Imagine waking up to powder white beaches lapped by the Gulf, with boating, kayaking, and paddleboarding on the serene Estero Bay right outside your door. Bonita Springs brings that Florida sunshine energy (nearly 300 days a year) alongside lush barrier island escapes like Lovers Key State Park, Barefoot Beach Preserve, and Little Hickory Island.
Rentals range from laid back cottage style apartment communities near the sand to modern condo developments downtown along the Imperial River. Areas like Bonita Beach, Riverside, and Historic Downtown blend calm coastal living with convenient shops, cafés, artist studios, and year-round events. Riverside Park bustles with live music and the monthly farmers market, while the annual arts festivals and “Taste of Bonita” food fest bring the community together with plenty of flavor and fun.
Steeped in history, the city contains several landmarks, like the 1920s Bonita Springs School, the Packard and Nutting homes, and the Liles Hotel.
