Five miles to Bonita Beach. This is the one.
There's no single feature that makes this Bonita Springs canal home special — it's the combination of all of them together. A two-level fully screened lanai with a heated pool, spiral staircase, outdoor TV, bar counter w/ stools, pub-height table, dining table, ceiling fans, and two water features. A separate downstairs suite with its own entrance, kitchenette, and bunk beds — completely independent from the upstairs living space. A canal out back where dolphins, manatees, and turtles have all been spotted. Two cruiser bikes. Beach gear. And sleeping space for 9 guests across 1,800+ sq ft with two living areas that give multigenerational families, two couples, or mixed groups the independence and privacy they need.
Please note: the lower-level guest room is not accessible from the upstairs interior — it is only accessible from the exterior lower-level door or the lanai sliding doors. This layout is ideal for guests who want genuine separation between spaces.
THE UPSTAIRS SPACE:
The main level features an open, comfortable flow from the kitchen through the dining room and living area and out to the two-story lanai. The living room is anchored by a sectional sofa, a large Smart TV with Hulu Live, and large sliding glass doors opening directly onto the upper lanai balcony.
The kitchen is equipped with full-size appliances, a bistro table for 2, cookware, dinnerware, cutlery, and glasses — everything needed for easy family meals throughout the stay.
The dining room seats 6.
The split floor plan has bedrooms on opposite sides of the upstairs level. The master suite features a king bed, lanai access, a TV with Hulu Live via Apple TV, and an ensuite bathroom with a large walk-in shower and walk-in closet. The guest bedroom offers a queen bed, lanai access, and a TV with Hulu Live via Apple TV. The den provides a queen Murphy bed and a work desk — a flexible space for the 9th guest or a quiet work-from-home setup (note: the TV shown in photos is not functional).
The upstairs guest bathroom features a combination bathtub/shower.
A full-size washer and dryer are located on the 2nd floor balcony alongside the dining table and spiral staircase.
THE LOWER SUITE
The remodeled downstairs space offers genuine independence for a smaller group or couple — a guest room with a bunk bed (full and twin), a full bathroom with shower, and a kitchenette with refrigerator and microwave. A private exterior entrance and sliding doors to the lanai mean downstairs guests can come and go entirely without disturbing those upstairs. It's the kind of layout that makes this home work beautifully for multigenerational groups, two families, or adult children traveling with parents.
THE OUTDOOR SPACE
The two-level fully screened lanai is the showpiece of this property. The upper balcony has a dining table overlooking the pool and canal below. Spiral down to the lower lanai and you'll find an outdoor sofa and lounge chairs, a TV with Hulu Live via Apple TV, a dining table, a pub-height table, a bar counter with stools, ceiling fans, a BBQ grill, and the heated pool with two water features — all under a screened enclosure for bug-free enjoyment day and evening.
Behind the home, a small canal connects to the Imperial River — great for kayaking if you choose to rent one. Dolphins, manatees, and turtles have all been spotted here.
Lush privacy landscaping surrounds the pool and canal area. Pool heating runs November through April; not available May through October. Water temperatures vary based on weather conditions and cannot be guaranteed. Canal water levels and conditions are subject to tidal changes and cannot be controlled or guaranteed.

Our Bonita Springs vacation rentals help visitors escape to one of the most beautiful beach destinations in southwest Florida!
Outdoor and water recreation top the list of things to do. First, start at the beach. Two must-sees include Bonita Springs Public Beach and picturesque Barefoot Beach Preserve. In fact, Barefoot Beach ranks among the best beaches in the U.S. for its unspoiled beauty.
Other scenic spots are located at Little Hickory Beach Park, Mound Key State Park and Lover's Key State Park. As one of the top attractions in the area, Lover's Key State Park offers 2 miles of pristine shoreline and serves as a place for destination weddings. Bonita Springs is also dog-friendly and has its own dog beach park.
The area is situated near Estero Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, so visitors can canoe, kayak, paddle-board and ride jet skis. In addition, the area offers boat rentals perfect for sailing or simply exploring with loved ones. Looking for a guide? Several tour companies welcome guests to go on dolphin- and manatee-watching trips or deep-sea fishing excursions. For some wildlife adventure, head to Everglades Wonder Gardens. This attraction provides a home to gators, exotic birds and reptiles from around the world.
Our Bonita Springs vacation rentals also provide access to more than a dozen golf courses. With public and private options, it's easy to find a challenging course that showcases Florida's natural beauty. A few examples include Bonita Fairways, Bonita National Golf and Country Club, Raptor Bay, Spanish Wells, and Spring Run.
Those who vacation in Bonita Springs will also find award-winning dining options. Seafood remains the top choice, but local restaurants also serve international flavors, family favorites and traditional dishes. The area's diverse food scene enables guests to experience both casual and upscale atmospheres as well as waterfront dining. Top picks include Wyld's Cafe, C Level Bistro and Wine Bar, Coconut Jack's Waterfront Grill, and Mel's Diner, to name a few.
After sampling the best in local cuisine, browse boutiques and shops. Promenade at Bonita Bay welcomes guests to shop an open-air mall full of upscale boutiques, salons, spas and dining. To support other local businesses, stop by Flamingo Island Flea Market and Bonita Springs Farmers Market. Coconut Point is a mall in Estero that has dozens of big names in accessories and fashion. Then save on major brands at Miromar Outlets in Estero.
Our guests also love coming to Bonita Springs for festivals and events. Center for the Arts of Bonita Springs and Southwest Florida Event Center host big shows in music and theater.

WHAT A FIND!
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this rental! We visited for 2 weeks in November and from the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the comfort and charm of this property.Location, location, location! It doesn't get any better than this. Situated just 5 minutes away from the beach. When we wanted to explore the city, it was just a 2 minute drive. Plus, the abundance of restaurants nearby meant we were spoiled for choice when it came to dining options - from cozy cafes to fine dining establishments, there was something to satisfy every craving.As for the rental itself, it exceeded all of our expectations. Impeccably clean and tastefully decorated, it felt like a home away from home. The spacious layout provided plenty of room for our group to spread out and relax. The best part was the outdoor area including huge heated pool, jacuzzi, dinning area, bar with full kitchen and grill.Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. This rental truly exceeded our expectations in every way, and we can't wait to return for another visit. If you're looking for the perfect getaway close to the beach, city, and restaurants, look no further - this is the place!
