A Dream Come True Guest House

My wife and I have stayed in many B and B's over the last twenty-five years. The accomodations provided by our host and hostess were top of the line. We had everything we could have ever needed, including wonderful breakfast each morning. In addition, Bob was most helpful in providing information to the greater Naples area. And he was right on. We would recommend this wonderful facility to all.

Truly, this is like staying with family.......maybe better. Bob and Colleen certainly are welcoming hosts, provide every convenience needed to ensure a satisfying stay. Breakfasts? Could be a problem if you are watching your waste line. The location was perfect for our needs.

My husband's mom died & we came down to spread her ashes. It was a hard time for us. Bob & Colleen made it easier for us! They were very accomodating & thoughtful. The gluten-free breakfasts were excellent! We had enough hot water for our showers. The photos do not capture how beautiful their home truly is! I was able to do my exercise dvd in the living room. They made us breakfast a half hour earlier so we would not miss our flight. What more could you ask for? We were treated like family! We would only want to stay here if we came back to Naples!

My husband and I stayed just one night at Dream Come True because it was booked all other nights during our visit in Florida. The home was clean, the innkeepers were the nicest people, and the breakfast was creative and delicious. I usually do not ask for recipes (and forgot to) but I think I will email and try to get it. It was delicious. The innkeepers were so kind to give us so much information about the area, the Everglades, and a great Brazilian restaurant just down the street. We would stay again!

If you look a place to stay in peace with yourself, THIS IS THE PLACE.Bob and Collen are adorable, the room are spacious, clean and you have time to just relax. You can hear just the birds and the wind dancing with the trees... Perfect getway...

Bob and Colleen are great hosts. Made us feel comfortable, met all of our needs. We were able to come and go as we wanted. Rooms are very nice, comfortable beds. I recommend this B&B to everyone, and we will stay there again!

We enjoyed our entire experience at A Dream Come True Guest House. The home, common areas and rooms were well decorated, comfortable and inviting. Our hosts were pleasant, very knowledgable about the area and provided us with ample recommendations for local dining and other activities. The breakfast was excellent as well, and nicely presented. Will stay again if in the area, and will recommend to friends.

We stayed at A Dream Come True for one night. The Rossomandos are very friendly folks from the Northeast as we are. Their place is in a residential neighborhood which I personally liked. No old hotel smell. They took care of every detail right down to antacid tablets in the the bathroom cabinet. They gave us some good ideas for dinner. My only minor issue was that I could hear owner get ready for work. It has an open floor plan with tile floors. However the lovely grounds, well appointed furnishing and friendly atmosphere far outweigh that minor negative.

When we told other wedding guest of our fine treatment and the gourmet breakfasts envy was rampant. Our stay was THE HIGHLIGHT of the weekend .

"A Dream Come True" combines the best of Naples : charming decor, relaxing pool area, perfect hospitality and yummy breakfast.

Lush vegetation; Colorful flowers; Spacious living area, the most gracious hospitality from Bob & Colleen.

My wife and I had quite a problem finding the house. Bob was very courteous and helpful when I phoned him to say that we were completely lost. We feel that with the addition of a few words in the directions saying that the next turn was 9 miles away will help others find it easier. Bob & Colleen gave us a very friendly welcome when we arrived but we were very surprised to be asked to pay for our room as soon as we walked in. We were shown to our room which was exceptionally clean and very spacious. There were a number of complimentary toiletries available. We were only staying one night so would have appreciated a suitcase stand sturdy enough to take at least one of our cases as the stand supplied looked rather flimsy. There was no tea & coffee making facilities in the room but a pot of tea was willingly supplied on request. Because we had arrived later than expected we did not go out to dinner but consoled ourselves with the thought of the "hearty breakfast" that was to follow in the morning, Breakfast was in fact our biggest disappointment as it consisted of a small bowl of fresh fruit, a slice of cake each and 2 pancakes with syrup, although more pancakes were offered if required. Where-ever we found accommodation after that we were offered cereals, yoghurts, bread ,waffles etc which is the kind of selection we were expecting.

We encourage our guests to communicate their concerns during their visit since our priority is to make all guests comfortable and happy. In response to the guests’ directions concerns, although our website gives detailed directions, our guests missed the turn off. It should be noted we emailed the guests several times discussing directions as well as offering scenic points of interest along the route. We apologize for not giving clearer directions over the phone once the guests were lost. It is common practice for hotels and B&B’s to require payment upon arrival when credit cards are not used. We, currently, do not accept credit cards. We thank the guests for their suggestions regarding the luggage racks. They were updated after their visit. The most surprising comment in the guests’ review was their dissatisfaction with the breakfast. Other guest’s comments have been “wonderful”, “delicious”, “way too much food” as seen by other reviews listed here. Our breakfasts consist of a cup (~5-8ozs) of fresh fruit, homemade breads, and a variety of egg or bread based entrees. We provide a generous portion for the average person with additional quantities available on the table. We usually have leftovers. In this case, the guests opted to skip dinner after a long flight from Europe. We think it is unfair to judge a meal’s quality under these circumstances

We stayed at a Dream Come True last month and had a wonderful time!!! We enjoyed meeting other guests and the wonderful hospitality of Colleen and Bob. We were served fresh fruit and a fantastic full breakfast poolside over looking palm trees. We prefer their location as it is quiet yet only 15 to 20 minutes from downtown. The bed was also very comfortable which is also important to us. I am a registered nurse so I appreciated how immaculate it was as well. We recommend this to anyone who appreciates the finer things in life.

We had a pleasant stay at A Dream Come True Guest House. Our hostess, Colleen was very gracious. The pool is lovely but isn't heated, burrr. The breakfast is enjoyable but the the serving time could be more flexible. The location is 30 to 40 minutes away from downtown Naples which makes things quite inconvenient.

In our opinion, part of the B&B experience is the fellowship of other travelers at breakfast. We are a small B&B (only 3 rooms), so we elected to have a reasonable, fixed time for breakfast to enable all of the guests to enjoy that time together. We try to meet the special needs of our guests, as witnessed by the other reviews listed, here. This particular guest chose to play tennis early each morning, dealing with rush hour traffic in downtown Naples. We made him a special full hot breakfast an hour and a half earlier than our normal breakfast time during the ten (10) days he stayed with us. As it clearly states in our site, we are in the country approximately 8 miles from downtown Naples. We offer the peace and quiet of being on 5 acres in the country while being only 20 minutes from downtown Naples not the 30-40 minutes that he stated. Our B&B is located in North Naples. This location is growing and offers activities and dining within 2-5 miles from our B&B. Our pool is currently not heated. In the winter, the temperature of the pool is about the same temperature as the Gulf of Mexico. That temperature can be in the upper 60’s which is warmer than the Atlantic off of Cape Cod in the summer. People swim in the Gulf and people have swum in our pool. With over 100 guests visiting our B&B in the short time we have been in business, no other guest has complained about the non-heated pool. This guest could have elected to stay in the hotel where he played tennis each morning. He could have swum in their heated pool and paid 4 times the price of our B&B without breakfast but he chose the greater value of our B&B. We, of course, are sorry our guest was not pleased with some of his experiences in our B&B but we feel we responded well to his many other requests.

We spent a week at A Dream Come True and were delighted with this lovely B and B. Bob and Colleen Rossomando were perfect hosts, attentive to every wish and making us feel that we were truly welcome. The spacious and beautifully appointed house is immaculate, and it is in a quiet, attractive area. We enjoyed being out of the center of Naples because of the peace and quiet; also restaurants are significently less expensive there than those in town. That did mean however that we had to drive to any restaurant or tourist destination. Colleen and Bob urged us to use the living room, the charming lanai, and their TV, and they offered help in everything from accommodating my food allergies to giving us tips on every site of interest in the area. The only suggestion I have for the rooms is there might be a small area appropriate for reading or computer use. Also, it is important that guests be sensitive to others, because conversation does travel between rooms, but we had absolutely no problems in that regard.

We stayed for three days in the peaceful oasis created by Bob and Colleen. They not only make you feel at home, they literally give you a home in Naples. With access to their pool, their lanai and the great room in addition to your room, there is plenty of space to relax - something they will remind you to do!! We enjoyed Bob's perfectly prepared breakfasts (and he graciously catered to personal needs like vegatarian or gluten free...). We also enjoyed their site-seeing recommendations. They are warm and welcoming hosts and have thought of everything including the beach towels you forgot to pack. We already booked for next year!!
