Very comfortable stay
The house was clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the spacious living area. The master bath jacuzzi was a nice surprise. The only thing we had trouble with was the storage room outside. The locks were very corroded and hard to open. The bikes would have been fun, but all the tires were flat.

Family vacation
The check in process was very easy and fast. Jesus is very responsive. The view of the ocean was beautiful. We loved that we were provided chairs, umbrellas. And a wagon to take to the beach. This was a wonderful surprise and made packing a lot easier.
There was a few things that need to fixed. The cleaning crew did not clean the decks. They were covered in food and spilled drinks. They also missed cleaning the stair rails and cabinets. We had to clean sticky rails and cabinets upon arrival. The Clorox wipes were black.
The master bedding had holes in the sheets at the bottom. I didn’t notice until my toes got stuck and n the middle of the night.
The previous family did not take out the trash, so our family had to stuff trash in overflowing garbage cans which brought a lot of flies.
There were a few outlets that need to be fixed in the kitchen,They did not work.
I do not feel Jesus is to blame for the cleaning crew. However, they do need to do better. That is a large fee we pay for cleaning when we reserve and I feel that they did a really lazy job.
The other things are matainance related and can be easily fixed.
Overall, our family really enjoyed the house and the location.

Thanksgiving at the beach
Our family had a week-long Thanksgiving gathering at Bonita Rita. The accommodations were excellent. Plenty of room on the second floor for lounging and dining . The bedrooms were very comfortable. Jesus was very responsive to text messages. One of our clan was injured after a trip in the driveway. Jesus expressed genuine concern and took action to help prevent similar trips in the future. We still had a wonderful time and plan to stay there again.

Awesome family end of summer vaca!!!
This beach house is an excellent home and location for a family getaway! There was plenty of comfortable space for all of us to eat together, relax in the living space together, and hang out on the balconies together - key focus on being able to be TOGETHER, which is so easy with the upstairs open floor plan. I love the decor with a very tastefully done beach theme. The kitchen is so well stocked that we didn't have to use anything we brought with us - tons of cookware, utensils, and spices as well as dishes, glasses, mugs, and silverware. The appliances are clean and there are numerous small appliances provided - toaster, toaster oven, flex brew coffeemaker, and a blender. We cooked and had breakfast together each morning and had coffee on the 2nd floor balcony where you can see the ocean. There were plenty of linens for us all and we did laundry a few times in the fairly new stacked full size washer & dryer conveniently located on the 1st floor with the bedrooms. The wagon, beach chairs, and beach toys are a really helpful touch and that wagon saved us because we brought our own, but we had too much for just one! The neighborhood "private" beach was so nice for family time and keeping up with kiddos. There were plenty of things close by for shopping, dining, and entertainment with Wal-Mart, Kroger, Target, and Pleasure Pier. Last, but not least, Jesus & America are wonderful hosts and answered any questions we had very promptly. We hope to return soon to Bonita Rita!!

Private beach experience
The property was exactly as shown and within a very quick walk to the beach. There were public and private beach areas, the private beach was never crowded. The house included a few beach accessories that made it even more enjoyable to spend the day at the beach and the balconies at the house were also relaxing to spend time on. Jesus was an amazing host! Helpful and quick with communication. It was a perfect place to stay and close to multiple attractions and restaurants. We’re already planning our next trip!

The house is absolutely gorgeous with a wonderful open layout on the top floor, great outdoor spaces and nice bedrooms. The location is less than a 5 min walk to the beach and the homeowner provided a wagon, umbrellas, chairs and beach toys.
