Bonnet House
Houses / Mansions, Parks, Fort Lauderdale
Fodor's Review:
A 35-acre oasis in the heart of the beach area, this subtropical estate survived a big hit from Hurricane Wilma, and stands as a tribute to the history of Old South Florida. The charming home was the winter residence of the late Frederic and Evelyn Bartlett, artists whose personal touches and small surprises are evident throughout. Whether you're interested in architecture, artwork, or the natural environment, this is a special place. Be on the lookout for playful monkeys swinging from trees, a source of amusement at even some of the most solemn weddings on the grounds. Hours can vary, so call first.
