Terry,
Unfortunately, to do a short term rental in any area would require the zoning in that area or community to allow for "short term" rentals. You will not be able to find this if what you are looking for is nightly rentals. Also most condominium communities in Naples do not allow weekly or short term monthly rentals.
In the winter months, Naples is full up with all the "snowbirds" who come here to roost to get away from the snow up north. So Naples would not be a good area for what you are looking to do. The best place you need to look are resort areas that allow this and are zoned accordingly.
Fort Myers Beach allows for this and there are several condos along three miles of beach to choose from. I have taken pictures of quite a few and the square footage ranges from 600 sq. ft. to almost 2000 sq. ft.,
ranging from 250K to over 1.2 mil.
Orlando would also be perfect. There are very many areas especially on the countries best golf courses that allow for short term, nightly and short monthly rentals that are 7 minutes from the theme park and 40 minutes away from the beaches and may be exactly what you are looking for.
Please contact me for the locations of these rare finds.
Also, just because you are Canadian does not mean you have to be financed as a "Foreign National" and be subject to high rates. I am a licensed Mortgage Broker and I have a program designed for second homes and investment properties (including condotels) with rates lower than the current prime rate. (From 3.97% today's published rates 7/15/2008) Please contact me if this interests you or if you have any more questions regarding this subject.

Hi Terry
If your looking for an investment Naples/Marco Island is the place to be. But, buyers need to seek out realtors who specialize in finding deals. With the amoubt of short sales, foreclosures, excessive builder products and just owners anxious to sell there is a lot of information to look through. Property history, time on market and motivayion of the seller. With investment property if makie your money the day you close on the property. The people who bought expecting huge profits in the future got in trouble. When the market drops you need a cushion, thats why you attempt to buy below the current market. I hope this helps. In Naples the price range for golf/ gulf can be from 500000 to 5 million

Hi Terry,

Apollo Beach has both golf and waterfront from the 500's up.

Mon Feb 18 2008, 09:23

Terry,
You are talking about very different products (Golf Vs. The Gulf)...so the price range for those varies as well. We have a community here in Naples that is beach style, on the bay, and offers a short terms managed rental program (1 week minimum). These properties can be had in the $600's up. Look for furnished properties that have been on the market for a while for the best deal. Some of them actually have tenants already in place, so you would have immediate rental income when you close on the property.

Check this one out below at my website...
