Caretakers on-site; Since we live so far away (California) we have created a separate entry apartment above the RV garage for my in-laws to stay in while not on the road with a new adventure. They take care of the property for us and may be seen tending to the yard. They are also there to quickly respond to any emergency or if requested can assist you with questions about the area. They do not use the pool, so it is exclusively for your use only.
Please note: This house is in a quiet family neighborhood, please do not inquire if you are planning any parties. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
We do have a boat dock and you are welcome to bring a boat in, however there is no boat lift currently installed, and low tide can bring the water level down to as low as one foot.
Pool: The pool is heated by pumping the water through solar panels that are installed on the roof of the house, the sun heats the panels, which heat the water. This does a good job of heating up the pool in the winter to about 78-83. The temperature does depend on how sunny the weather is and how many days in a row of cloudy weather we have. If we have cold nights and several days in a row with no sun, then the pool temperature will drop. We use a cover to help keep the heat in at night. January is typically the coldest month here and the pool will be around 78 on average in January. It has been as low as 73 and as warm as 80 in January.
Water temps in the winter: (max heat setting is 85)
November average is 81, highest 85, lowest 75
December average is 80, highest 83, lowest 75
January average is 78, highest 80, lowest 73
February average is 82, highest 85, lowest 76
Any other time of the year the pool is kept around 83.

We were able to make this our base of operations for my sister and I and our spouses to spend the holidays near our parents. This home provided a great home base for visiting friends and family, and the peaceful backyard was perfect for the occasional “alone time” escape.
We’re were busy everyday with a schedule of sports for our son to play in American Youth Football championship and it was so nice to have a relaxing quiet place to stay to feel like home. The house was amazing and the Host was even better. We noticed something was missing for the game console and immediately soon letting the Host know she purchased new ones and had them shipped immediately. My son was so impressed he only had to wait a day and he said “ that’s really nice of her” when I let him know what she did. My only hope is I get to go back for an actual vacation.
We really enjoyed our stay, the Belle Beauty was perfect for my Dad, My Girls and Myself. House was located at a perfect spot to get around.
This property is really nice with plenty of space for a large group. The Master Bedroom is huge and the Bed was very comfortable also the Walk-in-Shower was very large with a Bench to sit down on if needed. The property is kind of far away from activities but wasn't a problem for us and there's a Publix store right down the street and plenty of Restaurants around. Susan the Host was very accommodating and easy to contact and even let us stay one extra night.
We loved the house! Everything was very clean and in great condition. My kids loved the pool. We would definitely stay there again! Thank you
This property was perfect for us. We have 4 children between the ages of 3 and 7 and this house fit our needs and comforts well. Also, the kitchen is easily the best stocked kitchen of any rental I've ever stayed in, anything I needed for cooking/prep was there!
We loved the place. Nice place to stay and very relaxing.
We loved our stay; it was the perfect location for what we had planned. The check in process was smooth, the house was very clean, and I enjoyed the dock for my morning coffee. We had a great time and plan to use the house again when we come back!
This house is amazing, awesome layout (accomadated all 7 of us) very comfortable. Very nice salt water pool with private dock on the canal. Lots of wildlife around. Very fast responses from owner. We didn’t want to leave.
We go to a beach on a yearly basis. This is our 1st time visiting Bonita Springs. I was completely and utterly in love with this place from the moment we arrived!! Susan was amazing and very quick to respond to any and all of my questions. This oasis is so more than the pictures. The wildlife you see while staying here is captivating to say the least!! We saw iguanas, dolphins, ducks, egrets, turtles, an alligator, all kinds of fish, a variety of birds, the list goes on and on. I hope to make this a yearly trip with my family. I would definitely recommend staying here!! This was one of the best beach trips I have experienced. Thank you for opening your home to my family and I!!!
Very smooth process no problems
You will think you are home when you stay here! Well stocked w/ anything that you may want or need. Just pack your bathing suit, your toothbrush, and a good book and plan to relax!
This house is great, clean, spacious, close to many things. It has everything that you need. My kids said it's the best house they've stayed on vacation so far. We absolutely enjoyed it!
We were looking for a quiet, restful vacation to relax, spend time at the beach, go kajaking, and see alligators. We were not disappointed: this home is in a safe, peaceful neighborhood, has a lovely dock where we saw iguanas, birds, and turtles. Very sad to leave today.
We love the Belle Rio home! It is like being in another world, and the hosts are spectacular! Can't wait to return.
This house was amazing and met all of our needs. Great location to beach, shopping and dinning. Loved the guest book with what others have done during their stay which provided our family with some great experiences. If you stay here I would read the book to get some great adventures.
This trip to Florida was great! We rented this house and enjoyed every minute we were there. Enjoyed the pool daily, sitting outside listening to the birds chirp and then checking out the area. This property is located so close to everything! Thank you for opening up you house and if we return to the Bonita Beach area we would definitely rent again!
Very spacious and perfect for our family.
Lovely home; great view of canal lined with tropical plantings. Pool is a nice extra. My dog liked sniffing around out back as well as gazing into canal
We could not have chosen a better place to stay for our trip! The house was clean and perfectly sized for our family. The kids loved swimming and fishing off the dock. Having use of beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, cooler, etc was so helpful. Location was great, close to everything we could have needed or wanted. Susan had great communication prior to our arrival. We didn’t need anything while we were there, but I know she would have been easy to reach had we needed her. The kids are already asking when we can go back!
The house was perfect for a family of 5.
Our stay here was absolutely amazing! Beautiful home, very clean and well taken care of! Location was perfect! Close to everything but back yard was so tranquil! We enjoyed sitting on the dock the most. Blessed to watch a momma manatee and her baby one night. Great host! Highly recommend! We’ll definitely be back!
We felt like we were home while on vacation. Just a great all around place to stay in an excellent location with full access to the water, pool and great restaurants close by. We would stay here again. Thx.
This house has a beautiful backyard. My children enjoyed watching all of the tropical birds in the area. The house is spacious and very clean. We immediately felt like we were home. Beaches are nearby and beautiful!
