Bonnet House Museum & Gardens

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Bonnet House in Florida, and it was a truly delightful experience. The location, nestled right at the beach, is not only beautiful but also incredibly inspiring. The house, once owned by an American artist who studied in Munich and had a deep love for nature, art, and music, radiates creativity and history. What made the visit even more enjoyable was the warm welcome from Aretha, a multi-lingual lady who was not only friendly and kind but also exceptionally knowledgeable about the entire history of the house. Her enthusiasm and expertise added immense value to the visit, and I believe she deserves recognition, perhaps even a pay raise, for the outstanding job she does. Bennet House is definitely a must-visit for those seeking a blend of art, history, and the soothing ambiance of the beach."

The Bonnet House is lovely, but the guides stationed in the adjourning areas throughout the house made the visit incredibly divine. I loved the historical touches they provided to the background of the premises, and the information was something that I would have missed, and I did not do my research! I was most fascinated with the bouquets being made of seashells and the mirrors weighing 700 pounds! I also loved the wild iguanas running all over the place. What a treat to have seen such a beautiful and fascinating place! Thank you, everyone, for your sweet hospitality today!!!

The Bonnet house and museum is a great place to visit to get a feel for old time living of the affluent in South Florida. Beautiful grounds, fantastic house for viewing....my favorite was the shell house/orchid room. There was a wedding planned for late afternoon, this would be a great venue for that and the reception. Guided tours available with very informative and pleasant guides or walk thru at your own leisure. Our 2nd visit.
