Naples Island Vacation Rental Management

Our management fee is percentage-based — we only earn when you earn, with no upfront costs. Because every home and owner has different needs, we share exact pricing after a short consultation once we understand your property, goals, and scope of service. Interior styling is offered as a separate service when it's the right fit.

Naples Island is one of the stronger short-term rental neighborhoods in Long Beach, driven by coastal demand, walkability, and a year-round leisure and remote-work guest mix. Actual earnings depend on bedrooms, outdoor space, styling, and pricing strategy, so we prepare a tailored revenue projection after reviewing your home — not a generic estimate.

Yes. The City of Long Beach requires short-term rentals to be registered, and operators must collect and remit Transient Occupancy Tax. Non-primary STR permits are capped citywide, so compliance is important to protect your ability to operate. We handle the permit and tax workflow on your behalf.

Absolutely. Many of our owners live outside Long Beach, across California, or outside the state entirely. Because our team is based directly in Belmont Shore, we act as your hands on the ground — handling every guest issue, turnover, and maintenance coordination locally so distance is never a factor.

Listing creation and optimization across Airbnb, VRBO, and direct bookings; dynamic pricing; guest screening and communication; professional turnovers and restocking; maintenance coordination; STR permit and tax handling; and owner reporting. Interior styling is offered separately when the property benefits from it.

Of course. You retain full access. Just share your dates and we block the calendar accordingly. Many owners use their home for personal getaways during shoulder seasons while letting it earn during peak demand weekends.

Swimming in the canals isn't recommended or common — they're shallow tidal waterways primarily used by kayakers, paddleboarders, and the iconic Gondola Getaway boats. For swimming, Bayshore Beach and the Peninsula ocean beach are both within walking distance.

Naples Island connects to Belmont Shore via two bridges along 2nd Street and Appian Way. Most guests drive in and park on the island. It's also easily walkable from Belmont Shore — about a 5-minute walk across the bridge from 2nd Street dining and shops.

Yes — Gondola Getaway operates authentic Venetian gondola cruises through the Naples Island canals year-round. It's one of Long Beach's most popular attractions and a major reason guests book vacation rentals on Naples Island. Advance reservations are recommended, especially on weekends.

Naples Island is one of the most unique places to stay in all of Southern California. Canal-front properties offer waterfront views, a quiet residential atmosphere, and walking-distance access to Belmont Shore's restaurants on 2nd Street. It's particularly popular for romantic getaways and special occasions.

Naples Island was developed in the early 1900s as a planned community inspired by Naples, Italy. Developer Arthur Parson created the canal system and architectural vision. Today, the island retains its distinctive character with Italian-named streets, arched bridges, and a community that takes pride in maintaining the neighborhood's unique identity.

Naples Island is one of the safest neighborhoods in Long Beach. It's a quiet, residential island community with limited through-traffic and an active neighborhood association. Guests consistently comment on feeling safe walking the island paths day and night.
