The Tucker House - Historical Bonita Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Originally built in 1937, the "Tucker House" is a beautiful example of classic Florida architecture. The welcoming wood and cedar panels throughout create the feel of a riverfront lodge, with the open full kitchen (set up with full-size, modern appliances) allowing plenty of room for good times. Fresh air is perhaps best enjoyed out in the comfortably furnished screened-in porch. But those who want to be right on the river will find plenty of space to relax in the covered outdoor gazebo. Have fun grilling or just enjoying the sunshine in the lovely backyard! The Sonos system is perfect for setting the mood with your favorite music. Within walking distance to the Historic District of Bonita Springs, you can access the path adjacent to the home to walk or bike through Island Park and catch a quick workout or take a relaxing stroll under a canopy of majestic Oak, Banyan, and Buttonwood trees and bridge over the Imperial River which takes you right to the heart of town. Step back in time, relax, and enjoy the charm and peacefulness of Old Florida. You'll also be near several local attractions, including additional parks, Barefoot Beach, the Hertz Arena, and Bonita Fairways Club Golf.

The property is very charming. Fully equip kitchen and everything we had hoped it would be. The only issue for us was the bed, it was so soft we rolled into the middle. If you like soft bed then this place is ideal.

Our second stay at Tucker house was even better than the first!
Everything we needed was available in this quaint historic home. Comfy beds and a well-equipped kitchen. We enjoyed sitting in the front screened-in porch as well as the large backyard pavilion. We love the location; morning/evening walks through the park adjacent to the property lead us downtown for coffee, wine and ice cream. What a treat! The home is close to many great restaurants, beaches, local attractions and shopping. We Maybe we’ll try out the bikes and kayaks next trip!

Frozen First Night
Was surprised to discover the house had no central heat. It was freezing inside from a 3 day cold snap prior to my arrival. Had to look around for space heaters which took hours to warm the rooms. Got into an ice cold bed the first night. Still chilly next morning. There was a problem with the hot water. Furniture was uncomfortable and needed to be rearranged to see TV. Not a good value at all.

Wonderful stay
The property is beautiful! We enjoyed the screened-in front porch for morning coffee and the back outdoor dining area for lunch. There were thoughtful little touches like toilet paper in the shape of a rose that my 4 year old keeps talking about! Only complaint is the master bed, a little uncomfortable and noisy bed frame each time you move around, and sheets were very stiff. Otherwise, loved our stay!! About 10 minutes from the beach. Definitely recommend.

Historic was way overrated
This house is historic but don't let that fool you. Bonita Springs was once a very nice small town in Southwest FL but not anymore. This house is located in a not so good looking neighborhood. It backs up to a walk way park with a bridge that connects park with street in front of house. There is lots of walking traffic right next to house. The cleanliness was not good either. If you have visitors there is no couch or sofa in living room. I highly recommend paying the extra money and stay in Naples. We have never been disappointed leasing there and you are in a much safer area too.
