Yes. Edgewater Beach Hotel is located directly on the Gulf in Naples, with seven miles of white-sand beach just steps from the hotel.

Getting Here & Transportation
Edgewater Beach Hotel is located at 1901 Gulf Shore Boulevard North in Naples, Florida, directly on the Gulf and approximately 2.5 miles from downtown Naples. The location combines a quiet beachfront setting with convenient access to the restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and entertainment of 5th Avenue South and Third Street South.
Naples Airport (APF) is approximately 6.4 miles from Edgewater Beach Hotel, while Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) near Fort Myers is approximately 32 miles away and is the primary commercial airport for many visitors to Naples.

Accommodations
Edgewater Beach Hotel offers spacious one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites with Naples, Gulf, and beachfront views.

Direct Booking Benefits
Yes, booking directly on Edgewater Beach Hotel’s website always gives you confidence you’re getting the best value. Many online travel agencies (OTAs) may advertise what looks like a lower rate, but that’s often because they don’t show associated fees upfront. Once the OTAs factor those in (usually at the last step in the booking process), the cost typically matches (or is more than) what you’d pay by booking direct – except without the benefits that come with booking straight from the source.
There are several advantages you miss out on when you don’t book direct, including:
- Exclusive Offers – When you book through our website, you unlock exclusive offers you won’t see on third-party sites. These specials add extra value to your stay, from savings on longer getaways and seasonal promotions to curated experiences you won’t find anywhere else.
- Access to More Availability/Room Types – There are limits on the inventory sold through online travel agencies, so when you book directly, you’ll find the widest availability and most access to every room type – making it easier to choose the perfect fit for your stay.
- True Customer Service – From booking to checkout, you’ll work directly with the people who know the property best. Our concierge and front-desk staff can tailor recommendations, handle special requests, and anticipate your needs to ensure every detail of your getaway is seamless, stress-free, and exactly the experience you’re looking for. OTAs will never do that.
Absolutely. When you book direct, any changes or cancellations are handled quickly and personally by our hotel team or our dedicated Opal Collection reservations team – no middleman, no hassle. With OTA reservations, adjustments have to go through large centralized call centers that manage thousands of properties, which often means longer wait times and less flexibility.
When booking online, always pay attention to the search results – and be on the lookout for scammy imitation sponsored ads from OTAs. Make sure the link points to the hotel’s official domain (opalcollection.com/edgewater) or booking engine (reservations.opalcollection.com/edgewater), not a third-party site. And, when in doubt, start at the hotel’s homepage or call the property.
