Quiet, safe area - convenient to beaches, restaurants, airport, Bonita Springs town. House was clean and a great layout. Hosts provided so many extras - very helpful to avoid spending money on things you barely use in the house, or multiple trips to the store. Beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers - all here! Pool and seating around the pool were our favorite - basking with the lizards and playing ball! Hosts were super responsive. WE LOVE PELICAN PLACE!!!

Wow—thank you for such a thoughtful review! We’re so happy to hear you made the most of the pool (and enjoyed the local lizard company 😊) and that the extras made your stay easier. It was a joy hosting you, and guests like you are exactly why we love doing this. We’d be thrilled to welcome you back to Pelican Place anytime!
The home is lovely and convenient to everything. We had a great time lounging by the pool and exploring the things to see and do in the area.

Very much enjoyed our stay. Check in went well and owners were available for all questions. House was very well equipped and had everything we needed. The pool was enjoyed by all. Location was close to stores, restaurants and a short drive to the beach. We would definitely consider a return to your home.

This house was perfect for my family and my brother's family to stay while visiting our parents. The home was clean, the pool was great and the ping pong table was used every night after dinner. Conveniently located to grocery stores and restaurants and only 15 min to the beach. We had a fabulous getaway over the 4th of July!

The house was beautiful and accommodated our family and extended family for a Thanksgiving break! Unfortunately the pool was only heated for half of our stay due to heater issues. The owners were responsive and we were able to enjoy the pool for the last part of our stay. Location was great- close to beaches! Game area was awesome!

We had a terrific time at Pelican Place! 12 of us stayed there and we’re very comfortable. We weren’t on top of each other and had multiple things to do on rainy days. It was also so close to many beaches that we had our choice of things to do each day!

Location is great. Some nice touches and amenities in the kitchen and bath. House is spacious and outdoor area has more than ample seating and table for outdoor dining. Pool is perfect size.
We had a check in issue with the code not working but that was resolved right away. Good communication with hosts and they were pleasant to work with.

Glad you enjoyed your time at Pelican Place, enjoyed the extra amenities, and found it to be spacious inside and out. We’d love to host you again!
Had a great stay here! The house was super clean and as described. The his+hers shower heads in the master bathroom was an awesome feature. There were also plenty of towels for both bathrooms and for the pool/beach, and the kitchen was stocked with everything you’d need to cook a meal. All 8 adults enjoyed the space and relaxing in the backyard pool, with the tropical landscaping and privacy fence. Would recommend this booking to friends and family wishing to relax in a large space but be driving distance (about 10 minutes) to the beaches.

The house had plenty of space for our family in town for a cousins wedding. The kids loved the pool and game area. Everything you could need for a day at the beach (trust us we run a beach store in DE). Thoughtful with the amenities that went above and beyond, dish soap, laundry soap, hand soap, toilet paper. Shampoo and conditioner, etc. Plenty of space to gather, relax and dine together.

Everything was perfect! Wonderful, clean and fully equipped place to stay for a week!
The Pelican Place was well maintained, clean and was better (and bigger) than it looked in the pictures! We had 7 adults and 4 boys under the age of 7 and there was plenty of room to accommodate all of us. The pool was a hit with the kids and there were plenty of toys, chairs and tables around the pool provided for guests. The kitchen had plenty of dishes, utensils and cookware to make dining in easy! Quiet subdivision located minutes away from stores, beaches and restaurants! Thanks for a great stay... we'll be back!

We spent 3 nights in the home while visiting family in Naples. Home is very well equipped with everything you could need, beach chairs, trash bags, beach towels, games and children's books. Located in a quiet neighborhood and close to Publix and other convenient stores. Pool was clean and heated with plenty of seating options on the pool deck. I would stay here again, which is always a good thing! Our only difficulty on the trip had nothing to do with the VRBO is the local beaches are difficult to access after the hurricanes last year, combined with snowbird season increasing population. Clam Pass Beach had the most available parking and arrive before 11am.

Thanks for the kind review, Amie! We’re so glad your family enjoyed your time at Pelican Place! Thank you also for the tips on the beaches. We have always found that going earlier in the day is much easier to find parking…even before the hurricanes, so that’s great advice. We hope to host you again sometime!
About the host
Hosted by Nichole Dillner
PELICAN PLACE came to be after staying at several Airbnb and Vrbo homes in different states over the last few years while on vacation. When it was just the two of us, or even all four of us, it was easy to find a nice place to stay. When vacationing with family friends though, we were looking for a beautiful home that would comfortably accommodate two families (10 people total in our case). We were also hoping to find somewhere that had extra entertainment features for our kids, like a pool and game room. Not only was it a challenge to find a home that would accommodate all of us, but it was near impossible to find one with the extra features we wanted to make our vacation extra special.
At that moment, we decided to buy a home in an area we would like to vacation, and furnish it with everything we would want for our perfect vacation. Thankfully, we had friends who bought a home in Cape Coral a year earlier and had already been through this process. With their help, one month later we put an offer in on a beautiful 4 bedroom, plus den, 2.5 bath pool home in Bonita Springs that would easily accommodate a large group. A month after that, it was officially ours and we were fixing it up, furnishing it, and getting it ready for us to experience our first spring break at our new home with friends. It was everything we were hoping it would be, and we look forward to building many more lasting memories at PELICAN PLACE with our family and friends. Our hope is that you do too!
We hope you choose to stay at Pelican Place! We know you will love it as much as we do!
Kind Regards, The Dillner Family
