Charming Bonita springs bungalow

Delightful and refreshing home in a quiet family neighborhood across from a new library. Fun area to walk to parks and restaurants. Wonderful vibe to decompress. Easy access to central Florida activities. And close to the airport. Loved our time there.

Everything was as-advertised. Leonor was warm and welcoming and immediately made us feel at home. The home is in excellent condition and has lot of amenities. Comfy bedrooms, very nice living room. The outdoor porch and patio were perfect. I'm looking forward to coming back.

Our home away from home

As soon as we arrived we were met by Leonor ( home owner). She gave us a tour of the home which made check in so easy. We found this home to be charming and cozy and had everything we needed. We felt like home as soon as we walked in. Grocery store was about 2 miles away which was convenient. The location was ideal. The neighborhood is very quiet and safe. Did so much walking both in the historic town and the park down the street. We will definitely book here again

Looking forward to coming back

We stayed here for 28 days. It was wonderful! Within walking distance to restaurants, parks and the Wonder Gardens. Small, well equipped, very clean house. Lenore was very friendly and accommodating. Nice front porch, screened in back porch and a patio. Backyard all fenced in, very private and quiet. We plan on coming back next year!

Great Location!

The cottage is very bright and cozy. We were off the main drag of 41, but could easily access it when needed. We enjoyed concerts and art shows in Old Bonita by walking or sitting on the beautiful porch. Leonor is very sweet and has spent hours improving the cottage’s garden for the guests to enjoy. Thanks to the privacy fence, we spent many hours having dinner or lunch in the covered lanai or the deck in back while enjoying the garden. Thanks for everything Leonor!

Nothing but charm-- serene and clean!

Spotless little bungalow filled with lovely, thoughtful touches but not cluttered in a walk to everything location in historic downtown Bonita Springs. A bit of a hiccup with VRBO communications but easily resolved. Leonor was an attentive, warm host, checking in with helpful suggestions. My highlights? Spa treatments at Shangri-La, kayaking from Riverside Park, the lorikeet encounter at the Everglades Wonder Gardens, Heaven Shakes and Survey Cafe= multiple delicious visits. All of it a nostalgic visit to old Florida tourist days.

perfect vacation

Leonor's bungalow is cozy, comfortable (especially the beds) with a modern kitchen and many of Leonor's personal items that give the house a unique charm. The accommodation is convenient to the beach( anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes to Bonita Beaches, Fort Myers and Naples. We spent a lot of time at Lovers Key Sate Park which rents canoes, kayaks,etc. Leonor is readily available with suggestions and responds quickly to questions. Her warmth and friendliness added a lot of pleasure to our stay.

Comfort and ease away from home!

Leonor’s home was the perfect place for me - as a get-away and setting for doing remote work. Her home had all the necessities and then some (beautiful plants, screened in porch, great wifi. The proximity was perfect- close to coffee shops, town square where there was live music (in March!) at the bandshell, farmers market, and newly built library. The house was immaculate.

Charming home

We had a lovely stay, alas only three nights before heading home to Pennsylvania. Leonor greeted us upon arrival......she was warm and welcoming, and full of info on the house and surroundings. We loved that we could walk to the park and river, kayak the Imperial River from a local put-in down the street, and sit and relax on the front porch after a full day. The house itself was very well equipped and comfortable. You can't go wrong with this one!

Nice little bungalow

Nice little bungalow. Landlord was nice although she came to water her plants on Sunday morning. This seemed a little odd to me. Also there were no shades on some windows making it weird when sitting in the living room. House was clean and well kept.

Quickly felt like home!

Nothing fancy but a very homey vibe. Solid construction. Nice back yard with nice sitting area without the sand but plenty of sun! Lots of plants and flowers. Quiet neighborhood. Will be even quitter with the opening of a new library right across the street! Good Mexican Restaurant within walking distance also. You get what you see a nice cozy cottage. Lovely home owners to help make your stay as comfortable as possible. Longer stays could use a few more drawers.
