The architecture in this church is beautiful! We went to mass here on Saturday and the church is beautiful. What a great, welcoming community they have here too. This will be my go-to Church when I am vacationing anywhere in the area.

Visited the art center and viewed an impressive automobile exhibit, the veterans memorial, a beautiful park, art galleries, boutiques, restaurants, people watching and lots of expensive impeccable cars!

Delightful area to walk around in the afternoon. A little less pompous, stuck-up, and pretentious than the 5th Avenue area, but it’s still posh downtown Naples, Florida. Beautifully manicured streets, nice vegetation, a number of historic buildings converted into lively restaurants and bars, and plenty of high-priced boutiques for window-shopping.

Crayton Cove, Naples

Reviewed By rvpeggy63 - Box Elder, United States

My sisters and I had a delicious light lunch in the beautiful outdoor garden seating. Beautiful view of the Dock and a delightful breeze. Then walked down the dock looking at the Charter fishing boats. Pelicans were on the dock waiting for the fishermen to filet the catch and leave scraps on the dock which the pelicans scarfed down. The pelicans were not afraid of people and were not aggressive. Wonderful day and relaxing atmosphere.

Paster Gene always has a sermon that is uplifting and very relevant to every day life. It's always sprinkled with his off the wall humor. Sit on the folding chairs provided or bring your own comfortable chair. Leashed pets are welcomed. Arrive early to enjoy a free pastry and coffee. Worship music is transformed into a reggae island beat. Come and worship and have a good time.

Had dinner on the water and a nice stroll on the City Dock. Fun to walk near the water and check out the boats docked there.
