You will love the tranquil, peaceful sounds of the wildlife! Take advantage of the kayak and paddle boards and keep an eye out for dolphins and manatee!

The river shack is beautiful and very relaxing Nardi is an excellent host and very accommodating. He answers your inquiries immediately and we actually consider him a friend as we have stayed multiple times .Thanks Nardi for your kindness and sharing the beautiful river shack with us . And of course we will be back !!
The property was exactly as described and shown. Ease of check in and cleanliness was great. Space for 2 adults and teen. Location was close to beach, restaurants and shopping. Owner was fast to respond to messages and helped with any questions we had. We would recommend the house and hope to get back to stay when in the area. We had a great time and glad we chose the River Shack for our stay!
If you are looking for a getaway with your Mom crew 10/10 recommend. House and grounds are pristine, very clean, generous accommodations. Grocery store a mile away. Kitchen is stocked. Just bring bathing suit and sunglasses and enjoy a relaxing oasis. You can go explore or never leave until checkout. This place has it all. Owner is very responsive. We will most definitely be back. Found our ‘clubhouse’
We stay at the river shack every time we visit Bonita Springs. Love watching dolphins and Manatees swim by. It's the perfect location and Nardi is the perfect host! Love this place!!

Great communication, great pool/hot tub, great house, great stay! Really liked the outdoor area and had everything we needed! Very fast internet! Would love to come back and stay again!
This is an unusual property nicely decorated with high quality furniture and fittings. The outside area is really great. Lots of seating, a really good barbecue, a nice pool and a great outdoor sound system perfect for chilling in the evening. Right on the Imperial river which is awesome for kayaking or paddle boarding. Property is not that large so works best for couples. We stay in this area a lot and really enjoyed this house as it has a real holiday feel. We would definintely rent it again.
We spent two awesome weeks enjoying this perfect spot of relaxation. Florida one floor living at it's best. Great location close to Rte 41 with everything you need close by. The pool and spa couldn't be better. Love all the landscape lighting at night and the pool lights. We'll definitely be back again.
Had another amazing stay at the river shack. It's becoming a home away from home. Love the location, the wildlife on the river, and of course relaxing in the pool. Thank you again to our host Nardi! See you soon!
The house was wonderful! It was clean and looked just like the online images. We loved the pool and jacuzzi. My son enjoyed fishing off the dock. The location of the house was also great, close to everything we needed. The property manager was responsive when I reached out with a question. Very happy with our stay!!
Fantastic design interior, creative and beautiful with peaceful elements surrounded by plants and peace and quiet,,best place to escape to for one or two people.
Wonderful home, clean and inviting. Patio is fantastic, as is the pool and hot tub. The shower is fab! Enjoyed the wild life which is abundant on the river. Many herons, egrets, manatees (saw 4) and an occasional dolphin. Nesting osprey in neihboring property. Host was great and made sure everything was perfect for us.
This is the coolest house! The outdoor area is perfect! The decor and style at this place indoor and out is top notch. It was a perfect fit for our family of 4. Would definitely book it again. Thanks for an amazing seamless stay.
We absolutely loved the River Shack. We needed a weekend to relax and reset, this was a the perfect place for that. The property is stunning and the view is amazing! We will definitely be back!
Property is absolutely beautiful and exactly as shown and stated online! Loved every minute of stay and will definitely stay again! Landscaping and outdoors is lovely and relaxing.
Loved the home! Had a cuban tropical flare to the decor, and unexpected amenities such as the Bluetooth speakers in the yard. Great manatee watching from the dock, too! We'll be back!
Guys trip and needed a place to stay as our friends place nearby is still being worked on after the hurricane. This was close to his place and worked out perfectly. You could easily spend a month here.
