This was like our own little oasis. This property is a 20/10! Clean, close enough to the beach and everything you need with the quietness of being away from it. I can't say enough about this property. We will recommend and would definitely visit again.
Impeccably clean! Parking absolutely secure. Hosts couldn’t have been better! Superb venue on the Imperial River…birdwatching, as well as manatee and porpoises visits! All shopping minutes away. High end appliances if you cook. Cottage is nicely laid out, quite comfortable for short or long stay.
Very nice hosts, easy to work with, low key, great location, very private, enjoyed sitting by the river, seeing all the birds. Very clean, close to everything. Very nice area to walk, bike or run. Close to old downtown Bonita Springs.
A perfect stay! The property and grounds are so beautiful,peaceful and full of wildlife. Our hosts,Don and Karen were so gracious and welcoming. We will be back.

Come back anytime. We look forward to it.

We are avid vacation travelers, and this was our first time using VRBO. We were absolutely blown away by the beauty of the property. Don and Karen’s paradise sits right on the Imperial River and is filled with tropical plants, charming yard art, and more than 68 bird feeders. Their birds and gardens made us feel like we had stepped into paradise.We spent every chance we could outside their space while enjoying the serenity and magic of nature. Honestly, I could sit on their property forever.They generously provided free use of kayaks, bikes, and beach equipment, which made a huge difference for us since we often fly in without gear. Kayaking was my favorite part of the trip. We saw turtles, countless birds, manatees, and even a dolphin on the Imperial River.The cottage itself was adorable, comfortable, and the perfect size. The kitchen was well stocked with what we needed to cook meals during our stay, which is important to us when traveling.On our last night, we spent time talking with Don and Karen and experienced their warmth and kindness firsthand. They are wonderful people who genuinely care about nature and their guests.The parking was next to the cottage, off the street, and very convenient. The neighborhood felt extremely safe, and we were completely comfortable the entire time.This is our favorite place we’ve stayed, and we absolutely plan to return. travelers: stop looking. This is the place.(Just don’t book our dates when we come back. LOL)

So glad you had a good time. You got to see a manatee up close and personal from the kayak right in front of our house. Hope to see you again, when you visit the area.
Don and Karen
Enjoyed our week at Treetops Riverfront. Great central location to all the beaches yet quiet at night. Very clean. Close to shopping and restaurants. Enjoyed the amenities, fishing off the dock and the wildlife. We hope to return.
Is a perfect location for a quiet get away. Karen was amazing and helpful

Kayaking, biking, wildlife, and the city if you want it.
Best vrbo I have had! We were greeted by onsite owners and given a tour upon arrival. Cottage is full of island style decorations and outdoor areas are full of bird feeders and yard decorations. We saw almost as many birds as at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. Ideal place to stay if you are a nature lover and Karen & Don couldn’t be more accommodating
