Guest Review (2024)
"We have never stayed anywhere quite so beautiful. It was absolutely immaculate, everything we could possibly need was provided and was of high quality, the pool was wonderful and warm, the kayaks were great fun although we were not very expert in launching them so there was a lot of laughter as we wobbled around! We played table tennis everyday, there were fab restaurants in walking distance and beautiful local beaches. It was quiet, tranquil, a great location to explore Florida and our hosts could not have been more responsive or more helpful. All in all a perfect vacation home, thank you so much. The only negative, I donโ€™t we will find another place like this so it will be a tough act to follow ๐Ÿ˜"

Could have stayed forever

From booking, checking in to my awe at arrival, this was an experience I will cherish always. The home was immaculate and well stocked with anything you might need for the beach or kitchen. Can't forget to mention how comfortable the beds were. Definitely a home for entertaining, cooking and enjoying. Plenty of room & shade. The Pool was so nice and we loved watching the birds. The location couldn't be beat. We had our puppy and the walking and neighbors could not have been more friendly. Great place. Would definitely stay here again. thank you to our very gracious host & hostess.

Great experience all around !! Kevin and Angela are great hosts, they were quick to respond and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable . The pool and outdoor space were great , launching by the pool or hanging out in the Tiki Hut which is all set up for entertaining with a grill, wine and drink refrigerators and a large island with lots of seating . Our family took bike rides , went fishing with the kayaks, hung out at the pool , went to the beach . It was a great vacation I would highly recommend this vacation home

We very much enjoyed our visit. The home was lovely and our hosts were very responsive to our needs. We especially enjoyed afternoons by the pool and having an evening cocktail in the tiki hut. One of the nicest rental homes that we have experienced.

Fabulous girls get away

Kevin and Angela were fantastic , gracious hosts. The home was beautifully decorated and included lots of little touches that make for a relasing stay. I contacted Angela to ask if there was possibly a bluetooth speaker at the house and within 4 hours, she showed up at the house with a speaker. We truly loved being able to drop the kayaks in the water and head out to paddle amongst the dolphin (3/5 days). We would definitely stay again if headed to Bonita Springs!

Wonderful stay in Bonita Springs

This lovely home met our every need and more. Our group of four adults (and sometimes 6) had plenty of room to relax and enjoy all of the thoughtful touches and amenities. The home is super clean and beautifully decorated with many delightful new features: huge tiki hut overlooking the canal and dock, bikes, kayaks and ping pong - and we took part in all of them. We especially loved the coffee station, all of the outdoor seating options and spaces, and a sunset glass of wine on the dock bench. We couldnโ€™t have asked for more. And any question we had was immediately responded to by the responsive and polite owners. It was a delightful stay in a fun location.

Great House near the beach!

There is plenty to do at the house, the pool, fishing off the dock, pingpong table, bikes for riding around the area. If you want to venture out it is a quick trip to many beaches and boat rentals! A very "locals" feel beach community! The house was clean and had everything we needed for making dinners at home and eating inside or poolside. We highly recommend for families and friends.

Easter Week 2019

Rented the home for the Easter Week 2019. Very good central spot for access to Bonita Springs Beach, Ft. Myers Beach, Naples.... Located in a residential neighborhood so you avoid the crowding of a resort area. Had a few questions on Easter Sunday and Patrick had them all addressed by the next day.

Jackpot!!

Spring break trip with our 18-year-old son and his best friend's family. We wanted his last spring break to be a home run and boy did this property and host deliver. Its location in the area could not be better, just off the main road to the beaches and close to everything. We may have spent more time in the pool area and Tiki Hut than we did at the beach. If you cannot relax and let your hair down here you need therapy. Sundowners in the HUT overlooking the water became a thing with our group. The house was super clean and was well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The kids used the kayaks and bikes almost every day. The beds were soft and the master bath was amazing. Our Host could not have been nicer and was available to answer our questions quickly. Will be renting this property again next year!!

Awesome house

This beautiful house is comfortable, very well equipped, maintained and beautifully decorated. It's plenty of room for a group or family of six. The pool with the mosquito screen is great and very convenient for relaxing. It is located about one mile away of bonita springs beach and four miles from the awesome Barefoot Preserve. You can go either by car or by bicycle to this both highly recommended beaches. Everything, from the booking process to the check in and check out is easy and the communication with the owner is fluent in case you need it. I would be happy to stay again in the future and recommend it for your stay in the gulf.

Great Home & Location

Loved our stay at this home! Traveled with my husband and two children (2 years old and 10 weeks old). There was plenty of space in the home and having a private pool was the icing on top. We even spotted a manatee off the dock which was exciting. The neighborhood is very quiet and is within walking distance to a great ice cream shop. We were also only about a 3 minute drive to barefoot beach and a 10 minute drive to Vanderbilt beach. If our kids were older we most definitely wouldโ€™ve utilized the complimentary bikes and ping pong table. Communication between Kevin and Angela was very easy as well. Would definitely reccomend staying here.

Beautiful home!

Our stay at this property was very relaxing and pleasant. We had some bad weather the first couple of days but were more than happy to make use of the ping pong table and other amenities. The house was very clean and well kept, 3min drive to the beach which was beautiful. Pat has some cruising bikes in the garage and we rode them around the neighborhood. We caught a few catfish off the dock and there were wild bunnies running around the property as well. The ice machine took over a day to start working in the kitchen but not a big deal. Pool was cold due to the rain. Outdoor space was very nice and we had dinner outside every night! Highly recommend!

Great location - lovely house

We have just returned from 10 nights in Bonita Springs and had a wonderful holiday. The best points of this property: - Close to the beach and walking distance to several good restaurants - Lovely private pool (a little cold at times) - Nice deck with beautiful views down the waterway - a manatee provided great entertainment one evening! - Great living area and bedrooms - nicely presented and very comfortable - TV/AC and internet service were all excellent There were a few minor issues: - Entrance area (front and back) are shabby so first impressions not good - Kitchen units quite worn and not very clean - Locks on entrance doors and some sliding doors to the pool very difficult to manage - including lock box for key - Bikes needed servicing - 2 were unusable and no locks for bikes so couldn't take them to the beach - No cushions for sun loungers so very uncomfortable but the hammock and beach chairs were great. Overall, this is great holiday home and we would recommend it to others looking for a quiet stay near the beach and within easy reach of excellent shopping.

Great Place for Family / Friends to Gather

We spent 9 days at Patrick's home in Bonita Springs and enjoyed every minute of it! First let me say it was very clean, bright and cheery and had everything we needed. As with our own home, we work to keep things clean and picked up; critters love a picnic. We never had a problem with uninvited guests. Absolutely love the pool area! Great for coffee in the morning with a good book, relaxing in the afternoon, and cocktails in the evening. It was tough to leave the comfort and relaxation of this home to go to the beach! But with only a couple minutes drive and the use of the beach chairs, towels, and cooler, we had perfect days at the beach as well. We loved the centralized location. It is close to restaurants, as well as the cities of Bonita Springs, Estero, Ft. Meyers, or Naples. So many great restaurants to choose from. As with any VRBO we have ever stayed in, things will come up along the way. We found Patrick and Dave to be very prompt in scheduling time to take care of what we needed. And very pleasant to work with. We would definitely stay in this home again. P.S. The hot water in the master shower works... it just take a couple of minutes!! Be patient!

PERFECT for Families!

This was our first time using VRBO and we were so impressed. The property is exactly as described in the listing. I assumed we would have a few hiccups or things not quite as explained, but we had no issues whatsoever. The house was very clean and exactly as pictured. The master bedroom and bath are amazing! My 3 kids fit in the extra bedrooms perfectly. The pool area was a great size, loved the patio overlooking the water - we even saw two manatees hanging out in front of the dock. We loved the bikes and the ping pong table. Those were great additions that made our stay even better! We were able to bike to a nearby store to shop for fun souvenirs, the Royal Ice Cream Shop, and the grocery store and neat little restaurants are very close as well. There is a really nice bike path along Vanderbilt Drive that we went to almost every day. We appreciated the small amounts of laundry, dishwasher, hand soap, toilet paper, and paper towels that were provided. There were no weird noises, the temperature was great, and everything worked except the jets in the jacuzzi in the master - but that's not a big deal. We also couldn't get into the front door with the code provided, so we just used the side garage door - which we probably would have used regardless. We were just a little nervous arriving at night and the code not working - but we figured it out. I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. We all loved our trip and this property so much! We would highly recommend it to any family or even a couple. Perfect location, nice sized home, and very clean and nice upgrades. Thank you so much!

Some good, some not so good

My husband and I just returned from a 5-night stay at this home. Before arrival, we alerted the host that we would be arriving late. By the time we got to the home, it was just before 9:00PM. The house was completely dark. No lights on inside or outside. The front door code did not work. Using our iPhone flashlights, we were able to navigate to the side door, where the lock box was located. It was extremely difficult to open, but we finally managed to get it open, so we could use the key to go into the dark home. The house was clean and as described, for the most part. The master bedroom mattress is extremely uncomfortable because it has a very odd โ€œhumpโ€ in the middle of it. (Plus, the sheets donโ€™t fit. The โ€œfittedโ€ sheet is definitely NOT fitted.) The blinds do close all the way to the floor, but there is light streaming in on all sides. There is a skylight in the master bath that makes the bedroom very bright, if you donโ€™t close the pocket door into the bath. There is not an accessible electrical outlet next to the bed (in the master) to charge your phone and/or iPad/tablet. We are used to instant hot water at our own home. Having to wait for well over 5 minutes for the shower water (or any water at any tap) to heat is something we werenโ€™t used to. The water pressure in the master shower is very low. In the other bathroom, the shower pressure was fine, but the water pressure at the sink was very low. Be aware that you will also have to purchase ice, if you want it, because the ice maker does not work and there are no ice trays. (It may not be hooked up to a water line?) Finally, the instructions say that you must not leave anything behind, like unopened bottles of Diet Coke, or youโ€™ll be charged a โ€œremoval fee.โ€ We had to pour out all the unopened soft drinks and throw away the unopened food, etc. Such a wasteโ€”these items could be donated to a local shelter. Would we stay in this home again? Iโ€™m not sure. It has issues that didnโ€™t comport with what we expected or wanted. but note that there is nothing dishonest in the homeโ€™s description.

Great location / Not the best experience

Overall, we enjoyed ourself for a 4-night stay over the 4th of July weekend. Our stay, however, was not without its hiccups along the way. The VRBO app and the email sent from VRBO prior to check-in had the wrong code to the front door, so be sure to verify that prior to your arrival. The property owner was quick to resolve the issue and we were let inside the house to find a clean, updated space with nice finishings. It was 77 degrees when we checked in, so we immediately turned the thermostat down to cool the place off. After 2.5 hours of the temperature staying the same (actually rising to 78), I decided to text the property manager to see if they had experienced any issues with the AC before, or if there was anything we needed to do differently to get it to work (the air was flowing, but the temperature of the air from the vents was no cooler than the room temperature). The property manager Dave was quite rude in his text response, and assumed that the house was not cooling off because we must have the windows/doors open (which of course was not the case). He did later apologize, although the was rude later in the stay when we reported the same issues with the AC and the temperature of the house. I finally decided to contact the owner, who was very apologetic, and had an AC repair company come out the next day to evaluate the problem. It was determined that there was a leak in the coils and it would have to be replaced once a new coil had been ordered. There was no answer for why the front bedroom had no airflow whatsoever from the AC vent. The guest who was staying in this bedroom had to sleep on the couch each night because the room was so hot. In addition to the AC issues, the refrigerator did not work properly (it cooled our food items, but probably to around 50ish degrees Iโ€™m guessing, despite the fridge temp being set to 33 degrees). And the ice maker did not work. The toilet in the laundry room bathroom sounds like an earthquake when you flush it, but that was a minor nuisance compared to the AC. Overall, other than the terrible customer service rendered by the property manager Dave, as well as the AC issues, the house was in a great location, and within easy walking distance to several restaurants in town. Unless they fix the AC airflow problem in the front bedroom, I would not recommend booking this house if you need 3 bedrooms, as only 2 of them are inhabitable.

The house is beautiful, but at the beginning it was not clean over all, especially the floor and the grill. The owner and the manager of the property reacted very fast and at the evening the floor of the house and the grill was very clean. We had a lovely stay. Unfortunately there are different constructions at the neighbors properties, so there was sometimes a construction noise. Allthough we enyojed our stay and can recommend the house. Family Muehleis

Spectacular home and wonderful hosts!

We stayed in this beautiful home a number of years ago and while there were some issues at the time, we still enjoyed our stay and kept it on our search list. But wow, the remodel and upgrades are outstanding and the new owners have done everything possible to make this property perfect! We love the location on the canal, the bright, airy feel and beautiful decor. The pool area and temperature was ideal, bikes great and everything else we needed was provided and of excellent quality. The master bedding and new mattress was one of the most comfortable beds I have slept in! Angela and Kevin were amazing hosts, right from the start. They really care and it shows, adding so many thoughtful extra touches that make such a difference. Would we return? Absolutely! Thanks again Angie and Kevin.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin & Angela Swanepoel

Host profile image
Kevin & Angela Swanepoel just upgraded this magnificent 5-star rental property. We both grew up in South Africa and relocated to the USA 23 years ago. We love all things water and currently live in Bonita Springs with our two Golden Doodles, Maverick & Marley, who spend their lives in the water.

We are both Scuba Dive Instructors and keen sailors.

Why they chose this property

We absolutely love the Bonita shoreline. Our home is just a mile from Barefoot Beach, which is constantly rated one of the best beaches, not only in Florida but in the USA. As a very active family, we love to sail, boat, Standup Paddle, and kayak, exploring the waterways around this incredibly scenic area.

This home is ideally situated close to Naples, Fort Meyers, Estero, and Fort Meyers Beach. It is also a quick boat ride to Sanibel Island, Captiva, or Cabbage Key, where you can stop for lunch at one of the oldest Dollar Bars. If you are more into Golf, Tennis, and Pickle Ball, you will find amazing facilities, courses, and clubs all around. Fort Myers International Airport is only a 28-minute drive away, giving you more time to enjoy your stay without the pressure of too much traveling!

What makes this property unique

This lovely home is all on one level, great for all ages of family, is beautifully decorated and newly renovated. A huge new bonus is the Tiki Hut, which provides an amazing entertainment area for guests. The views from the deck and dock are magnificent. Grab a cocktail, and enjoy watching the sunset, playful dolphins, or the occasional manatee swimming by. The pool is very private and heated, just what is needed after a lazy day on the beach. The outdoor deck offers time to BBQ while enjoying the canal views and aquatic life.
