Contrast from the hectic modern life. Indulge in relaxing free time without constant TV blaring. (but we do provide internet access) Step into our retro/tiki/vintage style home, inspired by old florida, and travel near and far. Vintage show pieces in each room help transport you to a slower pace, And the sight of palm trees remind you that you are not in Kansas anymore? A large 2 bedroom, 2 bath apt. with a lanai/patio looking onto a creek and subtropical splendor. There's a futon style sofa bed in the lanai room, a sofa in living room that I've slept on comfortably, and a couch in one of the bedrooms that can sleep one.

This charming Bonita Springs rental was the perfect spot for our getaway! We loved the cozy feel and all the unique and interesting trinkets throughout the space – it really gave the place personality. Comfortable and cute, it had everything we needed for a relaxing week. Highly recommend!
We love staying at this fun and creatively decorated property. This was our second time in the main house and we have also stayed in the apartment two other times. Would be happy to return! Breakfast on the indoor lanai is just terrific!
We loved the decor it's a very Pacific island type motif. Lots of Tikis!! We were amazed at the amount of wildlife that visited out back towards the creek. Just got to say Bruce that the place was totally awesome!!! We saw Great Heron, Great Blue Heron, Black Vulture, and several Anole lizards (named most of them) and One GIANT one came to visit a couple of times to eat the berries of the little tree on the lanai. We also saw a pretty good sized iguana sunning at the top of the taller palm on the left of the steps down by the creek. We saw evidence of Raccoon (turned over our shell buckets and eft footprints on the canoe) and saw a grey squirrel. We were close to many great restaurants and centrally located for our shelling expeditions. So fairly short drive down to Marcos Island and up to Sanibel. Thanks so much!!
The house is a tribute to old florida, and to travels near and far. It's a kaleidoscope of color and vintage treasures. It's not a cookie cutter kind of place.
