Bonita National condos, coach homes and single-family homes
Four kinds of home sit here, and they separate cleanly by size. Terrace condominiums are mid-rise with an elevator, at 1,122 to 1,299 square feet. Verandas are low-rise, 1,344 to 1,549. Coach homes are low-rise with an attached garage, 1,741 to 2,138. Single-family homes run 1,891 to 3,143 and come in three lot sizes the community calls Executive, Manor and Estate.
Compare inside a product before you compare across them, and inside the same membership. A golf Terrace condominium does not price against a social coach home, and the fee that comes with each is different too.
What Living in Bonita National Golf and Country Club Is Like
Bonita National welcomes all ages. The Lee County Property Appraiser records the amenity tract as belonging to Bonita National Homeowners Association, so every one of the 1,459 homes owns a share of the dining rooms, the resort pool, the spa, the fitness center and the courts. The golf course sits on separate parcels, and 866 homes carry golf.
Dining runs three ways: a main dining room, the BLVD Bistro, and the poolside café with its Turnstand window. A resort pool and three satellite pools run through the community, on Carlow Court, Bridgetown Court and Bonita National Boulevard.
The golf is an eighteen-hole Gordon Lewis course, with a putting green, a short game area and an aqua range hit out over water.
Bonita National sits east of I-75 off Bonita Beach Road. That puts Bonita Springs and Estero either side of it, with Fort Myers and Naples within reach. Use the interactive What’s Nearby map to test the drive times that matter to you.
What to Know Before You Buy
- Membership: Every home comes with one, golf or social, and it stays with the house. The club states plainly that a social home cannot be changed to a golf home, and the recorded declaration says any attempt to separate a golf membership from the property is void. A social owner plays at the published social rate, $65 for eighteen holes, May through October. From November through April a social owner plays as the guest of a golf member.
- Yearly fees: Every home pays $5,841 a year to the master association. Golf homes add $3,948. Single-family homes add lawn care by home size, and condominiums add their own association’s quarterly fee instead.
- Community development district: The Beach Road Golf Estates Community Development District is on the tax bill, from $1,261 a year on a Terrace condominium to $2,193 on an Estate home. The operating part is $235.52 for every home and the rest is bond debt running to November 1, 2046, which can be paid off.
- Leasing: A thirty-day minimum and up to twelve leases a year under the master declaration. Individual buildings can be stricter, and several are.
- Schools: Served by Lee County Public Schools, which places students through School Choice rather than by address.
