This extraordinary, nearly 1.65-acre waterfront estate is unlike anything else. This rare peninsula property sits at the end of coveted McLaughlin Blvd, a quiet road that stretches from the beach into Estero Bayâyet this estate extends even farther, forming its own private peninsula with nearly 200 degrees of unobstructed water views over Estero Bay and Hogue Channel. The result is a breathtaking blend of serene natural beauty and distant skyline views, offering wildlife watching by day and sparkling city lights by night. The main house offers 4 bedrooms, an office, 4.5 baths, and over 4,500 square feet under air (6,910 total SF), with a beautifully updated first floor and a second floor ready to be reimagined. A large pool sits directly on the water, creating a truly resort-style feel. The updated casita/guest house includes two standalone apartmentsâideal for guests.
We stayed at this home for our family's summer beach vacation and my mother's 80th birthday celebration. The house was amazing! You literally feel like you are staying on your own private island which is surrounded on three sides by water. There is a main house and guest house which fit everyone perfectly. The place was immaculately clean, organized and beds were very comfy. Kitchen was well stocked as we made most meals at home.The family loved adventuring around the large "private island". We spent most of the time in the huge screened pool area with plenty of loungers, heated pool, hot tub outdoor kitchen and bar area with TV. The house was so amazing, we actually only went to the beach twice (which is a short walk with beach cart and all gear provided!). This was such an amazing stay for our family and Mom's 80th birthday. The rental management was top-notch, always available to answer any questions and provided great recommendations. They suggested renting a boat for the day which was so great to dock it at the house to surprise my Mom! Highly recommended with 5-stars all around!
We just returned from a week with our family on vacation to Bonita Beach, and a wonderful stay at the Dolphin Pointe. New to the rental market, this is a place worthy of celebrities and families that like room to relax and play! Itâs a palatial estate with immaculate grounds, and water on three sides of the house. You have total privacy from any neighbors. Plenty of room for the kids to play and ride bikes inside the gated compound. The main house has five bedrooms/suites and also has a casita (guest house) with a one bedroom apartment available to rent if you need additional space. The house is super clean and the main level of the house has recently been renovated.We spent most of our days on the spacious lanai and screened in pool area that has a 180 degree view of the water. We loved watching the boats going by, and we saw dolphins, manatee and a wide variety of tropical birds every day. We rented a boat for two days and we were able to tie up to the dock overnight. Next time we will bring our fishing poles so we can fish right off the seawall.An easy 5-8 minute walk to Beach Access 5, we enjoyed being able to use the beautiful beach with the beach chairs, beach towels, coolers and beach cart provided at the house. We considered houses on the beach that cost twice as much, but this retreat is much quieter and private. We have rented from Arlan and Jayme of Collier Vacation Rentals for many years. Highly recommend!
