It's called The River Shack... but it's more like The River Chic ... You will feel like you are at an all inclusive private resort here at The River Shack - completely and privately inclusive for you!

Each bedroom has a queen bed to sleep a total of four guests. The living room is furnished with a sofa bed to accommodate two additional guests. The kitchen is fully equipped for preparation of all meals. A laundry room is on site as well, so pack as little or as much as you like!

Enjoy an enormous outside entertainment area to include an outdoor kitchen, lots of dining space, fire pit, heated pool & spa all while admiring the amazing view of the Imperial River.

You will love the tranquil, peaceful sounds of the wildlife! Take advantage of the kayak and paddle boards and keep an eye out for dolphins and manatee!

The River Shack is a nice bike ride away from the up and coming Downtown Bonita Springs... check out the Survey Cafe, the Downtown Wine & Coffee Company and the newly opened Rooftop at Riverside. You may even be around for a concert event or festival at Riverside Park. Of course, Bonita Beach is just about 5 miles away. So much to do!

Book your vacation at the River Shack, relax and enjoy this vacation gem... you won't want to leave!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the River Shack. The home is exceptional, furnished beautifully, and well-stocked. The pool and hot tub could not be better and the speakers located throughout the yard with a playlist set up to use was an added enjoyment. Nardi was a great host and always available to answer any questions we had. The location of the home is perfect...close to everything you could want. We just can't say enough about how we loved this property! Thank you, Nardi, and we plan on coming back next year!Dennis & Nancy

    If you are looking for a getaway with your Mom crew 10/10 recommend. House and grounds are pristine, very clean, generous accommodations. Grocery store a mile away. Kitchen is stocked. Just bring bathing suit and sunglasses and enjoy a relaxing oasis. You can go explore or never leave until checkout. This place has it all. Owner is very responsive. We will most definitely be back. Found our ‘clubhouse’

    The property was exactly as described and shown. Ease of check in and cleanliness was great. Space for 2 adults and teen. Location was close to beach, restaurants and shopping. Owner was fast to respond to messages and helped with any questions we had. We would recommend the house and hope to get back to stay when in the area. We had a great time and glad we chose the River Shack for our stay!

    This is an unusual property nicely decorated with high quality furniture and fittings. The outside area is really great. Lots of seating, a really good barbecue, a nice pool and a great outdoor sound system perfect for chilling in the evening. Right on the Imperial river which is awesome for kayaking or paddle boarding. Property is not that large so works best for couples. We stay in this area a lot and really enjoyed this house as it has a real holiday feel. We would definintely rent it again.

    This house is beautiful, no doubt about that. Meticulously clean, with an awesome location and an outdoor setup that makes you never want to leave. We had a few problems arise but the owner was quick to respond. Just a heads up, there is one dishwasher pod, one detergent pod, and 2 garbage bags for the week. We’ve rented many homes in beach towns and found it a bit odd that there was no cooler, beach chairs, can coozies, etc. Also, this was the first host that didn’t leave a welcome basket or note of any kind. That being said, we had a wonderful time. The house really is spectacular..

    The house was wonderful! It was clean and looked just like the online images. We loved the pool and jacuzzi. My son enjoyed fishing off the dock. The location of the house was also great, close to everything we needed. The property manager was responsive when I reached out with a question. Very happy with our stay!!

    We spent two awesome weeks enjoying this perfect spot of relaxation. Florida one floor living at it's best. Great location close to Rte 41 with everything you need close by. The pool and spa couldn't be better. Love all the landscape lighting at night and the pool lights. We'll definitely be back again.

    Wonderful home, clean and inviting. Patio is fantastic, as is the pool and hot tub. The shower is fab! Enjoyed the wild life which is abundant on the river. Many herons, egrets, manatees (saw 4) and an occasional dolphin. Nesting osprey in neihboring property. Host was great and made sure everything was perfect for us.

    Had another amazing stay at the river shack. It's becoming a home away from home. Love the location, the wildlife on the river, and of course relaxing in the pool. Thank you again to our host Nardi! See you soon!
