Down By The River

Nice place and hosts. Pleasant spot next to Imperial River. Saw many birds, fish jumping and even dolphins swimming up from the Gulf. Close enough to town center, restaurants and grocery to bicycle there. Bikes provided.

Delightful retreat!

We loved the kayaks and seating arrangements by the canal. We saw dolphins and manatees on many occasions during our stay. The hosts are very nice people and very accommodating. We slept well and had everything we could think of. Much recommended!

Pleasant slice of paradise

Staying at Treetops was a relaxing and pleasant experience. The property is a little secluded slice of paradise. Everything was clean and well-kept. We really appreciated that bikes and kayaks were available for use, highlights of our stay. Also it is a great location and the hosts are very friendly people. We would recommend to friends.

Perfect vacation spot

Staying at the Treetops was the ideal way to wrap up our summer. The location is absolutely perfect with a beautiful yard, personal access to the water for kayaking, and access to the best beaches. Karen was very friendly and responsive and communicated everything we needed. The kitchen is stocked with much more than you typically find and everything was very clean. We loved our stay at the Treetops!

Relaxing, pleasant vacation. Exactly what we wanted

Staying in Karen and Dons vacation rental was unbelievable. My mother, cousin and I were looking to have a relaxing vacation and that's exactly what we got. Interacting with Karen and Dons was a great bonus. Sitting by the river enjoying coffee was the highlight of the trip. I got to fish with my cousin and enjoy time driving to town, visiting the various beaches and shelling. I would certainly recommend staying here to anyone, and definitely look forward to my next vacation at treetops. I can not say enough good things about our hosts and their rental.

Peaceful

You will not find anything better for this price! Such a perfect little getaway! Nice location! The Treehouse was very cozy and extremely clean. Perfect for a couple getaway or a small family. The condo came equipped with kayaks, bikes beach gear, coolers, and even golf clubs! There is a public golf course right across the street. Don and Karen were wonderful hosts. They live on site which was comforting and are there to answer any questions. Don loves to share his Flordia history 😁 The pool was pretty but cold however the whirlpool was a great treat. We would highly recommend this beautiful property. We will be back!!!!!

Pleasant stay at treetops

The property was quiet and peacefull with river access and plenty of bikes and kayaks for adventuring. The apartment, which is attached to the main house has its own entrance and felt secure and was simple to access for those that can climb stairs (not for wheelchairs or those with mobility issues). While the pool and hot tub were in an enclosed linai, the pool was murky and seemed like it might not have the right chemical balance. For this reason we did not want to risk a bacterial issue and made the decision not to swim. Not having a safe pool definitely lowered the value of this property. The inside of the property was also quite dusty, which was surprising given the high $250 cleaning fee. We really enjoyed our kayak adventure, but the access to the river is quite rustic and we got very muddy trying to get in and out. Overall a pleasant stay and a calm and serene environment.

Graduation getaway

My friend and I were visiting relatives for a graduation over Memorial Day weekend for 5 days. We thoroughly enjoyed the property! Treetops was so cute as an in-law type 2nd floor apartment over a usable garage. Loads of flowers, tropical plants and trees, fishes, birds and even a cute bunny visited. Don and Kathy were very accommodating. We even used their kayaks for a tour of the canal and creek that theyback onto-gorgeous and fun!A perfect getaway from the rush of the city!!
Gorgeous gardens!

Girls trip

At first we were a little put off because we did not understand that the owners lived onsite ( the listing mentioned that they would be seen onsite tending to the property). The vrbo is towards the front of the house and the owners lived towards the back where the easy access to the pool is located. Every morning we could smell them making breakfast and coffee. The owners were both very nice and accommodating. The property is beautiful and full of wildlife. Don helped us put the kayaks in the river and took some pictures for us. They had plenty of beach supplies and activities to do (bikes, kayaks and a dock to fish from). The vrbo could use a little souring up but over all would visit again.

Retirement Vacay at Tree Tops

The cottage was just as described. Was comfy yet homey but beach decor made you realize it was vacation time. Karen & Don we're great hosts. Good communications and hospitality plus! The property was inviting with ponds and wildlife to enjoy. Beautiful pool to relax on off beach days. We tried to the kayaks but only saw a few ducks and fish. The patio down by the river was awesome to watch the boaters and wildlife including Esther the rabbit . It was located on the end of a quiet street making it the perfect spot to getaway.Hope to visit again!!

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

Enjoyed the location, the privacy, and the beauty of the VRBO. We also enjoyed the cozy living quarters. Sitting out on the dock on the imperial river, we enjoyed the birds, the flight path of ibis and Heron’s, and saw at least 10 manatees swim by. This was a highlight as we are nature lovers!

One week stay at Tree Tops

Lovely stay at this apartment, there are 2x short flights of steps to get into it but once in, it is a very comfortable place to stay. There is everything you need, a proper kitchen with oven, hob & microwave and fridge freezer plus washer and dryer in the garage.The location is great, very quiet but close to shopping and not far to the lovely white sands at Barefoot Beach, perfect base to explore the area by car. Bikes and kayaks available for the adventurous. Sitting down by the river is so relaxing, lots of wildlife to look out for. We saw manatees, iguanas, herons, ibis, woodpecker, jays and lots more birds and even a turtle while out on the river in the kayaks.Things to do in the area; we can recommend Captain Jacks Airboats at Everglades City and a sunset cruise with Naples Princess at Tin City, Naples. The nearby Buffalo Chips was our favourite eatery.Last but not least Don and Karen are great hosts, thanks for having us!

Very cool spot to stay

Although it was more of an apartment attached to the main house, it was private with a back entrance and way into the garage below where the washer and dryer were. We used the kayaks on the Imperial River where we saw a small pod of manatees! They were so close, we just stayed there watching them in awe. My husband is a fisherman and fished off the dock a little and we saw a lot of birds. The location is quiet and close to a few different beaches and close to Naples, where did some shopping and fishing. It’s also close to Lover’s Key where we saw a dolphin 20 ft away in the kayak. There is a pool and hot tub, but we spent most days discovering the area, we were there for a week. Karen and Don were very nice and full of information. I would definitely recommend it.
