We loved this house and the location! It was perfect for us! The house was very clean and well stocked with basics. It's location right along the river was just so nice - there is a big patio door and each morning we would watch the sun rise. The community dock was nice and far away enough from our house that other people being on that dock was not bothersome to us. We would highly recommend this place! It is 1/5 miles from the beach but that didn't bother us. It was a very short bike ride to the beach. The neighborhood is so quiet and nice. We did a lot of evening walks just in the neighborhood.

Great location

We enjoyed sitting right by the Imperial River. Our cabin had a nice private patio or we could join other guest on the dock.

First time to Bonita Springs

This cottage is a gem. The driveway is a little tight for a super duty truck with boay and trailer but property manager and owners were very accommodating allowing us to park trailer/boat on side property.

Quaint, cozy

This is a delightful place. The setting on the river is relaxing. Boat noise is no problem. The cottage was clean and well stocked. It is convenient to Publix, Doc's, Wylds Cafe, and Royal Scoop.

winter getaway

Everything was very nice except the 2 loveseats were very uncomfortable. But I understand they pull out to beds. But it wasnt the best seating in the living room. The back yard and river was very pretty.

Shutters by the Beach is an amazing 2nd row beach rental! We vacationed with our entire family (17 of us - 1yr to 64yrs old) & we loved it! There is plenty of space to cook, eat, rest & play - both inside & outside! The front porches have ocean views & plenty of chairs to sit & enjoy them, especially the upper deck! The Windy Hill area is much quieter & less busy than some other N Myrtle areas where we have stayed, making the front decks very relaxing & not noisy @ all!The back yard & pool are truly outstanding as well - we swam everyday! We also grilled numerous evenings & relaxed around the family-sized table & on the many loungers. The beach is a quick walk away, no trouble @ all to come & go as you please - great for nap time for the littles! We also appreciated the solar-heated shower for rinsing the sand off after the beach.The beds are all quite comfortable & having en-suites for each family was absolutely necessary! Also, having an extra bathroom on each floor worked out great - especially the downstairs one, so our upstairs family members didn’t have to go up to their rooms to use the facilities!As expected with any rental property, we did experience a few minor issues when we first arrived, but everything was handled quickly & efficiently to make our stay very pleasant! Also, all of the maintenance staff we met were amazingly happy & friendly - so refreshing!We highly recommend Shutters by the Beach & hope to stay again next summer! 🩴

More than what we expected…

From the moment we embarked on our getaway, Dave and Angela’s Quiet Quaint Cottage on the Imperial River presented itself as a sanctuary of serenity and comfort, surpassing all our expectations and revitalizing our faith in the VRBO experience. Tucked away in a serene location, the cottage's proximity to local attractions offered the convenience we sought without compromising the tranquility we desired. Every corner of the cottage whispered elegance, with updated decor that seamlessly blended charm with modernity. The appliances were updated making it feel like a home away from home. The backyard was a chapter from a fairy tale. It offered an intimate connection with nature, with the Imperial River serving as the perfect backdrop for our evening reflections and morning coffee. The tranquility it provided was unmatched, creating moments of peace we so deeply cherished. Our journey to finding this haven was not without its hurdles. A previous unpleasant experience with a VRBO host left us wary, but Dave and Angela emerged as our knights in shining armor. Their exceptional communication skills, attention to detail, and warmth turned our apprehensions into a distant memory. They were extraordinarily accommodating, seamlessly facilitating our early arrival and late departure, which spoke volumes of their consideration and hospitality. The meticulousness with which Dave and Angie managed every aspect of our stay was commendable. They set clear expectations and provided all
