About this property

Beautiful Beach Front Cottage on the Gulf of Mexico

Enjoy this magnificent Beachfront home located directly on the Gulf of Mexico surrounded by private homes. Dog friendly with small dog fencing. We very much appreciate at least a 2 week minimum stay. Book 2 weeks or more and get 10% back on nightly rate.

Hurricane Ian update: The cottage itself was virtually unharmed. We were very fortunate. There are not many cottages that did as well as we did. The coconut palms which are native trees all survived. Please feel free to ask questions you may have.

Old Florida charm makes this a relaxed, casual vacation destination. Like none other! Fabulous sunset views from the full length porch, dining room and living area. Master bedroom also has beach front view and separate porch. Walk for miles on the beautiful white sandy beaches. Excellent shelling and fishing at your doorstep. Owners often catch snook at the shoreline in front of the cottage. Just minutes away from golf and shopping at Coconut Point or The Promenade in Naples. 1 mile walk to Doc's Restaurant. Master bedroom has king with private bath. Lie in bed with Gulf view. Second master has queen and private bath. Guest bedroom with king has private half bath. Guest bedroom with twin beds has full hall bath.

Our host was amazing. The house was everything the pictures promised, was well stocked, and the host went above what she needed to make the experience great. She let us know where the stores were, made sure we didn’t need any special needs, and even made sure we were aware of the beach alerts.

Outstanding home in perfect beach location!

Our immediate family enjoyed this beautiful home on the beach, with various relatives joining us, over a period of three weeks. There are four very comfortable bedrooms so we had room for everyone! The kids enjoyed watching movies in the family room at night. We all loved the spacious screened porch and the beach. The owners thought of every need - the bathrooms and pantry were well-stocked as was the convenient laundry closet. We will definitely come back to this home - we were graciously welcomed from start to finish!!!

Very Nice!

The house and its contents are in excellent shape, with many new furnishings since the hurricane. My wife and I very much enjoyed our stay in this well equipped beach house. Communications with the owner were first class - as is the beach proximity and view, complete with a few palm trees and table/chairs/lights on the sand. One flight of wide stairs up to the living level, parking underneath.

Beautiful home, beautiful beach!!

My family and I spent the Christmas holidays at this gorgeous home, and it was everything we hoped it would be. This immaculate home was equipped with everything we could have wanted!! The owners even saw to it that we had a Christmas tree for our stay!! The home's location is great, the beach is beautiful, and there are lots of great restaurants in the area. We would definitely recommend this property!!

About the host

Hosted by Claudia Cowart

Host profile image
My sister and I were raised in this lovely remodeled beach cottage. Our father built the original cottage in 1956. We have lovingly kept it full of the charm and added today's modern conveniences. It is a treasure. Our shell collection is on display in the dining room.

Why they chose this property

Last minute vacation? We had a cancellation we would like to fill 3+ weeks in March.

What makes this property unique

Bonita Beach is know for its white sand and shells. The female loggerhead turtles make their nests here seasonally. Get to know the "turtle lady" who combs the beach each morning for new nests and any that have hatched. Bonita Beach is the cleanest and the safest beach in SW Florida due to its shape and the fact it faces west.
