Luxury Outdoor Living Design in Naples, FL with Private Casita and Cabana

Homeowner Need

These Naples homeowners wanted to unlock the full potential of their backyard and create a true extension of their home. Their vision included a spacious cabana designed for year-round entertaining, along with a separate casita to comfortably host family and guests.

The casita needed to function as a private retreat, complete with a bathroom, kitchenette, and flexible living space that could serve as either a guest suite or recreation room. At the same time, the backyard design centered around the pool and spa, with a dedicated pool bath, changing room, and outdoor shower thoughtfully positioned for convenience.

Ultimately, their goal was to transform the rear of the property into a cohesive, multi-functional outdoor living environment, one that supports entertaining, relaxation, and everyday enjoyment in every season.

Solution

We began by constructing a 900-square-foot cabana designed as a dedicated outdoor living pavilion. At its center is a fully appointed outdoor kitchen equipped with top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, including a built-in Blaze grill with side burner and refrigerator, thoughtfully arranged for optimal workflow. Durable steel cabinetry, finished with sleek, weather-resistant surfaces, provides organized storage, while expansive steel-grey granite countertops in a brushed and polished finish offer generous prep space. An accent wall clad in Rock Ridge slate ledge panels, featuring an electric fireplace, completes the space, blending refined design with everyday functionality. The open layout promotes easy movement and interaction, making the cabana ideal for effortless entertaining.

Our team also designed and built a separate 686-square-foot casita positioned opposite the cabana, creating a private and thoughtfully integrated guest retreat. The well-planned layout maximizes space, natural light, and poolside views, while Chesapeake Oak luxury vinyl plank flooring brings durability and a light, tropical-inspired warmth to the interior.

Double-door entries welcome guests and open directly to the pool deck, creating a seamless indoor–outdoor connection. Inside, the bathroom features a 36-inch Canterbury white undermount vanity topped with Carrara engineered marble, balancing timeless beauty with everyday performance. The spacious shower is appointed with contemporary fixtures and a honed River Gray pebble mosaic floor, enhancing the spa-like atmosphere.

A dedicated pool bath adds a bold design moment, showcasing a striking black vanity set against vibrant palm leaf wallpaper. Sleek finishes and quality fixtures maintain a clean, modern aesthetic while ensuring durability for frequent use.

The outdoor living experience culminates at the heated pool and cascading spa, constructed with high-performance materials suited for the Florida climate. A durable surrounding deck and full screen enclosure provide comfort and protection, allowing for year-round enjoyment without interruption from the elements.

Result

The backyard is now a fully realized private resort, seamlessly blending entertainment, comfort, and functionality. The cabana and casita work together to create a cohesive outdoor living environment that supports everything from intimate family gatherings to large-scale entertaining. With dedicated guest accommodations, a thoughtfully positioned pool bath, and year-round usability built into every detail, the space feels like a natural extension of the home. What was once underutilized is now a refined, multi-functional retreat designed for everyday enjoyment in Naples’ indoor–outdoor lifestyle.
