The location of this place was perfect. Walking distance to the beach. It provided all the beach amenities. A boat rental place was located down the street, which our family used. My family would definitely stay here again.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this house, very spacious for the 4 of us. Loved the 3 minute walk to the beach, close proximity to Naples, Fort Myers and Sanibel Island. Mike was a great host and very responsive.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Easy short walk to the beach, especially appreciated the wagon and chairs provided. Lots of space, beds were comfortable. Would definitely return and Mike was available for all questions.
Beautiful home in an amazing location! Boat rental steps away, beach across the street, and very private. The sunsets are impressive, you won’t be disappointed!
We had a wonderful time just steps from Bonita Beach. We walked to Doc's, ate ice cream at Sweet Melissa's, the kids caught fish, swam in the pool and we enjoyed the beach and beautiful sunsets. The house was spotless and had everything we could possible need. Would definitely recommend it to others and hope to return in the future!
Our vacation was great. The house amenities were all as advertised. Lots of space for everyone, proximity to the beach is a big plus, indoor pool helped a lot especially when it was really hot outside. All questions for the property manager were answered promptly. Whole family really loved and enjoyed this place. Thank you.
Great VRBO, perfect size and layout for our group of 7. Location was steps from the beach! Boat rental 3 min walk away.
Property Manager was prompt and helped us with all our needs. Would stay at this location again.
Nothing but good things to say about this property! Location is an excellent balance between the canal access and the beach. Had fun using the chairs and umbrella for the beach. Had 4 teenagers with us and they had plenty to do both at the house and in Bonita. Made a day trip to the Everglades for an air boat tour and went shopping in Naples. Doc’s Restaurant was excellent! Recommend the Sand Dollar Sliders and the Blackened Fish Sandwich! Property owner was very responsive. House was stocked with everything we needed (kitchen, grill, etc…) Highly recommend!!!

You can do better...
The house was okay, but not great. It was definitely older than the pictures would lead you to believe. No major issues, but you can do much better in this area.
The property manager was a huge headache. They definitely tried to pile on the fees, and even tried to charge us for damage that we photo-documented upon our arrival. I would not recommend.
Bonita Springs is incredible and the house is absolutely perfect for a family gathering. Only issues was the listing of four bedrooms - it's definitely three, but we made it work!
House was very clean and the pool and porch were awesome, and a very short walk to the beautiful beach!
Would highly recommend this house, best VRBO we've stayed in yet...

Bonita Springs
The house did not provide you with basics like garbage bags or additional toilet paper. The little products that were there were cheap. The fan in main floor basement did not work. The whirlpool tub jets did not work. The ice maker was glitchy & the neighbor did not like when my kids where in the pool. She let her dog out to bark at them for a long time & then played music loudly to try and annoy us. We only allowed kids on pool from 10 am till 7 pm at the latest. For the positives- the location to the beach was great & the beach things there such as chairs were great.
This home has 3 outstanding features. It is less than 5 minute walk to beach access #8.
The saltwater pool and multilevel screened in lanai has everything you could want for outdoor gathering after a day at the beach.
The home is beautifully decorated . We all loved it and would rent again no question. Thank you for a beautiful vacation.
Great location, less than a 5 minute walk to the beach. The pool was heated and temperature ready for us every day around noon.
Lots of gathering areas.
The upper level twin/trundle sleeping area does not have window coverings so the morning sun can be a problem.
The unit was clean but could benefit from a deep clean - top of refrigerator, cabinets etc.
The pool tiles are in need of minor repairs.
Having the beach wagon, beach chairs and lots of beach towel was great.
The wash machine was large capacity so laundering towels was easy.
There was a lot of furniture available for small children, high chairs, cribs etc.
Very nice property and location! House was clean and perfect layout for spending time with our family for the weekend making memories. Host was very easy to get in contact with and made check in and check out simple. Thank you for the stay!
This is the perfect house for a girls trip. The pool was refreshing and quick walk to the beach for beautiful sunsets. We had a fun time. The beds were comfortable and great outdoor patio space

Amazing location and beautiful place!
This location is amazing and Bonita Springs is such a wonderful place! The house was very accommodating and perfect for our family of 8, including 2 small children. We loved having a private pool for afternoons after the beach and the view of the bay. The house had everything we could possibly need and made for the perfect beach getaway. It was so nice having the beach wagon to tote all of our stuff for the short walk to the beach. Unfortunately, I couldn’t give 5 stars because of the checkin process and all of the ridiculous rules. I have booked many homes on these rental sites and never have I had to deal with such a rude and excessive booking experience. Might just be the attitude of the property manager that made it seem so over the top. I get that it’s a very nice area and a lovely home, but renters shouldn’t be made to feel like they have to walk on egg shells. Just poor customer service. It’s very unfortunate because the place was amazing, but I will never book again with them because of the experience.
Great location, short walk to the beach, boat rental down the street and the kids fished off the docks by the house. Went to the beach during the day and relaxed by the pool in the evening!!
This house was terrific! It was perfect for the size and make-up of our group. The pool was wonderful, larger than we expected; the walk to the beach was a quick 5 minutes, which was shorter than we expected from looking at the map. Nice beach access and was not crowded. The only negative we encountered was with the property manager, who was a bit on the rude side. The dryer took 3 cycles to dry a medium load of beach towels, so my adult daughter was stuck there longer than expected drying and folding the beach towels that belonged to the property as requested as part of the check-out process. She and her husband left the house around 10:15 after letting the cleaning crew in, but by then we were both getting texts from the property manager, continuing for the next hour. Not the best ending to our vacation. Then I received notice they were charging a credit card processing fee - why wasn't that included in the total up front? Not a good explanation from the manager. Hope we don't have to deal with them again!
