Absolutely adorable and comfortable cottage in Bonita Springs. Convenient location to beaches, Starbucks and nice grocery store. Would book again!
Liked the central location and downtown area.
Loved the location, quiet neighborhood, fenced yard for dogs. Walking distance form old Bonita. Parks nearby. Bed was comfortable. The living room furniture was historic and not comfortable. used lots of pillows to accommodate.
Location to the park and downtown. Could use blinds for the front and back doors.
I rented here a second time, because the house is well equipped, simple and clean. The location is great because there are beaches nearby, it's close to the airport, and the town of old bonita is so close. I like sitting on the front porch, there are a lot of people that walk by to the park that leads to town. Good restaurants etc in walking distance. I also stayed with my dog and the yard and area are great. Highly reccomended!
Enjoyed the outdoor spaces and location of the home. The walk ability of the park next to the home to the historic downtown was appreciated ! Very relaxing long weekend and highly recommend!
