Waterfront - river, large pool, close to the beach - house with flair!

Right on the river, electr. Heated large salt water pool, 3 bedrooms + guest room, jacuzzi bath, outdoor kitchen, sunset view, 8 minutes to the beach ... fantastic

Welcome to our piece of paradises !!!
Our exclusive villa, right on the Imperial River and in a perfect south / west location, is lovingly, high quality and COMPLETELY furnished.
Ideal for guests who enjoy the Florida lifestyle comfortably in an elegant, spacious and beautiful house and who appreciate the beauty of nature and above all the almost invisible property and the fantastic view over the varied river.
The house is very quiet at the end of a dead end.
Start the day with breakfast in the sun and listen to the sounds of lush nature in the breakfast area.
Relax in the heated, skin-friendly saltwater pool, fishing or crab fishing (catch basket available) directly from your own dock, barbecuing (outdoor kitchen), kayaking, or simply lying in a deck chair and enjoying the sunset over the Imperial River ,
Watch the flying fish, sea turtles or even a manatee and with a little luck a couple of dolphins may come by.
Further equipment highlights are indoor jacuzzi, modern kitchen (large ceramic hob + oven, French door refrigerator, 220 volt socket), coffee machine + Nespresso machine, outdoor kitchen, a spacious covered terrace, large living room and a separate dining room and garage. In the laundry room you will find a large red washing machine (European style) and of course the matching dryer. There is also an ironing board with steam iron, Miele vacuum cleaner and much more.
Everything is available for your visit to one of the great beaches (approx. 8 minutes driving time) .... towels, chairs, parasols, cool boxes and sand toys etc.

The villa is very quiet and still very central! In about 5 minutes you can reach various food markets (also easy to complete by bike), and public golf courses are only a few minutes away.
Do you prefer shopping? There are also several options within a radius of about 6 miles. For example the large Coconut Mall in the north or Mercato in the direction of Naples. Not to forget the "Promenade" with its farmers market on Saturday and the many excellent restaurants and the center bar with live music. Or the waterside shops in the direction of Naples - once you have to be there. The Miromar Outlet can be reached in just 20 minutes.
Naples Down Town can be reached in about 25 minutes and Ft Myers Beach or the airport in about 25 minutes.

The house is full equipped, also all was you need for your stay at the beach.

Non-smoker house (only outdoor) no events/parties, no pets!

Great place to stay in Bonita Springs
5 out of 5
We had a little adventure ahead of us. It was our first time in Florida with 4 people and an infant (6 months). In advance, communication with Gero (who comes from Germany and therefore speaks perfect German) was very pleasant and friendly.
This continues on our arrival. The key was there, then Gero came and we got the first important information for our vacation.
The River Pearl is hard to beat. Super lovingly furnished house with everything you need. Enough towels and bed linen were also available. Everything worked perfectly and we didn't miss anything.
We used most of the time on the large terrace screened with insect screens. The pool and the large gas grill are also a dream.
We also had the great pleasure of getting to know the owners Birgit and Thomas. Super nice and uncomplicated, we took a great boat tour on the river together (thank you again for that!)
We can only recommend the house, the location and the care by Gero.
It will definitely not be our last vacation at River Pearl.

Well located, a few kilometers from the idyllic Barefoot Beach and 20 minutes from Naples Downtown. We will come back!

Just what we needed
The most relaxing vacation we’ve had in years!!We stayed with our 16 year old and she loved laying by the pool and the amount of space we all had to spread out. We had to work some days and wifi was perfect and the 4th bedroom was a great office space. I can’t say enough about Birgit, the owner couldn’t be more accommodating and supplies everything you could need. Communication is consistent and always replies when you have a question. The neighborhood was wonderful and quiet. We will absolutely be back! We had a wonderful time!

Better Than Expected!
Just beautiful! Birgit (property owner) was very attentive and friendly and made herself available. Everything was neat and clean when we arrived. In South Florida you sometimes have to contend with unwanted pests in your house. There was none of that. We were able to enjoy a worry free vacation together and it felt just like we were home. It was central to all the things we love about the Fort Myers Beach area. I don’t know what else to say besides I highly recommend this property.

Relaxing getaway
We have visited the SW gulf area for many years and always stay near water, this lovely home is located on a river canal which provided a nice breeze and the palm trees allowed for shade over the lanai. We so enjoyed the pool with all the options for seating within the lanai, most often we opened all the sliders to the home because even at 88+ degrees we were comfortable without the a/c. We kayaked and canoed and saw dolphin and manatee just off of the dock. We love the area and plan to come back!

Calm, quiet and relaxing family getaway for my husband and myself and our 3 boys.
My husband, 3 boys and and myself planned to travel to Florida from Springfield, MO for our wedding and were trying to decide on a beach view or a canal/river access home. After further review of many options for both, we went with this lovely, quaint home in Bonita Springs that offered much more than just a beach view. The beaches were only a 5 minute drive and baking in the sun all day isn’t everybody's idea of a family getaway. This home allowed for a variety of things to do while we stayed. Our 15 year old enjoyed being able to use the fishing poles and crab basket daily/nightly while fishing from the dock on the canal. He caught a variety of fish and also blue crabs using shrimp that we found from a local bait shop. As a family, we took the canoe and kayaks out to sight see around the canal. We actually spotted several gators and thought that was pretty neat. The home is very spacious and allows for a good number of people. Plenty of amenities were provided including beach towels, beach chairs, pool toys/floats, fishing poles and nets, a large patio with a screened in pool and outdoor cooking area. Not only did we greatly enjoy our stay, but the owners were very kind and quick to respond if we had any questions. We would definitely stay here again if we visit the area in the future. I have nothing but great things to say about this home, the owners and the location. We highly recommend anyone who is searching for a vacation home in the area to seek this one out. You will not be disappointed! 😊👍🏼❤️ Jessica Fletcher and Family

Excellent communication with owner throughout our time there. The house was well furnished (furniture, beach supplies, spices, bike, and so much more). The location is excellent as it is tucked away at the end of a drive and sits right next to the river. Kayaks and a canoe were available with the house and could be launched right from the back yard! The salt water pool was well maintained and provided another option if we didn’t feel like heading to the beach. The beach, however was only 8 min away! Grocery stores nearby so you could cook at home if you wanted. There is even a grill. Living spaces inside and outside of the house. We would definitely book this house again when we return to Florida.

We booked this beautiful house for our family vacation and it did not disappoint! Lots of room for all of us to spread out and the location was quiet and convenient to shopping and beaches. The lanai was awesome, had lots of seating and lounging areas and a nice grill and dining space - we spent most of our time here relaxing by the pool and enjoying the sunny weather. Brigit and Rhonda (housekeeper) were both very quick to respond to all our questions. We would definitely stay at this property again and highly recommend it to anyone planning to visit the area.

Wonderful Christmas Break
We just returned from a wonderful, relaxing two week stay at Brigit's property in Bonita Springs, FL. First of all, Brigit is extremely helpful and excellent at communication. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We had to move our flights a day early because of a huge snowstorm coming to New York- I emailed Brigit three days before departing and she allowed us to come a day early! She checked in on us to make sure we were doing well throughout our stay and sent recommendations for boat rentals and Christmas activities throughout the week. She wanted to ensure we had the best time! My 6 and 9 year old had a ball in the pool. We were poolside most of the two weeks. We enjoyed kayaking in the river- we saw iguanas and jumping fish! We went to the beach- an easy 8 minute drive away and ate outside on the beach at Doc's. Brigit has all the beach chairs, sand toys/buckets/shovels you could need, pool toys and floating toys- beach towels- you just have to show up! My kids liked the two mini-golf courses near by and there were so many grocery stores in close proximity, it made it easy to get groceries and cook. The kitchen is really well equipped with any pots, pans, plates you could ever need and the outdoor grill is wonderful too. The house is spacious and quiet at the end of the street. There was some construction across the river, but it wasn't too loud. My husband and I were able to work from home during one of our weeks and the internet connection could handle us both zooming. The bedrooms are spacious- especially the master bathroom! All in all there is everything you could need for a family to rest, relax and enjoy,. I highly recommend this rental home- particularly during quarantine, You don't have to leave, you have plenty of space, it's very comfortable, the owner is helpful and accomodating and as long as the weather is good- you are in for a treat! 5 stars!

LOVE, LOVE this Vacation Home!!!
We travel to the Naples, Florida area a couple of times a year since we have family in the area. We have found our "Home Base". Our family consisted of my husband, my adult daughter, grandson (age 7) and myself. The home is located in a very quiet neighborhood and yet, just a short 10 minute drive to the beach. Tucked away in a cul-de-sac and surrounded by tropical vegetation, it's like your own oasis. Super clean inside and out. Everything is provided including spices in the pantry which is rare in a vacation home. Very comfortable furnishings including all beds. If TVs are important to you, you will love the size of the TVs in the main two bedrooms as well as the family room. My main "shout out" is the pool and backyard which sits on a canal. Tropical Paradise! My grandson was in the pool from the moment he got up and until he was forced to go to bed. The wonderful outside kitchen was an added plus. My husband was in heaven since he loves to play the piano and there is one in the dining room. Made him very happy! Besides being close to the beach, you are minutes from grocery stores and Tamiami Trail which is a main street running north and south from Macro Island to Fort Myers. Access to additional shopping and restaurants can be found there. Communication with the owners was quick and their only concern is your comfort and having an enjoyable stay. Having stayed at many Bonita Springs/Naples homes for the last 15 years, the value of this home, is outstanding!! We can't wait to go back!!

We had a wonderful stay at Villa River Pearl. The house was as spacious as described and met all our needs. The location was great for us as we were close to family who live in the area and the shopping is nearby, lots of restaurants and beaches. When at the house we utilized the beautiful lanai area with a gas grill and a screened in pool. We enjoyed watching the flying fish on the river and saw several different birds. The owners were very responsive to our questions and provided good communication. Thank you for a beautiful week.
