Beautiful Bonita Home

This was our family’s 2nd stay in this beautiful home. We love the renovations the owners have done since our last stay (and the house was beautiful then too). The owners are easy to communicate with, the house is very comfortable and clean and the location is great and was very convenient for us.

We had a great time at Mitch and Mary's home. The location is great - close to beaches and shopping. The house was very well stocked with anything we needed and the bikes were super fun.

Covid getaway

We had a very pleasant month long stay. The house was very clean and neat and the kitchen was well equipped. The beds were very comfortable. The screened in pool/spa and lanai is where we spent most of our time, soaking in the pool/spa while listening to music, reading many books, and grilling dinner followed by watching outdoor TV in the evening. The gated community created a great place to walk or bike with minimal car traffic and there were many friendly neighbors doing the like. Restaurants and stores were within walking distance or a short car ride. Of course our favorite was Royal Scoop which had light lunches and incredible ice cream treats. The miles of white sand beaches were two miles away with pay car parking if one felt the walk was a little far.
