Bonnet House is a historic estate and museum set on 35 acres of subtropical gardens and pristine beachfront. Built in 1920 as a winter retreat for artist Frederic Bartlett and his wife Evelyn, the house showcases their eclectic art collection, including paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts. Visitors can tour the main house, stroll through orchid-filled gardens, and spot wildlife like swans and monkeys. The property's whimsical touches, such as shell-encrusted walls and a bamboo bar, reflect the Bartletts' playful spirit. It's a serene escape that blends art, nature, and history.
