Perfect for a small family vacation or a romantic getaway for two, Circa 1940 is this adorable classic cottage built with local cypress and old-growth heart pine. It is located in downtown Bonita Springs, Florida. Relax by the glow of the firepit in the evening counting stars and sharing stories and good times with family and friends. While this property is conveniently close to downtown and right across from Island Park, you'll also be near several local attractions including additional parks, Barefoot Beach, the Hertz Arena, and Bonita Fairways Club Golf. Within walking distance to the Historic District of Bonita Springs, you can access the path across from 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.
Step through the front door and discover a cozy and inviting interior restored in period fashion. Stock up the fridge and prepare anything from your morning coffee to full course dinners in the full kitchen. Dine together at the adjacent table or head outside, fire up the gas grill, and gather on the patio for the perfect alfresco experience. You'll also find a fire ring to enjoy as the sun sets.

Centrally located cottage
If you like rustic, this is for you! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay- walking distance to restaurants and not far to the beach. Great back yard, comfortable beds, and had what we needed. Clean too!
