With sweeping views, a large open floorplan, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living, it feels like its own private resort—yet remains just minutes from Bonita Beach, waterfront dining, and some of the area’s top pickleball destinations.
Start your mornings with coffee on the balcony as dolphins and manatees drift past, spend sun-filled afternoons relaxing by the heated pool or heading out on the water from your private dock, and end the day with sunset cocktails under the tiki hut and dinner under the stars. Every moment here is designed for connection, relaxation, and unforgettable memories.
From herons fishing at dawn to the Bonita Springs Christmas Boat Parade in December, the river offers a show all year. Ensuite bedrooms with balconies, a private ADA-compliant elevator, a second master suite, game rooms, and a screened lanai ensure comfort, connection, and unforgettable memories for every guest.

A gourmet kitchen, fully stocked for entertaining, anchors the home, while a large screened lanai with a large Smart TV and retractable screens blurs the line between indoors and out.

This property was amazing. Our family vacation will be a longtime memory. The location was perfect (private but minutes to the beach, local restaurants and other beautiful towns.) The property was so clean, comfortable, pool and spa loved by all, the kitchen and dining area beautiful and well equipped. The recreational equipment a definite plus. The host was welcoming, gracious and attentive. Look forward to returning in the future…
This house is gorgeous. The property is large, well appointed, and great for entertaining. There is a ton of indoor and outdoor space. The pool and hot tub were easy to operate. There were a ton of games (pool, arcade, board games and the barroom slide game). There were kayaks, fishing poles, beach chairs, beach towels, and beach toys. The house had everything. This is a great property!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the home and were able to take advantage of all the amenities, from the pool and hot tub to the games and beach equipment. We really try to make sure guests have everything they need for a relaxing and fun stay.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re welcome back anytime. We’d love to have you stay again!
This was an amazing rental! The house has an open yet comfy feel to it with a view of the water from most of the rooms. Everything was very clean and in working order. The layout can accommodate a large family easily. Kitchen was fully stocked and everything you need for the pool and beach was provided. The game room, pool, hot tub, shuffleboard and ping pong table offers something for all ages. Our teenage boys claimed the whole bottom floor as their personal domain! The elevator worked well and is perfect for families needing some assistance with stairs. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. Amanda was a perfect host. Very attentive and great communications. We will definitely rent again!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. I’m thrilled to hear that the home was such a great fit for your family and that you were able to enjoy the pool, hot tub, game room, and beach amenities. I’m especially glad the elevator was helpful and that the layout gave everyone plenty of space to relax and have fun. Thank you as well for your kind words about my hosting and communication. It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and I’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime.
The property is beautiful and extremely well maintained. The home is very comfortable and has every amenity you can ask for. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!! Very relaxing!
My family and I enjoyed our stay! Pictures do not do the house justice. The house is truly luxurious and private. The second floor terrace is amazing for entertaining and gathering. We highly recommend for large families that would like to stay in the Southwest, Florida area!
Loved our stay, all family had privacy, own bathroom. Views from pool and lanai are awesome. Sit on dock for a peaceful meditation. Watch the sunrise and even saw a few dolphins.
We had the best vacation at Amanda’s home in Bonita Springs!! The house had absolutely everything we needed. Each family had their own space and the rest of the house was perfect for gathering. The outdoor spaces provided so much fun and relaxation. I highly recommend this property as your next vacation spot!!
Beautiful property - great location. Highlights included: location (close to beach, restaurants, airport.); River (everyone loved watching and waving at the boats going by); outdoor space (2nd floor lanai was our most used area); house ammenties (toddler items were a great add along with pool toys).Owners were responsive and great to deal with. Highly recommend!
Loved everything about our stay. There we 10 adults and 2 children and the house was perfect! Bathrooms in every bedroom. The pool was refreshing. The water access, the games in the lower level. Plenty of indoor/outdoor space. All made for a wonderful stay. The owner was very responsive and accommodating. I would definitely stay again.
Beautiful house on the water. Clean and big. Photos are very accurate. Lots of activities. Pool is great. Host is so responsive. Surrounding area is fine - grocery and restaurants close by. Beach is great. Generally would recommend the big house for a great family gathering. Super quiet too.
The property was exactly as advertised. Pool and hot tub were great. Elevator worked great and was very convenient just inside from the garage. Setting on the Imperial River was also very nice.
We definitely would look to stay here again in the future.
Amanda was very helpful and responded to our questions promptly.
Beautiful property away from the chaos of the beach
This home is exactly as it appears in the photos. The setting is tranquil and peaceful and away from the chaos of the beach, though only a mile away if that’s what you want to do. Owner is very responsive and took care of even the smallest issues immediately. Great amenities in the heated pool and kayaks and paddle boards and bikes. Beds were comfortable and the elevator was a must for our elderly guests and they loved being able to join us and go to any level of this home at any time.
We did a family vacation here for spring break and just wow! It comfortably fit couples, grandparents and children. The outdoor lanai was what dreams were made of! We loved spending time out there. We paddle boarded every day and enjoyed bike rides and long afternoons in the pool. As soon as our stay ended, we started to check availability for another vacation in the future! Couldn’t recommend it more!
The description is accurate. The house is very clean and impeccably decorated so didnt feel like a rental. The house is very private as backs along the river and there is an inlet in front. We saw manatees in the inlet a couple times! it is also close to beach, shopping, and there are several great restaurants nearby. The host was great and always available for us. Would definitely stay here again!!
Just. Wow. I've stayed in many rentals, but this one has to be near the top. Gorgeous top to bottom— it is both beautiful and comfortable. There are so many places to gather here. They have anticipated every need, down to the mutliple charging port in the kitchen. Speaking of, this kitchen is extremely well-stocked! Each bedroom is so pretty and comfortable, and the bathrooms are pristine. The owners' suite is literally the size of an apartment! You cannot beat the views—and we were lucky to spot many beautiful birds, manatees and dolphins. Further, Amanda was extremely easy to reach and responsive when we had questions or needs. My college pals were singing my praises for picking the ultimate gathering spot for our reunion. We are talking about coming here again...and we don't normally repeat! Made so many memories in this memorable home. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this incredible review! It means the world to us. We’re thrilled to hear that your reunion was such a success and that the house gave you the space, comfort, and views to truly enjoy your time together.
I’m especially happy you were able to see the manatees, dolphins, and all the wildlife - those moments are what make this home so special. And thank you for the kind words about the kitchen and amenities; we try to think of every little detail so guests can just relax and enjoy.
It was a pleasure hosting you and your college group, and I’m so glad I could be responsive whenever you needed anything. Hearing that your friends were praising you for choosing the perfect spot is the best compliment we could receive!
We would love to welcome you all back anytime -repeat guests are our favorite. Thank you again for taking such great care of the home and for sharing your beautiful photos.
Warmest regards,
Amanda
We had a great time in this house. The big hits for kids was the pool & pool table! For the adults, bedrooms with bathrooms! A few snafus in the beginning were immediately addressed by owner. Very good, prompt communication! Fun for everyone!

About the host
Hosted by Amanda Wohlfahrt
I grew up in Houston, TX and now split my time between St. Louis, MO and Bonita Springs, FL. I enjoy spending time with my family, going on vacations, sports, shopping, and of course the beach! Hosting has become a passion of mine because it allows me to share the beautiful places I love with others. I take pride in creating homes that feel welcoming, thoughtfully designed, and full of little touches that make a trip memorable. My goal is always to give guests the same kind of experiences I cherish when traveling—relaxation, connection, and moments you’ll remember long after your stay.
Why they chose this property
I chose this property on Aloha Lane because it embodies both privacy and prestige—nestled on a private street in the Imperial Shores community, it offers an elevated, serene lifestyle without sacrificing convenience. With its 2015 build, classic coastal architecture, large footprint (over 6,000 sq. ft.), a bayside dock with a boat lift just steps from your front door, and sweeping water views, it feels both stately and intimate. Redfin
Living here means enjoying a quiet haven while being just a short drive (or quick boat ride) from Bonita Beach and Barefoot Beach. The neighborhood has a sophisticated, resort-like atmosphere—manicured landscaping, mature trees, and high-end homes—but it’s also warm and welcoming. I love watching the sunset glow across the water, hearing boats drift by, and knowing both nature and luxury are part of daily life here.
What makes this property unique
What makes this property unique is the combination of its size, design, and setting. With over 6,000 square feet of living space, ensuite bedrooms with private balconies, a rare second master suite, and a private elevator serving all three floors, it’s designed for both luxury and convenience. The home is surrounded by water on both the front and back, giving it sweeping views of the Imperial River and creating a true sense of being on your own private retreat.
Guests especially love the massive screened lanai with retractable sliders, the tiki hut with carved wood seating, and the endless ways to relax or play—from the heated pool and spa to the game rooms and outdoor kitchen. Unlike many homes, it’s fully ADA-compliant, making it accessible and enjoyable for every generation. Add in curated touches like 9 Smart TVs, kayaks, paddleboards, bikes, and a complete guide to the best of Southwest Florida, and you have a one-of-a-kind property that blends comfort, adventure, and coastal elegance.
