While technically within Fort Lauderdale’s city limits, Bonnet House is often overlooked as a day trip destination. This whimsical historic estate, noted by the Michelin Guide and Florida Rambler, weaves together art, architecture, and subtropical gardens. Once the home of artist Frederic Clay Bartlett, the house is filled with imaginative touches, vibrant murals, and lush grounds that feel worlds away from the city. Guided tours share stories of Old Florida creativity and conservation.
