In 1920, Bartlett and his second wife, Helen Louise Birch, were given the oceanfront land in South Florida by her father, Hugh Taylor Birch, a prominent Chicago attorney, real estate investor, and naturalist. Despite being nestled amidst miles of beachfront development, the 35-acre Bonnet House estate retains its pristine barrier island ecosystem, serving as a testament to Bartlett's artistic vision and the family's legacy.

The host and property manager were always available to us which was quite helpful. The home is well maintained and spacious. The backyard offers all the amenities we wanted: pool, jacuzzi and covered patio and grill. The location is perfect, just steps to the beach. Hope to stay there again!!
Ideal location. Very nice owner and property manager. Very well furnished, including beach stuff and toys. Great outdoor area. Fixing hot tub problem took Sunday and a couple more days. Main negative: all bathrooms are accessed through bedrooms.
The location was perfect. Close to the beach. The pool area worked for our family as there was some outside covered seating and a TV out there Ronnie the caretaker was excellent. Just a quick text away if needed. We had a great family week.
The home was impeccable. Very clean and organized. We will definitely book this home again for our next event. The property manager is always available. One block from the beach. You can't beat it. Loved it. Patty
Property manager was very accommodating and very friendly. The property was great for our family vacation of 9 people. It was very close to the beach and the amenities of the house were great.
Excellent experience across the board. Our family greatly enjoyed this property. The house is nice, roomy, and comfortable. The pool and jacuzzi and outdoor area was great as well. Its close proximity to the beach is excellent. We will stay there again if we have the opportunity.
We loved this property! The house was spacious and beautiful, while the location was just a short walk to the beach! The prop manager was super responsive and helpful during our entire stay, welcoming us when we arrived. Thank you for making our girls weekend perfect!
We had a fabulous vacation! the beach is close; the pool and hot tub were fabulous! The kitchen and dining room were large enough to accommodate all of us and prepare Thanksgiving dinner! it was definitely a memorable vacation and would book it again in a heartbeat!
Awesome proximity to beach and restaurants. House was comfy and clean. Property manager is close by and very helpful. Kitchen could use more equipment but other than that, a wonderful stay.
Stay for a week with 9 people total. 6 adults and 3 kiddos (ages 8-12). The house was amazing!!! Everyone had their own bathroom, which was very helpful. Only a block from the beach, which was pretty secluded, not a lot of people when we were there. The house was well stocked with beach toys, chairs and umbrella. We spent a ton of time in the pool. Probably be favorite pool ever. The setup with the pool and hot tub was so cool!! Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. Host was very responsive and Ron, the caretaker, was friendly and helpful. I really hope we will be able to return.
The pool was great fun and the location near the beach allowed us to do a lot with our young granddaughters. Open floor plan wax great and our son, daughter-in-law and the kids were able to enjoy privacy in the upstairs. Property manager was very helpful.
House was perfect for our family of 5 plus our daughters 2 friends. Teenagers love this house! Steps away from the beach. We rented a golf cart and drove everywhere and loved it!!! Ronnie the property manager is very attentive. Great experience!
Perfect location, attentive property manager and equipped with all you need.
The home is close to the beach, off a quiet side street and makes going back and forth easy and convenient. The location is ideal if you love Fort Lauderdale but appreciate a quieter experience on the beach.
It's close to shopping, many water experiences and a variety of day trip opportunities.
The house itself is clean and comfortable- it had everything we needed to make meals at home and relax in our down time. If you find yourself in need of anything, Ron, the property manager, is always mere feet away and eager to help.
Great home for families.
Location was fantastic. Ron was amazing and responsive and friendly (would love to have him as a neighbor). House was beautiful and clean and well supplied. Pool and hot tub were wonderful. The welcome music on TV and scents were a wonderful touch to the start of the vacation. Would definitely come back and recommend. Only downside was a little loud being right next to the main road, but we got used to it. Privacy fence helped a lot. Thank you.
Perfect spot for our group of 8 ranging in age from 7 to 83. Plenty of space. Great location 1 block (easy walk on quiet street) to beach. Enjoyed the heated pool and hot tub. Great covered patio with furniture by pool. We spent lots of time in the pool and hot tub. As mentioned in other reviews, the road behind the house is busy but there is a wall around the pool. Noise from the road didn't bother us at all. Front of the home is on a quiet street. We have 3 kids and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend this property.
I can't speak highly enough of this property, and of the owner, Bill, and property manager, Ron. The location is perfect, right next to a quiet beach, and close to several nice dining/shopping spots. There was also ample space for us to entertain a few friends, and give both our young daughters (ages 5 and 3) swim lessons in the pool.
Ron was always around to answer any questions, including how to heat the pool/turn on the spa, and was very accommodating even before we arrived, setting up the portable fence around the pool to protect our children.
On the whole, this property was everything we were looking for, and more. The check in/out process was a breeze, and the property had a ton of Ft. Lauderdale charm. We will absolutely book this property again for our next trip down, if it is available.
We loved this property and our stay for the week. We were 3 couples - my husband and I, our adult daughter and son with their significant others. The house was spacious with lots of room for us to spread out and have privacy. Each room having its own bathroom was a big plus. There were plenty of towels and all bathrooms/showers had soap, shampoo and conditioner. It was a nice touch. The pool and hot tub were wonderful and the covered patio allowed us to spend time outside even in the rain. The location was awesome! It was 3 min walk to beach and convenient to restaurants and shops. Ron the property manager was super and very responsive. Appreciated that the check-in and check-out process was smooth and easy. We highly recommend and would stay there again!

Disappointed
We paid a lot of money expecting luxury and showed up to an outdated home with nonstop road noise. The backyard was small (with so much road noise), the kitchen barely had any items to cook with and the staircase made me nervous with small children. We ended up not even staying at the house after one night because we did not feel safe with our toddlers as the lock on the sliding door to the pool area was at a level my two year old could use (and did) without any type of alarm system on it and then the gate from the pool to the driveway had a hard time latching. The owner was very nice trying to accommodate our safety concerns, but we ended up moving to a 5-star resort (with a full kitchen, laundry, two bedrooms and large living room with all the resort amenities) for the same cost as this house. We did not receive any money back per the refund policy so this was an expensive mistake.
The house was perfectly located one block from beach and perfect for our family stay while in Fort Lauderdale. Very comfortable and loved relaxing by the pool. Super close to a lot of restaurants! Would definitely stay here again!!
