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.

The River Shack was just what my family was looking for! My step mother is handicap and I have a 7 yr old so we loved the layout of the property and how quiet and relaxing it was. Would definitely book this property again. Fishing is good as well if that helps anyone. Hooked a snook that had to be over 36” but got broke off

Wonderfully relaxing family time
Beautiful,relaxing or lots to keep busy. The pool and hot tub and perfect for water people (like me) or there is fishing or kayaking an sunbathing and the dog next-door gives a bark to let you know dolphins are coming through. I love that everything you need is right off the road you are on to not have to go into busy traffic. Nardi was amazing and very helpful cant wait to come back.

Our family of four had an amazing stay. This is a beautiful property. We stayed over New Years and enjoyed the firework show across the river! Everything was taken care of during our stay. Really enjoyed cooking in the new kitchen. We spent hours in the jacuzzi/pool. Extremely clean. Will stay again!

Great stay at the river shack
My gf and I were celebrating an anniversary and found this cute little place. I am very glad the owner was able yo help me book as vrbo had a glitch. The place is decorated very nicely, feels nice and cozy. The bbq came in handy as we made some steaks our first nice. The pool was great after that nice meal. Interior was very welcoming, great design choice. Just look at the pictures its a great representation of what to expect. At night the whole back yard is lit by accent lighting, and under the dock there are lights in the water where you will see fish circling. As you can tell we were very happy with our stay. 10/10, you wont be disappointed

A Perfect Family Oasis: The River Shack
Our family had an incredible time at The River Shack in Bonita Springs, Florida. The property was a perfect fit for our family of five. The house itself was stunning, clearly reflecting the effort put into updating the interior. Although the beach was just a short drive away, we found it hard to leave the house, as the backyard provided us with endless entertainment. The pool and hot tub were nothing short of amazing, and we enjoyed spending most of our time there. Thanks to the provided stand up paddle boards and kayaks, we ventured out to explore the picturesque canals surrounding the area, creating unforgettable memories together. The abundance of seating outdoors allowed us to comfortably unwind while making s'mores over the fire pit, creating a sense of tranquility and relaxation. Overall, The River Shack provided the perfect oasis for our family to unwind, making our stay an unforgettable experience. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delightful retreat in Bonita Springs, Florida. Our host, Nardi, made our stay at The River Shack even more special. He went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and was incredibly accommodating throughout our time there. When he stopped by to check on us, we had a pleasant chat, and his warm and friendly nature made us feel right at home. It's the personal touches like this that made us feel like family and truly made our experience memorable. We are grateful for his hospitality and plan to return for another stay!

Best vacation ever!
Been going to Bonita for 20 years. Our old rental was not available. Found this place and fell in love with it. Nardi (the owner) is one of the nicest guy you'll ever meet and made us feel more than welcome. The house was immaculate and beautifully decorated. The location on the river was perfect, we liked so much we booked it for next year while we were still there.

The river shack that isn’t
This is no shack on the river! Although on the small side for the area, as they say good things come in small packages. The house is beautifully renovated with upscale features thruout. The outdoor space was as wonderful as the indoor, with the sights and sounds of wildlife up and down the river. We especially enjoyed the many hours spent poolside overlooking the river and the warm hot tub after dark. Hoping to be back again soon!

Beautiful property
Communication was great. Any questions that we had were answered immediately. Anytime friends or family come to visit again, we will recommend the Panta River Shack. My husband and I live locally in Fort Myers. Due to the hurricane we were unable to have our family stay in our home. I found this wonderful home and it really is impressive. There’s so much to do, we just stayed at the house and swam in the pool, played corn hole, fished all day and in the evening chatting around the fire pit. It was a great “home away from home”. Very clean. Comfortable beds. And a great outdoor sound and light system. Quiet neighborhood. The home is located on a private road. The home is beautifully decorated as well. Thank you to the owners for sharing their lovely home. -Christie and Stan
