomatoes taste great and are so much better than their picked green cousins that end up on grocery shelves throughout the nation.   There is a little place over on the Isle of Capri that has fresh produce all year long, even in the summer months! Head on down 951 south past the intersection of Route ...

Located on 951 and Isle of Capri Blvd., Naples and Isle of Capri, is a new Paddle Craft Park. This is a launch site for canoes, paddle boards and kayaks.  There are rest rooms and picnic tables, not to mention great access to Rookery Bay Reserve and the Ten Thousand Islands. The public will be able to enjoy peace and quite without the motorized watercraft.

According to the web site, the Rookery Bay Reserve is  located at the northern end of the Ten Thousand Islands on...

Isle of Capri is a little island off of 951 on the way to Marco Island.  The Isle of Capri is often overlooked, one of theses places that folks overlook or think "someday I will stop by there". Yesterday, we stopped at Isle of Capri and had a late lunch at the Capri Fish House.  I had a delicious salad with grilled grouper on top.  I was so hungry, I did not have the opportunity to take a photo of my meal!     My name is Christine O’Shea Broker-Associate with Downing Frye Realty in Naples FL.   I specialize in residential real estate in Naples FL and Marco Island FL which include residential re-sale properties and new construction.  I also handle Naples area residential Short Sales for both buyers and Sellers    There are many Gated Golf Communities in Naples FL featuring both Bundled G...
