Rented through timeshare. Great location on the bay, only a couple of blocks from the posh shops of 3rd and 5th and an easy bike ride to the beach. Lush grounds in the back of the condos, short walk to the pool. Adjacent on one side to a marina and the other side to a park/boat ramp area. Hwy 41 is a couple of blocks away & has all of the restaurants, grocery stores, Wal Mart, etc.

Looks like this used to be an apartment complex the way it is set up. Only con is there is only parallel parking in front of the rooms. One lane & one parking lane. Tiered steps from parking to the 1st floor units. Fortunately we were on the 1st floor b/c there are no elevators for 2nd or 3rd floors! There is "regular" parking at the end of the complex if you're not a parallel parker (like me).

Units extremely clean and roomy- we had 2 adults and 2 kids. King in master with ample closets/drawers and cramped bath (no room for 2 at a time). 2nd bedroom with 2 twins and regular size closet and bath. B/c of the setup, the spare bath is actually roomier than the master! Apt size washer/dryer worked well. Bar area stocked with sink, glasses, etc. Kitchen nice size & includes seated bar. Kitchen table seated 6.

Pool never overcrowded b/c there is so much to do around there, everyone seemed to be away most of the time. Not a huge pool but large enough. Didn't get anything at the tiki hut, but it seemed nice even though a bit pricey. ($10 for burger plate)

Enjoyed the free dvds in the office. Didn't use the complimentary fishing equipment, beach chairs or coolers but they looked nice. The bikes were WONDERFUL-new, nice & helmets were very clean. The biking there is incredible b/c you are so close to Tin City and the 3rd and 5th shops. We biked to the city pier and walked around & it was wonderful! (perfect spot for sunsets- BTW) The free bikes save a lot of $.

WARNING- all beaches cost $. We thought we found a free parking space at one beach & got a $30 parking ticket. Just b/c there isn't a meter doesn't mean it's free.

Took day trip to Sanibel Island for shelling, another day to Everglades City for alligator spotting, and the Naples Zoo another day.

Was afraid not being 'on the beach' was going to be a bummer but it wasn't at all. Being in this neighborhood area was incredibly quiet and relaxing. The manors/mansions along the Gulf were breathtaking. It reminded us of Beverly Hills on the beach. We'll be back to Naples!

I've been an owner at The Charter Club since 1984. It is an amazing place with some flaws. Overall your experience will be wonderful. It is NOT the place for rowdy kids. It is the place if your looking to have a nice spot at the pool and relax for a week. It's close to everything and Olde Naples is the place to be, still has that feel of what Naples was like until the past 20 years. The resort is older and doesn't have a gym on site. BUT it does have wonderful units that have full kitchens, two full baths, master bed room, guest room w/ two beds and a hida-a-way sleeping couch. Start your day off by walking on the beach, go to breakfast at Jane's on 3rd OR Cove Inn, poolside until 2, shopping after that then an awesome dinner at about 100 places in town! That describes your perfect day in paradise. Staff will help with whatever you need.

it was as good as we had hoped.
thought we would book for its location but got even more.
you can walk to 5th and 3rd for great restaurants,which is rare in USA.
Staff ever so helpful and facilities first class.
Beach and Pier are 1000 metres away and the sea is beautiful
great place to stay for all the right reasons

We have visited the Charter Club two years in a row and were not disappointed. While the decor is slightly worn, the rooms were very clean and comfortable. Staff were courteous, friendly and very helpful. The boat trip watching the dolphins was lots of fun. We enjoyed the sunsets on the ocean which was a short drive.
