This gorgeous home was perfect for our family of eight. The home provided plenty of space and had everything we needed for cooking, going to the beach, fishing etc. The outdoor space was beautiful and perfect for the evening. Crissy was responsive and checked in on us to make sure we had everything that we needed during our stay.

Great house great location!

Communication with property manager was very helpful. She checked in with us lots, and even had a welcome basket of treats waiting for us!!! It was a beautiful home! The only downside is that if you like to lay out by the pool, the sun doesn’t shine in the back pool area too much. But still had a wonderful time in a beautiful home!

Perfection!

This property, its property manager and her staff? Absolutely outstanding! Everything about our stay at this beautifully designed and elegantly decorated home was simply perfect. Based on the listing, our expectations were high, yet they were exceeded. The immense garage is a great play area with plenty of things to play with. The pool is a delight, and the lanai and its powerful fan help keep the heat and humidity at bay. The view of the river, yields regular sightings of seals, dolphins, manatee, egrets…paradise.

Gift yourself paradise

Okay, so I’m not sure where to start but Crissy and the property were amazing. We utilized the house every day in every way possible. From the kids area downstairs to the pool/hot tub the house was amazing. Their were plenty of brand new umbrellas and chairs for the beach and plenty of kids toys (boogie boards, etc) to keep everyone busy on the beach. We are an active family and made the short kayak (it’s a tandem which is extremely handy) up the river every morning to a small lagoon to watch the manatee, dolphins, and catch tarpon and snook. The covered pool area was awesome to keep the kids safe and sound. You cannot go wrong with this property. Extremely clean and well kept. Had everything we needed. We cooked and grilled a few nights and there was enough stuff already there to make it happen. Do yourself a favor and book this house. You won’t regret it. We will be back!

Great house, great week!

The house was great! This was an annual golf trip for 8 guys. It was perfect, not cramped for 8 guys. We of course loved the hot tub, tv and fireplace in the lanai for when we got home from golfing. Crissy, the house manager was great! Answered any questions or concerns we had. She even sent a video on how to set the hot tub and the fireplace. Great House! Talking about going back next year!

Bonita On the River

Fantastic Property. Our multigeneration family of 11 had everything we could possibly need. The home was beautiful, gorgeously decorated, comfortable, open and spacious. The kitchen was well stocked and all appliances were top of the line. The pool and hot tub were amazing. Perfect location on the river with great fishing and water sports. Basement with pop a shot, Jenga, foosball, etc. kept our grandkids occupied! Beach equipment and kayak provided. Hosts were friendly, helpful, and easy to communicate with. Highest recommendation. Hope to stay there again in the future.
