We owned 2 homes in Naples, Florida 1990/2014. First was Confo in Villages of Emerald Bay and second for 11 years in Sterling Oaks just south of Bonita Beach Rd. We left in 2014 for Western North Carolina. We had a great run in Naples and made a bunch of $$$$ working and in the sale of both properties. Glad we left before the craziness set in. I do miss Doc's Beach House and the nice beach scenery! All this insurance mess, increase in property taxes( we keep tract) and traffic mess makes us glad to be gone. We do return for 1 week each winter and make sure we get to Michelbobs down by the Airport for baby back ribs. Good luck living in that area today!

Glad you had a good run here in Naples and Bonita Springs, @johnharper2016 !! I I love it here in Southwest Florida. After living in Denver for 25 years, the traffic and taxes in general are unbelievably better here. NC is a fun place to visit. We try to get up there for a week or two each summer. It is really lovely. Best of luck to you!!

You did a great job, I live here in Bonita Springs. It's stunningly beautiful

[@lovethewayyoulivenaples]

Thank you so much @AppleCountyHolmBase1!! I love Bonita Springs and agree that it is so beautiful!! We are all so fortunate to live in Paradise here in SWFL!!

I have to ask, why do you keep using a quick screen shot of the Hollywood Broadwalk while talking about Bonita Springs hahahaha?

[@lovethewayyoulivenaples]

@TJ-qm7wu while I am extremely grateful for my editor (and I truly mean that as editing is a long way from my strong suit), he occasionally makes some errors as he does not live in Paradise like I do!! And unfortunately I don't always catch them all. Thanks for the comment. I will be much more diligent!!

[@TJ-qm7wu]

@@lovethewayyoulivenaples Not the biggest deal. I only caught it for I had a place in Hollywood for a couple years, love the Broadwalk but unfortunately it can attract a lot of rift raft. When I first saw it I was like Bonita Springs has a Broadwalk and was a little excited but realized very quickly it was the Hollywood FL Broadwalk.

@markmorgan6741 it is all relative, right? If you lived up North for years, it can seem pretty hot. Although I lived in the midwest and it gets really hot and sticky there as well!!
