Why you should go…

Bonnet House is a 35-acre historic artists' estate on Fort Lauderdale Beach, begun in 1919 as a wedding gift and later the creative home of Frederic Clay Bartlett and his wife Evelyn. You wander its rooms, trails and breezeways, filled with the couple's art and imaginative design. Outside, the grounds hold five distinct habitats on a barrier island, and the gardens keep more than 3,000 orchids.
