I am happy to hear you enjoyed the home. Thank you for the compliments!
Clean, spacious, newly renovated home. The finishings, beds, and linens were very nice. Kitchen is well stocked with anything you’d need. They also had a high chair and pack n’ play available to use. Pool was mostly shaded all day but we didn’t mind with little ones. Angela was very responsive. Great home!

About the host
Hosted by Angela Shropshire
I live in St. Simons, GA with my husband and our five dogs. I enjoy being outside in the sunshine, taking long walks on the beach, and staying active—tennis is a favorite. Most of all, I value time spent with family.
Interior design has always been a passion, and creating welcoming home experiences brings me so much joy. I focus on spaces that feel chic and elevated while still cozy and comfortable, so our guests can truly relax and feel at home. Welcoming returning visitors is one of the best parts of hosting.
While I’m not local, my co-host Jessie is! She’s available for any urgent needs, questions, or local tips and recommendations during your stay.
Why they chose this property
Bonita Shores is one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Bonita Springs, perfectly positioned on the edge of Naples. It’s just a 5-minute drive—or a 10–15 minute bike ride—to the beach, making it easy to enjoy the coast whenever you like.
One of the standout features of the neighborhood is the network of canals that weave throughout the area. With ocean access and beautiful scenery, it truly feels like a vacation setting. Despite the peaceful atmosphere, you’re only a short drive from downtown Bonita Springs and Naples, with easy access to beaches, restaurants, shopping, and local activities.
You can also walk to a handful of nearby restaurants, a coffee shop, putt-putt, and ice cream parlors. The neighborhood itself is quiet and scenic, featuring a mix of charming older homes and newer builds, all well cared for by friendly neighbors.
What makes Bonita Shores especially special is how it offers the best of both worlds—close to everything happening in Southwest Florida, yet tucked away enough to relax, unwind, and feel truly away from it all.
What makes this property unique
Driftwood Villa sits on a canal with direct Gulf access and features a thoughtfully designed two-story layout. The main living areas are located on the second floor, while the lower level serves as a recreation space with direct access to the pool and boat slip. With a lanai upstairs and patio seating downstairs, there are plenty of spots to relax and enjoy time together—from sunny afternoons to quiet evenings by the water.
One of the standout features of the home is the floor plan. The bedrooms are arranged in separate wings, offering privacy and comfort for families or couples traveling together.
The home’s coastal-chic design sets it apart, with carefully curated furnishings and décor not often found in the area. Grand, tall ceilings enhance the open, airy feel, creating a space that’s both stylish and inviting.
