The Vanderbilt Beach Resort - Welcome
Authentic Olde Florida Style Since 1951

The Vanderbilt Beach Resort is an intimate family-owned Naples beachfront hotel. Our atmosphere is relaxed, casual, and reminiscent of the small hotels of Olde Florida without sacrificing the modern amenities that you have come to expect. This off-the-beaten-path hotel is cherished by travelers who value an authentic Florida vacation experience and gracious hospitality.

But be careful! Our hospitality is contagious. Many guests return every year for a fresh dose of relaxation and Olde Florida-style hospitality. You may even make lifelong friends with our staff or other guests. So step away from the stressful everyday world and join us for a relaxed and unique beachfront vacation on the sands of the Gulf of Mexico in sunny Naples, Florida.

The Vanderbilt Beach Resort - Our Story
Three Generations Of Gracious Hospitality!
The Vanderbilt Beach Resort has a rich history of welcoming guests and their families to Naples, Florida. For over sixty years, the family-owned and operated Resort has made its mark on Vanderbilt Beach, just a few steps from the Gulf of Mexico. Since Robert Moore's purchase of the hotel in 1968, when it was the only motel on Vanderbilt Beach, the Moore family has been extending its legendary gracious hospitality to thousands of guests, many of whom have become lifelong friends. Robert's son, Mike Moore, has operated the resort since 1976, and Mike’s son, Mick Moore, now is the third generation of the Moore family to take the reins and continue a long tradition of laid-back hospitality.

Naples has changed since 1968 as it has become a well-known travel destination. But our hotel’s philosophy has remained the same: to allow our guests to relax and recharge, to encourage our quietly friendly staff to get to know our guests in order to serve them better, and to give our guests the opportunity to get to know one another. We believe in extending gracious hospitality to all of our guests, and as a result, many of our guests choose to return year after year.

In a busy world filled with indistinguishable chain hotels and impersonal service, the Vanderbilt Beach Resort remains an oasis of relaxation, and our property reflects our laid back atmosphere. Our lobby is intimate, and all of our rooms open directly to the outdoors so that guests can relax on their porch and enjoy the view or go to and from the beach without having to walk through closed corridors or a fancy lobby. Our rooms are some of the closest to the beach in Naples, which makes it easy to enjoy the beach during the day and our beautiful sunsets at the end of the day. Once you check into the hotel, you choose whether you see our staff again. Your room is your own, and you can come and go as you please without having to walk past the front desk. All of our rooms have a full-size refrigerator, microwave, cooktop, glasses and utensils so that you can make yourself at home. But if you do want to dine out, the best beachfront restaurant in Naples, the Turtle Club, is only steps away, right on our property, and offers fine casual dining on the beach.

The Resort has retained the charm of the Olde Florida of the past -- laid back, unassuming and relaxed – but it belongs squarely in the Florida of today with amenities like wireless internet, fine dining, beach chair and umbrella services, and world class shopping and dining only minutes away. Top it off with courteous friendly service, and you end up with a truly one of a kind resort that everyone can enjoy.

Beautiful White Sand Beach
Vanderbilt Beach stretches approximately five miles along the Gulf of Mexico from Clam Pass to Wiggins Pass. Stroll along the beach, swim or snorkel in the Gulf's gentle waters, sunbathe on the beach, or fish for local snook that school just offshore in the summer. However you choose to enjoy it, the beach is a never ending delight.

Beach Service
Our beach attendants will help you relax with full beach service, including beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, drink tables and drink service on the beach. You may even want to try your hand at our"Ringmaster" Bimini Ring Game to see if you can join the hall of fame.

Stand Up Paddleboard & Watersports
We are one of the best Stand Up Paddleboard destinations in the country! We offer PAU HANA paddleboards for rent right at the hotel so that you can enjoy this new sport and cruise the Gulf with the dolphins or ride its gentle waves. Moreover, we are the only location in Naples where you can rent WAVEJET paddle boards, which include a jet propulsion system on the bottom of the board that allows you to travel at up to 7 mph without even paddling! It is silent, fast and a ton of fun. We can also help you book fishing charters, sailing trips or other water excursions with our water sports business partners. Our beachside hospitality is second to none!

Heated Pool
Our heated swimming pool, situated right next to the beach, is a hit with kids and adults alike. Curl up with a favorite novel in a lounge chair by the pool. In the winter, the pool offers a balmy alternative to the sometimes cooler, winter Gulf temperatures.

We have several cruiser bikes that we offer our guests free of charge. Explore the Vanderbilt Beach or Pelican Bay areas by bike, or take a day trip to the beaches at Wiggins Pass State Park, Clam Pass Park, or Barefoot Beach in Bonita Springs.
