If your Naples home sits empty for part of the year, a trusted home watch service in Naples, FL is the difference between catching a small problem early and coming back to a costly one. Sunstate Home Watch makes scheduled, in-person inspections of your seasonal home — from Old Naples and Port Royal to Pelican Bay, Park Shore, the Moorings, Aqualane Shores, and out to Marco Island — and sends you timestamped photo reports after every visit.
You bought in Southwest Florida for the sunshine, the Gulf, and the lifestyle. You shouldn't have to spend your summer in Minnesota, Toronto, or Stockholm wondering whether the AC is still running or whether last night's storm left water under your front door. We watch the house so you don't have to worry about it.
Naples is one of the most beautiful places in the country to own a second home — and one of the harder climates on an unoccupied house. The same heat, humidity, and Gulf storms that make summers here intense are exactly what go to work on a home with nobody inside it.
A closed-up home in a Naples summer can climb past 90 percent indoor humidity if the AC fails. That's all mold needs. Florida mold remediation routinely runs $2,000 to $10,000 or more — and it can spread for weeks before anyone notices.
A failed water heater, a cracked supply line, or a backed-up A/C condensate drain can release water for days. The average water damage restoration bill is around $3,800, and unattended leaks are often far worse.
Gulf-front and near-water homes in Naples and on Marco Island take the brunt of wind-driven rain and surge. After a storm, someone needs to be on-site quickly to spot a lifted shingle, a breached window, or standing water — before it becomes structural.
Waterfront living is the dream in Naples — but canal, bayfront, and Gulf-front homes face higher humidity, salt exposure, and storm risk than anything inland. That's exactly the kind of property a weekly set of eyes protects best.
We're not a security camera and we're not an app. We're a licensed, bonded, and insured home watch company run by a real person — founder Torbjörn — who treats your home the way he'd treat his own. Every week (or on the schedule you choose) we walk your property inside and out, looking for the small warning signs that turn into big claims.
If something's wrong, you don't get a buried line in a report — you get a phone call from a real person, and we coordinate the repair so a small issue never becomes a disaster. See the full Sunstate Home Watch service or review our Florida vacant home checklist before you leave for the season.
Here's what most seasonal homeowners don't realize: your insurance can quietly work against you when the house is empty. Many Florida policies limit or void coverage after roughly 30 to 60 days of vacancy, and insurers regularly deny claims for "gradual" damage or "neglect" — the slow leak, the creeping mold — arguing the homeowner should have caught it sooner.
Regular, documented home watch inspections are your defense. Our timestamped photo reports create a clear record that the home was being checked and maintained, which can be the difference between a paid claim and a denied one. It's not just peace of mind. It's protecting the asset and the policy that backs it.
Torbjörn personally calls you when something needs attention. You always know who is in your home and what they found.
Timestamped photos in a clean dashboard you can check from anywhere — proof of inspection your insurer respects.
We serve owners in English, Spanish, and Swedish, and we know Naples — the neighborhoods, the HOAs, and the climate.
We coordinate access however you're most comfortable — a key, a lockbox, a smart lock code, or gate access through your community. Keys are stored securely and access is logged, and we're fully bonded and insured for your protection.
You get a phone call from Torbjörn directly — not a generic email. We document the issue with photos, talk you through your options, and coordinate trusted local repair professionals so it's handled fast, even while you're a thousand miles away.
We cover Naples and the surrounding area — including Old Naples, Port Royal, Aqualane Shores, the Moorings, Park Shore, Pelican Bay, Pelican Marsh, Vineyards, Grey Oaks, and out to Marco Island — plus Bonita Springs, Fort Myers, and Cape Coral. If you're near the Gulf or on a canal, we're built for exactly that.
Most owners choose weekly inspections, but we can tailor the schedule to your home and your insurance requirements. Plans start at $99/month, and your first inspection is completely free so you can see the reports before you commit.
Ideally before you head north. Starting service as you leave means we catch anything that develops the moment the house goes empty, and you have documented inspections in place from day one of vacancy.
Your first inspection is free — no contract, no pressure. See exactly how Sunstate protects your seasonal home in Naples, FL.
