Bonita Bay - Seaglass

McGreevy and Comisar are the #1 real estate team in Southwest Florida selling and buying homes in Seaglass. Seaglass sellers call us first, and Seaglass buyers call us when they want the record rather than the brochure: what each recorded Seaglass sale actually paid, how the six residence stacks differ on the county roll, which association governs the tower, what the FEMA map says at 4971 Bonita Bay Blvd, and how Seaglass compares with Esperia South next door and Tavira down the boulevard.

Seaglass is a 120-residence high-rise condominium tower inside the master-planned community of Bonita Bay in Bonita Springs, Florida. Completed in 2018 by The Ronto Group, it is the second-newest of the eight towers on the Estero Bay edge of Bonita Bay, and with 120 residences it produces more resales than any other tower on the boulevard. If you are comparing agents before you list or buy, our comparison of the best real estate agents in Bonita Springs shows how local teams stack up on the public record.

This guide is built from the Lee County Property Appraiser parcel roll and qualified-sale file (dated September 2026), the Florida DBPR condominium register, the Florida Division of Corporations file for Esperia-Seaglass Condominium Association, Inc., the builder’s published construction record, FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer, Lee County’s evacuation layer, the City of Bonita Springs, the Bonita Bay Community Association, and the Southwest Florida MLS figures we pulled on September 30, 2026. Where the public record stops, we say so and name the document that answers the question. Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar are Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008 and lead Domain Realty Group, the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012.

Why McGreevy and Comisar Are the Best Realtor for Seaglass

McGreevy and Comisar are the best realtor for Seaglass because the case is on the record: the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012, Top 1% of agents nationally since 2008, over $900 million in personal sales, and a Seaglass market read built from every qualified Seaglass deed in the Lee County file, the DBPR condominium register and the tower’s association filings.

If you’re searching for the best realtor for Seaglass in Bonita Bay, Bonita Springs, whether you’re ready to sell your Seaglass home or buy your next one, McGreevy and Comisar is the team that delivers. We lead Domain Realty Group, the #1 real estate team in Southwest Florida since 2012, Top 1% Nationally since 2008, with over $2.5 billion sold as a team and $900 million in personal sales between Jesse and Marc.

That matters in Seaglass for a specific reason. Seaglass does not trade as a single number. In the last 12 months the Lee County deed record shows Seaglass residences selling for as little as $1,550,000 and as much as $4,950,000 in the same building, and the spread comes from floor, stack, heated area and exposure. A listing agent who prices a Seaglass residence off the building average, or off a Bonita Bay average, can miss by hundreds of thousands of dollars in either direction.

Recent Seaglass track record (last 12 months): In the last 12 months Seaglass has seen 12 resales in the Lee County qualified-deed record (September 2025 through the newest recorded Seaglass deed, July 13, 2026), totaling $28,380,000, and the highest-priced Seaglass sale in that window was $4,950,000, for combined residence 2303 and 2304. The Southwest Florida MLS pull of September 30, 2026 shows 12 Seaglass closings in the 12 months to September 30, 2026 with a median of 61 days on market and a median sale-to-list ratio of 93.7% across the 11 closings marketed through the MLS. We tracked every qualified deed, and we will walk you through each one.

About Seaglass (and What Makes Us the Right Team for It)

Seaglass is a 120-residence luxury condominium tower at 4971 Bonita Bay Blvd, on the western, Estero Bay edge of Bonita Bay in Bonita Springs, Florida. Its floors are numbered to 27 with no 13th floor, so the tower has 26 floors, and on its standard floors it holds six residences, with two-residence penthouse levels at the top.

Seaglass at Bonita Bay is one of eight high-rise condominium towers along Bonita Bay Boulevard, and the name tells you something before you visit: sea glass is glass tumbled by water and sand until only the smooth, frosted, lasting piece remains. The tower delivers the setting that name promises. West-facing residences look across Estero Bay toward the barrier islands, east-facing residences look over the Bonita Bay interior of fairways, lakes and preserve, and the whole building sits behind the gated entry of a 2,400-acre community.

If you are reading this page, you are almost certainly in one of three situations. You are a buyer, full-time or seasonal, weighing a luxury condominium in Bonita Bay and trying to decide whether Seaglass’s combination of price (recorded sales of $1,550,000 to $4,950,000 in the last 12 months), newer construction and layered association costs is the right fit. Or you are a Seaglass owner thinking about selling and trying to understand the current market, a realistic listing strategy and whether McGreevy and Comisar is the right team to represent you. Or you are researching Bonita Bay’s high-rise inventory before narrowing to one building.

This page is long on purpose. Most real estate pages on Seaglass are a paragraph, a photo carousel and an IDX widget. This one is the full record: how the tower was built and by whom, every stack and square-footage tier on the county roll, the association that governs it (shared with Esperia South), every qualified sale in the last 12 months, the flood zone we measured on FEMA’s own layer, the post-Surfside inspection rules and where Seaglass stands on them, a Seaglass versus Esperia South decision table, and more than 60 questions answered in buyer and seller editions.

Living in Seaglass at Bonita Bay as a Homebuyer

Living in Seaglass means a 2018 tower address inside a gated master-planned community: west-facing residences look across Estero Bay, the building connects to a resort-style amenity complex with a pool, fitness and spa rooms, a theater and guest suites, and Bonita Bay’s parks, paths, marina and Private Beach are part of owning any home here.

Seaglass sits in the high-rise corridor that lines the western edge of Bonita Bay along Bonita Bay Boulevard, in ZIP 34134. You are cleared through the community’s gated entry first, then reach Seaglass at its own tower entry near the north end of the row, between Esperia South (4951) and Omega (4991). The Ronto Group’s construction announcement described the site as nearly 250 feet from its closest neighboring building, which is part of why the tower’s side exposures feel open.

What sets Seaglass apart inside Bonita Bay’s eight-tower row is its age and its market depth. The towers were built across two decades, from Vistas (1998 on the county roll) to Omega (2022), and Seaglass (2018) is the second-newest. That matters because it was designed and built under the modern Florida Building Code, with the construction record, pilings and glazing standards of a late-2010s tower rather than a late-1990s one. And because it has 120 residences, Seaglass produces a steadier flow of listings and closings than any other tower on the boulevard.

The community around it is one of the most complete in Southwest Florida. The Bonita Bay Community Association maintains three waterside parks, 12 miles of paths and a Private Beach reached by shuttle; the Bonita Bay Marina on the Imperial River and the optional Bonita Bay Club, with five championship golf courses on two campuses, sit alongside. All of it is covered below, with sources.

Who buys in Seaglass? A typical Seaglass buyer falls into one of three groups. The first is the seasonal owner who keeps a home up north and wants a lock-and-leave Florida residence with no lawn, no roof and no exterior to manage. The second is the full-time owner who downsized from a larger single-family home, often inside Bonita Bay itself, and wants the lifestyle without the maintenance. The third is the buyer who has toured the older towers and wants a newer building with larger terraces and ten-foot ceilings. Seaglass is not an income property: the September 2026 MLS pull shows one Seaglass lease in the 12 months to September 30, 2026, and we cover the rental picture honestly below.

What the floor plans feel like. Seaglass’s standard floors hold six residences in six stacks, and the builder’s 2016 release described each tower residence as opening through a dual private elevator grand foyer, with large island kitchens, three bedrooms and three and a half baths (or three bedrooms plus a den or fourth bedroom) and ten-foot ceilings. The county roll records 2,711 to 5,816 heated square feet per residence, with a median of 2,907.

Seaglass Market Snapshot: What Seaglass Condos Sell For

Data updated: September 2026. Seaglass condos sold for a median of $2,080,000 across 12 qualified Lee County deeds recorded from September 2025 to July 2026, from $1,550,000 to $4,950,000. County deed records on this page run through September 2026, and the Southwest Florida MLS figures carry their September 2026 date.

We tracked every one of the 12 qualified Seaglass deeds in the Lee County file for the last 12 months, and every Seaglass deed back to the first closings in 2018, so the figures below come from the recorded sales themselves rather than a portal estimate. With 12 sales in 12 months, Seaglass is the only Bonita Bay tower with enough recent sales to support a 12-month median on the county record; most of the other towers need a 24- or 36-month window.

The Twelve Recorded Seaglass Sales Since September 2025

Source: Lee County Property Appraiser qualified-sale file and parcel roll, index dated September 2026 (DOR-qualified, improved sales only). All 12 are resales; none is a first sale from the developer.

How to read the table. The 12 sales total $28,380,000. With an even count, the median is the mean of the middle pair, $1,960,000 and $2,200,000, which gives $2,080,000; the mean sale is $2,365,000, pulled up by the two penthouse-level sales. Averaging each sale’s own price per heated square foot gives $706. The pattern is clear in the rows: floors 3 to 5 recorded $1,550,000 to $1,920,000, floors 8 to 20 recorded $1,960,000 to $2,250,000, and the two sales above the 22nd floor recorded $4,100,000 and $4,950,000.

Seaglass Prices Year by Year

Source: Lee County Property Appraiser qualified-sale file, September 2026. Even-count medians are the mean of the middle pair. Year-to-year medians move with the mix of floors that sold, so compare same-stack sales before reading a trend into them.

The first Seaglass deeds were recorded in November and December 2018, when The Ronto Group closed on the finished residences; those first sales are not in the table above. Since 2022 the recorded medians have eased from $3,000,000 to $1,920,000 for the partial 2026 year. The deed file records what buyers paid, not why, so we do not assign one cause; for a seller the practical point is that the 2026 sales on similar floors and stacks, not 2022 comparables, set the price.

What the Southwest Florida MLS Showed

The Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull (Development Bonita Bay, sales closed in the 12 months to September 30, 2026) shows 12 Seaglass closings from $1,550,000 to $5,200,000, a median of $2,080,000, a mean of $2,383,750, a median of $695 per square foot, a median living area of 3,088 square feet, a median sale-to-list ratio of 93.7% (on the 11 closings marketed through the MLS) and a median of 61 days on market. It also shows 6 active listings from $1,695,000 to $4,095,000 (median list $2,074,500, median $680 per square foot, median 166 days on market), one pending contract at $3,550,000 and one Seaglass lease recorded in the 12 months at a seasonal rate of $20,000.

The MLS and county figures cover slightly different windows, so they do not match line for line: the county file includes the September 29, 2025 sale of residence 1803, just before the MLS window opens, and the MLS includes the September 21, 2026 closing of residence 1604 at $2,225,000, which the county extract does not yet show. The MLS flags that closing SDE, meaning it was entered after the sale rather than marketed through the MLS, so it counts as a closing but is left out of the sale-to-list and days-on-market figures. They also differ at the top: the MLS reports a high closing of $5,200,000, while the highest deed in the county file for the last 12 months is $4,950,000. The county records deed consideration while the MLS records the reported closing price, so this page publishes the deed figure as the sale price.

How Seaglass Sits in the Tower Row on Price

In the September 2026 MLS pull, Seaglass’s 12 closings were the most of any Bonita Bay tower (Esperia South had 8, Tavira and Estancia 7, Horizons 6, Vistas 5 and Azure 4, while Omega had none). Its $695 median price per square foot was the highest among the towers that closed sales, above Azure ($612) and Tavira ($605), and its 61-day median time on market was second only to Horizons (37 days). The full benchmark table is in the tower comparison section below.

Days on Market and Absorption

Six active listings against 12 closings in a year works out to roughly six months of supply at the September 2026 pace, a balanced market rather than a crowded one. Correctly priced Seaglass residences have moved in about two months at the median, while the six standing listings had a median of 166 days on market, which is the gap between a list price set by the recorded sales and one set by hope.

Thinking of Selling Your Seaglass Home? Start With the Twelve Recorded Sales

Seaglass sellers get the most from a valuation built on the same stack and the nearest floor among the 12 recorded 2025 and 2026 sales, not on the building median.

How Seaglass Came to Be: The Ronto Group, the Esperia Site and the 2018 Tower

Seaglass was built by The Ronto Group, a Naples developer, with BCBE Construction and Stiles Construction as the construction team: vertical construction began on April 4, 2016 on 800 pilings, and the county roll and the DBPR register date the finished 120-residence condominium to 2018. It was the first new tower on Bonita Bay Boulevard in nearly a decade.

Bonita Bay’s Master Plan and the Tower Row

Bonita Bay was established in 1985 and today covers about 2,400 acres with 3,346 residences, according to the Bonita Bay Community Association’s January 2026 media brochure. The master developer, Bonita Bay Group, placed the high-rises on the bay edge and the golf courses, lakes and preserve inland, and it left less than half of the land developed, which is why the towers look out over open water and green space rather than over each other. The towers went up across two decades: Vistas (1998), Horizons (2000), Estancia (2002), Azure (2006), Esperia South (2007), Tavira (2009), Seaglass (2018) and Omega (2022), by county year built.

The Ronto Group and the Construction Team

The Ronto Group announced in 2016 that it would begin construction of its “26-floor, 120-unit Seaglass high-rise tower within Bonita Bay” on Monday, April 4, 2016, built by the team of BCBE Construction and Stiles Construction, with completion expected by summer 2018. Site preparation, including test pilings, finished in March 2016; the rest of the building’s 800 pilings were then driven, followed by pile caps and foundations, some as deep as 13 to 15 feet below grade. Ronto later described the finished building as “the glittering Seaglass tower at Bonita Bay that has redefined the high-rise living experience.”

The CTBUH Skyscraper Center records Seaglass at 99.4 meters (326 feet), 26 floors, completed in 2018, at 4971 Bonita Bay Boulevard. The Lee County Property Appraiser roll gives every one of the 119 residential parcels a year built of 2018, and the first qualified Seaglass deeds were recorded in November 2018.

Why the Association Is Called Esperia-Seaglass

Seaglass does not have an association of its own name. It belongs to Esperia-Seaglass Condominium Association, Inc., Florida Division of Corporations document N05000002334, filed March 7, 2005 as Esperia at Bonita Bay Condominium Association, Inc. and renamed by a Name Change Amendment filed June 18, 2021; its status is Active. The association was formed during the development of Esperia South (4951 Bonita Bay Blvd, 2007), and the Seaglass site next door was added to it. The Florida DBPR condominium register lists SEAGLASS AT BONITA BAY CONDO as condominium PR76088 with 120 units, recorded October 25, 2018, under managing entity MA66309, the same managing entity as Esperia South. Seaglass and Esperia South are therefore two separate legal condominiums under one association.

The Declaration of Condominium for Seaglass is recorded in the Lee County Official Records as Instrument 2018000253157, the instrument the county roll cites in every Seaglass unit’s legal description. The Ronto Group’s 2016 construction update also records that the tower’s foundation was tied into an amenity complex already in place on the site, designed by architect Santiesteban and Associates. The DBPR register and the Division of Corporations file above are the references to use when confirming the association of record for a Seaglass purchase.

Construction Standards: What a 2018 Tower Means for Buyers

Florida’s building code was rebuilt after Hurricane Andrew in 1992, and the first statewide Florida Building Code took effect in 2002. Every tower on Bonita Bay Boulevard completed from 2002 onward was designed under it, and Seaglass, designed in the mid-2010s, was built under a much later edition than Estancia (2002) or Azure (2006), with the wind-load, glazing and structural requirements that edition carried. Buyers comparing Seaglass with Vistas (1998) and Horizons (2000), both designed before the statewide code, should weigh the code vintage as a genuine structural difference, then read each building’s reserve study and inspection reports rather than assume.

The Name and What It Signals

Sea glass is what the Gulf makes of broken glass over years of tumbling: smooth, frosted and worth keeping. Naming a bay-edge tower Seaglass positions it as a place where something refined washes up, and the west-facing view at sunset, when Estero Bay turns amber and green toward the barrier islands, carries the same palette.

The Residences: Stacks, Floor Plans and Square Footage

Seaglass has 120 residences on floors numbered 3 to 27 with no 13th floor: six residences on each floor from 3 to 19, four on floors 20 to 22, three parcels on floor 23 (where 2303 and 2304 are combined) and two penthouse residences on each of floors 24 to 27. The county roll records 2,711 to 5,816 heated square feet, with a median of 2,907.

The Numbers

The Six Stacks on the County Roll

Source: Lee County Property Appraiser parcel roll, September 2026. Stack numbers are the last two digits of the residence number.

The 01 and 06 stacks carry the largest standard plan at 3,234 heated square feet, the 03 and 04 stacks carry 2,907, and the 02 and 05 stacks carry 2,725. Those figures line up with the builder’s own description: The Ronto Group’s 2016 release described three tower residence great room floor plans of 2,889 to 3,421 square feet under air (the release and the county roll measure area differently, so the two sets of numbers do not match exactly).

The Penthouse Levels

From floor 20 up the building steps in. Floors 20 to 22 carry four residences each, with the 02 and 05 positions expanding to about 4,337 heated square feet; floor 23 carries three parcels; and floors 24 to 27 carry two penthouse residences each, 4,337 square feet on most and 4,533 and 4,635 on 2604 and 2704. The builder’s release described penthouses of about 4,600 square feet under air, with three bedrooms plus a den or fourth bedroom, or four bedrooms plus a den, ceiling heights of 10 feet 8 inches or 11 feet 4 inches, expanded terraces on several, and two private rooftop terraces for the penthouses on the uppermost floor.

The Dual Private Elevator Foyer

The Ronto Group’s release described every tower residence as opening through a “dual private elevator grand foyer”: the elevator opens into a foyer serving the residences on that side rather than into a long public corridor. With six residences on a standard floor, that gives Seaglass a more private arrival than a corridor-plan tower, though not the two-residence foyer of Tavira’s four-per-floor layout.

Interiors as Delivered

Seaglass residences were delivered as fully completed homes with designer-selected finishes: flooring, paint and trim were included, buyers could choose flooring, cabinetry, countertops, hardware, plumbing fixtures and paint at Ronto’s Seaglass Design Studio, and the tower plans included large island kitchens, walk-in closets in the owner’s suite and sliders opening to multiple outdoor spaces with a gas grill, per the builder’s 2016 release. Eight years on, finishes vary by owner, and renovation level is one of the reasons two residences in the same stack can sell hundreds of thousands of dollars apart.

Parking and Garages

The Ronto Group’s release stated that each residence comes with two protected-access under-building parking spaces and that private enclosed two-car garages were available. Which residence holds which spaces or garage is set in the Declaration of Condominium and the association’s records, so confirm the specific parking and any garage with the listing documents before you write an offer.

Construction and Structural Specifications

Seaglass rests on 800 pilings, with foundation elements as deep as 13 to 15 feet below grade, per the builder’s construction updates, and is a concrete high-rise designed under the modern Florida Building Code. Specific window ratings, generator capacity and elevator counts are not published in a public primary source; they are the kind of detail the association’s engineering reports and the SIRS answer, and a buyer should ask for them in the disclosure package.

The Views: What You See From Every Exposure at Seaglass

Seaglass views depend on which way a residence faces and how high it sits: west-facing residences look across Estero Bay toward the barrier islands and the Gulf horizon, east-facing residences look over Bonita Bay’s fairways, lakes and preserve, and the north and south sides look along the bay edge and the tower row. Upper floors clear the tree canopy in every direction.

Views are the defining purchase driver for a tower condominium in a way they are not for a single-family home. The Bonita Bay Community Association puts it directly on its 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.”

West-Facing Residences: Estero Bay and Gulf Sunsets

The dominant luxury exposure at Seaglass and at every tower on the boulevard. Looking west from a mid- or upper-floor residence you are looking over Estero Bay, a shallow, sheltered estuary backed by mangrove shoreline, toward the barrier islands; from the upper floors the Gulf of Mexico horizon shows as a line beyond them. Estero Bay is a state aquatic preserve managed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, which is why buyers treat the open bay view as durable rather than as a view a future building could take away.

East-Facing Residences: Fairways, Lakes and Preserve

East-facing Seaglass residences look over the interior of Bonita Bay: the Bonita Bay Club’s courses on the Bonita Springs campus, the community’s lakes and preserve, and native vegetation running toward the eastern boundary. There are no commercial signs or highways in the view, just managed green space, and morning light on the terraces. East-facing residences generally trade below comparable west-facing residences, which makes them the value choice for buyers who prefer a green view or a cooler afternoon terrace.

North- and South-Facing Residences: Along the Bay Edge

Seaglass sits near the north end of the tower row, with Omega (4991) to the north and Esperia South (4951) to the south, and the builder’s release placed it nearly 250 feet from its closest neighboring building. Side exposures therefore look along the bay edge and across the community rather than straight into a neighbor, and corner residences in the 01 and 06 stacks combine a side view with the bay or interior view.

Floor Height and the View Premium

The county deed record shows the view premium in dollars. In the last 12 months, residences on floors 3 to 5 sold for $1,550,000 to $1,920,000, residences on floors 8 to 20 for $1,960,000 to $2,250,000, and the two penthouse-level sales for $4,100,000 and $4,950,000. Part of that spread is size, since the upper residences are larger, but the price per heated square foot also rises with height, from $526 to $660 on floors 3 to 5 to $719 to $774 on floors 8 to 18. Exactly where each exposure clears the canopy varies by stack, so confirm it in person.

The Seaglass Amenity Complex: Pool, Fitness and Spa Rooms, Theater and Guest Suites

Seaglass residents have an amenity complex with a resort-style walk-in pool and spa, a fitness facility with men’s and women’s spas including steam and massage rooms, a theater, guest suites, card and club rooms, and a covered, screened cabana with a bar and grill, as described in the builder’s 2016 construction record.

These building-level amenities are separate from the community-wide BBCA amenities and from the optional Bonita Bay Club. The Ronto Group’s July 2016 construction update describes the Seaglass foundation being tied into an amenity complex that was already in place, designed by architect Santiesteban and Associates, and lists what that complex holds. Because Seaglass and Esperia South belong to the same condominium association, which spaces are shared between the two towers and which belong to one building is set in the governing documents; confirm it in the Declaration of Condominium before you buy.

Resort-Style Walk-In Pool and Spa

The complex includes a resort-style, walk-in pool and spa, with a deck and a covered, screened cabana that includes a bar and grill. For residents who want a swim without driving to the Club, it is the everyday pool.

Fitness Facility With Men’s and Women’s Spas

The fitness facility includes men’s and women’s spas with steam and massage rooms. It gives Seaglass residents a workout and recovery space in the building, whether or not they join the Bonita Bay Club and its Lifestyle Center.

Theater, Card Rooms and Club Rooms

A theater and card and club rooms give residents space for movie nights, games and gatherings without leaving the building. Reservation rules for private use are set in the association’s Rules and Regulations.

Guest Suites

Guest suites let owners host visiting family and friends inside the gates. Nightly rates and booking rules are set by the association; ask for the current schedule with the rest of the condominium documents.

Lobby, Access and Deliveries

How the Seaglass lobby is staffed, and the hours of any front desk, are not described in a public primary source. Ask the association for its current staffing, package and visitor procedures during your review period, since seasonal owners in particular rely on them.

The Bonita Bay Community Association: What Every Purchase Includes Automatically

Every Seaglass owner automatically becomes a member of the Bonita Bay Community Association, the mandatory master association that maintains Bonita Bay’s grounds, roads, streetlights, lakes and stormwater system and its parks, including the Private Beach, and runs Community Patrol and Design Review. No application or initiation fee applies to master membership.

The BBCA says it plainly on its own site: “all homeowners automatically become ‘members’ of the Community Association.” It is a Florida not-for-profit corporation, Division of Corporations document N07041, filed January 10, 1985, and it operates as a homeowners’ association under Chapter 720 of the Florida Statutes.

Gated Entry and Community Patrol

Bonita Bay’s entries are gated and the BBCA runs a Community Patrol across the community. For a Seaglass owner, that is a layer of community-level security outside the building’s own access control.

Three Waterside Parks

Estero Bay Park, in the northwestern corner of Bonita Bay, covers 13 acres of historical and archaeological significance, including 5,000-year-old Native American shell mounds, with an 800-foot boardwalk through coastal mangroves to a private pier over Estero Bay, a Monarch Way-Station butterfly garden, nature trails, a screened pavilion, a playground, picnic areas with gas grills and a pet water station.

Riverwalk Park, along the Imperial River on the south side of the community, offers direct boating access to Estero Bay along with a bocce facility, sports courts and picnic areas.

Spring Creek Park, along Spring Creek on the northern border, adds kayak and canoe storage with a launch, nature trails and an observation deck. Details for each park are on the BBCA’s parks page.

Twelve Miles of Paths

Bonita Bay’s 12 miles of paths for walking, running and cycling connect the neighborhoods, parks and amenities, according to the BBCA’s 2026 media brochure, and they run through preserve corridors and along waterways rather than beside busy roads.

More Than 30 Resident Clubs

Residents host more than 30 clubs, from book and garden clubs to discussion groups, health study groups, sports clubs and home-state clubs, and the three largest, the Bocce, Pickleball and Bicycle clubs, together total “upwards of 1,000 members,” according to the BBCA’s resident clubs page.

Design Review

The BBCA maintains a professionally staffed Design Review Department that oversees exterior changes across the community. For a Seaglass owner, most interior work is governed by the condominium association and the City’s permits, while anything that changes the building’s exterior appearance is an association and master-level matter.

Blue Zones Recognition and Audubon Certification

Bonita Bay describes itself as the largest gated community in Southwest Florida to obtain a Blue Zones Recognized Community designation, and the BBCA’s 2026 brochure calls it one of only 14 Audubon certified communities. Both reflect the community’s walkable paths, social programming and preserved landscape.

Bonita Bay Marina: Wet Slips, Dry Storage and Backwater Jacks

The Bonita Bay Marina on the Imperial River is a semi-private, full-service marina created and owned by a group of resident investors, with 326 dry storage spaces for boats up to 36 feet and 98 wet slips, direct access to Estero Bay and the Gulf, and Backwater Jacks, a waterfront restaurant open to all Bonita Bay residents. Slips and storage are leased separately.

The marina is one of three separately owned pillars of Bonita Bay life, alongside the BBCA (automatic with ownership) and the Bonita Bay Club (optional). The BBCA’s 2026 brochure notes that the Marina and the Club “operate as separately owned and managed member-exclusive entities.” Residents bought the marina and restaurant in July 2013, when 39 resident investors took ownership, as local reporting recorded at the time.

Marina Basics

• Dry storage: 326 spaces for boats up to 36 feet
• Wet slips: 98, for vessels up to 16,000 pounds
• Services: ship’s store, boat launch, bait, fuel and on-site repair, with additional fees
• Waterway: the Imperial River, with a marked route north to New Pass and the Gulf

The 36-Inch Draft Limit

The marina’s own site states that the maximum draft at the marina is 36 inches, per its permitting agreement. That is a hard limit, not a preference. A center-console or a shallow-draft cruiser fits; a deep-keel sailboat or a large sport-fisher does not, and owners of deeper boats need a marina elsewhere on the coast.

Slip and Storage Details

Slips and dry storage are not included with a Seaglass purchase, with BBCA membership or with the condominium assessment. They are leased from the marina subject to availability, and the marina publishes its storage rates and services lists on its own site.

Backwater Jacks and Charters

Backwater Jacks, the waterfront restaurant at the marina, is open for dining to all Bonita Bay residents without a slip. Sweetwater Lifestyles runs sunset cruises, dolphin tours and fishing charters from the marina for residents who want time on the water without owning a boat.

Bonita Bay Private Beach: Included With Property Ownership

The Bonita Bay Private Beach is a Gulf-front facility owned and run by the Bonita Bay Community Association, so every Seaglass owner can use it without joining the Bonita Bay Club. It sits off Hickory Boulevard outside the gates, reached by a year-round shuttle, and was rebuilt in concrete with breakaway walls after Hurricane Ian destroyed it.

Getting There

The Private Beach is on Little Hickory Island, a short drive from the Bonita Bay gates, and the BBCA runs a year-round shuttle for residents who prefer not to drive. From an upper west-facing Seaglass residence, the barrier islands the beach sits on are part of the view.

What Ian Did and What Was Built Back

Hurricane Ian caused the “total destruction” of the Private Beach facility in September 2022, in the BBCA’s own words. The rebuilt beach reopened on November 13 with a concrete main building, breakaway walls designed to fail safely in surge without taking the structure with them, removable grills, native dune plantings and turtle-friendly lighting and fencing. The BBCA page does not print the reopening year, so we do not either.

Beach Amenities

The beach is staffed from morning to night and provides beach chairs, lounges and umbrellas, showers and restrooms, parking, picnic pavilions and grills. Because the BBCA owns it, access is a benefit of owning a Seaglass residence, not of Club membership.

Bonita Bay Club: Golf, Sports, Wellness and Dining for Seaglass Residents

The Bonita Bay Club is a separate, member-owned private club with five championship golf courses on two campuses, three by Arthur Hills in Bonita Bay and two by Tom Fazio in Naples, plus tennis, pickleball, croquet, a Lifestyle Center and dining. Membership is optional and not included with a Seaglass purchase, and the Club does not publish its fees.

How the Club Is Owned

The Club describes itself as “a separate entity within the community of Bonita Bay.” Its members bought it from the developer in 2010, for $11.5 million in total, $7.5 million of it real estate, as the Business Observer reported at the time. The current entity is Bonita Bay Club, Inc., Florida Division of Corporations document N09000004567, based at 26660 Country Club Drive. In May 2026 the members approved a $110 million clubhouse project, according to the Club’s release, which also describes about $250 million reinvested since the members acquired the Club.

Membership Is Optional, and Its Terms Are Not Published

Bonita Bay Club membership is optional and separate from home ownership. The Club does not publish initiation fees or dues on its public website; the Club’s membership office provides the current schedule.

The Five Golf Courses

• Bonita Springs campus (inside Bonita Bay): Bay Island, Marsh and Creekside, all by Arthur Hills
• Naples campus: Cypress and Sabal, both by Tom Fazio, with a practice facility and a 2.5-acre short game area

Course renovation has been continuous: the Bay Island course reopened after renovation in November 2019, before Ian, and Fazio Design has worked on Sabal. The Club opened a new Golf Academy in February 2024.

Sports, Fitness and the Lifestyle Center

The Club’s sports program includes 16 Har-Tru tennis courts, 15 pickleball courts and a croquet lawn, and its Lifestyle Center combines fitness, spa and wellness, with dining across several venues. Seaglass’s own amenity complex covers everyday fitness and pool use, so many owners join the Club for golf, racquet sports or the social calendar rather than for a gym.

What Hurricane Ian Did at the Club

The Club’s October 13, 2022 update after Ian reported that the cart barn flooded, most tennis courts and lighting were damaged, and course bridges on Bay Island and Marsh were structurally undrivable, while the Naples campus returned to normal after cleanup. Two courses, half the courts, dining and the Lifestyle Center had reopened by that date.

Seaglass HOA Fees: What the Association Layers Cover

A Seaglass owner pays two association layers: the Esperia-Seaglass Condominium Association assessment, which covers the building, its insurance, operations and reserves, and the Bonita Bay Community Association master assessment. Neither association publishes its budget or assessment on a public website, so the estoppel certificate and the adopted budget are the documents that state the real figures for a sale.

No public source states a Seaglass condominium fee, and fees at other towers are not a guide to it. What follows is what the public record supports, and the documents that answer the rest.

Layer 1: Esperia-Seaglass Condominium Association

The Seaglass condominium assessment is set by Esperia-Seaglass Condominium Association, Inc. (Florida Division of Corporations document N05000002334), which governs both Seaglass and Esperia South as separate condominiums. The association does not publish its budget or the current Seaglass assessment on a public website. The current assessment appears in the estoppel certificate, and the adopted budget, reserve schedule and financial statements come with the condominium documents a seller provides under §718.503 of the Florida Statutes.

A Florida condominium assessment for a tower like Seaglass typically funds the master insurance policy on the building structure, building operations and staff, elevator maintenance, common-area utilities and upkeep, the pool and amenity spaces, management and the reserves Florida law requires. Which services Seaglass bundles, such as cable, internet, water or sewer, is set in the adopted budget; read the line items rather than assume.

What a Seaglass assessment does not cover:

• Electricity: each residence’s own Florida Power and Light service
• Interior and contents insurance: each owner’s HO-6 policy
• Flood coverage for contents: the owner’s own policy
• Bonita Bay Club membership: entirely separate and optional
• Marina slips or storage: leased separately from the marina

Layer 2: The Bonita Bay Community Association Master Assessment

Every Bonita Bay owner is automatically a member of the Bonita Bay Community Association, the mandatory master association (Florida Division of Corporations document N07041, operating as a homeowners’ association under Chapter 720). The BBCA maintains the community’s grounds, roads, streetlights, lakes and stormwater system and its parks, including the Private Beach, and runs Community Patrol and Design Review.

Bonita Bay Community Association does not publish its master assessment or resale charges on its public website. Every owner pays the master assessment plus any neighborhood or condominium association assessment. Current figures, including any charge due at closing, appear in the estoppel certificate and the §720.401 disclosure summary provided in the sale.

Charges at Closing

The recorded master Declaration and later BBCA statements describe a resale charge that the buyer pays at closing, but the published sources conflict on the formula and no public BBCA document states the current figure. Confirm the charge in the BBCA estoppel certificate before you rely on any number. The same estoppel shows whether any master-level special assessment is open on the residence, and the condominium estoppel does the same for the Seaglass association.

No CDD and No Special Taxing District

Bonita Bay has no community development district and no special taxing district of its own: Lee County’s official list of special districts names no Bonita Bay district. The only district-type bodies that touch Bonita Bay are citywide or countywide, such as the Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue District. A Seaglass tax bill therefore carries no CDD bond or CDD operations line arising from Bonita Bay; owners pay private association assessments instead.

Understanding the Full Cost of Ownership: A Realistic 2026 Budget Model

A realistic Seaglass budget starts with the condominium assessment on the estoppel, then adds the unpublished BBCA master assessment, electricity, an HO-6 policy, flood coverage for contents, property tax and, if you join, Club dues. Only the two estoppel certificates, insurer quotes and the tax bill turn that list into firm numbers for a specific residence.

One of the most common missteps buyers make in the Bonita Bay tower row is underestimating total carrying costs. The listing shows a price and an association fee, and many buyers stop the math there. We prefer our clients have the complete model before they go to contract.

Annual recurring costs for an owner-occupant, no mortgage:

One-time costs at closing:

• Any BBCA resale charge shown on the estoppel
• Any open special assessment shown on either estoppel
• Condominium application or transfer fees set by the association
• Title insurance, documentary stamp tax and standard closing costs

For a financed buyer, add debt service. At a $2,080,000 purchase price, the county median, with 30% down, the loan is $1,456,000; at a 7.0% fixed rate over 30 years, principal and interest run about $9,687 a month, before taxes, insurance and association fees. The buyers who thrive at Seaglass enter with a clear view of these costs and a lifestyle plan that justifies them. Sellers can put a number on their side of the ledger with a free home valuation, and buyers can read how we represent buyers before building their own budget.

Governing Documents: Declaration, Bylaws, and the Post-Surfside Reserve Laws

Seaglass is a Florida condominium governed under Chapter 718 by its recorded Declaration of Condominium (Lee County Instrument 2018000253157), the bylaws and Rules and Regulations of Esperia-Seaglass Condominium Association, Inc., and it sits under the recorded master Declaration for Bonita Bay, which the BBCA administers under Chapter 720.

The Legal Framework

Chapter 718, Florida Statutes, creates the legal structure for unit ownership, common elements, association governance and the rights and duties of owners and the association. Because Seaglass sits inside Bonita Bay, a buyer receives both the condominium disclosure package and the §720.401 disclosure summary for the master association. The master Declaration is the Second Amended and Restated Declaration of General Protective Covenants and Restrictions for Bonita Bay, recorded in 2011 as Lee County Instrument 2011000142834, and the BBCA’s Amended and Restated By-Laws are recorded as Instrument 2020000126919.

The Declaration of Condominium

The Declaration of Condominium is the tower’s founding document: it defines the units, the common elements and limited common elements (including parking spaces, garages and storage), each unit’s share of the common elements, the assessment method and the use restrictions. For Seaglass it is recorded as Lee County Instrument 2018000253157, the instrument cited in the legal description of every Seaglass parcel on the county roll. It is not posted as a free public copy online; request it with the rest of the condominium documents from your title agent or the association.

One Association, Two Condominiums

Because Esperia-Seaglass Condominium Association governs both Seaglass (DBPR PR76088, 120 units) and Esperia South (4951 Bonita Bay Blvd, 119 units), a Seaglass buyer should read two things carefully: how the Declaration allocates shared amenity costs between the two condominiums, and how the association’s budget separates Seaglass’s own building expenses and reserves from Esperia South’s. The condominium documents answer both.

Bylaws and Rules and Regulations

The bylaws govern the association’s internal operations: board elections, meetings, voting and officer duties. The Rules and Regulations address daily conduct: pool and fitness hours, pets, noise, move-ins, terrace use and similar details. Rules are adopted by the board and can change, so ask for the current version during your review period.

Master Declaration Rules That Reach a Seaglass Owner

Under the recorded master Declaration, exterior improvements in Bonita Bay need prior written BBCA approval through its Design Review process, day-to-day use rules are delegated to the BBCA’s Rules and Regulations and Design Guidelines, and a transferring owner delivers the §720.401 disclosure summary to the buyer. The master Declaration sets no minimum lease term and contains no pet rules; those come from the Seaglass condominium documents.

Post-Surfside Reserve Laws: What Seaglass Buyers Must Know

The collapse of Champlain Towers South in Surfside on June 24, 2021 changed Florida condominium law for buildings of three or more stories. Senate Bill 4-D (2022) and Senate Bill 154 (2023), with later amendments including House Bill 913 (2025), created the current structural safety regime.

Milestone structural inspection: under §553.899, a condominium building three stories or taller must have a milestone inspection by December 31 of the year it reaches 30 years of age, based on its certificate of occupancy, and every 10 years after that. The local enforcement agency may require the first inspection at 25 years where local conditions, such as proximity to salt water, justify it. For a building completed in 2018, that points to 2048, or 2043 if the City of Bonita Springs applies the 25-year trigger. Seaglass is the second-newest tower on the boulevard and faces no near-term milestone deadline.

Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS): condominiums three stories or taller must have a SIRS, updated every 10 years, covering the structural and life-safety components the statute lists, and reserves for those components can no longer be waived. The statutory deadline for the first SIRS for existing buildings was extended to December 31, 2025. The SIRS applies to Seaglass regardless of its age, so ask for the completed study.

For buyers: request the completed SIRS, the current budget and the reserve schedule before closing. They tell you the building’s structural health, the reserve funding level and any deferred items the engineer identified, and a newer building like Seaglass should show a long remaining life on its major components.

Seaglass Rental Rules, Rental Market, and Investor Considerations

Data updated: September 2026. Seaglass is an owner-occupied tower: the Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull shows one Seaglass lease recorded in the 12 months to September 30, 2026, at a seasonal rate of $20,000, and two active Seaglass rental listings, also at a $20,000 seasonal rate. The leasing rules sit in the Declaration of Condominium and the association’s rules, which are not posted publicly.

Rental Market (Southwest Florida MLS)

The September 2026 rental pull for Bonita Bay returned 60 rental records across 26 subdivisions, and three of them were at Seaglass: one lease and two active listings. A single lease in a 120-residence building over a full year tells you who owns here: owner-occupants and seasonal owners, not investors. When a Seaglass residence is leased, it is a high-end seasonal rental, and the $20,000 seasonal rate reflects that.

Rental Restrictions

Seaglass’s leasing rules are set in the Declaration of Condominium (Instrument 2018000253157) and the Rules and Regulations of Esperia-Seaglass Condominium Association, neither of which is posted publicly. Under §718.110(13) of the Florida Statutes, amendments that restrict leasing generally apply only to owners who consent or who acquire title after the amendment, which is why the recorded Declaration, and not a board announcement, is the document that controls. The master Declaration for Bonita Bay sets no minimum lease term of its own and binds every tenant to the governing documents. Before you buy with any plan to lease, confirm three things in the condominium documents:

• The minimum lease term, which determines whether seasonal leasing is possible and rules out nightly or weekly rentals if it is 30 days or more
• Any cap on the number of leases per year or on the number of units leased at once
• The tenant approval process, including any application and fee

What This Means for Investors

At Seaglass’s price level the investor math is difficult. There is one Seaglass lease in the 12 months to September 30, 2026 to anchor a seasonal rate, and the carrying costs (both association layers, insurance, electricity and taxes) run all year. Buyers who consider renting at Seaglass typically plan to use the residence themselves for most of the year and lease a season to offset part of the cost.

Seaglass Pet Rules

Seaglass pet rules are set by the Declaration of Condominium and the Rules and Regulations of Esperia-Seaglass Condominium Association, which are not posted publicly, and the master Bonita Bay Declaration contains no pet provisions of its own. A buyer with a pet should confirm the number, size and registration rules in the condominium documents before writing an offer.

The public record shows where the Seaglass pet rules live: the recorded Declaration (Instrument 2018000253157) and the association’s current Rules and Regulations, which the seller provides with the condominium documents. Common questions to answer in those documents are the number of pets allowed, any weight or breed limits, leash and elevator rules, and whether pets must be registered with the association.

Federal fair housing law separately protects properly documented assistance animals, including service animals and emotional support animals, regardless of a building’s pet rules, subject to the association’s reasonable accommodation process.

Is Seaglass a 55+ Community?

Seaglass is not identified as a 55+ community in the public records we reviewed: neither the DBPR condominium register entry nor the Florida Division of Corporations file for Esperia-Seaglass Condominium Association describes housing for older persons. Any age-related occupancy rule would be in the recorded Declaration, which a buyer receives with the condominium documents.

Many Seaglass owners are empty-nesters and retirees, which is a description of the buyer pool, not a rule. Families and working-age buyers can and do purchase in Bonita Bay’s towers. If age-restricted housing matters to you in either direction, confirm the occupancy provisions in the Declaration of Condominium (Instrument 2018000253157) during your review period.

Hurricane Ian, the September 2022 Storm, and Seaglass’s Recovery

Hurricane Ian’s documented damage in Bonita Bay fell on the community’s shared assets: it destroyed the BBCA Private Beach facility, flooded the Club’s cart barn and left course bridges undrivable. No public source documents Seaglass’s own building damage, so a buyer should get the association’s written account in the disclosure package.

What Ian Did Around Bonita Bay

Hurricane Ian made landfall in southwest Florida on September 28, 2022 as a Category 4 hurricane, and the National Hurricane Center’s Tropical Cyclone Report is the official record of the storm. In Bonita Springs, storm surge came up the Imperial River and flooded homes along the river and creeks, as local reporting documented in the days after the storm.

Documented Bonita Bay impacts from primary sources:

• The BBCA Private Beach facility off Hickory Boulevard suffered “total destruction” and was rebuilt in concrete with breakaway walls
• At the Bonita Bay Club, the cart barn flooded, most tennis courts and lighting were damaged, and course bridges on Bay Island and Marsh were structurally undrivable, per the Club’s October 13, 2022 update
• Hurricanes Helene and Milton in September and October 2024 brought coastal surge, tornadoes and wind damage to the city, per the City of Bonita Springs; no primary source documents Bonita Bay-specific damage from either storm

Seaglass-Specific Ian Questions for the Association

The extent and cost of any Ian damage at Seaglass, and any special assessment the association levied for repairs, are not documented in a public primary source. The association’s own records are the only reliable account of how the building’s ground-level systems fared. Buyers should ask the association, in writing, for:

1. A summary of any Ian damage to the building and the shared amenity complex
2. The insurance claims filed and any settlements received
3. Whether any special assessment was levied on Seaglass owners for storm repairs, and its status
4. The status of any storm-related repairs

This is standard due diligence in any Bonita Bay high-rise purchase after 2022, and the answers belong in the condominium disclosure package.

Master-Level Assessments After Ian

The BBCA rebuilt the Private Beach after Ian. Whether any master-level special assessment for the rebuild remains open on a particular residence is shown on the BBCA estoppel certificate; confirm it there rather than relying on a figure passed along by word of mouth. No published BBCA document states a per-unit beach assessment figure.

The Storm Posture: FEMA Flood Zone AE, Evacuation Zone A, and What They Mean for Insurance

Seaglass’s address point at 4971 Bonita Bay Blvd sits in FEMA flood Zone AE with a static base flood elevation of 10 feet (NAVD88) on FIRM panel 12071C0652G, effective November 17, 2022. The tower is in Lee County Evacuation Zone A, and the City of Bonita Springs holds a CRS Class 5 rating worth a 25% discount on NFIP flood policies.

Seaglass’s FEMA Flood Zone: AE, Base Flood Elevation 10 Feet

We queried FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer in September 2026 at seven points around the Seaglass site: the 4971 Bonita Bay Blvd address point, points 60, 120 and 180 meters west toward the bay, a point 60 meters north, a point on the site northwest of the address point, and the Esperia South address point next door. Five of the points return Zone AE, a coastal Special Flood Hazard Area with a 1% annual chance of flooding, with a base flood elevation of 10 feet. Two points on the site west of the street return shaded Zone X, the 0.2% annual chance coastal flood hazard. Every point where we also queried the panel layer sits on FIRM panel 12071C0652G, effective November 17, 2022, and the political-area layer places the site in the City of Bonita Springs, NFIP community 120680.

Two caveats matter. First, flood zones are set per structure and parcel, and the Census address point sits on the street in front of the building, so a buyer should confirm the building’s zone with the association’s elevation certificate and the FEMA or City map. Second, FEMA has finalized a map revision taking effect March 2, 2027; the six revised panels are in unincorporated Lee County and none is a Bonita Bay panel, but it is worth checking the address again in 2027.

What Zone AE means for a Seaglass owner:

• Flood insurance is federally required for a federally backed mortgage on a structure in an AE or VE zone, and lenders decide from the building’s mapped location
• The association’s master flood policy covers the building structure; owners insure contents and interior improvements
• The City’s floodplain rules (Ordinance 22-05) govern substantial improvements in the building

What This Means for Buyers

For cash buyers, flood coverage for contents is not legally required but is strongly advisable. For financed buyers, the lender will decide from the building’s mapped zone. The structure of flood coverage for a condominium residence differs from a single-family home:

• Building and structure: covered by the association’s master flood policy, funded through the assessment
• Contents and interior improvements: the owner’s own flood policy, alongside the HO-6
• NFIP and private market: NFIP limits are fixed, so owners of high-value residences often layer private excess flood coverage above them

Request quotes from a Florida insurer when you make an offer, before you remove financing or due-diligence contingencies. HO-6 premiums depend on coverage and carrier, so get a quote for the specific residence rather than rely on a range.

Bonita Springs CRS Class 5: 25% Flood Insurance Discount

Communities that go beyond FEMA’s minimum floodplain standards earn discounts through the Community Rating System (CRS). The City of Bonita Springs holds CRS Class 5, a 25% discount on NFIP flood policies, and FEMA confirmed on November 21, 2024 that the City keeps its rating after the post-Ian review, which had put several Lee County communities’ discounts at risk earlier that year. The City’s flood guidance adds a useful rule of thumb: each foot a structure sits above the base flood elevation cuts the annual premium by nearly half, and each foot below it roughly doubles it.

Evacuation Zone A

Lee County’s evacuation layer places Seaglass, like every Bonita Bay point tested, in Evacuation Zone A, the first zone ordered to evacuate and often ordered for any named storm approaching from the Gulf. Owners, including seasonal owners who may be away, should know the zone and the building’s storm-preparation procedures.

Why Newer Concrete Construction Matters in a Storm

A 26-floor concrete tower on 800 pilings responds very differently to surge and wind than a wood-frame house: the structural risk is low, and the practical concerns are ground-level systems, the amenity deck, and glazing and seals. Seaglass’s 2018 construction under a recent edition of the Florida Building Code is an advantage, and the SIRS and the association’s engineering reports are where a buyer confirms it.

Schools Near Seaglass: Lee County’s Proximity-Based Choice

Lee County public schools use residential choice with proximity zones, so Seaglass families rank schools rather than being placed in one. Under the district’s most recent published plan, Bonita Bay families choose among elementary schools in Proximity Zone Q, middle schools in Zone GG, and high schools in the South choice zone.

Seaglass’s buyer pool is mostly adults without school-age children at home, but some buyers purchase for a multi-generational household, and every buyer deserves the full picture. Lee County does not place students in a school by address; families choose within zones.

How the choice works, under the 2025 to 2026 Student Enrollment Plan (the district approved the 2026 to 2027 plan on December 1, 2025):

• Elementary, Proximity Zone Q: Bonita Springs, Pinewoods, San Carlos, Spring Creek and Three Oaks elementary schools
• Middle, Proximity Zone GG: Bonita Springs Middle and Three Oaks Middle, with transportation provided within the zone
• High school, South zone: families rank schools in their sub-zone and contiguous sub-zones; Bonita Springs High is the nearest

Bonita Bay families rank Lee County public schools within their proximity zone; nearby options include Spring Creek Elementary, Bonita Springs Middle and Bonita Springs High. Confirm an address’s zone with the School District of Lee County’s school zone locator.

Private School Proximity

Several private schools serve the Bonita Springs and Naples corridor, including Community School of Naples, First Baptist Academy and Seacrest Country Day School in Naples. Families should confirm enrollment availability and transportation directly with each school.

Permits for Seaglass: City of Bonita Springs, Not Lee County

Building permits for Seaglass come from the City of Bonita Springs Community Development Department, not Lee County, because Bonita Bay lies inside the incorporated City of Bonita Springs, which residents voted to incorporate in 1999. Any renovation inside a residence also needs the condominium association’s approval under its rules.

How to Check a Seaglass Permit History

A buyer who wants the permit history for a residence or for the building asks the City’s Community Development Department, which handles building, zoning and permitting for Bonita Bay; the City also offers an online Citizen Access service. Lee County’s own permitting office is not the jurisdiction for Bonita Bay.

Renovation Rules Inside the Tower

Interior renovations at Seaglass typically require association approval, licensed and insured contractors, and City permits for structural, electrical, plumbing and mechanical work. The City’s substantial improvement toolkit explains how its 50% rule applies to improvements in a flood zone, and the Florida Building Code, 8th Edition (2023), effective December 31, 2023, is the current code.

Adjacent Development and Zoning Around Seaglass

Seaglass’s surroundings are settled: Bonita Bay is a fully built-out planned community inside the City of Bonita Springs, the eight boulevard towers are complete, Omega (2022) next door to the north is the newest, and the bay to the west is a state aquatic preserve. The change a Seaglass buyer should expect nearby is renovation, not new towers.

Bonita Bay has no remaining tower sites on the boulevard, so no new high-rise will be added between Seaglass and Estero Bay. Along US 41 and Bonita Beach Road outside the gates, commercial and residential projects follow the City’s zoning and its Comprehensive Plan, and the City’s Zoning District Map Book shows the planned development districts that cover the community. Inside the gates, the one major project on the horizon is the Bonita Bay Club’s member-approved clubhouse, which is a Club project, not a residential one.

Daily Logistics: How Seaglass Runs Day to Day

Day-to-day life at Seaglass runs through the association: building access, packages and vendors follow its rules, trash service is arranged at the building level, electricity comes from Florida Power and Light, water and sewer from Bonita Springs Utilities, and fire and EMS from the Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue District.

Gated Entry and Security

Bonita Bay’s main entrance on US 41 is gated, and the BBCA’s Community Patrol covers the community. Inside, Seaglass’s building access control is a second layer. Law enforcement is the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.

Mail and Package Delivery

Mail and package handling at Seaglass follow the association’s procedures, which are not published. Seasonal owners in particular should ask how packages are received and held while they are away.

Trash and Recycling

In the rest of Bonita Springs, Waste Management has provided single-day weekly curbside collection of trash, recycling and yard waste since April 29, 2024. Condominium towers typically use container service arranged by the association instead, so confirm Seaglass’s current arrangement with the association.

Utilities, Fire and Emergency Service

• Electricity: Florida Power and Light
• Water and sewer: Bonita Springs Utilities, a member-owned not-for-profit utility serving the City of Bonita Springs, Estero and south Lee County (in the 1990s it bought the wastewater plant Bonita Bay’s developer had built)
• Fire and EMS: Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue District, an independent special fire district branded Bonita Springs Fire Rescue
• Building permits: City of Bonita Springs Community Development

Parking and EV Charging

The builder’s release gives each Seaglass residence two protected-access under-building parking spaces, with private enclosed two-car garages available. Florida law (§718.113) lets a condominium owner install an electric vehicle charger for the owner’s own parking space, subject to the association’s reasonable requirements, so ask about the association’s EV approval process if you drive electric.

Internet and Cable

Whether internet and cable television are provided under an association bulk contract is set in the adopted budget. Confirm the current package, and whether residents can add an individual higher-speed plan, during your review period.

BBCA Offices for Community-Wide Issues

For community-wide matters (roads, gates, the Private Beach, parks and paths outside the tower), the Bonita Bay Community Association’s offices are at 3451 Bonita Bay Boulevard, Suite 200, Bonita Springs, FL 34134, and its resident website lists current contacts.

What’s Nearby: Healthcare, Shopping, and Dining

Seaglass’s location in south Bonita Springs puts emergency care, major shopping and dining within a short drive: NCH Bonita’s freestanding emergency department on South Tamiami Trail, NCH North Naples Hospital on Immokalee Road, Lee Health’s Coconut Point emergency department in Estero, Coconut Point and Miromar Outlets, and Southwest Florida International Airport to the north.

Healthcare

• NCH Bonita freestanding emergency department: 24040 S. Tamiami Trail, Bonita Springs, a short drive south on US 41
• NCH North Naples Hospital: 1501 Immokalee Road, Naples, the nearest full-service hospital to the south
• Lee Health Coconut Point: 23450 Via Coconut Point, Estero, a freestanding emergency department and outpatient campus to the north

Bonita Springs also has a concentration of medical offices along US 41 and Bonita Beach Road, so routine care, specialists, lab work and imaging are close. For Seaglass’s buyer demographic, healthcare access is often a deciding factor.

Shopping and Dining

Coconut Point, the open-air lifestyle center in Estero, is the everyday shopping destination for most Bonita Bay residents, and Miromar Outlets further north off Ben Hill Griffin Parkway is the region’s major outlet center. The Promenade at Bonita Bay, along US 41 by the community’s main entrance, adds dining and specialty retail. Inside the gates, Backwater Jacks at the marina is open to all Bonita Bay residents.

Travel and the University

Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) in Fort Myers, north on I-75, serves the major network carriers and seasonal nonstop routes to northern cities, a real quality-of-life factor for owners who split the year. Florida Gulf Coast University, north of Bonita Springs off Ben Hill Griffin Parkway, brings arts performances, athletics and continuing education to the corridor. Travel times vary sharply by season, so plan trips around the January to April traffic peak on US 41 and I-75.

How Does Seaglass Compare With the Other Bonita Bay Towers?

Data updated: September 2026. Seaglass is the most active tower on Bonita Bay Boulevard: 12 closings in the Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull against 8 or fewer everywhere else, a $2,080,000 median just under Tavira at $2,200,000 and Azure at $2,250,000, and the highest median price per square foot of any tower that closed a sale, $695.

If you are seriously considering Seaglass, you are probably also looking at the other towers in the row. The benchmark table uses one yardstick for every tower: the Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull (closed in the 12 months to September 30, 2026), with the county qualified-deed window beside it.

Sources: Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser parcel roll and qualified-sale file, September 2026. County windows differ by tower because each is the first window with 10 or more sales.

Seaglass and Tavira

Tavira, at 4851 Bonita Bay Blvd, is the closest price match with a $2,200,000 MLS median. Tavira (2009) is nine years older, has 90 residences at four per standard floor with two-residence elevator foyers, and its residences are larger (median 3,676 heated square feet against Seaglass’s 2,907). Seaglass is newer, deeper in resales and priced higher per square foot. Buyers choosing between them usually weigh Tavira’s size and privacy against Seaglass’s newer construction and livelier resale market.

Seaglass and Azure

Azure (4931, 2006) shows a $2,250,000 MLS median, close to Tavira’s $2,200,000, on four closings, with a 168-day median on market. It is a smaller building with larger typical residences, and buyers who want a quieter building at a similar price often tour both.

Seaglass and Estancia or Horizons

Estancia (4801, 2002) and Horizons (4731, 2000) trade at medians of roughly $1,340,000 to $1,515,000 across the MLS and county records, so a buyer gets the bay-edge tower lifestyle at a lower price in exchange for older construction. Horizons was designed before the statewide Florida Building Code took effect in 2002.

Seaglass and Vistas

Vistas (4751, 1998) is the oldest tower on the boulevard and the entry point to the row, with a $1,090,000 MLS median. It suits buyers who put price first and are ready to read an older building’s reserve study closely.

Seaglass and Omega

Omega (4991), Seaglass’s neighbor to the north and the newest tower (2022 on the county roll), recorded a $5,225,000 county median over 60 months, including builder-direct sales, and had no MLS closings in the 12 months to September 30, 2026. It is a different price tier; its three active listings in the September 2026 pull ask $3,999,000 to $4,999,000.

Seaglass vs Esperia South: Which Bonita Bay Tower Should You Choose?

Seaglass versus Esperia South comes down to size, age and price: both towers belong to Esperia-Seaglass Condominium Association and sit side by side, but Seaglass (2018) has larger residences and a $2,080,000 MLS median, while Esperia South (2007) has smaller residences, a $925,000 median and far more leasing activity.

Because the two towers share an association and a managing entity, they are the most natural comparison on the boulevard, and buyers often tour both on the same visit. The decision table puts them on one yardstick.

Seaglass vs Esperia South Decision Table

Sources: Florida DBPR condominium register; Lee County Property Appraiser roll and qualified-sale file, September 2026; Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026; FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, September 2026; Florida Division of Corporations.

Who Should Choose Seaglass, and Who Should Choose Esperia South?

Choose Seaglass if you want the newer building, residences of about 2,700 to 3,200 square feet on the standard floors with penthouse options above 4,300, and a resale market that turns over quickly. Choose Esperia South if you want the same bay edge and the same association at well under half the median price, and you are comfortable with an older building and smaller floor plans, or if you want a tower where seasonal leasing is more common. Sellers in either tower can start with a free home valuation or call Jesse at (239) 898-6072; buyers can call Marc at (239) 287-5873 or read how we represent buyers.

Why Buy in Seaglass: Honest Pros and Cons

Seaglass’s strengths are its 2018 construction, the deepest resale market of any Bonita Bay tower, open bay and interior views from a site set well apart from its neighbors, and an amenity complex in the building. Its trade-offs are unpublished association fees, a shared association with Esperia South that buyers need to read closely, and prices that vary sharply by floor.

We do not write marketing copy. As Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, we would rather you make the right decision than the fast one.

The Pros

The deepest resale market on the boulevard. Twelve qualified deeds in the last 12 months and 12 MLS closings in the 12 months to September 30, 2026, more than any other Bonita Bay tower, give buyers real choice and sellers a buyer pool that knows the address.

Newer construction. Seaglass was completed in 2018 on 800 pilings under a recent edition of the Florida Building Code, and its first milestone inspection is not due until 2043 at the earliest.

Floor plans with room to live. Standard residences of 2,725 to 3,234 heated square feet on the county roll, ten-foot ceilings in the builder’s specification, and penthouse levels above 4,300 square feet.

An amenity complex in the building. A resort-style walk-in pool and spa, fitness with men’s and women’s spas, a theater, guest suites and a screened cabana with a bar and grill, per the builder’s record.

The Bonita Bay package without a Club membership. The Private Beach, three waterside parks, 12 miles of paths and more than 30 resident clubs come with ownership.

A fixed supply. The tower row is complete, so every Seaglass sale replaces an existing owner rather than competing with new construction.

The Cons

The fees are not published. Neither the Seaglass association nor the BBCA publishes its assessment; the estoppel and the adopted budget are the only reliable figures.

A shared association. Seaglass shares Esperia-Seaglass Condominium Association with Esperia South, an older and smaller-unit building, so a buyer should read how the budget, reserves and shared amenities are allocated between the two.

Price varies sharply by floor. In the last 12 months, recorded prices ran from $1,550,000 on the lower floors to $4,950,000 at the penthouse level, so a building median is a poor guide for any single residence.

Recent prices have eased. The county’s calendar-year medians have come down from $3,000,000 in 2022 to $1,920,000 for 2026 so far; buyers benefit, and sellers need to price against 2026 sales.

It is not an income property. One Seaglass lease appears in the MLS for the 12 months to September 30, 2026, and the leasing rules are in documents a buyer must read before assuming any rental plan.

Zone AE and Zone A. Like every tower on the boulevard, Seaglass sits in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area and in Evacuation Zone A.

Thinking of Selling Your Seaglass Home? List With the #1 Team in Southwest Florida Since 2012

Selling a Seaglass home well means pricing it against the 12 qualified Seaglass sales of the last 12 months on the same stack and nearest floor, preparing both estoppels and the condominium documents before listing, and marketing the view and the floor plan to buyers who often decide from photographs before they fly in.

If you’re searching for a Seaglass listing agent, or thinking, ‘I need someone to sell my Seaglass home…’, you are in the right place. Seaglass is a building where the specifics decide the price: which stack, which floor, which exposure, how the residence was finished, and what the association documents show. We tracked every qualified Seaglass deed in the Lee County file, and we price from those sales, not from a portal estimate or the building median.

Recent Seaglass Sold Record

In the last 12 months Seaglass has seen 12 resales in the Lee County qualified-deed record, totaling $28,380,000, from $1,550,000 to $4,950,000 with a median of $2,080,000 and a mean of $706 per heated square foot. The Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull shows 12 closings in the 12 months to September 30, 2026 with a median of 61 days on market and a median sale-to-list ratio of 93.7% across the 11 closings marketed through the MLS.

What Makes Selling in Seaglass Different

• Two estoppels, one association for two towers. A Seaglass sale needs an estoppel certificate from Esperia-Seaglass Condominium Association and one from the Bonita Bay Community Association, and buyers read how the shared association allocates costs between Seaglass and Esperia South.
• Condominium documents up front. Under §718.503 the seller provides the Declaration, bylaws, rules, budget and financial statements, and buyers now expect the SIRS as well. Having them ready keeps the review period from stalling the sale.
• Stack and floor pricing. The 01 and 06 stacks carry 3,234 heated square feet, the 03 and 04 stacks 2,907 and the 02 and 05 stacks 2,725, and recorded prices per square foot rise with height.
• Open house rules. The BBCA’s Open House Guidelines require a listing agreement and a request emailed to the BBCA with at least 72 hours’ notice, set open house hours, and prohibit SOLD signs.
• Bonita Bay Club membership is separate. It does not pass with the deed, and the Club sets its own terms for departing and new members.

Buyers can call Marc at (239) 287-5873 or read how we represent buyers.

How long will it take to sell my Seaglass home?

A correctly priced Seaglass home has sold in about two months at the median: the Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull shows a median of 61 days on market for 12 Seaglass closings, while the six standing listings had a median of 166 days. Add the condominium document review and the closing period, and a listing launched before season commonly closes in season.

Do I need anything from the Seaglass association before listing?

Yes. Before listing, request the current Declaration, bylaws, Rules and Regulations, adopted budget, recent financial statements and the SIRS from Esperia-Seaglass Condominium Association, and plan for the estoppel certificates from both the association and the BBCA. Having these ready before a buyer asks keeps the condominium review period short and the contract on schedule.

Can I sell my Seaglass home with a tenant in place?

A Seaglass home can be sold with a tenant in place, and because leasing at Seaglass is rare and seasonal, a sale usually waits for the lease to end. Showings must follow the lease terms, and a buyer takes the home subject to any lease that runs past closing, so align the listing calendar with the lease and the association’s leasing rules.

How does Bonita Bay Club membership work when I sell my Seaglass home?

Bonita Bay Club membership is separate from a Seaglass home and does not pass with the deed. How a departing member’s membership is handled, and what a new member pays, are set by the Club’s membership office, which does not publish its schedule online. Get the Club’s current terms in writing before listing so buyers hear an accurate answer.

When is the best time of year to list a Seaglass home?

October through December is usually the best time to list a Seaglass home, because it puts the listing in front of the seasonal buyers who arrive from January through April. Eight of the 12 recorded Seaglass sales since September 2025 closed between March and July 2026, which fits a pattern of buyers touring in winter and closing in spring.

Frequently Asked Questions: Buyer Edition

The buyer questions below are the ones Seaglass buyers ask most often. Every answer draws on this page’s sources: the Lee County parcel and deed records, the Southwest Florida MLS pull of September 30, 2026, the DBPR register, the association filings, the builder’s construction record and the city, county and federal records cited below.

What is Seaglass at Bonita Bay?

Seaglass at Bonita Bay is a 120-residence high-rise condominium tower at 4971 Bonita Bay Blvd in Bonita Springs, Florida, completed in 2018 by The Ronto Group. It is one of eight towers on the Estero Bay edge of Bonita Bay, a 2,400-acre gated master-planned community, and it records more resales than any other tower on the boulevard.

What is the address of Seaglass at Bonita Bay?

Seaglass is at 4971 Bonita Bay Blvd, Bonita Springs, FL 34134, near the north end of the tower row between Esperia South (4951) and Omega (4991). Residence numbers follow the floor and stack, so residence 1803 is on the 18th floor in the 03 stack.

How many residences are in Seaglass, and how tall is it?

Seaglass has 120 residences, per the Florida DBPR condominium register (the county roll shows 119 parcels because residences 2303 and 2304 are combined). The CTBUH Skyscraper Center records it at 99.4 meters (326 feet) and 26 floors; the floors are numbered to 27 with no 13th floor.

Which floors have residences at Seaglass?

Residences run from floor 3 to floor 27. Floors 3 to 19 hold six residences each, floors 20 to 22 hold four, floor 23 holds three parcels including the combined 2303 and 2304, and floors 24 to 27 hold two penthouse residences each, according to the unit numbers on the Lee County roll.

What floor plans are available at Seaglass?

Standard Seaglass residences come in three sizes on the county roll: 3,234 heated square feet in the 01 and 06 stacks, 2,907 in the 03 and 04 stacks and 2,725 in the 02 and 05 stacks, mostly three bedrooms. Upper floors add residences of about 4,337 square feet, and the penthouse levels reach 4,533 and 4,635.

Who developed Seaglass?

The Ronto Group, a Naples developer, built Seaglass, with BCBE Construction and Stiles Construction as the construction team. Vertical construction began on April 4, 2016, and the finished condominium was recorded with the state on October 25, 2018. The builder’s own published record names Ronto as the developer.

When was Seaglass built?

Seaglass was built in 2018. The Lee County Property Appraiser gives every residence a year built of 2018, the DBPR register records the condominium on October 25, 2018, and the first qualified Seaglass deeds were recorded in November 2018. It is the second-newest tower on the boulevard, after Omega.

Is Seaglass concrete construction?

Seaglass is a concrete high-rise on 800 pilings, with foundation elements as deep as 13 to 15 feet below grade, according to the builder’s construction updates. It was designed in the mid-2010s under a recent edition of the Florida Building Code, well after the statewide code took effect in 2002.

Which association governs Seaglass?

Seaglass is governed by Esperia-Seaglass Condominium Association, Inc., Florida Division of Corporations document N05000002334, which also governs Esperia South next door. The DBPR register lists Seaglass as condominium PR76088 under managing entity MA66309, shared with Esperia South, and every owner is also a member of the Bonita Bay Community Association.

What is the HOA fee at Seaglass?

The Seaglass condominium assessment is not published by Esperia-Seaglass Condominium Association, and the BBCA does not publish its master assessment either. The current figures appear on the two estoppel certificates, and the adopted budget comes with the condominium documents the seller provides. Fees at other towers are not a guide to the Seaglass assessment.

What does the Seaglass HOA fee not cover?

A Seaglass assessment does not cover each residence’s electricity from Florida Power and Light, the owner’s HO-6 interior and contents policy, flood coverage for contents, Bonita Bay Club membership or marina slips and storage. Which services the assessment does bundle, such as cable, internet, water or sewer, is set out in the association’s adopted budget.

Does Bonita Bay have a CDD?

No. Bonita Bay has no community development district and no special taxing district of its own, and Lee County’s official list of special districts names none. A Seaglass tax bill carries no CDD line arising from Bonita Bay; owners pay private association assessments to the Seaglass association and the BBCA instead.

Is Bonita Bay Club membership included with Seaglass ownership?

No. The Bonita Bay Club is a separate, member-owned private club, and membership is optional and not included with a Seaglass purchase. The Club does not publish initiation fees or dues on its public website; its membership office provides the current schedule. Seaglass owners use the Private Beach, parks and paths without joining.

What comes with Bonita Bay property ownership without the Club?

Every Seaglass owner is automatically a member of the Bonita Bay Community Association, which provides the gated entries and Community Patrol, three waterside parks, 12 miles of paths, more than 30 resident clubs, Design Review and the Private Beach with its shuttle. Backwater Jacks at the marina is also open to all residents.

Is the Private Beach included with owning at Seaglass?

Yes. The Private Beach is owned and run by the Bonita Bay Community Association, so every Seaglass owner can use it without joining the Club. It sits on Little Hickory Island off Hickory Boulevard, outside the gates, with a year-round shuttle, and was rebuilt in concrete with breakaway walls after Hurricane Ian destroyed it.

What amenities are in the Seaglass building?

The builder’s 2016 record describes an amenity complex with a resort-style walk-in pool and spa, a fitness facility with men’s and women’s spas including steam and massage rooms, a theater, guest suites, card and club rooms, and a covered, screened cabana with a bar and grill. Which spaces are shared with Esperia South is set in the Declaration.

Are there guest suites for visitors at Seaglass?

Yes. The amenity complex includes guest suites, according to the builder’s July 2016 construction update. Booking rules and nightly rates are set by the association, so ask for the current schedule with the condominium documents during your review period.

How much parking comes with a Seaglass residence?

The Ronto Group’s release stated that each Seaglass residence comes with two protected-access under-building parking spaces and that private enclosed two-car garages were available. Which spaces or garage belong to a specific residence is recorded in the condominium documents, so confirm it before you write an offer.

What FEMA flood zone is Seaglass in?

Seaglass’s address point returns FEMA Zone AE with a 10-foot base flood elevation on FIRM panel 12071C0652G, effective November 17, 2022. In our September 2026 queries, five of seven points around the site returned AE and two points on the site west of the street returned shaded Zone X. Confirm the building’s zone with the association’s elevation certificate.

Do I need flood insurance at Seaglass?

A lender will require flood coverage for a federally backed mortgage on a structure in Zone AE, and the association’s master flood policy covers the building structure. Owners insure contents and interior improvements on their own policy. Cash buyers are not legally required to carry contents flood coverage, but it is strongly advisable on the bay edge.

What hurricane evacuation zone is Seaglass in?

Seaglass is in Lee County Evacuation Zone A, the first zone ordered to evacuate and often ordered for any named storm approaching from the Gulf. Every Bonita Bay point tested on the county’s evacuation layer returns Zone A, so the zone is the same for every tower on the boulevard.

Was Seaglass damaged by Hurricane Ian?

No public primary source documents damage to Seaglass itself from Hurricane Ian in 2022. Documented Bonita Bay damage fell on shared assets: the BBCA Private Beach was destroyed and rebuilt, and the Club’s cart barn flooded. Ask the association, in writing, for its account of any building damage, claims and assessments.

Does Bonita Springs get a flood insurance discount?

Yes. The City of Bonita Springs holds Community Rating System Class 5, a 25% discount on NFIP flood policies, and FEMA confirmed on November 21, 2024 that the City keeps its rating after the post-Ian review. The discount applies to NFIP policies for Seaglass owners and for the association.

Are pets allowed at Seaglass?

Seaglass pet rules are set by the Declaration of Condominium and the association’s Rules and Regulations, which are not posted publicly, and the master Bonita Bay Declaration contains no pet rules. Confirm the number, size and registration rules in the condominium documents before writing an offer. Documented assistance animals are protected separately under fair housing law.

What are the rental restrictions at Seaglass?

Seaglass leasing rules are set in the recorded Declaration of Condominium (Instrument 2018000253157) and the association’s rules, which are not posted publicly. Confirm the minimum lease term, any cap on leases and the tenant approval process in those documents. The master Bonita Bay Declaration sets no minimum lease term of its own.

Can I rent my Seaglass residence on Airbnb or VRBO?

Plan on no. Nightly and weekly vacation rentals are not how Seaglass residences are used: the September 2026 MLS pull shows one Seaglass lease in the 12 months to September 30, 2026, at a seasonal rate. The minimum lease term is in the Declaration of Condominium, and a buyer who wants any short-term use should confirm it there first.

Is Seaglass a good investment property?

Seaglass is a better lifestyle purchase than a rental investment. One lease in the MLS for the 12 months to September 30, 2026 gives little income history, and carrying costs run all year. Where Seaglass does well is resale depth: 12 qualified deeds in the last 12 months, more than any other Bonita Bay tower, which supports liquidity when an owner sells.

Is Seaglass a 55+ community?

Seaglass is not identified as a 55+ community in the DBPR register or the association’s Division of Corporations file, and we found no public record describing it as housing for older persons. Many owners are empty-nesters and retirees, but that describes the buyer pool, not a rule; confirm occupancy provisions in the Declaration.

What schools serve Seaglass?

Lee County uses residential choice with proximity zones, so Seaglass families rank schools rather than being placed in one. Under the most recent published plan, elementary choices are in Proximity Zone Q, middle schools in Zone GG, and high schools in the South zone; nearby options include Spring Creek Elementary, Bonita Springs Middle and Bonita Springs High.

How does the SIRS requirement affect Seaglass buyers?

Florida requires every condominium building of three or more stories to have a Structural Integrity Reserve Study, updated every 10 years, and reserves for the listed structural components can no longer be waived. Seaglass is subject to it despite its age. Request the completed SIRS, the budget and the reserve schedule before closing.

When does Seaglass need its milestone inspection?

Under §553.899, the first milestone inspection is due by December 31 of the year the building turns 30, which points to 2048 for Seaglass, or 2043 if the City of Bonita Springs applies the 25-year trigger allowed near salt water. Either date leaves Seaglass decades ahead of the 1998 to 2002 towers on the boulevard.

Does buying at Seaglass need association approval?

Condominium purchases in Florida commonly involve an association application or approval set by the Declaration and rules. The master Bonita Bay Community Association makes every owner a member automatically, but the Seaglass association controls its own process, so confirm the current application requirements and timing in the condominium documents when you go under contract.

Which way should a Seaglass residence face?

West-facing Seaglass residences look across Estero Bay, a state aquatic preserve, toward the barrier islands and the Gulf horizon, and generally lead on price. East-facing residences look over Bonita Bay’s fairways, lakes and preserve and are the value choice. Corner residences in the 01 and 06 stacks add a side view along the bay edge.

Does the floor number matter at Seaglass?

Yes. In the last 12 months, recorded sales on floors 3 to 5 ran from $1,550,000 to $1,920,000, sales on floors 8 to 20 ran from $1,960,000 to $2,250,000, and the two penthouse-level sales recorded $4,100,000 and $4,950,000. Because the 13th floor is skipped, a residence numbered in the 20s sits one floor lower than its number suggests.

What marina access do Seaglass owners have?

Seaglass owners can lease a wet slip or dry storage at the Bonita Bay Marina on the Imperial River, which has 98 wet slips and 326 dry storage spaces for boats up to 36 feet, subject to availability. Slips are not included with the purchase, and the marina’s permitting agreement limits draft to 36 inches.

What is the nearest emergency room to Seaglass?

The nearest emergency departments are NCH Bonita’s freestanding emergency department at 24040 S. Tamiami Trail in Bonita Springs and Lee Health’s Coconut Point emergency department at 23450 Via Coconut Point in Estero. The nearest full-service hospital to the south is NCH North Naples Hospital at 1501 Immokalee Road.

How far is Seaglass from Southwest Florida International Airport?

Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) is north of Bonita Springs in Fort Myers, reached by I-75, and it is the main airport for Bonita Bay owners, with network carriers and seasonal nonstops to northern cities. Travel time varies sharply with season, so we do not publish a single minute figure.

Frequently Asked Questions: Seller Edition

The seller questions below come from Seaglass owners weighing a sale, and many echo how sellers phrase them in search. Every answer draws only on this page’s sources: the Lee County deed and parcel records, the Southwest Florida MLS pull of September 30, 2026, the DBPR register, the association filings and the city, county and federal records cited below.

What is my Seaglass condo worth in today’s market?

A Seaglass condo is worth what the 2025 and 2026 deed record supports for its stack, floor and condition. The 12 qualified Seaglass sales since September 2025 ran from $1,550,000 to $4,950,000, with a median of $2,080,000 and a mean of $706 per heated square foot. A valuation starts from the closest same-stack sale, not the building median.

How many Seaglass homes sold in the last 12 months?

Twelve Seaglass homes sold in the 12 months since September 2025, according to the Lee County qualified-sale file dated September 2026: residences 1803, 803, 2303 and 2304 combined, 502, 1605, 1603, 402, 2604, 303, 401, 2004 and 503, recorded between September 29, 2025 and July 13, 2026. All 12 were resales, and they totaled $28,380,000.

Why are 2026 Seaglass prices lower than 2022 prices?

Seaglass’s recorded calendar-year median fell from $3,000,000 on 12 qualified sales in 2022 to $1,920,000 on nine sales in 2026 through July. The deed file records what buyers paid, not why, and part of any yearly median is the mix of floors that sold. For a seller, the practical point is that 2026 same-stack sales, not 2022 comparables, set today’s price.

Which recent sales should set the price of my Seaglass home?

The recent sales that should set your price are the ones in your stack and nearest your floor. In the last 12 months, 2,907-square-foot residences in the 03 stack sold for $1,550,000 and $1,920,000 on floors 3 and 5 and $2,200,000 to $2,250,000 on floors 8 to 18, and 2,725-square-foot residences in the 02 and 05 stacks sold for $1,550,000 to $1,960,000.

How long will my Seaglass home take to sell?

Plan on about two months of marketing for a correctly priced Seaglass home: the Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull shows a median of 61 days on market across 12 Seaglass closings. The six listings standing on September 30 had a median of 166 days, which shows what happens when the asking price runs ahead of the recorded sales on the same stack.

What sale-to-list ratio do Seaglass homes achieve?

The 11 Seaglass closings marketed through the MLS had a median sale-to-list ratio of 93.7% in the Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull, for the 12 months to September 30, 2026. A twelfth closing was entered in the MLS after the sale and is left out of the ratio. A 93.7% median means buyers negotiate in this building, so a list price anchored to same-stack deeds usually nets more than a high opening ask that later needs reductions.

Who is buying Seaglass homes right now?

Seaglass buyers are mostly owner-occupants and seasonal owners, not investors: the September 2026 MLS pull shows one Seaglass lease in the 12 months to September 30, 2026. Typical buyers are couples leaving a large single-family home, often inside Bonita Bay, and buyers from older towers who want 2018 construction, ten-foot ceilings and a lock-and-leave residence behind the Bonita Bay gates.

How does Seaglass compete with Esperia South for buyers?

Seaglass and Esperia South share Esperia-Seaglass Condominium Association but sell to different budgets. In the September 2026 MLS pull, Seaglass had 12 closings at a $2,080,000 median and $695 a square foot, against Esperia South’s eight closings at $925,000 and $440 a square foot. A Seaglass seller competes on newer construction and larger floor plans, not on price.

How does Seaglass compete with Tavira and Omega?

Seaglass sits between its neighbors on price. Tavira closed at a $2,200,000 MLS median on larger residences in a 2009 building, while Omega, the 2022 tower next door, recorded a $5,225,000 county median over 60 months and had no MLS closings in the 12 months to September 30, 2026. A Seaglass seller presents 2018 construction and a deeper resale record against both.

Does my Seaglass stack change what my home sells for?

Your Seaglass stack changes value because each stack carries a different heated area on the county roll: 3,234 square feet in the 01 and 06 stacks, 2,907 in the 03 and 04 stacks and 2,725 in the 02 and 05 stacks on the standard floors. The 01 and 06 corner stacks combine two exposures, so we price against sales in the same stack first.

Does the floor number matter when I sell at Seaglass?

Floor number matters a great deal at Seaglass. In the last 12 months, sales on floors 3 to 5 recorded $526 to $660 per heated square foot, while sales on floors 8 to 18 recorded $719 to $774, and the two penthouse-level sales recorded $851 and $904. Because the 13th floor is skipped, a residence numbered in the 20s sits one floor lower than its number suggests.

How do I price a Seaglass penthouse?

A Seaglass penthouse is priced against the few upper-level sales, not the building median. In the last 12 months, residence 2604 (4,533 heated square feet) recorded $4,100,000 and the combined 2303 and 2304 (5,816 square feet) recorded $4,950,000. With so few comparables, the 2022 to 2025 upper-level deeds and the finish level matter more than any average.

Can I trust an online estimate for my Seaglass home?

An online estimate for a Seaglass home is a weak guide, because automated models average across few sales and cannot see floor, stack, exposure or finish. With 12 recorded Seaglass sales in the last 12 months spanning $1,550,000 to $4,950,000, an estimate can land far from what a specific residence will bring. A valuation built on same-stack deeds is far more reliable.

When is the best month to list a Seaglass home?

October through December is usually the best time to list a Seaglass home, because it puts the listing in front of the seasonal buyers who arrive for January through April. Eight of the 12 recorded Seaglass sales since September 2025 closed between March and July 2026, which fits a pattern of buyers touring in winter and closing in spring.

Do Seaglass homes sell in the summer?

Seaglass homes do sell outside season, but with fewer showings. The 2025 deed record includes closings in June, July and August, and the most recent 2026 sale recorded on July 13. A summer listing works best for a seller who is flexible on timing, prices against the latest same-stack sale and has the condominium documents ready so an off-season buyer can move quickly.

What documents will a Seaglass buyer ask for first?

A Seaglass buyer asks first for the Declaration of Condominium (Lee County Instrument 2018000253157), the bylaws and Rules and Regulations of Esperia-Seaglass Condominium Association, the current budget, the financial statements and the Structural Integrity Reserve Study, plus the BBCA’s §720.401 disclosure summary. Assembling these before listing keeps the condominium review period from stalling the sale.

Does my Seaglass buyer need association approval?

A Seaglass buyer typically completes any application the condominium documents require before closing. The master Bonita Bay Community Association makes every owner a member automatically, but Esperia-Seaglass Condominium Association controls its own process, so a seller should confirm the current application requirements and timing in the association documents when the listing is signed.

What is an estoppel certificate, and why does it matter when I sell at Seaglass?

An estoppel certificate is the association’s signed statement of what is owed on a residence at closing. A Seaglass sale needs two: one from Esperia-Seaglass Condominium Association and one from the Bonita Bay Community Association, neither of which publishes its assessment. The estoppels, not any published figure, set the fees and any open special assessments at closing.

Is there a BBCA resale charge when I sell my Seaglass home?

A resale charge at the Bonita Bay Community Association level is paid by the buyer at closing, but the published sources describe it differently and no public BBCA document states the current figure. The BBCA estoppel certificate issued for your sale is the only reliable statement of the amount, so wait for the estoppel before quoting a number to a buyer.

How does the shared Esperia-Seaglass association affect my sale?

Buyers read the shared association closely, because Esperia-Seaglass Condominium Association governs two separate condominiums, Seaglass (DBPR PR76088) and Esperia South (PR71382). A seller should have the adopted budget and reserve schedule ready, showing how Seaglass’s own building costs and reserves are separated from Esperia South’s and how shared amenity costs are allocated between the towers.

Do I need to disclose the flood zone when I sell my Seaglass home?

Yes. Seaglass’s address point sits in FEMA Zone AE with a 10-foot base flood elevation on panel 12071C0652G, effective November 17, 2022, and buyers and lenders will check it. Presenting the zone with the building’s 2018 construction, the association’s master flood policy and the City’s CRS Class 5 discount answers the question before it becomes an objection.

How does Evacuation Zone A affect a Seaglass sale?

Evacuation Zone A affects a Seaglass sale mainly through buyer questions, not price rules. Every Bonita Bay point tested on Lee County’s evacuation layer returns Zone A, so buyers comparing towers on the boulevard face the same zone. Seasonal buyers want to know the building’s storm procedures, so having the association’s hurricane preparation summary ready shortens the conversation.

Will the SIRS affect the price of my Seaglass home?

The SIRS can affect a Seaglass sale because Florida now requires structural reserves to be funded without waiver, and buyers read the study to judge future assessments. For a 2018 building, a current SIRS should show long remaining lives on major components, which supports the price. Obtain the completed study before listing so you know what buyers will see.

When does Seaglass need its milestone inspection, and does it matter to buyers?

Seaglass’s milestone inspection is decades away, which helps a seller. Under §553.899 the first inspection is due by December 31 of the year the building turns 30, which points to 2048 for a 2018 building, or 2043 if the City requires the 25-year trigger. Buyers comparing Seaglass with the 1998 to 2002 towers on the boulevard often weigh that timing.

Does Bonita Bay Club membership transfer when I sell my Seaglass home?

Bonita Bay Club membership is separate from a Seaglass home and does not pass with the deed. How a departing member’s membership is handled, and what a new member pays, are set by the Club’s membership office, which does not publish its schedule online. Get the Club’s current terms in writing before listing so buyers hear an accurate answer.

Does the Private Beach add value to a Seaglass sale?

The BBCA Private Beach adds real value because every Seaglass owner can use it without joining the Club: it is a master association amenity on Little Hickory Island with a year-round shuttle, rebuilt in concrete with breakaway walls after Hurricane Ian destroyed it in 2022. Buyers from other tower communities often do not realize the beach comes with ownership.

Do the Seaglass garages and parking help my sale?

Parking is a selling point at Seaglass because the builder delivered two protected-access under-building spaces with each residence and offered private enclosed two-car garages. If your residence carries a private garage, document it from the condominium records and feature it in the listing, since buyers comparing towers rarely find enclosed garages elsewhere on the boulevard.

Should I renovate before selling my Seaglass home?

Most Seaglass sellers do better with targeted updates than a full renovation, because a renovation needs association approval and City of Bonita Springs permits and adds months before listing. Seaglass residences were delivered in 2018 with designer finishes, so fresh neutral paint, repaired finishes, serviced air conditioning and a staged terrace usually return more than a new kitchen.

Should I sell my Seaglass home furnished?

Selling a Seaglass home furnished can help when the furnishings suit the residence and the buyer is a seasonal owner who wants to move in for the winter. List furnishings on a separate inventory so the appraisal and the contract price stay clear, and offer them as an option, since many Seaglass buyers are owner-occupants who bring their own pieces.

Should I stage my Seaglass home?

Staging helps a Seaglass home because buyers at this price are buying a way of living: a set dining table on the terrace, clear sight lines to Estero Bay and uncluttered rooms make the ten-foot ceilings and the view obvious in photographs. Vacant residences in a tower tend to photograph smaller than they are, and online photos decide which homes seasonal buyers tour.

What are the open house rules for a Seaglass listing?

The BBCA’s Open House Guidelines set the rules for any Bonita Bay open house, including a Seaglass listing: hours of Monday to Saturday 9 to 5 and Sunday 1 to 4, a listing agreement and request emailed to the BBCA with at least 72 hours’ notice, the BBCA sign standard, and no SOLD signs. Building access for visitors follows the association’s rules.

Can I sell my Seaglass home while it is leased?

A Seaglass home can be sold while it is leased, and because leasing at Seaglass is rare and usually seasonal, a sale often waits for the lease to end. Showings must follow the lease terms, and a buyer takes the home subject to any lease that runs past closing, so align the listing with the lease calendar and the association’s leasing rules.

Can I sell my Seaglass home while living out of state?

Yes. Many Seaglass sellers live out of state for part or all of the year, and a sale can run remotely: documents can be signed electronically or with a mobile notary, and closing can be handled by mail. A seller should name a local contact for the association, arrange building access for showings, and keep the residence insured and maintained while it is marketed.

Why list a Seaglass home with McGreevy and Comisar?

McGreevy and Comisar tracked every qualified Seaglass deed, so a Seaglass listing is priced from same-stack sales and marketed on the building’s real strengths: 2018 construction, the view, the amenity complex and the deepest resale record on the boulevard. Jesse and Marc are Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008 and lead the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012.
