Communication with Dana and Jeff was great and check-in was very easy. The house was spotless and comfortable and had all of the amenities we could ask for! The location was quiet and the neighbors were welcoming and wonderful! Our stay was perfect and the kids loved the pool and all of the things to bring to the beach. We would absolutely stay here again!
Where to begin with this glorious home away from home! Dana and Jeff have left nothing to chance, virtually everything we needed to complete a wonderful vacation… and so incredibly clean! Bikes, kayaks, beach chairs, food staples, soft towels, fishing poles … did I mention CLEAN! Thank you so very much. Your correspondence and kindness will not be forgotten.

A covid-delayed golf vacation to the Bonita Springs/ Naples area which has been well known to me for 30+ years and over that period a regular visitor. The property was chosen due to its close proximity to everything, and provided a convenient base for the trip with space for everyone.

This is an exceptionally nice property in Bonita Springs Florida. The house is very clean, modern and well equipped with everything that a family would need to relax and have a memorable time. The neighborhood is quite and the area has plenty of things to do. The property and location is extremely well suited for a family of young adults (like ours).

About the host
Hosted by Dana Miller
We love to travel and have lived all over the world. When we travel, we love to feel at home and Our Happy Place is a beautiful home. Family is an important part of our lives and we are making wonderful memories in this beautiful home. We hope you will do the same.
Why they chose this property
We have been traveling to Bonita Springs, FL for many years and we wanted to buy a property in this particular neighborhood. It is safe and very close to everything (the beach, restaurants, shops, malls). Our top requirements were to be on the water, have a private swimming pool and we wanted to be very close to the beach. Whenever we're at Our Happy Place, we always watch the sunset from the beach - it is the highlight of the day!! To us, this is one of the best places in the world that we've traveled and/or lived.
What makes this property unique
When you drive into our neighborhood, you will see beautiful palm trees down the center of the street and beautifully maintained homes. Everyone is very friendly and the neighborhood is quiet and safe.
