Rental Spaces
Bonita Bill’s Events offers unique indoor/outdoor event spaces built right over the water of Estero Bay on San Carlos Island, Florida. We offer onsite catering from our very own Bonita Bill’s Waterfront Café to complement any event, highlighting local southern, coastal dishes and beverages. Choose from our 3 unique spaces (or all three!) for the ultimate destination for your next event!
​
Tucked under the Matanzas Pass bridge to Fort Myers Beach, the newly renovated and upgraded Bonita Bill’s Event room offers sweeping waterfront views of the bay, top of the line integrated and easy to use AV equipment, unique & custom coastal décor, air conditioning, and a dedicated crew to make your next event one to remember.
Fully renovated in 2023, it still serves as a nostalgic one-of-a-kind destination where guests enjoy an escape to old Florida and soak in the island laid-back atmosphere reminiscent of days-gone-by. In addition to the Bonita Bill’s Event room, the wrap around deck and lower deck with Tiki bar are also available to rent! We are still working to rebuild our docks from Hurricane Ian damage, but we will come back stronger than ever! From small, intimate gatherings to company events to parties and celebrations – we can do it all!
Our team is dedicated to delivering the best experience, every event, every time. Reach out today to learn more about all our unique offerings to make your next event unforgettable! We also partner with the best of the best local vendors and entertainers, in addition to event planning services, so whatever you need – we got you covered.
