Thanks Ken i really enjoyed my stay second year I have rented your home. . View was great with wonderful sunsets,. 10th floor condo high enough to not have have to hear the nose of others coming and going. Condo had every thing I wanted. Spent most of my time shelling .Centrally located to every beach and islands I wanted to shell at. 7 days of shelling was not enough. .I am planning on returning next year. The only thing that I would suggest is that the you need to update the kitchen cabinets and the faucet in the bathroom shower.

The room itself was adequate. The view and location were spectacular! The condo buildings are a bit “weathered” so that was more annoying than inconvenient. The pools were nice enough. This unit is on the 10th floor overlooking the beach so the sunsets were amazing!
Only drawback was the construction early in the morning. Being a prior resident of Florida. Understand why they do work so very early. A Special THANK YOU TO OUR HOST!! Our flight was cancelled and he let us stay one more day!!!
Great location, great few, walking distance to the beach to doc's Beach House. Close enough to all the beaches and everywhere I wanted to go. I would recommend and have recommended this property for anyone who wants to get away for a week or so and have peace and quiet.
We enjoy daily beach views and sunsets as never before. We enjoyed the apartment, the whole place, the showers and the walking to the beach every day. We had a great and relaxing long weekend.

I don't know how you can beat 10th floor over the beach for location. As for traffic, the winter months are congested, just part of Florida life. After the Hurricanes we are experiencing a high commercial traffic which should slow down in time.
This beautiful Gulf-side condo is in a complex that is under construction, which explains the excellent price. If you're willing to accept some inconveniences caused by the construction, the condo itself is beautiful. We particularly enjoyed sitting on the screened-in balcony overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. The host is very accessible and pleasant to work with.

I went to the property to address this issue, I could not find any mold? The cleaning service didn't find any either.
Was hit by a hurricane, pool was not usable but the beach is right across the street. Had some problems with an appliance but the host took care of it immediately. The beds and pillows were a bit hard for us but we made due. Overall it was OK.

Didn't quite meet our expectations
The location of the property is fine - across a very busy street from a beach which quickly became crowded by mid-day. What I disliked was the fact that the beds were extremely uncomfortable and there was construction ongoing during our entire stay (of which I was unaware). Returning to the area in a few months, but not booking at this location.

tks for letting me know, i have added pillow top mattress pads to the beds. I'm sorry about the construction but it was disclosed in the description.
Ideal Location. Post Hurricane Improvements Still Occurring
Scheduling two months ago for a beach location during Spring Break, we were happy to find this penthouse Bonita Springs efficency unit. Booking this unit is all about the view and location and less about the amenities. Literally across the street from the beach and walking distance to two restaurants. The unit is in need of alot of up grades but the beds were comfortable with a retractable accordian wall to separate the sleeping area from the sitting area. Unit came with the basic necessities although outdated. The provided beach chairs were usable but the chairs are old starting to rust out. The elevator was ready to use with barely any waiting going up and down. We really enjoyed the balcony view and the amazing sunsets. People we encountered were very friendly and the host was quick to respond to any texts.

Very bad experience
Upon arrival we realized the building was being remodeled with noises from outside during the day. On the half of the week out balcony was completely closed, no having access to it or the wiew (the main reason of renting this place). The noises fron the drilling and workers walking outside from 8:00 am and during nap time were terrible, not being able to rest AT ALL. NOT RECOMMENDED. It seems like the remodeling process is going to take a few more weeks.
Not happy. The balcony was not available for use. The kithen faucet was super loose, The tub was unsafe, no bathmat or protection from slipping, the tub drain is clogged only one handle was there (regular door handle) the other was not there (the holes were). Kitchen cabinet had to be pushed shut. The lock box could not be closed to return the key. This place needs a major update. Would have been better to just stay in Hotel. Very disappointed.
First of, the condo is still under construction as stated by owner. The pool is not operable and not sure about the other amenities which i did not use. When I first arrived getting in was a bit confusing since the parkings main entrance for our building was closed due to construction. The only entrance was down by the first 5500 building and Bonita beach road street which was a long way around but not too bad. Apartment is a bit old but very nicely decorated can’t really complain for the price. Construction was a bit noisy but also not too bad. They do start around 8am so if you’re planning on sleeping in not a very good place for you. I was always up way before that to make the most of my day. The beds are comfortable but there are only two full beds which didn’t make much sense to me. I stayed with my husband and we were both sleeping a bit crammed. The ocean view on the balcony is beautiful and overlooks the whole Bonita beach. Communication with the owner was great and he replies pretty quick. Overall if I had a nice stay and I would definitely stay here again due to it’s great location and price.

I was very pleased with the accommodations. Beautiful ocean view and a convenient location. Unfortunately, after letting property owner know I was arriving late at night, property owner failed to inform me to put a paper on my car dashboard with my unit number and my phone number. Due to this lack of communication from the property owner, my rental car was booted and required a 75.00 removal fee.
