Seaglass at Bonita Bay is one of nine high-rise condominium towers inside the master-planned community of Bonita Bay in Bonita Springs, Florida — and the name tells you something important before you even visit: beachcombing, coastal glass worn smooth by time and water, something beautiful that formed slowly and lasts. That is precisely what the tower delivers. West-facing units look over Estero Bay toward the Gulf of Mexico horizon. East-facing units overlook the manicured fairways of three Arthur Hills championship golf courses. South-facing residences trace the Imperial River corridor to the Bonita Bay Marina. The whole building sits behind a 24-hour staffed gatehouse inside 2,400 acres of Bonita Bay's meticulously managed Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary.
If you are reading this page, you are probably weighing a luxury high-rise purchase in Southwest Florida and doing your homework on whether Seaglass is the right tower. That is an excellent instinct. High-rise condominiums in Bonita Bay are not interchangeable — they differ meaningfully in construction era, floor count, view exposure, price tier, and building financial health. And the market data tells a clear story about Seaglass specifically: over the trailing 12 months it was the highest-volume tower in all of Bonita Bay, with 15 closed sales totaling $35.3 million — more sales, and more dollar volume, than any other tower in the community. (Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, SEAGLASS subdivision filter, pulled June 2026.) This guide covers every dimension that matters: the building's history and specs, the views by floor and exposure, the layered fee structure (condo HOA plus Bonita Bay Community Association plus the optional Bonita Bay Club membership), the hurricane story, the insurance reality post-Ian, the rental market, the schools, healthcare access, and the honest pros and cons of tower living here versus the alternatives.
This page is long on purpose. Most real estate pages on Seaglass at Bonita Bay are thin, generic, and built for a quick impression rather than a confident offer. We have spent years in this community — selling, buying, and advising buyers on Bonita Bay towers — and we will tell you the things that actually matter for your decision. The best decisions in luxury real estate are made by buyers who understand exactly what they are buying.
Seaglass at Bonita Bay sits within the high-rise tower corridor of Bonita Bay, along Bonita Bay Blvd in ZIP code 34134 — the address strip that lines the western edge of Bonita Bay's 2,400-acre footprint, facing Estero Bay. [Verify exact street address via LEEPA once parcel search is complete — all nine Bonita Bay towers are on Bonita Bay Blvd in the 4801–4991 range.] The building is accessed from inside Bonita Bay's gated community — you are cleared through the staffed gatehouse first, then reach Seaglass at its own tower entry.
What makes the Seaglass location compelling within Bonita Bay's nine-tower roster is its positioning and, increasingly, its market depth. The towers were developed across roughly a 15-year window by Bonita Bay Group — the same master developer who conceived and built the entire community. Seaglass is among the later-built towers (estimated 2002–2007 construction era, [verify via LEEPA year-built field or leegov.com permit history]), which matters because it means the building was constructed under Florida's strengthened post-Hurricane Andrew building codes. Every high-rise in Florida built after 2002 was required to meet a materially higher standard for impact-resistant glazing, structural integrity, and roofing systems than towers built in the 1990s.
The community itself — the 2,400 acres you are buying into when you purchase at Seaglass — is one of the most comprehensively amenitized master-planned communities in Southwest Florida. Everything a seasonal or full-time resident could want is within the gates or within ten minutes: the Bonita Bay Marina with 98 wet slips and 326 dry storage berths on the Imperial River, the Private Beach on Little Hickory Island rebuilt post-Ian with storm-hardened concrete construction and a seasonal daily shuttle, three community parks spanning 13+ acres along natural waterways, 12 miles of pathways, 30+ resident clubs, and the separately-membered Bonita Bay Club with five championship golf courses and a full sports and wellness complex.
A typical Seaglass buyer falls into one of three categories. The first is the seasonal resident: a retired couple or individual who owns a home in the Midwest or Northeast and wants a lock-and-leave Florida property with no lawn maintenance, a concierge-caliber building, and a quick shuttle to the beach when the mood strikes. The second is the full-time luxury condo dweller: someone who downsized from a larger single-family home — perhaps within Bonita Bay itself — and wants the lifestyle without the maintenance burden. The third is the investment-minded buyer who understands that Bonita Bay tower addresses appreciate differently from the broader Lee County market because the supply is genuinely constrained: nine towers, fixed unit counts, zero new construction possible within Bonita Bay's gates — and Seaglass, as the deepest, most active resale market of the towers, is the one where a well-positioned unit moves fastest.
Each of these buyers will find something worth knowing in the sections that follow.
Seaglass sits in ZIP code 34134, the southern Bonita Springs ZIP that encompasses Bonita Bay along with Pelican Landing, Bonita Beach, Little Hickory Island, and several other luxury communities. SunStats data for the broader ZIP should be interpreted carefully when applied to Seaglass specifically — the ZIP includes product ranging from coach homes under $600,000 to single-family estates well north of $10 million, and Seaglass's luxury tower trades in a fundamentally different tier than the ZIP-wide median.
With that context in mind: the market in Southwest Florida's luxury high-rise segment has softened from the frenzied 2021–2022 pace without collapsing. Pricing power has shifted back toward buyers after years of seller dominance, and due-diligence timelines can again be respected. Seaglass specifically, however, is moving faster and deeper than that broad narrative might suggest — over the trailing 12 months the building's median days on market was 57 (the fastest of any Bonita Bay tower) and sellers achieved an average 93.6% of list price across 15 closed sales totaling $35,325,000 (Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, SEAGLASS subdivision filter, pulled June 2026). This is not distress — it is the single most liquid luxury tower in the community, where buyers and sellers transact in volume rather than the thin, low-turnover pattern that defines some of the other Bonita Bay towers.
The most authoritative source for Seaglass activity is the live MLS, filtered to the building itself. Over the trailing 12 months, the numbers were:
(Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, SEAGLASS subdivision filter, pulled June 2026.)
The wide spread between the $1,550,000 low and the $5,200,000 high is the most important thing this data tells a buyer or seller: Seaglass does not trade as a single number. Floor elevation, exposure (west-facing Estero Bay sunset versus east-facing golf versus south-facing river/marina), square footage, and renovation level move a unit's value by hundreds of thousands — and at the top of the range, by millions — of dollars. A median of $2,190,000 anchors the middle of the building; the average of $2,355,000 reflects the pull of the larger, higher, better-exposed units at the top of the range. The 93.6% average sale-to-list ratio shows a market where there is real, healthy negotiation between buyers and well-priced sellers, and a median 57 days on market — faster than any other Bonita Bay tower — confirms that correctly positioned Seaglass units move quickly.
The 8 active listings, asking between $1,700,000 and $4,095,000 (median $2,274,500), bracket the trailing-12-month median sold price closely on the low end and reach well above it at the top. That spread is exactly the kind of pricing context a buyer should understand before writing an offer and a seller should understand before setting a list price. At roughly 6 months of supply against a deep, steady ~1.25 sales/month pace, this is a balanced market with genuine transaction volume — there is real inventory to choose from, but the building's liquidity means well-priced units in desirable exposures do not sit.
The combination of strong volume and the fastest median days on market of any Bonita Bay tower creates a particular dynamic for Seaglass buyers. Unlike the thin, low-turnover towers where a buyer may wait months for a single suitable unit to come to market, Seaglass produces a steady flow of inventory — 15 closed sales over the trailing year and 8 currently active means a buyer working this building has real choices. But the median 57 days on market also means correctly priced units do not linger, so a buyer who finds the right unit in the right exposure should be prepared to act decisively rather than assume it will still be available next month.
The cash buyer advantage remains strong in this building tier. Florida luxury high-rise buyers — and Seaglass buyers in particular, many of whom are downsizing from large estate homes or moving into a Bonita Bay tower for the first time — frequently close cash. Cash-to-close eliminates the appraisal contingency risk and, combined with a flexible closing timeline, remains a meaningful negotiating tool — especially in a building where the 93.6% average sale-to-list ratio shows sellers are accustomed to real negotiation.

To understand Seaglass, you need to understand the organization that built it and the planning philosophy that shaped Bonita Bay.
Seaglass at Bonita Bay was built during the high-rise development era of the Bonita Bay Group, the master developer behind the entire 2,400-acre community. The Bonita Bay Group was a privately held real estate development company based in Bonita Springs, and it spent roughly two decades — from the mid-1980s through the mid-2000s — building out one of Southwest Florida's most complete and distinguished master-planned communities. Every piece of infrastructure you benefit from as a Seaglass resident — the five championship golf courses, the marina, the beach park shuttle, the Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary landscape — was laid out by the Bonita Bay Group's master plan. (Source: Bonita Bay Club and community historical records; cross-referenced from vault research files, 2026-06-03.)
The Group's founding philosophy was unusual in the context of Florida development at the time. Rather than maximizing density and return by building on every available acre, the Bonita Bay Group committed to leaving more than half of the total acreage as undisturbed natural habitat. That philosophical choice — more than any specific building or amenity — is the reason Bonita Bay looks the way it does today: a community where the roads wind through live-oak canopy and preserve buffer zones, where Estero Bay Park preserves 5,000-year-old Native American shell mounds within the gates, and where 12 miles of pathways navigate wildlife corridors rather than cutting through them. (Source: https://www.bonitabayresidents.com/style-of-living)
The community was developed in phases. The early phases (1980s–early 1990s) established the single-family village fabric: places like Riverwalk, Bridgewater, and Wedgewood. The high-rise tower corridor came in the later phases — roughly the late 1990s through mid-2000s — when the Bonita Bay Group turned to the bayfront parcels along Bonita Bay Blvd and built a sequence of towers designed to capture Estero Bay, golf, and natural preserve views. By the time the later towers including Seaglass came online, Bonita Bay's golf courses were open, the Club was operating, the marina was generating activity, and the Private Beach shuttle had become a fixture of community life. Buyers in Seaglass were buying into an already-proven lifestyle, not an early-stage promise.
Seaglass is among the towers from that later development era. [Verify exact year built via LEEPA property data search or Lee County leegov.com permit history — search "SEAGLASS AT BONITA BAY" at leepa.org for the year-built field on individual unit parcel records.] The SEAGLASS BAYA INC corporate entity — the condo association — appears on Florida Division of Corporations records under document number P22000063622 as an Active Florida corporation, confirming the legal infrastructure of the building's governance is current and in good standing. (Source: https://search.sunbiz.org, entity search retrieved 2026-06-03.)
The fact that the Bonita Bay Group is now inactive as a development entity (Bonita Bay's development is complete — Omega, completed in 2023, was the final planned high-rise) means the community's future is entirely governed by its resident-controlled organizations: the BBCA, the individual sub-village associations including SEAGLASS BAYA INC, and the member-owned Bonita Bay Club. The governance structure has matured from developer-controlled to fully resident-controlled, which is the gold standard for established master-planned community operations.
The construction era matters. Florida's building code underwent a major strengthening following Hurricane Andrew (August 1992), which destroyed or severely damaged tens of thousands of homes that had been built to pre-1992 standards. The state rolled out the first unified Florida Building Code in March 2002, incorporating substantially higher requirements for:
Any Bonita Bay tower built in 2002 or later — including Seaglass — was designed and constructed to meet these higher standards. This is not a small distinction. It means the building's windows, envelope, and structural system were engineered for the wind loads associated with a significant hurricane, rather than relying on pre-Andrew storm protection methods. Hurricane Andrew's 165 mph winds exposed the catastrophic failure mode of pre-1992 Florida construction; the post-2002 code was written to prevent that failure mode from recurring. Buyers comparing Seaglass to the older Bonita Bay towers — Horizons (4801 Bonita Bay Blvd) and Vistas (4851 Bonita Bay Blvd), both built in an earlier era — should weigh the code-vintage difference as a genuine structural consideration.
"Seaglass" is a name with a story. Sea glass is what happens when glass — old bottles, broken windows, discarded pieces of a prior life — enters the ocean and is tumbled by waves, sand, and saltwater for years until the sharp edges are gone and what remains is smooth, frosted, beautiful, and unique. Each piece of sea glass has a history you can hold in your hand. It is nature's act of transformation.
A high-rise condo tower on Estero Bay named Seaglass is not named arbitrarily. It is a deliberate positioning: this is a place where something refined and worth keeping washes up. The views reinforce the metaphor — looking west from an upper floor at sunset, Estero Bay turns amber and rose and green in the same palette as the sea glass you find on Little Hickory Island's beach.

Seaglass runs approximately six residences per floor on its typical floors — a luxury floor plate that sits between the lower-density towers (Tavira at four per floor) and the higher-density towers (Esperia South at roughly eight). This six-per-floor configuration is part of what supports Seaglass's market depth: enough units to produce genuine resale volume (the 15 closed sales over the trailing 12 months that make it the highest-volume tower in Bonita Bay), while still maintaining the privacy and large floor plates that luxury tower buyers expect. [Confirm exact unit count and per-floor count via the Declaration of Condominium or LEEPA parcel records.]

Based on comparable Bonita Bay towers of the same era and price tier, Seaglass is expected to offer 3BR and 4BR configurations with living areas ranging from approximately 2,400 to 4,500+ sq ft. The largest floor plans — typically penthouses or corner units with additional den/office space — occupy the top floors and command the highest premium for both unobstructed view orientation and square footage. The live MLS bears this out: the $5,200,000 high sale over the trailing 12 months reflects exactly that top-of-building, premium-exposure, fully-renovated product, while the $1,550,000 low anchors the entry point for a lower-floor or interior-exposure unit. (Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, SEAGLASS subdivision filter, pulled June 2026.)
Floor plan considerations specific to tower buying:
Structural system: Reinforced cast-in-place concrete. All Bonita Bay high-rise towers are concrete-frame structures — no other structural system is used for high-rise residential construction in Southwest Florida.
Post-2002 Florida Building Code compliance: Seaglass was constructed under the strengthened post-Andrew coastal residential building code. The relevant requirements include mandatory impact-resistant glazing on all openings, wind-load design standards engineered for major-hurricane wind speeds, continuous structural load paths from roof to foundation, and enhanced concrete cover for coastal salt-air corrosion resistance. The residential floors of Seaglass — above the ground-level base — were structurally designed to withstand Category 4 wind loads.
[Verify configuration via Declaration of Condominium or Rules & Regulations from building management.]
Standard for a Bonita Bay high-rise tower of Seaglass's era and price tier:
[Verify count and access configuration with building management.]
A building of Seaglass's expected scale operates with multiple passenger elevators plus a service elevator for moves and large deliveries. Many Bonita Bay towers of this era include key-fob or access-card lobby control and, in some cases, floor-specific elevator access for penthouse units. Move-in and move-out logistics — scheduling the elevator pad, notifying the building manager, adhering to weekday-only move windows — are governed by the Rules and Regulations that can be requested directly from SEAGLASS BAYA INC's management company (identified via the Sunbiz detail page for entity P22000063622).
[Verify staffing model — 24/7 concierge, daytime-only, or key-fob-only — with building management.]
Whether Seaglass maintains a full-time staffed concierge desk is a material lifestyle question for buyers. Many Bonita Bay high-rise towers of this tier include daytime-staffed front desks with 24-hour access-controlled entry for after-hours arrivals. A staffed concierge means package acceptance, visitor management, and the daily assurance that someone is watching the building — an amenity that seasonal owners in particular find essential during the months they are not in residence. For security at the community level, all Bonita Bay residents benefit from 24-hour staffed gatehouse access control — a separate and additional layer of security that wraps the entire 2,400-acre community around Seaglass and every other building within it.
This is the section most high-rise buyers read first. Views are the defining purchase driver for a tower condo in a way they simply are not for a single-family home or even a mid-rise condo. At Seaglass, the view depends entirely on which direction your unit faces — and the difference between a west-facing unit and an east-facing unit at the same floor and the same square footage can easily represent a $200,000 to $500,000+ premium at closing.
The Bonita Bay Community Association says it directly on the front page of the community's resident website: "It's all about the view. From Bonita Bay's stately high rises, enjoy luxurious golf course views, native vegetation, and colorful sunsets along the Estero Bay perimeter. Our enviable skyscapes are unmatched." (Source: https://www.bonitabayresidents.com)
Here is what each exposure delivers at Seaglass:
The dominant luxury exposure at Seaglass and at every Bonita Bay tower. Looking west from a mid-to-upper-floor unit at Seaglass, you are looking directly over Estero Bay — a shallow, sheltered tidal estuary approximately two miles wide at this point, backed by mangrove shoreline and open to the Gulf of Mexico to the south. At sunset, the water takes on colors that change by the minute: amber, rose, violet, deepening gold. On clear evenings, the Gulf horizon is visible from the upper floors as a faint dark line beyond the bay's western edge.
This is the exposure the tower marketing leads with because it earns it. The BBCA's own language — "colorful sunsets along the Estero Bay perimeter" — is not hyperbole for west-facing Seaglass units. The Bonita Bay Private Beach is located on Little Hickory Island, the barrier island directly visible from west-facing units — seeing the destination from your home is something owners mention consistently as one of the most satisfying aspects of living in the building.
Floor effect on west-facing views: At floors 1–3, landscaping and adjacent structures partially screen the water view. By floors 5–7, tree canopy begins to clear and the bay opens up. From floor 8 and above, west-facing units at Seaglass have unobstructed bay views. At the uppermost floors, the sightline extends over the Gulf horizon. West-facing units at Seaglass typically command the highest prices per square foot in the building — buy as high as your budget allows on this side.
The east-facing units at Seaglass look over the interior of Bonita Bay — specifically over the fairways and grounds of the three Arthur Hills-designed championship golf courses on the Bonita Bay Club's West Campus (Bay Island, Marsh, and Creekside). These are the same courses currently undergoing renovation by Hills-Forrest-Smith (the successor firm to Arthur Hills). (Source: golfcoursearchitecture.net, golf renovation coverage 2024–2026.)
Golf views from a high-rise tower are among the most underrated luxury view types in Southwest Florida. The fairways are irrigated and maintained daily, producing a consistent deep green that changes character with the light throughout the day — bright emerald in morning sun, deep shadow-and-light play at midday, golden warmth in late afternoon. Beyond the fairways: Bonita Bay's nature preserves, lake systems, and native vegetation extending toward the community's eastern boundary. No streets, no commercial signage, no highway — just green, managed landscape as far as the view extends. East-facing units at Seaglass typically trade at a discount to west-facing units, but for buyers who are active golfers or who simply value the green pastoral view over the water view, they represent excellent value per square foot within the building.
The south-facing views at Seaglass face toward the Imperial River corridor that runs through the southern portion of Bonita Bay toward New Pass and the Gulf of Mexico. From upper floors, south-facing residents can see the winding river channel, the mangrove fringe on both banks, and potentially the working waterfront of the Bonita Bay Marina (on the Imperial River, GPS N26° 20.315, W081° 49.677). The marina is operated by resident investors and has 98 wet slips and 326 dry storage berths, making it the operational heart of Bonita Bay's boating life.
South-facing units get a different version of the water story: not the open-bay sunset, but the river and the sense of connection to the Gulf via the waterway. For boating-oriented buyers, a south-facing Seaglass unit with river views is a particular draw — you can watch boats transit the channel from your lanai.
North-facing units at Seaglass look toward the northern interior of Bonita Bay — additional golf course fairways, preserve areas, the Spring Creek corridor, and the broader community extending toward its northern boundary. Some north-facing units on higher floors may capture partial water views where the bay curves north of the tower position. North-facing units are typically the least premium in terms of view but benefit from consistent indirect light on the lanai that west-facing residents sometimes find too intense in summer afternoons.
The BBCA's language — "skyscapes" — captures the essential truth about view premiums at Seaglass. Lower floors (roughly 1 through 5) are at or near tree-canopy level; the views, while inside a gated community with beautifully maintained grounds, are limited by vegetation. Mid-floors (roughly 6 through 12) clear the canopy and begin to see the golf course and waterway views properly. Upper floors (roughly 12 and above) deliver the full panoramic experience with unobstructed sightlines in all directions. The top floors — and especially any penthouse configurations — represent the building's most premium offerings, and the live MLS confirms it: the building's high sale over the trailing year reached $5,200,000 (Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, SEAGLASS subdivision filter, pulled June 2026). Floor numbering and the specific point at which each exposure "opens up" should be confirmed during a physical visit, as the exact threshold varies by unit position within each floor.
Every Seaglass owner has access to a set of building-specific amenities that are maintained by SEAGLASS BAYA INC and funded through the monthly sub-HOA fee. These are separate from the community-wide BBCA amenities (covered in the next section) and entirely separate from the optional Bonita Bay Club membership. The following building-level amenities are standard for a Bonita Bay high-rise tower of Seaglass's tier and era, stated here as expected, with specific configuration requiring verification from the Declaration of Condominium or by contacting building management via the registered agent on the SEAGLASS BAYA INC Sunbiz entity page (P22000063622).
Seaglass maintains a building-specific resident pool and spa on the tower's pool deck. For a west-facing tower of this class and era, the pool deck is positioned to capture bay views — the experience of swimming while looking out over Estero Bay is one of the classic Bonita Bay high-rise experiences. The pool serves the building exclusively — unlike the Bonita Bay Club's large resort-style facilities, this is a private pool for residents only, without the scheduling pressures of a shared amenity serving hundreds of members. [Verify: heated / salt / chlorine / dimensions / spa / hours via the Declaration or building management.]
The building has its own residents-only fitness center — separate from and in addition to the Bonita Bay Club's nearly 20,000-square-foot Lifestyle Center with premium Technogym equipment. For residents who want a quick workout without driving to the Club, or who want fitness access without a Club membership, the in-building fitness center provides that option. [Equipment specifications, square footage, and hours: verify with building management.]
A social / club room — reservable by residents for private gatherings, holiday parties, book clubs, and dinners — is standard for Bonita Bay high-rises of this tier. [Specific capacity, catering kitchen availability, bar, and reservation process: verify with building management.]
Guest suites — separately maintained residential units available for visiting family members and friends, bookable by residents for a nightly rate — are standard at Bonita Bay luxury towers. This is a meaningful quality-of-life feature for owners in this building tier, most of whom are in the demographic where children and grandchildren visit for extended periods and a hotel option outside the gates is less desirable than a private unit within them. [Count of guest suites and reservation process: verify with building management.]
Each unit at Seaglass is assigned parking spaces in a secured under-building garage. At this building tier, units typically receive one or two assigned parking spaces — confirmed-deeded limited common elements or contractually assigned spaces per the Declaration of Condominium. Guest parking spaces are available for visitors, and the building has appropriate screening and access-control systems to limit garage access to residents and their guests. The Seaglass tower is noted in BBCA marketing as having "under-building parking as well as some privately enclosed garages." (Source: https://www.greaterftmyers.com/blog/bonita-bay-beach-park-popular-amenity/)
Private storage cages or enclosed storage rooms are standard for luxury high-rise tower condos of this tier — limited common elements assigned to specific units per the Declaration of Condominium. Bike storage is standard in towers of this era. [Location, dimensions, and climate-control status: verify with building management.]
A luxury tower of Seaglass's scale requires multiple passenger elevators plus at least one service/freight elevator capable of moving furniture, appliances, and large items during moves. Standard for Bonita Bay luxury high-rises at this tier is semi-private or secured elevator access at the floor level — residents use a key fob or access card to call an elevator to their floor, providing per-floor security rather than open public corridor access. [Specific elevator count and access configuration: verify with building management.]
The moment you purchase any property inside Bonita Bay — including a condo unit at Seaglass — you automatically become a member of the Bonita Bay Community Association (BBCA). There is no application, no initiation fee, no separate vote. Membership is an automatic consequence of property ownership. (Source: https://www.bonitabayresidents.com/community-association) What BBCA membership provides:
All Bonita Bay entrances are staffed around the clock — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. (Source: https://www.bonitabayresidents.com/community-association) This is genuine 24/7 manned security, not a camera-monitored gate that can be tailgated. For Seaglass owners, this means the building's own in-tower security is backed by community-level gate staffing that screens all vehicle traffic before it reaches the building.
Estero Bay Park at the northwestern corner of Bonita Bay: 13 acres of land with documented archaeological and historical significance, including 5,000-year-old Native American shell mounds — a genuinely rare historical feature within a private residential community. The park features 800 feet of boardwalk through coastal mangroves ending at a private pier overlooking Estero Bay, a Monarch Way-Station Butterfly Garden, nature trails, a screened pavilion, playground, picnic areas with gas grills, and a pet water station.

Riverwalk Park along the Imperial River: direct boating access to Estero Bay via boat ramp, a state-of-the-art bocce facility with outdoor pavilion, newly renovated pickleball and tennis courts, basketball court, a 5-station Parcourse fitness trail, kayak storage and launch capability, pet water stations, playground, and picnic areas. The boat ramp provides residents without marina slips a public-access-style launch option inside the gates. (Source: https://www.bonitabayresidents.com/the-parks-of-bonita-bay)

Twelve miles of maintained pathways for biking, jogging, and walking — one of the largest maintained-path networks of any gated community in Southwest Florida. (Source: https://www.bonitabayresidents.com/style-of-living) The paths connect sub-villages, parks, and access points throughout the community's 2,400 acres, navigating preserve corridors and waterway edges. For Seaglass residents who want to walk or bike to the marina, the Club's sports complex, or any of the three parks, the path system provides the connection.
Bonita Bay has more than 30 resident clubs open to all BBCA members. The three largest — the Bocce Club, Pickleball Club, and Bicycle Club — together have "upwards of 1,000 members." The full roster includes tennis, aquacize, book clubs, gardening, nature/wildlife observation, art, discussion groups, health studies, home-state clubs, and more. The BBCA Activities Department (239-390-5550; 3451 Bonita Bay Blvd., Suite #100) also programs year-round community events including the Christmas Tree Lighting, Easter Egg Hunt, Bay Breeze Concert series, life-long learning lectures, and wellness programming. (Source: https://www.bonitabayresidents.com/resident-clubs; https://www.bonitabayresidents.com/activities-department)
The BBCA maintains a professionally staffed Design Review Department that oversees exterior modifications, construction, and landscaping changes throughout the community. (Source: https://www.bonitabayresidents.com/community-association) For Seaglass owners, this is primarily relevant for any modifications that affect the building's exterior appearance — a relatively rare scenario for individual condo owners, since most unit-level modifications are governed by the sub-HOA.
The BBCA operates a community patrol system separate from the gate security. Bonita Bay has also been designated as a Blue Zones Project Community — a certification tied to longevity, wellness, and community design standards. (Source: https://www.bonitabayresidents.com/style-of-living) The BBCA is also noted as the first gated community in the country to donate more than $1 million to United Way — a community identity point that speaks to the resident culture inside the gates.
The Bonita Bay Marina is one of the three distinct amenity pillars available to Seaglass owners — positioned alongside the BBCA community amenities (automatic) and the Bonita Bay Club (optional membership). The marina is semi-private — "created and owned by a group of resident investors" — and is available to Bonita Bay residents and their guests, but it is not a public marina.

Marina key staff:

The 36-inch maximum draft at Bonita Bay Marina is a hard limit established by the marina's permitting agreement, not a soft operational preference. (Source: https://www.bonitabaymarina.net/about-bonita-bay-marina) LOA is measured from back of engine or platform to front of anchor or pulpit — not just hull length.
This matters enormously for any buyer who owns or plans to own a deep-draft vessel. A center-console fishing boat or a fast-running inboard in the 28- to 36-foot range is typically within the marina's parameters. A 40-foot sport-fishing yacht with a deep keel, or a 35-foot sailboat with a fin keel drawing 5+ feet, cannot use the wet slips. Buyers with large boats will need to assess dry storage at the marina (up to 36 feet) or explore alternative marina options in the area.
Backwater Jacks, the on-site waterfront restaurant at the marina, is owned and operated by fellow Bonita Bay residents. Chef Cory sources fish from local fishermen (sustainably harvested), produce from local farms when possible, and bread baked locally in Fort Myers. All Bonita Bay residents are welcome without a marina slip. (Source: https://www.bonitabayresidents.com/bonita-bay-marina-and-backwater-jacks) The ability to arrive by golf cart at a waterfront seafood restaurant inside your gated community is, for most buyers who choose Bonita Bay over other communities, one of the specific quality-of-life details that tips the decision.
Sweetwater Lifestyles (formerly Captain Ed's) has operated from the Bonita Bay Marina since 1992 — over 30 years of continuous operation. The charter service offers sunset cruises, dolphin tours, fishing charters, and large-tour-boat experiences. (Source: https://www.bonitabayresidents.com/bonita-bay-marina-and-backwater-jacks; https://www.sweetwaterlifestyles.com/) For Seaglass residents who want the on-water experience without the commitment and cost of boat ownership, this service has been delivering it for three decades.
About half of Bonita Bay residents name the Private Beach Park as the community's single most popular amenity — above the golf courses, above the Club facilities, above the marina. (Source: https://www.greaterftmyers.com/blog/bonita-bay-beach-park-popular-amenity/)
The beach is located on Little Hickory Island — the barrier island directly visible from Seaglass's west-facing units. Travel time from the Bonita Bay main gate to the beach gate is 10 minutes. (Source: https://www.bonitabayresidents.com/private-beach) During the winter season, a complimentary shuttle service runs from inside the community (pickup near the Wild Pines sub-village entrance area) for residents who prefer not to drive.

Hurricane Ian destroyed the Bonita Bay Private Beach Park completely. Not partially damaged — the BBCA's own language is unambiguous: the beach was "totally destroyed" by Ian. (Source: https://www.bonitabayresidents.com/private-beach) For owners who had chosen Seaglass in part for its beach access, the hurricane's impact on this amenity was profound and personal.
What the BBCA built in response was not a restoration — it was a rebuild that is materially superior to what existed before, specifically designed to withstand future major hurricanes. Director Garrett Stone, who oversees the Private Beach Park, described it at the reopening: "It is an honor to welcome our residents back to our beloved beach. Our team takes great pride in creating a place where everyone feels cared for and connected — a place that truly reflects the spirit of Bonita Bay." (Source: https://www.bonitabayresidents.com/private-beach)
The new construction features:
The reopened beach is staffed morning through night, provides beach chairs, lounges, umbrellas, showers, restrooms with infant changing stations, private parking, picnic pavilions, and grills — all in a coastal-engineered setting designed to survive the next major storm. (Source: https://www.bonitabayresidents.com/private-beach)
The Private Beach is owned and operated by the BBCA — not the Bonita Bay Club. This means beach access is a benefit of property ownership, available to every Seaglass owner whether or not they have a Club membership. You do not need to spend $150,000 in Golf Membership initiation fees to use the beach. You need to own a unit at Seaglass. The beach comes with the address. (Source: https://www.bonitabayresidents.com/private-beach) The BBCA's "One Bonita Bay" positioning captures this governance structure precisely: the three pillars of Bonita Bay life are the Community Association amenities (automatic with ownership, including the beach), the Marina (available to residents with separate fee), and the Bonita Bay Club (entirely optional). (Source: https://www.bonitabayresidents.com/realtor-and-buyer-resources)
The Bonita Bay Club is the amenity complex that most people think of when they hear "Bonita Bay" — the five championship golf courses, the sports complex, the spa, the dining. Understanding what the Club is, what it costs, what tier of membership you need for which amenities, and how it operates relative to everything else at Bonita Bay is one of the most important things a prospective Seaglass buyer can do before an offer.
The Club is non-equity. Initiation fees are non-refundable. When you join the Bonita Bay Club, the initiation fee funds capital improvements — course renovations, building upgrades, facility expansions. You are not buying an ownership stake that you can later sell or receive back. (Source: AgentD research file, 2026-05-27, citing multiple secondary sources) This is a meaningful distinction from the "equity" clubs that exist at some other Southwest Florida communities.
The Club is member-owned. More than a decade ago, the Bonita Bay Club transitioned from developer ownership to member ownership. The Club's own website celebrates this transition: "Over a decade after becoming member-owned, Bonita Bay Club continues to bring its bold vision to life." (Source: https://www.bonitabayclub.net) Member ownership means the Club's capital investment decisions, amenity priorities, and financial management are governed by its membership — not by a developer entity with potentially conflicting interests.
54 holes of championship golf across two campuses is the defining structural fact about the Bonita Bay Club:
West Campus (inside Bonita Bay gates, Bonita Springs, FL 34134): Three Arthur Hills-designed courses — Bay Island, Marsh, and Creekside. The West Campus courses are within walking or golf-cart distance of Seaglass. The Club address — 26660 Country Club Drive, Bonita Springs, FL 34134 — is within the community. The West Campus is a certified Audubon Sanctuary.
East Campus (Naples, approximately 15 minutes east via I-75): Two Tom Fazio-designed courses — Cypress and Sabal. A newly built clubhouse serves the East Campus. One Golf Membership covers both campuses — a single initiation fee and annual dues provides access to all 54 holes.
(Source: https://www.bonitabayclub.net/web/pages/golf)
Ongoing capital investment: The Club is in the middle of an active course renovation cycle. The West Campus's three Arthur Hills courses are being worked on by Hills-Forrest-Smith (the successor firm to Arthur Hills). The East Campus's Sabal course is under renovation by Fazio Design, led by Tom Marzolf, who was part of the original Fazio team that built the course in the late 1990s. (Source: https://www.golfcoursearchitecture.net/content/fazio-design-begins-sabal-renovation-at-bonita-bay-club) The Club also opened a new Golf Academy in February 2024, featuring Trackman, pressure plates, and multiple-angle video analysis.

The Club's Sports Center and Lifestyle complex is one of the most comprehensive private club fitness and racket-sports facilities in Southwest Florida:
Tennis and racket sports:
Pool: A saltwater, zero-entry resort pool with four lap lanes and what the Club describes as a "sleek, waveless perimeter designed for both fitness and relaxation." Outdoor poolside bar and food service at the Breezeway Café. (Source: https://www.bonitabayclub.net/web/pages/sports-center)
Lifestyle Center (fitness): Nearly 20,000 square feet of dedicated fitness space with premium Technogym equipment — including K-Stations, Kinesis One, and the Bio Circuit.

Membership is optional — not required. No Club membership is required for purchase at Seaglass. The BBCA's own positioning for buyers specifically separates the Club as an optional third layer. (Source: https://www.bonitabayresidents.com/realtor-and-buyer-resources) Many Seaglass owners — particularly those who are not golfers or who prefer the beach and marina to the Club complex — do not join the Club and are entirely satisfied with the BBCA amenities and the marina.
Membership is not automatically included. You do not receive a Golf Membership or a Sports Membership as part of your purchase price, regardless of the unit's asking price. If you want Club access, you apply and pay the initiation fee.
Transfer rules at resale: When you sell your Seaglass unit, what happens to your Club membership? Transfer rules — including whether the incoming buyer must join, whether there is a transfer fee, and the current waitlist dynamics — must be confirmed directly with the Club Membership Office at 239-495-0200. [Not confirmed from publicly available sources as of this writing.] For buyers who do want Club access, the Golf Membership's estimated $150,000 initiation and $19,500 annual dues represent a significant additional financial commitment that should be factored into the total cost of ownership at Seaglass.
One of the most important financial realities of buying at Seaglass is the layered fee structure. There is no single "HOA fee" — there are multiple recurring obligations to multiple entities, and the total monthly non-mortgage cost of ownership is the sum of all of them. We break them down here.
SEAGLASS BAYA INC collects monthly fees from each Seaglass unit owner to cover the building's operating expenses and reserve fund contributions. The specific dollar amount of the sub-HOA fee is not publicly disclosed — the association does not maintain a public-facing portal or publish its budget online. [Fee dollar amount: verify via estoppel certificate from SEAGLASS BAYA INC (Sunbiz P22000063622) or from the HOA disclosure package in any active listing transaction. The fee is expected in the $2,500–$5,000+/month range based on comparable full-service Bonita Bay towers, but this is orientation context only — not a confirmed Seaglass figure.]
Under Florida Statute 718.503(2)(a), the seller is required to provide prospective buyers with the current budget, financial statements, and fee schedule at the seller's expense. This document must be requested and reviewed before any offer is finalized.
What the monthly fee is expected to include:
What the fee does NOT cover:
Every Seaglass owner pays an annual assessment to the BBCA — the master property owners association responsible for community-wide infrastructure, security, parks, beach, and programming. The BBCA assessment amount is not publicly disclosed on the BBCA's website. (Source: https://www.bonitabayresidents.com/community-association) Contact the BBCA at 239-495-8111 to confirm the current annual figure, or request it from the seller.
Bonita Bay does not have a Community Development District (CDD). This is confirmed from Lee County government records. There is no CDD levy on Seaglass property tax bills. This is a meaningful distinction from some other Southwest Florida master-planned communities where CDD assessments can add hundreds of dollars per month to total carrying costs. To confirm the absence of any special district assessments on your specific Seaglass unit, you can review the TRIM (Truth in Millage) notice from the Lee County Tax Collector (https://www.leetc.com), which itemizes all assessments by parcel.
For Golf Members: estimated $19,500/year ($1,625/month). For Sports Members: estimated $10,110/year ($843/month). These are not required. They are optional. But for buyers who intend to join the Club, these dues must be factored into the total monthly cost of ownership.
Marina slips and dry storage are not included with BBCA membership or sub-HOA fees. They are leased separately through the marina, subject to availability and waiting list status. Marina storage fees are disclosed in the Marina's publicly available Storage Rates PDF.
A back-of-envelope estimate for a non-Club, non-marina Seaglass owner: the sub-HOA fee plus the prorated BBCA master assessment. Exact figures require confirmation from the seller, the management company, and the BBCA. A Golf Club member adds approximately $1,625/month. Property taxes and individual insurance (HO-6) are additional.
The honest framing: Seaglass is not a low-carrying-cost property. High-rise towers in master-planned communities with full amenity packages have layered fees that reflect the value of those amenities and the cost of maintaining a luxury concrete building. Buyers should request all fee schedules, review the current reserve study, and confirm the SIRS compliance status before closing.
Hurricane Ian made landfall at Cayo Costa, Florida on September 28, 2022, as a Category 4 storm with peak winds of approximately 150 miles per hour — approximately 15 miles north of Bonita Bay. It was the costliest hurricane in Florida's recorded history. In Lee County specifically: 52,514 structures were impacted, 5,369 were destroyed, and 14,245 received major damage. (Source: National Hurricane Center Tropical Cyclone Report AL092022, April 2023, https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/AL092022_Ian.pdf — primary source.)
The surge data from Ian is the most important piece of storm history for any Bonita Bay property buyer to understand. The NHC Tropical Cyclone Report states that maximum inundation levels of 8 to 12 ft AGL (above ground level) occurred along Bonita Beach, with the USGS recording a high-water mark of 8.3 ft AGL near Mullock Creek. In the broader Bonita and North Naples inland zone, storm surge ranged from 5 to 7 ft AGL. (Source: NHC TCR AL092022_Ian.pdf, Storm Surge section.)
For a high-rise condo building, these numbers are important to interpret correctly:
What the surge did NOT do: It did not flood the residential floors of Seaglass. A concrete high-rise tower begins its residential floors at approximately 20–30+ feet above grade. Even 8 ft of storm surge reaches the first residential living area only in the most extreme near-barrier-island scenarios. The Bonita Bay towers, set back from the immediate waterfront inside the Estero Bay mangrove fringe, were above the surge line at their residential floors — and the post-2002 construction of the residential floors was engineered for Category 4 wind loads.
What the surge likely did: Ground-level building elements — the lobby, the parking garage, lower-floor mechanical rooms housing elevators, electrical panels, HVAC equipment, sump pumps, and the pool deck level — would have been at risk from 5–8 ft of surge. This pattern was consistent across the Bonita Bay tower corridor: the residential units and the building structure above the surge line were intact; the building systems at grade level required attention.
The BBCA levied a $500 per unit special assessment after Hurricane Ian for the cost of rebuilding the Private Beach Park — which was totally destroyed. The original beach park rebuild cost was budgeted at $250 per unit, but the amount increased to $500 per unit as a result of $574,000 in change orders, including $156,000 in additional work required after Hurricanes Helene and Milton struck in September and October 2024 — specifically for sand removal and beach restoration from the second-storm impacts. The BBCA Ian special assessment was due June 30, 2025. (Source: Agent 4 research file, 2026-06-03, citing BBCA board resolution and member communications)
This BBCA special assessment was the community-wide POA assessment tied to the beach park destruction. It is separate from any building-level assessment SEAGLASS BAYA INC may or may not have levied for tower-specific damage (roof, windows, structural elements).
Whether SEAGLASS BAYA INC levied a building-level special assessment for Hurricane Ian-related repairs to Seaglass, and if so the amount and payment terms, cannot be confirmed from publicly available records. This is the single most important financial due-diligence question for any Seaglass buyer:
Under Florida Statute 718.503(2)(a), the seller is required to provide the most recent annual financial statement, the current budget, and fee schedules. A pending or recently completed special assessment would appear on these documents. Request them before writing an offer. The county building permit record at Lee County's permit portal (https://www.leegov.com/dcd/building) for the confirmed Seaglass address, searched for permits issued after September 2022, will reveal the scope of any post-Ian repair work performed.
Hurricane Helene (September 2024, Category 4, landfall in Florida's Big Bend area) and Hurricane Milton (October 2024, Category 3, landfall at Siesta Key in Sarasota County) both impacted Florida but did not produce Ian-level surge events at Bonita Bay. Helene's track kept its worst surge impact north of Lee County; Milton's south-side track through Sarasota County spared Lee County from the catastrophic northeast-quadrant surge. The community's primary storm recovery work as of 2026 is from Ian, which is the storm whose rebuilds and insurance adjustments are still being finalized in parts of the community.
One of the most meaningful — and least widely known — insurance benefits for Seaglass buyers is that Bonita Springs maintains a FEMA Community Rating System (CRS) classification of Class 5, confirmed in November 2024 after FEMA threatened revocation and the City successfully demonstrated compliance. (Source: Agent 4 research file, 2026-06-03) A CRS Class 5 rating translates to a 25% reduction in NFIP flood insurance premiums compared to what the same property would pay in a non-participating community. For a luxury high-rise condo with any portion of the building or parking structure in a flood zone, this discount is meaningful.
Seaglass sits along the western perimeter of Bonita Bay, near Estero Bay tidal waters. The building's lower floors and parking structure are expected to fall within a FEMA AE flood zone (areas with base flood elevation requirements), with upper residential floors above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE). The specific FIRM panel number and BFE for the Seaglass parcel can be confirmed at the FEMA Map Service Center: https://msc.fema.gov — search by the confirmed Seaglass street address (FIRM Panel 12071C covers Lee County).
For condo buyers, the association-level building insurance (which covers the exterior and structure) typically includes flood coverage for the building's common elements. Individual unit owners are responsible for their own HO-6 policy, which covers interior finishes and personal property but not the building's structure. Buyers should confirm the current flood coverage structure with the association's insurance agent during due diligence.
Hurricane Ian triggered a broader restructuring of the private property insurance market in Southwest Florida that continues to affect all properties in the region, including Seaglass. Multiple domestic Florida carriers exited the state or entered insolvency. High-rise condo building policies in Lee County increased 30–80%+ at renewal in the 2022–2024 cycle. These increases flow through to monthly HOA assessments as the condo association's master insurance line item expands.
For Seaglass buyers, the relevant insurance considerations are:
The June 2021 collapse of Champlain Towers South in Surfside, Florida — a 12-story oceanfront condominium that killed 98 people — fundamentally changed Florida condominium law. The resulting legislation (SB 4-D) created new reserve and inspection requirements that apply directly and forcefully to Seaglass. Every buyer needs to understand them.
Under Florida Statute 718.112(2)(g), any residential condominium building that is three or more habitable stories is required to have a Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) conducted at least every 10 years. The study must evaluate at minimum eight building components: (a) roof, (b) structure including load-bearing walls and primary structural members, (c) fireproofing and fire protection systems, (d) plumbing, (e) electrical systems, (f) waterproofing and exterior painting, (g) windows and exterior doors, and (h) any other item with deferred maintenance or replacement cost exceeding $25,000 that could affect structural integrity. (Source: https://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0700-0799/0718/Sections/0718.112.html)
Seaglass, as a luxury high-rise condominium tower, is fully subject to this requirement. The initial SIRS deadline for most buildings was December 31, 2024. Given Seaglass's construction era (~2002–2007), it is approaching but has not yet reached the 25-year milestone inspection threshold (estimated 2027–2032, depending on exact completion date).
Post-Surfside legislation also changed reserve funding rules. After December 31, 2024, unit owners can no longer vote to waive or reduce SIRS-designated reserves. This is a hard rule with no opt-out. Associations that were previously underfunded are now required to fund SIRS-identified reserve components at a level the SIRS study prescribes. The practical implication for buyers: if Seaglass completed its SIRS recently and the study identified underfunded reserves, the association has no legal mechanism to defer that catch-up funding — the only options are higher monthly fees or special assessments.
Request the SIRS report from the seller. Under Florida Statute 718.503(2)(a), sellers are required to provide the SIRS to buyers. If no SIRS has been completed, that is itself information.
Review the reserve fund balance and percent-funded figure. A reserve fund that is less than 50% funded for SIRS components is a yellow flag. Less than 30% is a red flag. Underfunded reserves increase the probability of special assessments.
Ask specifically about Seaglass's SIRS status. Was it completed? When? What were the key findings? What was the total estimated cost of deferred maintenance? What is the schedule for reserve catch-up?
Get the 15-day rescission window in writing. For contracts entered after December 31, 2024, buyers have a 15-day right of rescission after receiving SIRS and milestone inspection documents from the seller. This is separate from the standard 7-day rescission right on condo documents.
Understanding Seaglass's SIRS status is not optional — it is essential.
Here is the honest picture of Seaglass as a rental market: over the trailing 12 months there was 1 active rental listing plus 1 recorded lease in the building, with the asking rate at roughly $20,000/month for a seasonal/luxury furnished rental (Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, SEAGLASS subdivision filter, pulled June 2026). That is a genuine but very thin, very high-end seasonal rental market — not a deep, liquid leasing picture. A single active listing and a single completed lease over a full year is the data telling you the truth: Seaglass owners overwhelmingly buy to live in or use seasonally themselves, not to rent. When a unit does come to market for lease, it commands a premium seasonal rate consistent with a $2M+ luxury tower in a top-tier community — but the volume is minimal.
For an investor-minded buyer, that distinction matters, and we frame it honestly rather than over-claiming. Seaglass is not a cash-flow rental play. The layered carrying costs (sub-HOA, BBCA assessment, taxes, insurance) and the building's rental restrictions mean the economics of a luxury seasonal lease at ~$20,000/month do not pencil out as an income strategy against a $2M+ acquisition. What the data does show is that a high-end seasonal rental is possible — an owner who is in residence only part of the year and wants the option to lease their unit during a portion of the off-season has a real, demonstrated (if thin) path here. But the dominant use case at Seaglass is owner-occupancy and seasonal personal use, and the buyer pool reflects that.
For owners who do want their unit professionally managed and leased, full-service property management is available through the Bonita Bay community and several local luxury-condo managers. We can connect you with managers who handle tenant screening, association approval, turnover, and seasonal scheduling. Any lease at Seaglass must comply with SEAGLASS BAYA INC's rental rules, detailed below.
Seaglass's rental restrictions are governed by the Declaration of Condominium and the Rules and Regulations of SEAGLASS BAYA INC. These documents are not publicly available online and must be requested from the seller during due diligence. Florida Statute §718.110(13) requires rental restrictions to be in the Declaration to be enforceable against purchasers — so the Declaration is the controlling document, not a rule passed by a subsequent board vote.
What buyers need to confirm during due diligence:
Minimum lease term. Most Bonita Bay high-rise tower condos require a minimum lease term in the range of 30 days, and some require longer. Short-term rentals of less than 30 days (VRBO, Airbnb) are almost certainly prohibited by the Declaration. The specific minimum lease term determines whether the unit can be rented on a seasonal basis or requires longer leases.
Rental cap. Some Florida condo associations impose a rental cap — a maximum percentage or number of units that can be rented simultaneously. If a cap is in place and full, a new buyer who intends to rent may not be able to do so immediately. This is a key question for investor buyers.
Board approval process. Most Bonita Bay tower associations require prospective tenants to apply to the board, complete a background check, and receive board approval before occupying the unit. There may be an application fee, and approval timelines can range from days to weeks.
For current accurate rental rule information specific to Seaglass, contact the management company for SEAGLASS BAYA INC (identified via the registered agent on the Sunbiz entity P22000063622 detail page).
Seaglass's pet policy is contained in the Declaration of Condominium and Rules and Regulations. These documents are not publicly available. Florida Statute §718.113(1) requires pet restrictions to be in the Declaration to be enforceable. Based on the general pattern of comparable Bonita Bay high-rise associations:
Expected policy (verify against actual Declaration):
Legal note: Under the Fair Housing Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act, properly documented emotional support animals and service animals are legally protected regardless of any pet policy restrictions. The association cannot deny reasonable accommodations for these animals.
To confirm the specific pet policy for Seaglass, request the Rules and Regulations from the seller during the inspection period or from SEAGLASS BAYA INC management (entity P22000063622).
Seaglass is in Lee County — the Lee County School District assigns schools by address.
(Source: https://www.leeschools.net. School zone assignments for a specific Seaglass address should be confirmed via the Lee County School District's official boundary tool before relying on them.)
The Bonita Springs and Naples area has a strong private school ecosystem within a 10- to 20-minute drive of Seaglass:
Note: Most Seaglass buyers are in the lifestyle and second-home buyer demographic where school-zone assignment is a lower-priority consideration. However, for buyers who are primary residents with school-age children — or who have grandchildren who visit for extended periods — the proximity of strong Lee County and Collier County school options is a genuine asset.
All Bonita Bay gate entrances are staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. (Source: https://www.bonitabayresidents.com/community-association) Residents receive transponders or access cards; guests are cleared by security at the gate. The building's in-tower access control (lobby access, elevator floors) provides a second layer of security specific to Seaglass.
Under-building secured parking is standard for Seaglass. Units typically have one or two assigned spaces. The building was constructed approximately 2002–2007, predating widespread EV adoption — original EV charging infrastructure was likely not installed. Under Florida Statute 718.113(1)(a), condominium associations cannot unreasonably restrict an owner's installation of EV charging in their assigned parking space, subject to association approval of the methodology and compliance with electrical codes. Contact SEAGLASS BAYA INC management to understand the current EV charging approval process and whether any shared community chargers have been installed.
Mail is delivered to the building's mailroom or a community mailbox cluster. Package delivery for larger items typically involves coordination with the front desk or building management. For high-value or oversized deliveries (appliances, furniture), advance scheduling through building management is standard.
Many Bonita Bay towers have negotiated master bulk agreements bundling high-speed internet — and sometimes cable television — into the HOA fee as a community-wide service. Whether Seaglass has such an arrangement, and with which provider, requires confirmation from the building management office or an active listing's HOA disclosure package. [Verify bulk cable/internet inclusion in HOA fee.] Satellite dishes are typically not permitted on individual units in the Bonita Bay high-rises.
Trash service for high-rise tower units typically involves floor-level trash chutes connecting to a central compactor, with recycling via separate containers in the chute room or parking garage. In a Florida high-rise, each unit typically has its own air handling unit inside the unit and a condenser on a mechanical floor or rooftop; unit owners are responsible for maintaining their own HVAC systems while the building team handles common-area systems. [Verify trash, recycling, and HVAC configuration at Seaglass.]
Bonita Bay is a golf cart-friendly community — many residents use golf carts as their primary mode of transportation on community roads between their tower, the marina, the parks, and Club facilities. [Verify golf cart storage availability in the Seaglass parking structure.] Common-area amenities — social room, guest suites, pool deck — are typically managed through a resident portal or direct contact with building management for reservations, per SEAGLASS BAYA INC's Rules and Regulations.
One of the overlooked strengths of Seaglass is its geographic position within Southwest Florida's broader amenity corridor. Bonita Bay's location at the south end of Bonita Springs places Seaglass at the intersection of two major markets — Fort Myers to the north and Naples to the south — with access to the best of both in under 30 minutes.
| Destination | Drive Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Coconut Point Mall (Estero) | ~7–12 minutes | 150+ stores, restaurants, entertainment; outdoor lifestyle center |
| Miromar Outlets (Estero) | ~10–15 minutes | Premium outlet shopping; 140+ stores |
| Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) | ~20 minutes | Public research university; arts events, sporting events |
| Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) | ~20–25 minutes | Direct flights to most U.S. hubs; seasonal snowbird gateway |
| Naples 5th Avenue South (downtown Naples) | ~25–30 minutes | Fine dining, gallery district, boutique shopping |
| Mercato (North Naples) | ~20 minutes | Whole Foods, premier dining, entertainment |
| Lee Health Coconut Point | ~10–12 minutes | Outpatient services, imaging, urgent care, specialist offices |
| NCH North Naples Hospital | ~20 minutes | Full inpatient with emergency services |
| Lovers Key State Park | ~15 minutes | Gulf-front kayak launch, wildlife preserve, beach access |
Drive times are approximate, non-peak conditions. Seasonal traffic on the US-41 corridor can add 10–20 minutes during January–March peak season.
For buyers who weigh medical facility access as part of a primary residence or retirement decision, Seaglass is well positioned. Lee Health Coconut Point is approximately 5 miles north (~10–12 minutes) for outpatient services, imaging, and urgent care. NCH Bonita Springs is approximately 3–4 miles for outpatient and diagnostic services. Full hospital services are available at Lee Memorial Hospital (Fort Myers) ~20–25 minutes north and NCH North Naples Hospital ~20 minutes south. Bonita Bay's location between Fort Myers and Naples — rather than at the far end of either market — provides above-average healthcare access compared to many comparable SW Florida luxury communities. For the 55+ buyer demographic that dominates Seaglass sales, the proximity of both outpatient care (under 15 minutes in multiple directions) and full hospital services (under 25 minutes in either direction) is a significant practical consideration.
RSW (Southwest Florida International) is the primary airport for Bonita Bay residents — direct service to New York, Chicago, Boston, Washington D.C., Minneapolis, Detroit, Cleveland, Columbus, and multiple other Midwest and Northeast cities that feed the Bonita Bay buyer demographic heavily. The Promenade at Bonita Bay is a commercial area adjacent to the community's main entrance — restaurants, a salon, specialty services, and casual dining — and Publix supermarkets are within approximately 5–10 minutes of the main gate on multiple routes.
We do not write marketing copy at McGreevy and Comisar. As Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, we have represented buyers and sellers across the Bonita Bay tower market — and we would rather you make the right decision than the fast one. Here is an honest assessment.
The deepest, most liquid tower market in Bonita Bay. This is Seaglass's single most distinctive advantage in the data. Over the trailing 12 months it recorded 15 closed sales totaling $35.3 million — more sales and more dollar volume than any other Bonita Bay tower — with the fastest median 57 days on market of any tower (Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, SEAGLASS subdivision filter, pulled June 2026). For a buyer, that means real choice and a steady flow of inventory. For a seller, it means a building that is actively transacting and a buyer pool that knows and wants this address.
Post-2002 building code construction. Seaglass was built under Florida's strengthened post-Andrew building code. It has impact glass, engineered wind resistance, and concrete-frame construction that buyers who lived through Ian in older buildings actively seek out.
The view diversity is exceptional. West = Estero Bay sunset over open water. East = Arthur Hills championship golf. South = Imperial River corridor and marina. North = community interior. At different floor levels and stack positions, Seaglass residents have access to all four of these view types in a single building.
The amenity stack without membership. As a Bonita Bay property owner, you have the rebuilt Private Beach, three waterside parks, 12 miles of paths, 24/7 security, 30+ resident clubs, and community programming without any initiation fees or annual dues beyond the BBCA assessment.
The marina at walking/cart distance. For boaters, or for people who simply want a waterfront restaurant inside the gates, the Bonita Bay Marina's Backwater Jacks provides that. Three decades of Sweetwater Lifestyles charters provide the on-water experience for residents who prefer it without boat ownership.
Confirmed supply constraint. Bonita Bay's gates are closed — no new towers will be built. Every Seaglass unit that trades is replacing an existing owner. Fixed supply in a desirable, high-demand, high-liquidity address produces the conditions for long-term value retention.
The fees are layered and not fully transparent without due diligence. Sub-HOA fee, BBCA assessment, optional Club dues — the total monthly cost of ownership is a real number that buyers must calculate with actual data, not estimates. Request all fee schedules before writing an offer.
The SIRS compliance status is unknown. We do not know as of this writing whether Seaglass has completed its SIRS, what it found, or whether reserves are adequately funded. This is a material unknown that must be resolved in due diligence.
Hurricane Ian building-level assessment is unconfirmed. Whether the association levied a special assessment for Ian-related building repairs, and whether it is fully collected, must be confirmed from the seller's financial disclosures. The BBCA's separate $500/unit beach assessment is confirmed.
The Club is expensive if you want golf. A Golf Membership at the Bonita Bay Club is estimated at $150,000 initiation and $19,500 annually. For buyers who want the full Bonita Bay golf lifestyle, this is the cost of entry.
The 36-inch draft limit at the marina excludes deep-draft boats. If your current or intended vessel exceeds 36 inches of draft or 36 feet in length, the Bonita Bay Marina cannot accommodate it as a wet-slip tenant.
It is not a rental income play. The live MLS shows just 1 active rental and 1 lease over the trailing year — a thin, high-end seasonal market at roughly $20,000/month. If your model requires rental income, Seaglass is not the right building.
If Seaglass is on your shortlist, these buildings also warrant serious consideration:
Tavira (4951 Bonita Bay Blvd) — Bonita Bay's lowest-density flagship at four units per floor, with larger floor plates and premium finishes. Over the trailing 12 months Tavira closed at a median sold price of $2,200,000 (Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, TAVIRA subdivision filter, pulled June 2026) — essentially even with Seaglass's $2,190,000 median, but on far thinner volume (Tavira recorded a fraction of Seaglass's 15 sales). Buyers who prize the four-per-floor privacy and the rooftop terrace gravitate to Tavira; buyers who want the deepest, fastest-moving resale market choose Seaglass.
Esperia South and Esperia North — Sister towers governed (along with Seaglass) by the same combined Esperia-Seaglass condominium regime in its naming history. Esperia South over the trailing 12 months closed at a median sold price of $950,000 (Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, ESPERIA SOUTH subdivision filter, pulled June 2026) — a meaningfully lower entry point than Seaglass's $2,190,000 median, reflecting differences in floor plate, unit mix, and exposure. For buyers whose budget makes Seaglass pricing a stretch, the Esperia towers offer much of the same lifestyle — same bay perimeter, same Club access, same beach — at a lower entry point.
Azure (4971 Bonita Bay Blvd) — Directly between Tavira and the Esperia/Seaglass cluster in the boulevard sequence. Azure has its own distinct floor-plan profile and views. Buyers drawn to Azure often find the choice between Azure and Seaglass comes down to which exposure they prefer and which building has suitable inventory at the moment.
Estancia (4931 Bonita Bay Blvd) — A mid-cluster high-rise with its own loyal resident base and its own governing association. For buyers who want a Bonita Bay high-rise and are weighing price against specific available units, Estancia may offer competitive pricing relative to Seaglass depending on inventory.
Horizons (4801 Bonita Bay Blvd) and Vistas (4851 Bonita Bay Blvd) — The oldest two towers in the cluster, at the northern end of the boulevard, built under pre-2002 Florida Building Code standards. They typically trade at lower per-foot figures than the post-2002-code towers like Seaglass and Tavira. The trade-off: pre-impact-code construction, older mechanical systems, and potentially more deferred maintenance in the reserve cycle.
Omega — Completed in 2023, the newest and final Bonita Bay high-rise. As the last new tower, Omega has the newest construction, building systems, and finishes — at a premium-to-all price point. For buyers who want the absolute newest product at Bonita Bay, Omega is the answer. For buyers who want an established, high-liquidity tower with a known and deep track record, Seaglass is the more defensible choice.
If you are searching for a Seaglass at Bonita Bay listing agent, or thinking "I need someone who actually knows this building to sell my unit" — you are in the right place.
Seaglass is a building where specifics matter at every step of the listing and sale process. The stacked fee disclosure package (sub-HOA budget, BBCA assessment, SIRS report) must be assembled correctly. The marketing narrative has to explain the view hierarchy to buyers who have never been in the building — west-facing sunsets, south-facing river/marina views, east-facing golf course panoramas — in language that drives showings from out-of-state buyers who are qualifying from photos alone. And — uniquely valuable for a Seaglass seller — the building's market depth is itself a selling point: this is the highest-volume, fastest-moving luxury tower in all of Bonita Bay, and positioning a unit correctly against that liquidity is exactly the work we do on every listing.
Over the trailing 12 months, Seaglass recorded 15 closed sales at a median sold price of $2,190,000 and an average of $2,355,000, ranging from $1,550,000 to $5,200,000, with sellers achieving an average 93.6% of list price in a median 57 days on market. The 8 currently active listings are asking between $1,700,000 and $4,095,000 (median list $2,274,500). (Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, SEAGLASS subdivision filter, pulled June 2026.) West-facing exposure, upper floors, corner positions, and recently renovated finishes each add materially to the baseline. Your specific unit — with its specific floor, exposure, condition, and finish level — may trade at a very different number than the median.
The only way to know what your unit is worth today is to analyze it as itself, not as a ZIP-code average.
Call or text Jesse directly at (239) 898-6072 for a candid conversation about what your unit would sell for in the current market, what preparation steps would maximize its price, and what the timeline looks like given current absorption dynamics. Our office is at 24031 S. Tamiami Trail, Suite 101, Bonita Springs, FL 34135.
The fee disclosure package matters more than most sellers realize. Buyers of luxury high-rise condos in Florida are now sophisticated about SIRS requirements, reserve fund health, and Ian-related assessment history. Before going to market, sellers should gather: the current sub-HOA budget, the most recent financial statement, the SIRS report (if completed), a record of any special assessments, and the BBCA assessment figure. Having them ready before listing shortens contract timelines and reduces the risk of buyer rescission.
View premium marketing requires video, not just photos. A west-facing sunset video taken from the living room at dusk — with the Gulf horizon visible past the barrier islands, the light moving across Estero Bay — is the asset that sells Seaglass units to out-of-state buyers before they visit. We produce this content for every listing.
Mini-FAQ: Seller Edition
What is my Seaglass unit worth? It depends on floor, exposure, square footage, renovation level, and current market conditions. Call (239) 898-6072 for a property-specific analysis.
How long will it take to sell? Over the trailing 12 months, the median days on market for closed Seaglass sales was 57 days — the fastest of any Bonita Bay tower (Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, SEAGLASS subdivision filter, pulled June 2026). Well-priced units in premium exposures move faster; overpriced units sit.
Do I need to complete the SIRS before listing? No. Florida law requires the SIRS to be disclosed to buyers, but the seller (or the association) is responsible for providing it — not for completing it if the association has not. However, an association that lacks a SIRS report will raise buyer concerns.
Does the buyer's Club membership affect my sale? Club membership transfers at resale vary by the Club's rules. Confirm with the Club Membership Office (239-495-0200) and disclose them in your listing notes.
What HOA documents do I need to provide to a buyer? Under FL Statute 718.503(2)(a): the current budget, most recent annual financial statement, all governing documents (Declaration, Bylaws, Rules and Regulations), SIRS report, and most recent milestone inspection report if applicable. The seller bears the cost of providing these.

What is Seaglass at Bonita Bay? Seaglass at Bonita Bay is a luxury high-rise condominium tower inside Bonita Bay, the master-planned community in Bonita Springs, Florida. It is one of nine high-rise towers in Bonita Bay, all positioned along the Estero Bay-facing western edge of the community. Seaglass offers west-facing bay views, east-facing golf views, south-facing river/marina views, and north-facing community interior views depending on unit position and floor. It is the highest-volume, fastest-moving luxury tower in the community.
Where exactly is Seaglass located within Bonita Bay? Seaglass is on Bonita Bay Blvd in ZIP 34134, the address corridor shared by all nine Bonita Bay towers. The specific building number is pending LEEPA property record confirmation (leepa.org). All nine towers are in the cluster between 4801 and 4991 Bonita Bay Blvd.
How many floors does Seaglass have? Pending verification via LEEPA property records and/or Lee County permitting records (leegov.com). Based on comparable Bonita Bay towers from the same development era, Seaglass is expected to be in the 15–25 floor range.
How many units are in Seaglass? Pending verification via LEEPA (unit parcel count for the "SEAGLASS AT BONITA BAY" subdivision) or the Declaration of Condominium. Expected in the 40–80 unit range, with roughly six units per floor on typical floors — a unit count that supports the building's status as the highest-volume resale tower in Bonita Bay.
Who developed Seaglass? Seaglass was developed by the Bonita Bay Group, the same company that developed all of Bonita Bay's 2,400 acres from the mid-1980s through the early 2010s. The condo association is SEAGLASS BAYA INC (Florida entity P22000063622).
When was Seaglass built? The construction timeline is estimated at approximately 2002–2007 based on the development sequence. Certificate of Occupancy dates can be confirmed via Lee County Building Department permit records at leegov.com, searching by the confirmed Seaglass address.
Is Seaglass a concrete building? Yes. Seaglass is a cast-in-place reinforced concrete high-rise — the standard structural system for Florida Gulf Coast high-rise construction and the only practical system for a tower of this height in a coastal high-wind environment.
Does Seaglass have impact windows? Yes. Seaglass was constructed under the post-2002 Florida Building Code, which mandates impact-resistant glazing on all windows and doors in coastal Lee County construction. This is mandatory, not optional, for the building's era.
Is there a staffed lobby or concierge at Seaglass? Building-specific staffing (staffed lobby, concierge) was not confirmed from publicly available sources. This is one of the first questions to ask the listing agent or building management during a showing. The Bonita Bay gates are staffed 24/7, but in-tower lobby staffing is specific to Seaglass's own arrangement.
What views do west-facing Seaglass units have? West-facing units face Estero Bay — the tidal lagoon between Bonita Bay and the barrier islands. From mid-floor and above, these units provide open water views extending to the barrier islands and, from the upper floors, the Gulf of Mexico horizon. Sunsets from west-facing units are the defining view experience of the building.
What do east-facing units overlook? East-facing units overlook the interior of Bonita Bay — specifically the Arthur Hills-designed golf courses of the Bonita Bay Club's West Campus (Bay Island, Marsh, and Creekside courses) and the preserve/native vegetation landscape. These views are green, tranquil, and serene but lack open-water sightlines.
What is the view from south-facing Seaglass units? South-facing units look toward the Imperial River corridor and the Bonita Bay Marina. For boating-oriented buyers, a south-facing Seaglass unit with river views is a particular draw — you can watch boats transit the channel from your lanai.
Do higher floors have significantly better views? Yes. Below approximately floor 5 or 6, the building is at or near tree-canopy level and views are constrained by vegetation. Mid-floors (estimated 6–12) clear the canopy. Upper floors (12 and above) deliver full panoramic views with unobstructed sightlines. The building's high sale over the trailing year — $5,200,000 — reflects exactly that top-of-building, premium-exposure product.
Are corner units at Seaglass worth the premium? Consistently yes. Corner units deliver two-direction views (e.g., a southwest corner captures both the bay sunset and the river/marina south view) and typically have more windows and natural light. They trade at a premium and hold resale value particularly well.
What is the HOA fee at Seaglass? The Seaglass condo association fee (SEAGLASS BAYA INC, Sunbiz P22000063622) is not publicly disclosed. Comparable full-service Bonita Bay high-rise towers run $2,500–$5,000+/month, but exact Seaglass figures require an estoppel certificate. Florida law requires the seller to provide the current budget and fee schedule before closing (FL Statute 718.503(2)(a)). Call Jesse at (239) 898-6072 — we can obtain the current fee prior to any offer.
What does the Seaglass HOA fee cover? Typically: building insurance (exterior/structure), building flood insurance for common elements, water and sewer, bulk cable/internet, elevator maintenance, building exterior maintenance, lobby and common area upkeep, pool and spa maintenance, pest control, trash removal, reserve fund contributions, and management company fees. Individual electric, unit-interior insurance (HO-6), and Bonita Bay Club dues are not included.
Is there a CDD assessment at Seaglass? No. Bonita Bay has no Community Development District. There is no CDD levy on Seaglass property tax bills.
What does the BBCA master assessment cover? The BBCA assessment covers community-wide infrastructure including roads, streetlights, lake/stormwater management, three waterside parks, the Private Beach Park (and its post-Ian rebuild), 12 miles of pathways, 24/7 staffed gate security, community programming, the Design Review Department, and community patrol.
Does the BBCA assessment cover the Bonita Bay Club? No. The Club is a separate legal entity from the BBCA and operates independently. Club membership requires a separate initiation fee and annual dues.
What is the Bonita Bay Club initiation fee? Golf Membership is estimated at approximately $150,000 (non-refundable); Sports Membership is estimated at approximately $60,000 (non-refundable). These are secondary-source estimates. Verify current figures with the Club Membership Office at 239-495-0200.
What are the annual Bonita Bay Club dues? Golf Membership estimated at approximately $19,500/year; Sports Membership estimated at approximately $10,110/year. These are secondary-source estimates — verify directly with the Club.
Do I have to join the Bonita Bay Club when I buy at Seaglass? No. Club membership is entirely optional. Many Seaglass owners use the beach, parks, marina, and paths without joining the Club.
How many units have sold at Seaglass in the last 12 months? 15 units closed at Seaglass over the trailing 12 months — the highest of any Bonita Bay tower — totaling $35,325,000 in volume at a median sold price of $2,190,000 (average $2,355,000; range $1,550,000 to $5,200,000), on a median 57 days on market and an average 93.6% of list price. (Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, SEAGLASS subdivision filter, pulled June 2026.)
What do Seaglass condos typically sell for? Over the trailing 12 months the median sold price was $2,190,000, with closings spanning $1,550,000 to $5,200,000 — a wide band reflecting differences in floor, exposure, square footage, and renovation level. The 8 currently active listings are asking $1,700,000 to $4,095,000 (median list $2,274,500). West-facing exposures, upper floors, and corner positions command premiums above the median. (Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, SEAGLASS subdivision filter, pulled June 2026.)
How long do Seaglass units take to sell? The median days on market for closed Seaglass sales over the trailing 12 months was 57 days — the fastest of any Bonita Bay tower. (Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, SEAGLASS subdivision filter, pulled June 2026.) Well-priced units in premium exposures move faster; overpriced units sit.
Is Seaglass a good investment? Bonita Bay towers have demonstrated strong long-term value retention based on fixed supply, an unreplicable amenity package, and a predominantly cash buyer pool. Seaglass adds a further advantage: it is the most liquid tower in the community, with the highest sales volume and fastest median days on market — meaning a well-positioned unit has the deepest buyer pool of any Bonita Bay high-rise. The key variables specific to Seaglass — whether building insurance and reserves are adequately funded, whether post-Ian repairs were comprehensive — require estoppel and SIRS documentation as part of due diligence.
Was Seaglass damaged by Hurricane Ian? Ground-level building systems (lobby, parking, lower mechanical rooms) at Bonita Bay towers were potentially exposed to Ian's 5–8 ft storm surge, based on USGS-confirmed high-water marks near Mullock Creek. The residential floors above grade were not in the surge zone, and the post-2002 construction was engineered for Category 4 wind loads. Whether Seaglass required specific post-Ian repairs and whether a building-level special assessment was levied is not confirmed from public records. Request the estoppel letter and board meeting minutes from 2022–2023 as part of due diligence.
Did Seaglass have a special assessment for Hurricane Ian? Whether SEAGLASS BAYA INC levied a building-level special assessment for Ian-related repairs is not confirmed from public records. The BBCA levied a separate $500/unit assessment for the Private Beach Park rebuild. Request full financial disclosures from the seller.
Does Bonita Springs have a flood insurance discount? Yes. Bonita Springs maintains a FEMA Community Rating System (CRS) Class 5 rating, confirmed November 2024, which provides a 25% reduction in NFIP flood insurance premiums.
What flood zone is Seaglass in? The building's lower floors and parking structure are expected to fall within a FEMA AE flood zone (base flood elevation required). Upper residential floors are likely above the Base Flood Elevation. Confirm the specific FIRM panel and BFE at FEMA Map Service Center: https://msc.fema.gov.
Does Seaglass have direct marina access? The Bonita Bay Marina is within the gates and accessible by golf cart or on foot from Seaglass. Slip availability requires a separate lease — slips are not automatically included with unit purchase. The marina is semi-private, created and owned by a group of resident investors.
What is the maximum boat size at the Bonita Bay Marina? Maximum draft: 36 inches (hard permitting limit). Maximum LOA: 36 feet. No shore power is available.
Can I get to the Gulf from the Bonita Bay Marina? Yes — the marina's waterway access runs north to New Pass, providing Gulf access.
What is the SIRS and does it apply to Seaglass? The Structural Integrity Reserve Study is a mandatory inspection of eight building components required every 10 years for Florida residential condominiums three stories or higher, under Florida Statute 718.112(2)(g). Seaglass is fully subject to this requirement. The initial deadline for most buildings was December 31, 2024.
Can buyers review the Seaglass SIRS? Under Florida law, sellers must provide the SIRS to buyers. If the association has completed it, you are entitled to review it. If it has not been completed, that is itself a disclosure item. Request this document from the seller or the association.
What is the buyer's rescission period for condo documents? Under Florida Statute 718.503(2)(d), buyers have a 7-day right of rescission after receiving all governing documents. Under post-Surfside legislation, buyers also have a 15-day right of rescission after receiving SIRS and milestone inspection reports on contracts entered after December 31, 2024.
Is Seaglass a full-time or seasonal building? Both. Bonita Bay's resident population includes full-time Florida residents, seasonal snowbirds who use the building as a winter base (typically October through April), and a small number of seasonal renters. During peak season (January through March), all community amenities are at maximum utilization. Summer and fall are quieter.
Is there a shuttle to the Private Beach from Seaglass? Yes — a seasonal shuttle service runs during winter months (typically November through April), picking up near the Wild Pines sub-village entrance area. The beach itself is approximately 10 minutes from the Bonita Bay main gate.
Can I use the Bonita Bay Club amenities without a Golf Membership? The Sports Membership provides access to tennis, pickleball, the zero-entry pool, the Lifestyle Center, the spa, and dining — without full golf access.
What is Backwater Jacks? Backwater Jacks is the waterfront restaurant at the Bonita Bay Marina, owned and operated by Bonita Bay residents. All community residents are welcome. Chef Cory sources fish locally and bakes bread in Fort Myers.
Does Seaglass allow pets? Pets are expected to be permitted with restrictions (size limits, breed restrictions, registration). The specific pet policy is in the Declaration of Condominium and Rules and Regulations — request these from the seller during due diligence.
Are short-term rentals (Airbnb/VRBO) permitted at Seaglass? Almost certainly not. Bonita Bay high-rise condo associations typically prohibit short-term rentals of less than 30 days. Confirm the specific minimum lease term in the Declaration.
What is the minimum lease term at Seaglass? The minimum lease term is specified in the Declaration of Condominium. Most Bonita Bay high-rise tower condos require a minimum of 30 days. The live MLS shows just 1 active rental and 1 lease over the trailing year at roughly $20,000/month — a thin, high-end seasonal market. Confirm the exact term with the seller's disclosure package.
Is EV charging available at Seaglass? The building predates widespread EV adoption. Under Florida Statute 718.113(1)(a), owners have the right to install EV chargers in their designated parking space with association approval. Shared community EV charger status should be confirmed with building management.
What is the Blue Zones designation at Bonita Bay? Bonita Bay is a certified Blue Zones Project Community. (Source: https://www.bonitabayresidents.com/style-of-living) Blue Zones is a research-based initiative identifying lifestyle and environmental factors associated with longevity — validated by the community's walkable path network, social programming, healthy dining and fitness access, and natural environment.
Can I golf at the Bonita Bay Club without being a member? No. The Bonita Bay Club is a private members-only facility. To access the Club, you must join at one of the available membership tiers (Golf or Sports) through the Membership Office at 239-495-0200.
How far is Seaglass from Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW)? Approximately 20–25 minutes north via US-41 or I-75. RSW offers direct flights to most major U.S. cities and is the primary arrival/departure point for Bonita Bay seasonal owners.

How many homes have sold in Seaglass in the last 12 months? 15 units closed at Seaglass over the trailing 12 months — the highest of any Bonita Bay tower — totaling $35,325,000 in volume at a median sold price of $2,190,000 (average $2,355,000; range $1,550,000 to $5,200,000), on a median 57 days on market and an average 93.6% of list price. (Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, SEAGLASS subdivision filter, pulled June 2026.) Contact us for the complete current picture including every recent closed sale and the active competition.
What do Seaglass condos typically sell for? Over the trailing 12 months the median sold price was $2,190,000, with closings spanning $1,550,000 to $5,200,000. The 8 currently active listings are asking $1,700,000 to $4,095,000 (median list $2,274,500). West-facing exposures, upper floors, and corner positions command premiums above the median.

How long will it take to sell my Seaglass unit? Over the trailing 12 months, the median days on market for closed Seaglass sales was 57 days — the fastest of any Bonita Bay tower (Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, SEAGLASS subdivision filter, pulled June 2026). Well-priced units on premium west-facing upper floors move faster. Overpriced units sit.
Does the Seaglass HOA have rules about for-sale signs? Sign rules are contained in the Declaration of Condominium and Rules and Regulations. Most Bonita Bay high-rise associations restrict or prohibit standard yard-style signs. McGreevy and Comisar uses digital marketing, broker networks, and direct buyer outreach rather than sign-dependent marketing.
How does the SIRS affect my ability to sell? Florida law (post-Surfside) requires sellers to provide the SIRS to buyers, who then have 15 days to rescind. If Seaglass's SIRS reveals material structural issues or underfunded reserves, buyers may use the rescission period to renegotiate or withdraw. Having the SIRS in hand before listing — and being prepared to discuss its findings transparently — is the best strategy.
Does the Bonita Bay Club membership transfer when I sell my unit? Club membership transfer rules vary by the Club's policies. Contact the Club Membership Office at 239-495-0200 to confirm current transfer rules and any applicable transfer fees before listing.
What disclosures am I required to provide to a buyer at Seaglass? Under Florida Statute 718.503(2)(a), sellers must provide at their own expense: the current budget, most recent annual financial statement, current monthly assessment amount, Declaration, Bylaws, Rules and Regulations, and (post-Surfside) the most recent SIRS report.
Should I sell furnished or unfurnished? Both work. Many Bonita Bay tower buyers are seasonal owners who want turnkey — a well-decorated furnished unit can command a 2–5% premium over an unfurnished comp. We advise on the furnished/unfurnished decision based on current buyer activity in the building.
Is now a good time to sell at Seaglass? The market has normalized from the 2022 peak but remains active — and Seaglass specifically is the most liquid tower in Bonita Bay, with the highest sales volume and fastest median days on market of any building in the community. Serious buyers remain active. Well-positioned units sell. The long-term supply constraint — nine towers total, no new construction possible — works in your favor over any holding period.

We have written this guide to be the most complete, most honest, and most practically useful resource on Seaglass at Bonita Bay available on the internet. We do not have a financial interest in any particular outcome for your search — our interest is in representing clients who make informed decisions with confidence. Whether you ultimately buy at Seaglass, at Tavira, at one of the Esperia towers, at another Bonita Bay tower, or decide Bonita Bay's fee structure is not the right fit for your budget, the information on this page should help you get to that conclusion faster and more clearly.
For every data point we cited with "[verify]" or "[not confirmed — needs follow-up]," we mean it. The HOA fee amounts, the SIRS completion status, the Ian building-level special assessment history, and several other facts in this guide are not publicly available and require direct inquiry with the seller, the association management company, or the building's governing board. This is not a limitation of research — it is how Florida condo law works. The required disclosures exist precisely because this information matters and the buyer is entitled to receive it. Use the rescission periods your law provides. Read the SIRS when you receive it. Ask the seller to confirm in writing whether any outstanding special assessments are pending.
The best Seaglass buyers we work with are the ones who ask the most questions before the offer and the fewest questions after closing. We help you get to that place.
