Experience the enchantment of Naples as we say goodnight to magical sights, places and adventures that make this tropical paradise so unique 

and endearing.

Patsy Stiles Burkhart’s lifelong love of Naples began at the young age of eight when a family vacation brought her to this magical place of sun and surf, away from the Michigan cold. Captivated by its beauty, the family returned again and again, building on new adventures to create a treasure chest of wonderful memories. 

Patsy is a graduate of Interlochen Arts Academy where she studied creative writing. She taught inner city elementary children and worked with children who had learning disabilities. After receiving a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology, she became a clinical therapist focusing on women and family issues.

She resides with her husband in Naples, Florida and Traverse City, Michigan.
