If you don't go you won't know! I have had a few vacations that have been simply amazing and topped the charts, but Bonita takes the cake now at the very top of the list.
I'm a "planner". However, this has been a bad year for our family (also meaning we NEEDED the vacay even more), and disintegrated my planning skills. I found this little slice of heaven in Bonita Springs, and booked it, and less than a week later we were on our way.
The house is absolutely gorgeous, top to bottom, beautiful decor, comfortable beds, plenty of nice very nice bathroom/showers. The Master bedroom is something out of a fairy tale, the shower is out of this world, the soaking tub melts away any stress you have, then there is the TOTO toilet (look it up)my 9 year old discovered that first and thought it was the coolest thing haha. Tvs galore, you won't need them, whole house music, games, crafts, poker table, great pool, outdoor grilling, and the indoor kitchen is phenomenal and stocked with everything you could think of.
Chrissy, the house manager was great, always available to help, and super sweet! She helped set us up with a hibachi dinner that comes to the home, and a hula/fire show, highly recommend! She also set up fishing charters, where we caught great fish and saw dolphins, and organized jet ski rentals.
The garage is stocked with all sorts of fun outdoor games we enjoyed. As well as umbrella, canopies, and plenty of chairs for the beach, even a cooler and great wagons to haul things down with. The kayak, and paddle boards were a hit with everyone.
Her daughter is the icing on the cake. If you have kids, definitely snatch her for a craft night! Came one night and did all types of crafts with my girls, jewelry with their seashells, painting, and they just LOVED her.
We went sea shell hunting daily, definitely check out Barefoot beach, we had a large beautiful resident lizard in the yard, saw dolphins on our beach, pelicans and a variety of birds all over. The Wonder Gardens is close by and that was fun and interesting. Definitely the best place for sunset beach pics. Hands down the best vacation ever, we were so not ready to leave.
