✨ Experience the 'Casa Bonita Florida’ Standard—where 1-acre privacy meets 5-star hospitality.
Discover the unrivaled guest experience at Casa Bonita Florida—a secluded 1-acre retreat in Bonita Springs designed for ultimate privacy and coastal luxury. Spotlessly clean, pet-free, and fully stocked, we offer a "Top Shelf" stay backed by a flexible cancellation policy. Book with total confidence and relax in your own private resort!

✨ WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT ✨
✦ The Ultimate Backyard: A heated saltwater pool with sun shelf and ledge loungers, surrounded by a lush hedge row for total resort-style privacy. Our saltwater system provides a silkier, more skin-friendly swimming experience compared to traditional chlorine.
✦ Outdoor Grilling: Elevate your evenings with an authentic Florida cookout! We provide a complimentary gas grill for your private use.
✦ Space to Breathe: 1 acre of manicured grounds on a quiet street in the City of Bonita Springs—a rare find in Florida.
✦ A Chef’s Kitchen: Fully equipped with premium cookware and every gadget you need, plus our signature stocked coffee bar.
✦ Seamless Living: Open-concept Great Room with a 65" Smart TV and vaulted ceilings.
✦ Keyless Convenience: Enjoy a stress-free arrival with your own custom Schlage door code—no keys to keep track of!
✦ Fast Wi-Fi & Workspace: High-speed internet (perfect for streaming or remote work) with USB charging hubs throughout the home.
✦ Coastal Suites: Two King bedrooms and one Queen bedroom featuring 43" Smart TVs, walk-in closets and luxe linens.
✦ Professional Hosting: We pride ourselves on proactive communication and are available via platform message or text to ensure your stay is flawless.

✨ FAMILY-FIRST AMENITIES ✨
Relax while the kids play! We provide:
✦ Safety: A lockable pool safety fence with self-closing gate, baby monitors, outlet covers, and magnetic cabinet locks.
✦ Gear: Stroller, high chair, Pack & Play, booster seat, and toddler life vests.
✦ Fun: Cornhole, driveway pickleball, board games, and plenty of beach items (chairs/umbrella/towels/toys).

✨ THE LOCATION ✨
🚗 5 Minutes Away:
✦ Daily Essentials: Grocery stores, Liquor stores, and pharmacies.
✦ Shopping & Dining: Coconut Point Mall—an outdoor destination with 100+ stores and 20+ restaurants.
✦ Local Flavor: The charming shops and dining of Old Bonita Springs.
🚗 15 Mins: Barefoot Beach, Bonita Beach, Little Hickory Island and Lovers Key.
🚗 Must Visit: 20 minutes to The Turtle Club for dining on the sand.

✨ THE "HIGH-AND-DRY" SANCTUARY OF SAN CARLOS ESTATES ✨
Nestled in the heart of Bonita Springs, San Carlos Estates offers a rare "Top Shelf" lifestyle that balances secluded, rural-style privacy with modern coastal convenience. Spanning nearly an acre of high-and-dry land, this neighborhood is a "hidden gem" for travelers seeking space, silence, and security.
✦ Rare Safety Advantage: One of the neighborhood’s most unique benefits is its elevation. Strategically located outside of a designated flood zone on 100% uplands, our property offers superior protection from the storm surges that can impact beachfront homes. This "Flood Zone X" status provides guests with total peace of mind during their Florida getaway.
✦ Estate-Sized Privacy: Experience true "breathing room" on oversized lots (typically 1.25 acres). Unlike high-density gated communities, our estate features mature tropical landscaping and deep setbacks, ensuring a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle.
✦ A Quiet Oasis Near the Action: While the vibe is low-key and private, you are never far from adventure. Enjoy the freedom of a non-HOA community that is just a 5-minute hop to the upscale dining and shops of Coconut Point Mall and a short 15-minute drive to the pristine white sands of Barefoot Beach.

✨ KEEPING THE MAGIC ALIVE ✨
To ensure every guest enjoys a '10 out of 10' stay and to keep our 1-acre oasis pristine for everyone, we have a few house rules. They’re the standard 'nitty-gritty' stuff, but they help us maintain the high standards you deserve!

✦ A/C & Heat: A/C minimum is 70°F; Heat maximum is 74°F. Please keep all exterior doors and windows closed while in use. Please note that for energy conservation and system safety, the unit is programmed to automatically shut down if doors or windows are left open for an extended period.

✨ POOL HEATING & TEMPERATURE POLICY ✨
Our heated saltwater pool is set to 86°F. Please note the following regarding its operation during your stay:
✦ Weather Dependent: We use a heat pump that extracts heat from the air. It cannot generate heat independently; therefore, water temperature is not guaranteed and is subject to ambient weather conditions.
✦ Operating Limits: If outdoor temperatures drop below 55°F, the heater will automatically shut down to protect the system. No refunds provided for weather-related fluctuations.

✦ No Tampering: Host adjusts all features remotely. Guests are strictly prohibited from adjusting the pool control panel, iAquaLink settings, or pool valves. Unauthorized adjustments will result in a $250 service fee to cover system recalibration.

✨ PROPERTY SECURITY, SAFETY AND CONNECTIVITY ✨
For the protection of our guests and the property, Casa Bonita Florida is equipped with essential safety systems, including high-speed Wi-Fi, smoke/flood sensors, and exterior-only security cameras.
✦ System Integrity: Tampering with, covering, or disabling any security or safety device is a material breach of the agreement. To maintain property security, any guest-caused outage will trigger a professional maintenance dispatch to restore connectivity. A minimum $150 service trip charge, plus any applicable repair costs, will be deducted from the security deposit.
✦ Privacy Guarantee: To ensure total guest privacy, there are no cameras located inside the garage or any interior living areas.

Top notch all the way! From easy, intuitive check-in (you can choose your code for all doors), to more amenities than you could imagine, fully stocked with top quality items and excellent furniture and beds, this home is so comfortable you’ll think you are at a 5* resort. Even the pool was kept at a comfortable temperature at no extra charge, and everything was super clean. Kelly is definitely a super host with excellent communication, great suggestions, an interactive digital guide book, superb organization, and always quick to respond. The two weeks went by quickly with total enjoyment. This is the best short-term rental we’ve ever stayed at.

A Beautiful home and very well appointed in Great condition. Owners keep every part of this fine property well maintained. The saltwater pool experience was a first for us and rates a 10 out of 10. Hedge rows and lot shape provide privacy on the lanai and pool deck like you are at your own resort. The home is close to shopping and restaurants but tucked away on a quiet street with little traffic. The Turtle Club restaurant is a must visit for a special meal On The Sand with the surf steps away.Two gorgeous beaches are a short drive, Barefoot Beach and Lovers Key. The whole house is organized so well that you feel at home right from the start. The kitchen is already equipped with any supplies and gadgets you need. They even bumped the pool temp up a few degrees when I asked the Pool Boy! Kelly was available by text for the few questions I had and responded promptly. This home and the owners are definitely Top Shelf.

Amazing Stay at Casa Bonita

Our family recently stayed at Casa Bonita. What an amazing experience!  The house was equipped with everything we needed and more. It was extremely comfortable and the pool/outdoor area was fantastic. The kids and adults loved the pool, games, and the outdoor sitting areas. Casa Bonita is close to shopping, restaurants, and beaches. The hosts were very responsive to any questions we had during our stay. We can't wait to return back to Casa Bonita!

Relaxing escape from Northern winter

Lots of room for a larger group. The lanai was the place to gather, providing screening around the pool to enjoy the sun and a covered area if you like shade. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils (in well labeled cabinets) so staying in and making meals was easy. There is also a grill, which we used several times! It truly was a "home away from home". Everyone loved our stay!

Vacation Heaven

From the moment we booked Casa Bonita, we knew it was the perfect choice for our stay on vacation! We walked thru the door and felt at home! The location is superb. The amenities that the house has made for the perfect stay. From the spacious rooms to the covered Lanai and of course the perfect pool for lounging in sunshine. With proximity to many different restaurants and shopping, our 17 day stay was stress free. Bonus for us, with the full kitchen, and outdoor grill, it was nice to enjoy fixing dinner there and enjoying quiet evenings. There is no other place we will stay in Bonita to rest, unplug, and reset! Highly recommend anyone or any family to book Casa Bonita. Kelly made the process of booking so easy and was great with checking in as well as answering any questions you might have! We will be booking for next year asap!

There’s no place like home!

We stayed at Casa Bonita for the month of March 2025, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a cleaner, more well-equipped home. The pool was absolutely fantastic, and we loved having the option to relax in the shade on the lanai. The umbrella over the pool chairs was a great touch, and the terrycloth covers on the sun chairs made lounging even more comfortable. It was also so thoughtful to have sunscreen available for guests—just one of many small details that made a big difference. We found the extra hooks in the bathrooms and closets to be very useful, and the speaker by the pool made it easy to enjoy our favorite music outdoors. Kelly and Dick have thought of everything, and they responded promptly whenever we had a question. We’ll definitely be back!

✨ Welcome to our private oasis! We’re Kelly and Richard. We fell in love with our quiet neighborhood and beautiful beaches of Bonita Springs and knew we had to create a space for others to enjoy it, too! We’ve filled our home with family-friendly extras and thoughtful amenities so you can focus on what matters: making memories.

We love helping our guests plan their perfect trip, so please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Why they chose this property

✨ The Perfect Balance of Privacy & Proximity ✨
Tucked away on nearly an full acre in the peaceful neighborhood of San Carlos Estates, Casa Bonita Florida offers a secluded, resort-style feel while remaining just minutes from the Gulf’s best beaches and dining.

We intentionally chose this location for its rare advantage: it sits outside of a designated flood zone. This unique position offers superior protection from the storm surges and high winds that can impact beachfront properties, providing our guests with an extra layer of safety and total peace of mind during their Florida getaway.

What makes this property unique

✨ What makes our home unique? ✨
✦ Privacy You Won’t Find Elsewhere: Nestled on nearly an acre in the neighborhood of San Carlos Estates, our home offers a secluded, "high-and-dry" sanctuary. Unlike standard rentals, you have a massive private yard and freedom from strict HOA oversight.
✦ Safety & Peace of Mind: Strategically located outside of a designated flood zone on 100% uplands, our property offers a rare safety advantage in Florida, keeping you protected and worry-free throughout your stay.
✦ Superior Pool Experience: Our custom heated saltwater pool is designed for luxury, featuring a sun shelf and ledge loungers. The saltwater system provides a silkier, chemical-free swim that is much gentler on the skin than standard chlorine pools.
✦ The Best of Both Worlds: You get the quiet, open space of a rural estate while being just a 5-minute hop to elite shopping at Coconut Point and a short 15-minute drive to the white sands of Barefoot Beach.
