We are avid vacation travelers, and this was our first time using VRBO. We were absolutely blown away by the beauty of the property. Don and Karen’s paradise sits right on the Imperial River and is filled with tropical plants, charming yard art, and more than 68 bird feeders. Their birds and gardens made us feel like we had stepped into paradise.We spent every chance we could outside their space while enjoying the serenity and magic of nature. Honestly, I could sit on their property forever.They generously provided free use of kayaks, bikes, and beach equipment, which made a huge difference for us since we often fly in without gear. Kayaking was my favorite part of the trip. We saw turtles, countless birds, manatees, and even a dolphin on the Imperial River.The cottage itself was adorable, comfortable, and the perfect size. The kitchen was well stocked with what we needed to cook meals during our stay, which is important to us when traveling.On our last night, we spent time talking with Don and Karen and experienced their warmth and kindness firsthand. They are wonderful people who genuinely care about nature and their guests.The parking was next to the cottage, off the street, and very convenient. The neighborhood felt extremely safe, and we were completely comfortable the entire time.This is our favorite place we’ve stayed, and we absolutely plan to return. travelers: stop looking. This is the place.(Just don’t book our dates when we come back. LOL)

Graduation getaway

My friend and I were visiting relatives for a graduation over Memorial Day weekend for 5 days. We thoroughly enjoyed the property! Treetops was so cute as an in-law type 2nd floor apartment over a usable garage. Loads of flowers, tropical plants and trees, fishes, birds and even a cute bunny visited. Don and Kathy were very accommodating. We even used their kayaks for a tour of the canal and creek that theyback onto-gorgeous and fun!A perfect getaway from the rush of the city!!
Gorgeous gardens!
Whimsical and fun!

Girls trip

At first we were a little put off because we did not understand that the owners lived onsite ( the listing mentioned that they would be seen onsite tending to the property). The vrbo is towards the front of the house and the owners lived towards the back where the easy access to the pool is located. Every morning we could smell them making breakfast and coffee. The owners were both very nice and accommodating. The property is beautiful and full of wildlife. Don helped us put the kayaks in the river and took some pictures for us. They had plenty of beach supplies and activities to do (bikes, kayaks and a dock to fish from). The vrbo could use a little souring up but over all would visit again.

Retirement Vacay at Tree Tops

The cottage was just as described. Was comfy yet homey but beach decor made you realize it was vacation time. Karen & Don we're great hosts. Good communications and hospitality plus! The property was inviting with ponds and wildlife to enjoy. Beautiful pool to relax on off beach days. We tried to the kayaks but only saw a few ducks and fish. The patio down by the river was awesome to watch the boaters and wildlife including Esther the rabbit . It was located on the end of a quiet street making it the perfect spot to getaway.Hope to visit again!!

Absolutely loved this property!!!

Best vrbo I have had! We were greeted by onsite owners and given a tour upon arrival. Cottage is full of island style decorations and outdoor areas are full of bird feeders and yard decorations. We saw almost as many birds as at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. Ideal place to stay if you are a nature lover and Karen & Don couldn’t be more accommodating

Wonderful hidden getaway with lots of greenery and other natural features. Loved sitting by the river watching all the birds & wildlife. Upon arrival, Karen gave us a complete tour of the amenities and beautiful areas on the property where we could relax. Both Karen and Don were attentive and responsive. The property had everything we needed: comfortable beds, easy drive to the beach, close restaurants and attractions, plus quiet relaxation in nature.

Enjoyed the location, the privacy, and the beauty of the VRBO. We also enjoyed the cozy living quarters. Sitting out on the dock on the imperial river, we enjoyed the birds, the flight path of ibis and Heron’s, and saw at least 10 manatees swim by. This was a highlight as we are nature lovers! The owners were very accommodating!

One week stay at Tree Tops

Lovely stay at this apartment, there are 2x short flights of steps to get into it but once in, it is a very comfortable place to stay. There is everything you need, a proper kitchen with oven, hob & microwave and fridge freezer plus washer and dryer in the garage.The location is great, very quiet but close to shopping and not far to the lovely white sands at Barefoot Beach, perfect base to explore the area by car. Bikes and kayaks available for the adventurous. Sitting down by the river is so relaxing, lots of wildlife to look out for. We saw manatees, iguanas, herons, ibis, woodpecker, jays and lots more birds and even a turtle while out on the river in the kayaks.Things to do in the area; we can recommend Captain Jacks Airboats at Everglades City and a sunset cruise with Naples Princess at Tin City, Naples. The nearby Buffalo Chips was our favourite eatery.Last but not least Don and Karen are great hosts, thanks for having us!

Very cool spot to stay

Although it was more of an apartment attached to the main house, it was private with a back entrance and way into the garage below where the washer and dryer were. We used the kayaks on the Imperial River where we saw a small pod of manatees! They were so close, we just stayed there watching them in awe. My husband is a fisherman and fished off the dock a little and we saw a lot of birds. The location is quiet and close to a few different beaches and close to Naples, where did some shopping and fishing. It’s also close to Lover’s Key where we saw a dolphin 20 ft away in the kayak. There is a pool and hot tub, but we spent most days discovering the area, we were there for a week. Karen and Don were very nice and full of information. I would definitely recommend it.
