Bonita Springs stay

Very clean. Importantly, you have a LIVE wire hanging over the corner of the entrance landing. It’s the power line from the utility pole that has come loose from the eave of the house- looks like you had some hurricane damage? Regardless, you should call the utility company and ask them to come out and fix it asap before someone gets killed. This is NOT a joke.

Horrible

Rating would be -100 or F-. When I arrive the door was locked, the code didn't work et... ended up getting in without the proper code, texted owner - late repsonse. The owner needs to understand that when a customer stays and pays over $3,500 - one excepts: all renovations projects should not be occurring - like replacing the siding at 7am multiple times for hours. Never a heads up just workers arriving pounding on the house nonstop. The unit below (permeant tenant) was saying the same.... how is this possible and why didn't he say anything. I ended up leaving at least a week early without consideration of any sort of a refund :explanation is: forgot to mention. Lastly this place is a disaster - the latest flood leveled the back area it looks like a war zone. I have plenty of pics of the property and is nothing like it looks like online. This place could be the last place standing on earth I would not stay.

Wonderful Weekend Getaway!

What a great weekend! The location was perfectly located and the neighborhood, nice and quiet. Everything was clean and well stocked. We had amazing breakfasts up the road at a new restaurant called Waffle Monkey which has amazing Gluten Free waffles!!! We also rode our dirt bikes to the beach and up the coast which was beautiful, relaxing, and really fun exploring the area. Seeing the damaged state of Fort Myers, post Hurricane Ian, was sobering and I’ll continue to keep the people affected in my prayers. We initially had a slight hiccup with the keyless entry that was quickly resolved. There was ample space to kennel our fur babies (golden retriever and shih tzu) anytime we were away and they were calm and comfortable. The neighbor downstairs was very friendly and we had a great conversation about the plants and trees on the property (my husband and I are plant and nature enthusiasts). All-in-all, this was a great place to stay and we would definitely do so again!

About the host

Hosted by Steve Baptiste

Hi everyone. I'm Steve. Welcome to Florida. I was born in Allentown, PA and grew up in South Carolina. After a prolonged enrollment at Clemson University I moved to the sunshine state. I've been down here for 8 years now and have loved every second of it. I put away the finance degree and went self employed and have never looked back.

Why they chose this property

I purchased my first house while a student at Clemson. I have always liked Real Estate. I bought this unit a few years back when it was still in need of much work. It had one thing that I will never forget...character. There are a ton of cookie cutter homes or dime a dozen condos scattering Southwest Florida. Mine is the only place like this!

What makes this property unique

Location location location. This place is right where you want to be. A mile to the beach and a block to the river the water is never far away. Be it the vaulted ceilings and exposed wood beams that you never see anymore, or the close proximity to everything you need, you can't go wrong.
