Naples home sparks controversy among neighbors

CORRECTION: Earlier this month, we told you about a home in Naples Park with a colorful exterior. In that story we reported there “is an association for the neighborhood but so far no one has asked the owners to change anything.” Officials with the Naples Park Area Association tell WINK News the association hasn’t received any official complaint about the property. County records show Collier County did receive one complaint last year about the outside painting but a county inspector found no code violation and closed the case.

We also reported the homeowners declined our request for an on-camera interview because they “didn’t feel camera ready.” We want to make clear the homeowners told us they could not do an interview at the time we asked but said they would sit down with us for an on-camera interview a few days later. We regret the error.

NAPLES, Fla. A home in Naples Park doesn’t look quite like the others.

Sparkly statues, a brightly painted mural, lawn gnomes and a light show can be seen at the home on the 100 block of Avenue North.

The neighborhood association has not asked the owners to change the decor, according to neighbors.

“We have an association, yes, but they haven’t said anything about it and its been a year, so I guess people don’t mind it,” nearby resident Leonora Coleman said. “People stop by, take pics of it, people on bikes just stare at it.”

The homeowners continue to add new features to their property, according to neighbors.
