Like having a beautiful and peaceful retreat to yourselves

It was such a great place to plant ourselves for a retreat. It is a very convenient location to Old Bonita Springs, with it's quaint and trendy restaurants and within walking distance to Publix and a lot of other shopping. We drove to Fort Myers beach 3 times with no trouble finding a place to park! Maybe we just got lucky, but right now there are not as many tourists. There is a lot of construction on Estero Blvd. still being done from the hurricanes. When you are here it is so peaceful, bug free and relaxing. The pool and deck are perfect!It would be great for a reunion with friends or family. The loft does not have a bathroom, so not good for older folks, but all the other bedrooms have bathrooms close by. Bill, the owner, was great! He responded quickly to questions. You will not be disappointed!I hope we get the opportunity to return!

Great Stay

My family and I had a fantastic stay at this property! The home is very large and had plenty of space for my four siblings and my husband and my 4 month old son. Bill provided a pack and play for my son as well which was a nice touch! The pool was amazing and we even used the grill outside one night. Highly recommend staying here!

Girls trip in Bonita Springs

Group of mature 65-year-old ladies had a wonderful seven day vacation in Bonita Springs. Our host Bill was very accommodating and quickly responded to questions and things that we needed. The house was well appointed and beautiful with plenty of room for Six ladies. The property was close to many restaurants, grocery stores and entertainment. We spent many mornings and evenings out on the Lanai watching birds and fish jumping out of the canal. It was a very relaxing space. I would highly recommend this rental home and would definitely return.

Exceeded Our Expectations!!

This place was perfect. The owner was so great to deal with. The house and location were perfect. The details were amazing. Anything you could think of was in the house. The owner really cares that guests are super taken care of. The only bad thing is that I feel like I will be let down when staying at other properties. To show the kind of host this property owner is, the coffee maker wasn’t working and the same day there was a replacement ready on the counter. STAY here without worries, you will not regret it.

Great family property

Beautiful well maintained home! Our group was 4 adults, 4 kids ages 5-12. Nana enjoyed the above the garage room which gave her some privacy and quiet. Kids loved the pool and enjoyed kayaks, fishing. Bill was kind and welcoming, we didn’t have an issues at all but he was easy to get ahold of. Easy access to local amenities. We loved our time here, not sure we can top it but we might just have to return and try! Thanks Bill!

Great Place to Stay

The house is exactly as described with plenty of room. We had 7 people, and everyone had their own space. We even had to spend part of our vacation time doing remote work and school, and had no problems with the wifi. The screened porch was the perfect place to sit out in, looking over the canal. Beautiful place. Lots to do in the area, plenty of restaurants and shopping.

Great spot!

This was a big, clean house with everything we needed. There was space for 4 adults, 3 teenagers and a child with room to spare. The pool was heated perfectly and the iguanas even came out to meet us! Large, well-stocked kitchen and the whole place was spotless. Plenty of linens and toys - took full advantage of the kayaks, beach chairs and extra fridge in the garage. Felt like home away from home!

Perfection!

This property was perfect. All 8 of us fit comfortably in Bill’s home. The bedroom & bathroom suite above the garage was a perfect fit for my in-laws, and my parents loved the master suite. The 3.5 bathrooms worked out well for my family. The heated pool was a fantastic bonus as well! Most importantly, Bill was incredibly kind and responded almost immediately to all of my questions. Thanks to him our visit was flawless. I hope I have the chance to stay here in the future!

Six of us stayed for a week in December. No problems and overall a great place to stay. Kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry room were well stocked and the whole place was very clean. There wasn't anything we needed that the house didn't have. Bill was kind and responsive throughout the week, and we all agreed this experience is the best we've had for a rental house!

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC

This has been our best Vrbo stay yet. Owner was fantastic in helping us navigate a tropical storm we were stuck in and was more than accommodating. Very clean, safe area with plenty of beds and space for people to sleep and stay. Great screened inside porch that was fun to spend time on & enjoyed the pool and fishing! Will definitely be back!
