Absolutely an adorable home that has a lovely beach decor. The setup is very pet friendly with fenced yards. The location is close to everything! Our host was lovely, very informative and quick to respond to questions. Highly recommend this if you travel with pets.
We enjoyed our stay so much! It was spotless and had everything we needed! We loved the fenced in back yard for our dog! The hosts were readily available if we needed anything. It was perfect. We will definitely be back in the future!
Very nice property, and the best hosts! Steve and Abbe were very accommodating to our needs. We have stayed there several times, and would not hesitate to return! Highly recommend this property!
Moved out of our home after 27 years…stayed at the Cottage for our last week in the area.Great size & amenities, including toiletries & kitchen items! And terrific location! Our cat loved the back porch!!
This property was absolutely perfect for us (3 adults 1 small dog). It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. An added bonus was the decor - loved the turtle lamps! We will definitely book it again when we return to Bonita Springs.
We enjoyed our stay. The property is comfortable and well equipped. Located near everything we wanted to do on our trip. The fishing in Estero Bay way really fun. We will be back in the spring.
This property is great! Very clean, very well decorated, and very comfortable! Excellent amenities. Very conveniently located to everything. We really could not have asked for more. We will definitely be back!
We love this property, for the fenced yard area for our dogs, and the convenient location, for starters. The house is well maintained and very well appointed. We like the open floor plan and all of the furnishings are very comfortable. It’s more tranquil than expected. The owner is attentive and responsive, and truly cares about the quality of your stay. This was our second stay, and we will be back again!
We enjoyed our stay at the Sea Shell Cottage. The fenced in backyard was perfect for our dog and the location was convenient to the beach, Naples, Sanibel Island and my Mom's house, who lives in Bonita Springs. The Cottage was clean and had everything we needed including the ability to stream movies on Netflix or Amazon Prime. Thank you for your hospitality.
We drove down to Bonita Springs with our small dog and the place was great as it had a backyard and a quiet neighborhood to walk her. The house was clean and comfortable and hosts were attentive and easy to reach. All sorts of shopping and beach were both just minutes away!
Would definitely stay there again😊
This was a spur-of-the-moment trip. The house was clean and exactly as listed. The location was perfect, close to everything. I would highly recommend it!

The lakeview offers so much wildlife and is so peaceful. It's a crowd pleaser.
We spent two weeks in FL visiting friends and this cottage was the perfect place for us to stay. It was VERY clean, nicely decorated and spacious. The hosts were super wonderful with any questions we had. Having a small home to stay in for an extended period of time was perfect. We highly recommend this VRBO, Thank you for sharing with us.

First I am an animal lover and welcome your pets. I have just earned Super Host status on my first VRBO property and have many great reviews on a charming lake villa at 8526 Tamara Court. As a 40-year resident of Bonita Springs and full-time professional Realtor for 31 years, I enjoy everything outdoors from boating to biking, and am well-connected to just about anything fun in SWFL! I am converting 8 of my annual rental units into first-class and well-priced VRBO short-term rentals with new everything!
