Imperial River VACATION GEM - Best Resort-Like Vacation on the Imperial River!

It's called The River Shack... but it's more like The River "Chic" ... You will feel like you are at an all inclusive private resort here at The River Shack - completely and privately inclusive for you!

Each bedroom has a queen bed to sleep a total of four guests. The living room is furnished with a sofa bed to accommodate two additional guests. The kitchen is fully equipped for preparation of all meals. A laundry room is on site as well, so pack as little or as much as you like!

Enjoy an enormous outside entertainment area to include an outdoor kitchen, lots of dining space, fire pit, heated pool & spa all while admiring the amazing view of the Imperial River.

You will love the tranquil, peaceful sounds of the wildlife! Take advantage of the kayak and paddle boards and keep an eye out for dolphins and manatee!

The River Shack is a nice bike ride away from the up and coming Downtown Bonita Springs... check out the Survey Cafe, the Downtown Wine & Coffee Company and the newly opened Rooftop at Riverside. You may even be around for a concert event or festival at Riverside Park. Of course, Bonita Beach is just about 5 miles away. So much to do!

Book your vacation at the River Shack, relax and enjoy this vacation gem... you won't want to leave!

Great house and location!

The house was wonderful! It was clean and looked just like the online images. We loved the pool and jacuzzi. My son enjoyed fishing off the dock. The location of the house was also great, close to everything we needed. The property manager was responsive when I reached out with a question. Very happy with our stay!!

We spent two awesome weeks enjoying this perfect spot of relaxation. Florida one floor living at it's best. Great location close to Rte 41 with everything you need close by. The pool and spa couldn't be better. Love all the landscape lighting at night and the pool lights. We'll definitely be back again.

Had another amazing stay at the river shack. It's becoming a home away from home. Love the location, the wildlife on the river, and of course relaxing in the pool. Thank you again to our host Nardi! See you soon!

Great Father/Son Fishing Getaway

Had a great week at the “River Shack”. Perfect location for a father/son fishing getaway. House is conveniently located right on the Imperial River. Amazing backyard with pool, hot tub, kayak, paddle board. Fish right off the dock! Property matches description and host is readily available/proactive in communication/helpful!

Great property

The River Shack was just what my family was looking for! My step mother is handicap and I have a 7 yr old so we loved the layout of the property and how quiet and relaxing it was. Would definitely book this property again. Fishing is good as well if that helps anyone. Hooked a snook that had to be over 36” but got broke off

Great escape

Our family of four had an amazing stay. This is a beautiful property. We stayed over New Years and enjoyed the firework show across the river! Everything was taken care of during our stay. Really enjoyed cooking in the new kitchen. We spent hours in the jacuzzi/pool. Extremely clean. Will stay again!

Wonderfully relaxing family time

Beautiful,relaxing or lots to keep busy. The pool and hot tub and perfect for water people (like me) or there is fishing or kayaking an sunbathing and the dog next-door gives a bark to let you know dolphins are coming through. I love that everything you need is right off the road you are on to not have to go into busy traffic. Nardi was amazing and very helpful cant wait to come back.
