My father and I stayed 11 nights in early Feb and we had a great time. Highly recommended. Domenic (the owner) was fantastic and extremely responsive and helpful. The house was very nice and had all we needed (and a lot more!). Clean, spacious, and updated with lots of new appliances. TV had access to thousands of channels, including many international channels (we are Italian). Large backyard, several bikes, and beach essentials (chairs, umbrella, beach towels). My father is 91 and very picky, and he was impressed—cannot give a higher assessment. The Bonita Springs area is low key and quiet. I have visited before, so knew what to expect. Unfortunately, Hurricane Ian hit the Bonita Beach area pretty hard (Domenic’s house had no damage). My favorite state park beaches were closed—Barefoot; Delnor-Wiggins; Lovers Key. Access to the Bonita beach area was also limited. It may take the rest of 2023 to recover. So, we went toward Naples, which has progressed further, like Vanderbilt Beach, Clam Pass, and Lowdermilk Park were all very nice, and we spent most time at Lowdermilk, despite being about 25 minutes away.
There are many nice places to eat close by. Mostly, we would do take out and eat at home, given my father’s age. De Romo’s is a nice Italian market and restaurant, Enzo’s is good. Doug’s seafood is fresh and simple, Aji Limon is great Peruvian, Zorba is half decent Greek, Grandpa’s is NY style pizza.
So, great place and highly recommended. Can’t wait to return!
