The Tucker House - Historical Bonita Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Originally built in 1937, the "Tucker House" is a beautiful example of classic Florida architecture. The welcoming wood and cedar panels throughout create the feel of a riverfront lodge, with the open full kitchen (set up with full-size, modern appliances) allowing plenty of room for good times. Fresh air is perhaps best enjoyed out in the comfortably furnished screened-in porch. But those who want to be right on the river will find plenty of space to relax in the covered outdoor gazebo. Have fun grilling or just enjoying the sunshine in the lovely backyard! The Sonos system is perfect for setting the mood with your favorite music. Within walking distance to the Historic District of Bonita Springs, you can access the path adjacent to the home to walk or bike through Island Park and catch a quick workout or take a relaxing stroll under a canopy of majestic Oak, Banyan, and Buttonwood trees and bridge over the Imperial River which takes you right to the heart of town. Step back in time, relax, and enjoy the charm and peacefulness of Old Florida. You'll also be near several local attractions, including additional parks, Barefoot Beach, the Hertz Arena, and Bonita Fairways Club Golf.

Great location
Cute home in a great location, with lots of accessibility, but with some issues. During our stay there was water soaking interior walls from the rain and a strong musty smell in one of the smaller bedrooms. Also, a bathtub valve broke, leaving the water running for over 24 hours that no one came out to fix despite reaching out. Without these issues, the house would be a great spot to stay and simple option for those looking for a cozy cabin feel.

Love the house, we enjoy the stay. But the pans were dirty and I have to wash the the ones I used. The master room needs new mattress and bedspread, I’m a hotel GM and will better if the beds don,t have bedspread like the hotels, but. Will comeback soon.

The property is very charming. Fully equip kitchen and everything we had hoped it would be. The only issue for us was the bed, it was so soft we rolled into the middle. If you like soft bed then this place is ideal.

Our second stay at Tucker house was even better than the first!
Everything we needed was available in this quaint historic home. Comfy beds and a well-equipped kitchen. We enjoyed sitting in the front screened-in porch as well as the large backyard pavilion. We love the location; morning/evening walks through the park adjacent to the property lead us downtown for coffee, wine and ice cream. What a treat! The home is close to many great restaurants, beaches, local attractions and shopping. We Maybe we’ll try out the bikes and kayaks next trip!

Frozen First Night
Was surprised to discover the house had no central heat. It was freezing inside from a 3 day cold snap prior to my arrival. Had to look around for space heaters which took hours to warm the rooms. Got into an ice cold bed the first night. Still chilly next morning. There was a problem with the hot water. Furniture was uncomfortable and needed to be rearranged to see TV. Not a good value at all.

Absolutely wonderful!
This was the perfect cottage for us. Very comfortable bed, fully equipped kitchen, nice quiet neighborhood, very clean, with wonderful amenities. Although not quite on the river, it is on a canal that leads to the river. Adjacent to the Riverside park and easy walking distance to downtown. Exceptional management and YES we would highly recommend it and would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay
The property is beautiful! We enjoyed the screened-in front porch for morning coffee and the back outdoor dining area for lunch. There were thoughtful little touches like toilet paper in the shape of a rose that my 4 year old keeps talking about! Only complaint is the master bed, a little uncomfortable and noisy bed frame each time you move around, and sheets were very stiff. Otherwise, loved our stay!! About 10 minutes from the beach. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful house in a great location!
This was the perfect house for me and my husband, toddler and infant. We loved how clean, bright and spacious it was, and especially appreciated the short drive to the beach. I would have given it 5 stars if it weren’t for the bed. The mattress had no support, the sheets felt like paper and the crinkly waterproof mattress cover was hot and uncomfortable. Luckily with the extra blankets provided we could at least make the bedding more comfortable.

Historic was way overrated
This house is historic but don't let that fool you. Bonita Springs was once a very nice small town in Southwest FL but not anymore. This house is located in a not so good looking neighborhood. It backs up to a walk way park with a bridge that connects park with street in front of house. There is lots of walking traffic right next to house. The cleanliness was not good either. If you have visitors there is no couch or sofa in living room. I highly recommend paying the extra money and stay in Naples. We have never been disappointed leasing there and you are in a much safer area too.
