The property is amazingly located and it’s everything you need for a wonderful vacation. The third room being downstairs is a positive if you want privacy for some of your party. The house has everything you need and more, and the host is extremely responsive.

This property and the host Melanie were fantastic. I was able to communicate directly with her on things we needed and how to check in/check out. The house was super tidy and had plenty of supplies for the beach as well as the grill and kitchen, which we loved. I would certainly recommend this property!

The property manager was very communicative and responded immediately when we had a little hiccup with the door code. The location can't be beat - right across from the beach access. We did not have as large of a party as the house would accommodate, so we found it very comfortable to hang out in the evenings. A larger group would be lacking for comfortable seating to watch TV, etc as there is just one couch and one loveseat in the living room. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well-stocked for cooking. I'd stay there again!

Great location directly across from the beach access point. The owner was very responsive to questions. For families with young children, be aware that the third bedroom is downstairs and cannot be reached through the living area upstairs. You will need to leave the living area upstairs, walk down the steps, and enter through a separate entrance downstairs. For two couples or if you are traveling with older teenagers, it should be ideal. If you are expecting young children to stay downstairs, you may want to reconsider staying here or moving the young children upstairs.

Host profile image
We left the cold upstate New York winters behind in 2006, and Bonita Beach quickly captured my heart. Its crystal-blue waters and warm coastal charm reminded us of the Caribbean, and we knew we had found something special.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it perfectly captures everything we love about coastal living. Bonita Beach offers a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere, with easy beach access, beautiful sandy shores, and breathtaking sunsets. The community is welcoming, safe, and full of charm, yet still conveniently close to restaurants, shops, and local attractions.

For us, it’s the perfect balance of tranquility and convenience—a place where we can enjoy the beach every day while still feeling connected to the heart of Bonita Springs. It’s no wonder we fell in love with this neighborhood and made it our home.
