The home is surrounded by natural mangrove forests and is right in between 2 bodies of water: the Gulf of Mexico and the Fish Trap Bay.

The Space:
Upon entering the home, you'll find a main hallway leading to the family room, kitchen, laundry room, and main bedroom. With cozy seating, lovely views, and a card/game table, the family room is a great place to unwind. The adjacent dining set for eight seamlessly connects to the well-appointed kitchen, complete with tall ceilings, a large center island, dual ovens, stainless steel appliances, and a glass cooktop. The laundry room provides convenience and also offers access to the ground level.

Retreat to the main bedroom, featuring a comfortable King bed, abundant natural light, and ample storage space. The spacious main bathroom boasts a pedestal sink, glass-enclosed shower, and a large frosted glass window that adds brightness to the space.

On the opposite side of the home, you'll find the second and third guest rooms, sharing a well-appointed full-sized bathroom. The second bedroom offers a wall-mounted TV, ceiling fan, and cozy seating, while the third bedroom features a Queen bed, ceiling fan, ample storage, and a comfortable layout. The second bathroom offers a single vanity and a convenient shower and tub combination.

Situated in the heart of Bonita Beach, you'll have easy access to all the attractions, including pristine beaches, boat/jet ski rentals, delectable restaurants such as Doc's Beach house which reopened in Dec. 2023, charming ice cream shops, grocery stores, and more. Our stilt home welcomes you with ample parking and shaded outdoor space underneath, perfect for storing kayaks and paddle boards.

Quick getaway

This was a great house for my husband and three kids. It was a short walk to the beach and pretty quiet and laid-back. Perfect for us.

Beach house

Our stay at this location was fantastic! We had family that rented a house on the same street. We were five houses from the beach-Literally just down the road and across the street. house is adorable with lots of living space and great privacy in the bedrooms. In addition to an upstairs loft that was not even mentioned which offered additional sleeping space. We really appreciated having some beach supplies available to us, especially a small beach tent. We only stayed a few days, but this will be perfect for a longer vacation lots of stairs, which is something to keep in mind.

Excellent location!!

Property inside was great. Nice kitchen area, living/dining rooms super spacious. But unfortunately the outside of the property was full of mosquitoes that literally we have to run to get into the car because the mosquitoes were attacking you. Just be prepared w/repellent, you will need it. But the main thing, we really enjoy our stay!!

Great location for beach goers

As far cleanliness, we felt some of the areas in the kitchen could be addressed. The ovens and pots and pans specifically. Bathrooms were clean as were other areas of the unit. Lots of space inside-our kids loved the loft as their own room to sleep in. If you are going to the beach it is a very quick walk across Bonita Beach Road, we walked in the wrong direction the first day but figured it out the second day. The road in front of the unit does hold rain water which we know is a city issue but it would be nice if they addressed it. After all the rain we have been getting there was a decent amount there. Overall enjoyed our stay and would stay there again. Highly recommend.

Great value close to the beach

Second time we've stayed here. That should say a lot. I was disappointed that the door on the master bedroom was not fixed. I mentioned it in the last review. You have to lift up on the handle to get the latch to align. The refrigerator ice makers also did not work. Other than that, the stay was great, even with Helene plowing through. The house sits low, so if there is 1 ft of storm surge, it will reach the house. You will notice the large puddle in the road in front of the house fills and empties with the tide. I took a star off for the location due to the flooded road. You have to walk through it to get to the beach access.

Bonita Spings 2023

Just steps to the ocean. The balcony gives you a glimpse of the ocean which I loved. There needs to be more outdoor seating. We luckily brought our own outdoor chairs from home. The house is very spacious and accommodating with all the amenities for the beach along with an umbrella and tent. We made cookies one of the first nights and the smoke alarm went off and continued to chirp for 5 more days. There is enough towels for everyone but bring some toilet paper. We really love Bonita Springs and everything around. ❤️

Great place for a social family!

The house was great! It had a large open living area so you could feel together, even if you were in different "rooms" doing different things. The appliances were modern, including the washer and dryer. There were a few things that need to be fixed, but nothing major. Mostly little things like the light over the cooking range was out and the master bedroom door doesn't latch without lifting up on the knob. Stuff that is easy to fix. As I was cleaning for checkout, I accidentally broke the coffee pot, so it remains to be seen what that will cost me....... Overall, this was a great place to stay for my extended family and I would definitely stay here again.

Great location but too strict with house rules and dirty!

I want to start by saying that the location was great, it was right across from the beach which was very convenient. On the other hand, the house seemed like it hasn’t been cleaned in weeks, the floors were full of sand (which I had to vacuum off myself), the sheets did not smell freshly washed and some had stains, the beds were old and squeaky, etc. Overall the house seemed like it was falling apart, but had some “makeup” to make it rentable. The freezer broke while we were there and although the property manager was very responsive and brought us bags of ice, the technician that was promised to fix the issue never showed up during our stay. Another issue was the air conditioning, it’s a huge house and the air was constantly being set to 79 degrees Fahrenheit… it’s Florida in the summer and it’s HOT. We switched the air down and they kept switching it back up to 79 virtually, it was ridiculous with how hot it got in the house at that temperature, and frankly unacceptable to be constantly switching the air temperature as guests were at the house. They also had very strict house rules with the air temperature, stripping of bedsheets from beds, etc which made us feel like we were doing the housekeepers’ work. Overall, would NOT stay here again. The location was convenient and the house was spacious, just had a ton of issues and wasn’t as clean as we would’ve liked, we’ve stayed in better places in the same area with no issues like this.
