Great property. Quiet neighborhood. The beach space is awesome, with no fighting for space. The pool is great when you’re tired of the sand and surf The game room/patio is perfect in the evenings for everyone Close to great restaurants and grocery stores are close The ultimate vacation destination

The location right next to the beach and in a quiet neighborhood was really pleasant. The house needs a little bit of minor repair work (broken tiles and flickering lights), but was overall nicely appointed and very comfortable.

I can't say enough about the location of this property. So convenient to step from the property onto the beach, especially with small children. Our family enjoyed our stay in this house with lots of room to spread out or gather on the patio or balcony for time together. As others have stated, the house may be dated to some extent and may need a little TLC in places, but nothing about the house would hinder us from returning to enjoy this beautiful property and beach.

House exceeded our expectations. Location and outdoor spaces were incredible! House was well equipped and very clean. Be sure to reach out to Walter ahead of arrival day for check in appointment. We hadn’t gotten any information and had to do check in virtually. It was very hard to follow instructions and navigate a dark, unfamiliar house. Be aware spa hours are 5-11 PM.

Our 3-generation family stayed here for a week. The good: incredible location, the pool , backyard and beach are great. The house is large and the barroom area downstairs was a lot of fun. The bad: Two of the five bedrooms have a curtain and no door- for the downstairs bedroom this was ok but there was no privacy at all in the fifth BR upstairs. The house was very worn in places- example, our bathroom door was patched by duct tape and there were missing tiles in the floor. Also a bit heavy on the rules, but overall responsive hosts, a good stay and a good vacation.

5 bedrooms with additional twin beds so everyone has a place to sleep. Couches that pulled out made even more sleeping space. Two full kitchens and TVs pretty much in every room. Upper deck is very big with great ocean and beach views. Direct access to beach.

My review is similar to Megan O above. The beach is fantastic and the backyard pool/spa area is very nice. However, the house itself, while generously sized, is way overdue for a major remodel and even some basic maintenance work. Besides a few kitchen appliances, pretty much everything else appears decades old and is showing its age. The bathrooms, for instance, looked and functioned as though they were from 1988. [I know the owner may dispute this but we too noticed a roof leak during a downpour (water dripping thru ceiling of upstairs deck onto patio furniture) and the gutters are falling apart. I don't know that I would blow that off as "not a problem" if it were my house.] Regardless, in summary the property is well-located right on the beach and has a nice pool but the house itself has been neglected for years and is well overdue for repairs and updating. We loved the local area and the outdoor space but were disappointed the house wasn't as nice as we had hoped.

We loved our stay at Casa Bonita. The house was very clean & comfortable, and the location was perfect! The house had everything to make our vacation great. The pool was nice with plenty of chairs, towels, and inflatables. The second floor deck with the ocean view and lights around the pool & spa in the evenings were a plus. Art was easily accessible and answered our questions quickly.

This location was fantastic and perfect for our family. We enjoyed the pool and the beach immensely. Unfortunately, the house is not at all well maintained and we rain into many issues over our seven days including broken A/C in the master rendering it unusable for the first day, broken freezer, broken refrigerator, a leak in the ceiling, and cockroaches. For the high price tag, I would expect a much better maintained home.

The pictures and other reviews were accurate. Plus-great spot on the beach. wonderful views from the deck. Nice landscaping, pool, jacuzzi. Very spacious and comfortable house. Minus- house is rough around the edges, dated, funky and some of the lights don't work. Didn't like that the jacuzzi could only be used after 5:30. It's a pet friendly beach rental so one doesn't expect super luxury. Short drive to restaurants but not really walking distance to anything. It's on a busy road so some of the bedrooms have some road noise.

Excellent location. Beautiful views. The house needs some work but the house was wonderful for our family. The grandkids had the best time.

Perfect spot. We all had an awesome time all together. Our whole family was there-13 of us.

You can tell its a rental property some items need adressing but we were there for the location and it was perfect. The views and pool made up for any deficiencies in the house.

This house was easy to get to and right on the water with a great beach out back and a fabulous pool for the kids that was warm with heat included in rental. The hot tub only turned on from 5pm to 10pm which worked ok for us but might bother some people. The house was dated and had some quirks as a result light switches that didn’t work, or didn’t turn on anything and some areas the hot water took forever to warm up. Nothing that wasn’t manageable. The rooms were as described online with plenty of room for a large family. The game room was a fun addition for all.

Booking process easy and details provided outstanding

My family and I enjoyed the perfect beach vacation at Casa Bonita. It a lovely, spacious house boasting ample kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas . But the real treasure was ... the pool! All the kids splashed, swam and even improved their swimming skills. Also we thought the porches, both up and down, really contributed to the whole outdoor fun and relaxation mode. And access to the beach was just a step away. Altogether a delightful property. Very convenient.

The Casa Bonita is a very large home steps from a beautiful stretch of quiet beach and surrounded by gorgeous landscaping. The house interior was dated, but very comfortable and commodious for our daughters, their families, and us - ten in all. The upstairs balcony, the pool, and the beach area were the primo spots for us - just beautiful!

Great pool / hot tub area off of a game room. Beach directly off of deck with gulf water 200 feet away. We had no reason to leave other than groceries and they are within minutes.

Easy process

This was a magical place. You couldn't ask for a better location. It truly was like having our own resort. Now the whole family wants to make this an annual event. Art was so nice and showed us so many great things about the property and suggestions for places to go. We loved it and will be back.

This house is directly on the beach with a wonderful pool. The beach was not crowded during spring break and there were several restaurants within walking distance. The house was extremely spacious and well equipped. The negatives are that the interior of the house so old and worn that it needs a complete makeover. Mold in the showers, kitchen very grungy, bath towels thin like an old gym locker room. That said, we had a great time and the house had everything we needed. Outdoor space can't be beat.

Biggest decision each day was pool or beach or pool ..... beautiful location.

If you are looking for a getaway with a private pool, outside amenities and basically your own beach area....this is the place for you! To be able to walk out to the beach from the pool, sit on the private deck, grill out and relax in the beautiful salt water pool....it was amazing! The view is spectacular! Coming from the cold snowy state of WI, this was an awesome vacation! Great restaurants to walk to as well! We purchased groceries from their local Publix and Winn Dixie and basically made most of our meals. Clearwater was about a $22 UBER ride for a great pirate boat ride! We also went into John's Pass on the FREE Trolley (free during COVID safety measures) for shopping, dinner & drinks. The only downfall for us was that the grill needed attention, as we had to work on it before we could use it and the timing of check in and check out. Our flights did not accommodate their times, so we had to do a lot of shifting of what to do before we could check in and out. Lesson learned on scheduling our flights for next time!

We stayed at Casa Bonita for 6 weeks and couldn't have been happier. The house is better than the pictures, the outside living area is incredible, and the location right on a great beach can't be beat. The owner (Art) and Case Bonita "team" (Janie and Chris) were responsive and extremely helpful. If you are looking for a place on the beach this is a great option in a great location.

Love the spaciousness, the location & the outdoor entertaining area.

The photos don’t do the property justice! So close to the beach and so many great areas to enjoy. If I come back I’d definitely stay here again!
