If January is when Naples’ season begins, February is when it hits its stride. The days get a little warmer, the calendar fills with golf, art, and seafood, and the whole town is at its liveliest. It’s also among the first months to fill for winter rentals — which is worth knowing before you start planning. Here’s what to expect.
February Weather in Naples
February warms steadily from start to finish. The National Weather Service’s 30-year normals for Naples show daily highs climbing from about 76°F at the start of the month to 79°F by the end, with overnight lows moving from the mid-50s toward 60°F. It’s also one of the driest months of the year: normal rainfall for all of February is only about an inch and a half.
The Gulf is still brisk, averaging in the mid-60s, so February is more of a beach-walk and sunset month than a long-swim month. If time in the water matters to you, ask us which homes have a heated pool. For the full year at a glance, see our guide to Naples weather through the year.
What’s On in February 2027
- Chubb Classic — February 12–14. The PGA Tour Champions come to Tiburón Golf Club’s Black Course. It’s an easy tournament to watch up close, and a good excuse to book your own rounds that week — our list of the top public golf courses in Naples will get you started.
- Valentine’s Day — Sunday, February 14. Sunset on the beach, dinner on Fifth Avenue South or Third Street South. Restaurants book up early in season, so reserve ahead. We have more ideas in our Valentine’s Day guide.
- Naples National Art Fair — February 19–21. The 48th annual fair brings artists from around the country to Cambier Park in downtown Naples. There’s a $10 suggested donation. (Details from Naples Art Institute.)
- Everglades Seafood Festival — February 19–21. A long-running small-town festival in Everglades City, about 45 minutes southeast of Naples: fresh seafood, live music, and a look at Old Florida.
- Stone crab season, all month. The season runs October 15 through May 1, so February is prime time to order them chilled with mustard sauce.
Why February Books First
February sits at the center of season, and it’s among the first months to fill. Most communities in Naples require a 30-day minimum stay in winter, and in our own booking data about 58% of January–March monthly stays are booked by November 1, 69% by December 1, and 80% by New Year’s Day. The details are in our 2027 Naples Season Report.
What that means in practice: if February is your month, call us now rather than later. And if the home you want is already taken for February, ask about January. The weather is similar, and this year we’re offering 20% off select homes for new January bookings — call (239) 206-3375 and mention code JAN20. Our guide to Naples in January covers what that month is like.
Where to Stay in February
With the town at its busiest, location matters more than any other time of year. Olde Naples puts the beach, the pier, Cambier Park, and Fifth Avenue all within walking distance, so you can leave the car parked. Park Shore and Vanderbilt Beach offer Gulf views with quick access to shopping and dining. Golfers often choose Treviso Bay. Our seasonal rental cost guide shows what each area typically runs for a month.
