A little “Gem”
We loved our stay at the Seashell Cottage. The unit was clean, layout was functional and living area/kitchen very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the back screened in porch and leaving the doors open to enjoy the breeze & listen to nature sounds. The fenced in back yard made letting my dog out so easy. Laundry was convenient and they had all the little extras, which is a very nice touch. The owner popped by to make sure we didnt need anything and he was so friendly and polite. I would definitely recommend this unit to friends and family and price was right.

Perfect for Us and our Dog
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.

Great little duplex
The duplex was absolutely lovely & had a cute little fenced-in back yard that my dog enjoyed. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the whole house was very homey. The house was clean and in such a great location. It was close enough to everything we would’ve needed but quiet enough that we didn’t hear a bunch of traffic. We will absolutely stay here again if we visit Bonita Springs again. The host was courteous and responsive (in a timely manner) to the messages I sent.

Best VRBO EXPERIENCE YET !
Seashell Cottage was perfect for me, my husband , and our 2 dogs. Our host , Steve Sims , was very responsive and accommodating.The place was ready a few hours early and Steve welcomed us ahead of check in time. Much appreciated after 2.5 days traveling from Michigan. We were greeted with a bowl of fresh fruit, a dish of candy ,water in the fridge, and a bag of ice in the freezer. Everything you need for a day at the beach was available for use. Beach chairs, beach umbrella , coolers and beach towels. The property is in a very quiet neighborhood with a small lake behind the home. We loved having morning in the coffe
