Historic Charm. Downtown Energy. Classic Old Florida Living.
Welcome to the Tucker House — a beautifully preserved 1937 cottage where timeless Florida architecture meets modern-day comfort. Located at 27111 S. Riverside Drive, this snowbird-friendly retreat offers high-speed WiFi, a washer and dryer, and the perfect blend of character, warmth, and convenience.
Inside, rich wood and cedar paneling create a cozy lodge-style ambiance filled with historic charm. The open kitchen features full-size modern appliances and generous space for cooking, gathering, and making memories. Whether you're hosting friends or enjoying a quiet evening in, the home feels both inviting and effortless.
The screened-in porch is ideal for morning coffee or sunset cocktails, while the covered gazebo and backyard invite you to grill, unwind, and soak in the Florida sunshine. With a Sonos sound system, your favorite playlist sets the tone for every moment.
Step outside and experience the best of Downtown Bonita Springs — all just a short stroll away. Enjoy live music and great casual dining at Sugarshack Downtown, explore events and green space at Riverside Park, sip craft cocktails at Chartreuse, grab a latte or wine at Downtown Coffee & Wine Company, or spend a wonderful evening at Canary Club or The Bohemian for a culinary experience . The Historic District’s shops, cafés, and local charm are right at your doorstep.
For outdoor enthusiasts, access the scenic path adjacent to the home for a peaceful walk or bike ride through Island Park beneath majestic oak, banyan, and buttonwood trees. Cross the charming bridge over the Imperial River and find yourself immersed in the vibrant heart of town.
Beyond downtown, you’re conveniently located near Barefoot Beach, Hertz Arena, and Bonita Fairways Golf Club — offering the perfect balance of relaxation and recreation.
Hosting a larger group? Consider also renting the riverfront cottage across the street, “Beneath the Banyans,” under the Riverside Cottages listing — ideal for family gatherings or extended stays.
The Tucker House is more than a rental — it’s an experience. A place where Old Florida charm meets walkable downtown energy, and every day feels easy, relaxed, and memorable.
Reserve your stay and experience the best of Bonita Springs.
