Gracious hospitality for over fifty Years!

The Vanderbilt Beach Resort has been welcoming guests for over fifty years. We were the first hotel on Vanderbilt Beach and three generations of the Moore family have been operating the hotel since 1968. We take the hospitality business very seriously and commit to making your stay as relaxing and pleasant as possible. Many of our guests return every year after staying with us for the first time. It is not uncommon for our guests to make lifelong friends while staying at the resort – with both the staff and other guests. The Resort is simply that type of place – small, friendly and relaxing.

We take a great deal of pride in our property. The Resort is located on Vanderbilt Beach on the Gulf of Mexico. Vanderbilt Beach is known for its quiet relaxed atmosphere and its beautiful sunsets. Palm trees and native vegetation adorn our grounds and we provide beach chairs and towels for our guests. Directly across the street from the beach is Vanderbilt Lagoon, which is a quiet lagoon with boat docks and access to the Gulf of Mexico through Wiggins Pass. At the Resort you can enjoy sunning yourself on the beach, shelling, fishing, tennis, or simply reading under the palms.

When we started the Turtle Club Restaurant on the grounds of the Resort five years ago, we sought to establish a beachfront restaurant where our customers could enjoy the finest wines and seafood coastal cuisine in a casual and relaxed atmosphere. The Restaurant has exceeded our expectations and is one of the most popular restaurants in Naples. Our core menu consists of dishes that incorporate the best of the variety of seafood that is available from our local waters in the Gulf of Mexico, along with the finest beef and poultry and our weekly specials menu consists of unique dishes that incorporate seasonal or hard to acquire seafood, beef and poultry. At the Turtle Club Restaurant, our guests can enjoy our idyllic natural surroundings, excellent food and wine, and warm and gracious service without even leaving the property.

Our overall philosophy is that if you treat all guests and patrons with gracious hospitality they will have a pleasant relaxing stay and return year after year. This philosophy has been the source of the Resort's success for the last fifty years. We hope that you will come and stay with us soon and experience it first hand.
