Lake Park is where Naples locals live when they want to walk to dinner: a grid of quiet streets between US 41 and the Gordon River, a mile from Lowdermilk Beach one way and Fifth Avenue South the other. This 1973 house has been renovated top to bottom in white, concrete and rattan, and the backyard is the reason to book it: a heated plunge pool with a glass viewing wall, a fire pit under string lights, and a covered lanai with a daybed and TV.
 
Both bedrooms have their own bath, so it works as well for two couples or friends as it does for one.
