| This was our first time to stay at a VRBO property. My family stayed for two weeks at Paradise Retreat and had a wonderful time. The home is amazing. Spacious and all accomodation. This property is centrally located and there are many many activities and sites to see for the entire family. You will have a wonderful time if you rent this home. Amanda (owner) has thought of everything. This is truly a home away from home. Everything you would want is here for you to use. The pool is awesome. The weather was beautiful. The neighbor is quiet and so peaceful. We will be back. Thanks Amanda |

| My sister and I found this lovely gem to rent by the week in high season and it was terrific. My sister's twins loved the pool and their room. The Florida room was perfect for relaxing with the adults. The house has an amazing amount of living space that is hard to visualize without seeing it in person. We loved the location and traveled easily to Naples and other hot spots during our stay. Amanda was lovely and professional. A great time was had by all! |

Perfect location and exceptional facility. We stayed
for a month and are already anticipating our return
visits for increasing lengths of time. Centrally
located to everything and anything one would wish
to visit and enjoy while in southwest Florida,
Amanda runs a tight operation with attention to
detail and provides all that she promises. The
adage that 'one gets what one pays for' certainly
applies here and is worth every penny. The fact
that our pet could comfortably accompany us was a
determining factor to this property being chosen
and the quiet peaceful neighborhood is wonderful
for pleasant walks. We found the neighbors to be
friendly and welcoming and the home to be cleverly
landscaped to provide appropriate privacy in the
pool areas. This holiday warrants a 'well done and
see you again soon Amanda'. |

| My husband and I recently stayed in Amanda's "Paradise Retreat". We had previously stayed in one of her other properties, so we knew we would find this to be every bit as nice as the description. We were not disappointed! This is a lovely home with plenty of room, comfortably furnished and with all the conveniences one might desire. We would highly recommend this home as your next vacation retreat! |

| My family and I stayed at Amanda's house for our recent holiday in Florida, New Year 2008. We were very impressed with the space, the location, all the facilities the house offered, and of course the pool. It helped make our holiday very enjoyable. |

My wife, Son and his best friend and I have stayed at Amanda's Bonita Springs Paradise Retreat property just before Christmas 2008. The description on the website doesn't give justice to the property as far exceeds the description as her home is fully equipped with everything needed for a great relaxing vacation including bikes and a beach pass which was very useful. It is in a quite location with easy access to local stores and restaurants. The pool was heated for this period which was great and is it is completely private. Amanda has also been very supportive throughout my stay which has been very comforting. If you are considering a vacation in the Bonita Springs area and considering renting this property, this property will not disappoint you.

| We had the pleasure of using this lovely home the week our daughter was getting married. It was most convenient to shops, restaurants, and other necessary places for our event. The fact that we could bring our pets meant so much to our family members that came in to join us at the house. The house was beautiful, large, and fun to be in. I would highly recommend a stay, but only if you want to be pampered. |

My wife and I have stayed in all of Amanda's Bonita Springs properties including the Paradise Retreat during the Christmas and NewYear period '07/'08. We have always enjoyed our stay and we continue to return.
The description on the website is accurate and the home is fully equiped with everything needed for a great relaxing vacation. The kitchen has new appliances and all furnishings are clean and modern. The pool area is professionally serviced and completely private. The neighborhood is very convenient to shopping, beaches and entertainment; it is also well kept, quiet and safe.
If you are considering a vacation at this property, you will not be disappointed.

We have been staying on Sanibel/Captiva for 25 years. We discovered Barefoot Beach 3 years ago and decided to try a place near Barefoot Beach. WHAT A FIND!!! The house exceeded our expectations. Our grandchildren live in the area and spent the week with us. They loved the pool. Our son visited from CT for 3 days and our daughter from TN also visited for 3 days. Our Weimaraner, Jessie made the trip with us. The floorplan accomadated all of us, the yard was great, dead-end street allowed the kids to ride their bikes. The plants/flowers were wonderful, I just wish it has been Jan and we could have enjoyed the oranges, the trees were full. We had company and cooked out on the grill. The kitchen was exceptional, we did some baking and everything was there.
We had a great time taking Jessie and the grandchildren to the beach. Close to shopping and movies. Minature golf was a big hit. Plenty of towels and beach towels for the pool, nice linens. Pool and sand toys. Since we were on a working vacation the internet was great. It was a perfect house for a family but we would also go back as a couple & Jessie of course. Amanda and her husband were teriffic and gave us info on dog freindly activities. We had such a good time we stayed an extra day!!! I would have stayed forever........ |

| What a great vacation! We took a mini-vacation close to our relative's home for a week, and we couldn't have been more pleased with our experience.We particularly enjoyed the gourmet kitchen with the sets of dishes for the pool and kids. Also, it was a treat to bring our dog and feel that she was welcome. Amanda even gave us directions to the dog beach. I would recommend this home to anyone. Deanna Huhes and family |

Thank you Amanda! We rented this home in April
of 2008. The home is nicely decorated and very
spacious. Our 5 kids loved the home, and they
could do their own thing without being cramped
like if we were in a hotel room. The pool was great
and refreshing! It is a nice walk to shopping, but in
a very quiet area. The home had everything we
needed, and the grill was a nice touch, too. I would
recommend this home and the owners to anyone! |

| We enjoyed this home the months of Jan. and Feb. 2008. The owner was most gracious and saw to every need we might have. This is a well kept and comfortable home. It is close to groceries, retail stores, parks, beaches and many entertainments. You can't miss with this home. Our two dogs loved it too. |
