A week, a month or a season on the water between Naples and Marco Island.
Isles of Capri is where Naples-area visitors go when they want a dock rather than a lobby: furnished homes on the bays and canals, condominiums on the Marco River at La Peninsula, a few waterfront restaurants and the Rookery Bay reserve on every side. We have managed vacation rentals on the islands and know which properties suit which kind of stay.

Isles of Capri - Vacation Rentals
Request the Isles of Capri Rental List
Much of the rental inventory on the islands never reaches a public feed, because owners re-book returning guests privately. Tell us your dates, how many bedrooms you need, whether you want a house with a dock or a condominium on the river, and whether you are bringing a boat, and we will send what is genuinely available.
What a Stay on Isles of Capri Looks Like
Mornings are on the water. Many rental homes have a dock behind the house, the Marco River runs past La Peninsula to Capri Pass and the Gulf, and the shallow bays of the Rookery Bay reserve are known for inshore fishing and paddling; the public Paddlecraft Park on the commercial island launches kayaks and paddleboards. Afternoons are the beaches of Marco Island, ten minutes south, and evenings are the waterfront restaurants on the islands or dinner in Naples or on Marco.
What the islands do not have is density. There are no resort towers, little traffic and not much retail, and the quiet is the point. Guests who want to walk to shops and restaurants every evening will be happier in Olde Naples; guests who want a boat, a view and a slower pace will be happier here.
How Renting Works Here
Because Isles of Capri is in unincorporated Collier County, it follows the County’s rules rather than the City of Naples’ stricter 30-day minimum. Owners who rent for six months or less must hold a state vacation rental license, collect tourist and sales taxes, and register each property with the County, and the registration number must appear in every advertisement. That makes weekly stays possible in some single-family homes. Condominiums are different: each association sets its own rules, and La Peninsula’s published rules allow one rental per 30-day period, so its residences suit monthly and seasonal stays.
In practice, a week in March is possible in the right house, and a month or a season is possible almost anywhere on the islands. Tell us the length of stay you want and we will only send what fits it. Owners can find the full registration process in our guide to Collier County vacation rental registration.
Renting Before You Buy
A season on Isles of Capri is the least expensive way to learn it. You find out whether you want the river or the bays, how the water behaves at the dock at low tide, what the drive to Marco Island’s beaches and to Naples is really like, and whether island quiet is what you wanted. With homes selling at a median of about $1.12 million and La Peninsula residences at about $665,000 over the past two years, it is also one of the most accessible waterfront markets in the Naples area to buy into afterward. Our Isles of Capri guide and La Peninsula guide are the places to start.
Annual Rentals
Unfurnished twelve-month leases on the islands are scarce, because most owners either live here or rent seasonally. If you are looking for an annual lease in this part of Collier County, contact us and we will send what exists, or look at Naples annual rentals more broadly.
Own on Isles of Capri? Let Us Manage Your Vacation Rental
We have managed vacation rentals on Isles of Capri, and Alpizar Property Management handles furnished rentals with an in-house team: County registration and licensing, marketing and guest screening, arrivals and departures, cleaning and maintenance, and the checks between stays that matter most on a waterfront property left empty through the summer. We manage a deliberately small portfolio, work within your association’s rules rather than around them, and keep the rental record a future buyer will ask for. See Alpizar Property Management, or tell us about your property and we will come back with what it should rent for and what a season would look like.

Isles of Capri Vacation Rental Questions
Can I rent a place on Isles of Capri for a week?
Sometimes. Isles of Capri is in unincorporated Collier County, where owners may rent for short stays once the property is registered with the County and licensed by the state, so some single-family homes are available by the week. Condominium associations set their own limits; La Peninsula’s published rules allow one rental per 30-day period, so its residences suit stays of a month or more.
When should I book an Isles of Capri rental?
For January through April, several months ahead and ideally a year, since many owners re-book the same guests every season. November, December and May are easier to secure, and summer is the quietest and most flexible time on the islands.
Can I bring or keep a boat during my stay?
Many rental homes have a private dock, and some La Peninsula residences come with the use of a slip, but it varies by property, and depth at the dock at low tide matters around the islands. Tell us the length and draft of your boat when you enquire and we will match it to properties that can take it.
How far is Isles of Capri from the beach?
About ten minutes by car to the beaches of Marco Island and about twenty to downtown Naples and the Naples Pier. The islands themselves face the Marco River and the Rookery Bay reserve rather than the open Gulf, which is why they are quiet.
Can I rent on Isles of Capri before I buy?
Yes, and it is a sensible way to learn the islands before buying on them. Tell us when you enquire that you may buy, and we will steer you toward residences and streets worth owning on, and show you what is quietly available while you are here. The rental terms do not change.
Rental rules summarized here reflect Collier County’s short-term vacation rental ordinance and La Peninsula’s published rules; association rules and County requirements change, so confirm current terms for a specific property before booking or buying. Sales figures are compiled from Naples Area Board of Realtors MLS data, September 1, 2024 through September 24, 2026.
