The Villa Mar market record, 12 months to September 25, 2026

With fewer than 10 sales we print the count and the range, not a median. The first window with 10 or more sales is 36 months: 65 sales at a $521,250 median, from $349,000 to $727,510, of which 58 were the developer's first sales.

In the last 12 months we tracked 5 Villa Mar resales in the Lee County record, four ground-floor units from $349,000 to $390,000 and one upstairs unit at $435,000, every one below the developer's 2023 to 2024 price range for the same floor. The full breakdown is in the market section below.

For Villa Mar sellers

A Villa Mar sale is priced by floor first, because the 47 ground-floor 2-bedroom units and the 47 upstairs 3-bedroom units recorded different prices from the developer and in resale, and then against the 2026 resales, which closed below the developer's prices. Buyers and their lenders will ask for the budget, the estoppel certificate, the master land condominium's charge and the master insurance policy, so a well-prepared listing has those answers ready on day one. For luxury Villa Mar sellers we add premium marketing: cinematic video, drone, professional photography, a qualified-buyer database, and discretion with off-market capability when a sale needs to stay private.

For Villa Mar buyers

Buyers here are choosing a floor before a building: a ground-floor 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath unit of about 1,506 to 1,673 square feet of county heated area, or an upstairs 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath unit of about 1,576 to 1,744, each with a private garage. Then the record: no special flood hazard area on FEMA's map, but Lee County evacuation zone A; two association layers; no CDD; and shops about a mile away.

★★★★★ "Marc renewed my faith in the real estate business. Previously I had worked with three other real estate agents with no luck, they just were not listening to what was important to me. Marc ascertained what the critical aspects of my search were; this in my opinion is real estate 101, listen to your customers needs. Due to this fact within weeks we were able to find the perfect house that was suited for my husband and I.

What Is Villa Mar in Bonita Springs, and Where Is It?

Villa Mar at Bonita Beach is a condominium of 94 units in 16 two-story buildings on Coco Cay Circle in Bonita Springs, ZIP 34135, just east of US 41 beside Highland Woods. It was finished in 2023 and 2024, and despite its name it sits about 1.9 miles north of Bonita Beach Road and about 5 miles by road from Bonita Beach Park.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser roll dated October 11, 2026; Lee County road and parcel layers read October 12 and 17, 2026).

The county roll names Villa Mar at Bonita Beach in 96 legal descriptions: 94 condominium units and two common-element records, one of them holding the clubhouse and pool. Every unit is on Coco Cay Circle, in tax district 017, and under the same recorded declaration.

Not on the beach

"At Bonita Beach" is part of the recorded legal name, and it describes no location on the record. Villa Mar is inland, about 4.8 to 4.9 miles and 10 to 11 minutes by road from Bonita Beach Park on the OSRM router's free-flow estimate, and about 1.9 miles north of Bonita Beach Road.

Getting in and out

Coco Cay Circle and North Bay Village Drive are private roads on the Lee County layer, connecting to North Bay Village Parkway and Limetree Park Drive. US 41, the Tamiami Trail, an FDOT arterial posted at 50 mph, is about 0.4 mile away, and West Terry Street about 0.7 mile. I-75 Exit 116 is about 6.4 to 6.5 miles and 13 minutes by road.

What sits around Villa Mar

Highland Woods, a golf community with its own private club, is about 0.09 mile away on the county record, and the Lime Tree Park area about 0.10 mile. Bonita Bay begins about a third of a mile away, Imperial Harbor about 0.44 mile and Bonita Bay Plaza about half a mile. The commercial parcels of North Bay Village share Villa Mar's master land condominium. If you are weighing more than one community, our guide to the best real estate agents in Bonita Springs explains how we work across the city.

Name traps

North Bay Village is also the name of a city in Miami-Dade County, which has nothing to do with this land condominium. Villa Del Mar on Fort Myers Beach, Villas Casa Del Mar in Fort Myers and Villa Maria in Cape Coral are other places. Every figure on this page counts only the 96 roll records whose legal description begins "Villa Mar at Bonita Beach".

Is Villa Mar in the City of Bonita Springs or Unincorporated Lee County?

Villa Mar is inside the City of Bonita Springs. The Lee County Property Appraiser codes all 96 Villa Mar records to the City and to tax district 017, and the county's City limit layer returned the City of Bonita Springs at every point we tested, so City zoning, City permits and City millage apply.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser parcel layer and roll; Lee County GIS layers read October 12, 2026).

The roll's municipal code is B on every record and the tax district 017, "City of Bonita Springs / Bonita Springs Fire". The units carry the City's zoning area code, and the two common-element records also carry the county's old planned development name.

The zoning history

Lee County's planned development layer returns "Sandpiper Center CPD", a commercial planned development first approved by the county in 1995 on 23.39 acres, which is why a residential condominium sits on a commercial zoning record: the land is a parcel of a commercial land condominium. The City, incorporated in 1999, now administers zoning. The specific City action that allowed 94 units on Parcel 2, rather than the 112 planned in 2005, was not in any City record we could search.

What City jurisdiction means

City zoning and permits, City floodplain administration under the City's own FEMA community number, and the City's millage, 0.8411 mills for 2026. The Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue District serves Villa Mar from the Station 25 response zone.

Who Developed Villa Mar, and What Is the North Bay Village Land Condominium?

Bonita Beach Village, LLC developed Villa Mar in Bonita Springs; its recorded declaration of April 25, 2023 makes Villa Mar a secondary condominium on Parcel 2 of the North Bay Village of Bonita Springs Land Condominium, a commercial land condominium declared in 2005 whose other parcels hold the North Bay Village retail development.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Clerk recorded documents read October 17, 2026; Florida Division of Corporations).

No developer marketing page for Villa Mar survives online, and the general contractor is not named in any record we could read, so the history rests on the recorded documents.

The developer

Bonita Beach Village, LLC is a Florida company filed April 4, 2019 with a Boca Raton office. Its declaration was executed April 21, 2023 and recorded April 25, 2023, and opens with the company declaring the condominium. The company's last direct sale on the county record was March 31, 2025.

A condominium inside a land condominium

Section 3.6 of the declaration says Villa Mar "is a 'Secondary Condominium' pursuant to the Act", established on part of "Condominium Parcel 2" in the master. The master is the North Bay Village of Bonita Springs Land Condominium, "a Commercial Land Condominium", declared in May 2005. Its Parcels 1 and 1A are "the commercial retail development" called North Bay Village; Parcel 2 was reserved for homes, first planned as four buildings of 28 units, 112 in all. Villa Mar is what was built there: 94 units in 16 two-story buildings.

Who holds the votes in the master

The 2005 master declaration gives Parcels 1 and 1A 140 votes, 63.64 percent, and Parcel 2 80 votes, 36.36 percent. Villa Mar's association casts all 80 as a block through one representative. By the 2005 text, each parcel pays the same share of the master's common expenses as its share of votes, so Parcel 2 carries 36.36 percent through Villa Mar's budget; later amendments to the master were not all read, so we state the 2005 figure.

The name

Villa Mar means "sea house" in Spanish. No recorded or developer document explains the choice, and the community is inland.

What Do Villa Mar Condos Sell For?

Villa Mar condos in Bonita Springs recorded 5 resales in the 12 months to September 25, 2026, from $349,000 to $435,000. The first window with 10 or more sales is 36 months: 65 sales at a $521,250 median, from $349,000 to $727,510, or $327.36 per square foot of county heated area, but 58 of those were the developer's first sales.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County recorded sales through September 25, 2026; county roll dated October 11, 2026).

Every figure here comes from one tool run on the Lee County roll and sale file, qualified arm's-length sales only, anchored to September 25, 2026. The tool matched all 96 Villa Mar records. Because Villa Mar is new, the record is mostly the developer selling each unit once; the resale record began in April 2024.

What we measured

We pulled every recorded Villa Mar sale in the Lee County record for the 12 months to September 25, 2026, then for 24 and 36 months and every calendar year since the first closing on May 11, 2023, and split the record by floor and by first sale against resale. Groups under 10 sales get counts and ranges, never a median.

What the county record cannot tell you

Days on market, list prices, concessions and how many units are for sale today are MLS fields: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-10-10). The roll's just value is a tax figure, not a market value.

Buying or Selling in Villa Mar? Start With a Conversation

Every Villa Mar price question starts with the floor and the resale record, not the developer's 2023 prices. If you are selling, read our Villa Mar home valuation guide or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072. If you are buying, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and we will set every listing beside the record.

What Are the Villa Mar Floor Plans and Unit Types?

Villa Mar in Bonita Springs has two floors and six recorded unit types. On the county roll every ground-floor unit is 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths at 1,506 to 1,673 square feet of heated area, and every upstairs unit is 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths at 1,576 to 1,744. The declaration labels the plans A to F.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser roll dated October 11, 2026; Declaration of Villa Mar at Bonita Beach read October 17, 2026).

Unit numbers ending in 101 to 104 are ground floor on the roll and 201 to 204 upstairs. The roll codes upstairs units as two stories because each includes its ground-level garage, foyer and stair, which the declaration makes part of the unit.

Ground floor

47 units, 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, from 1,506 to 1,673 square feet of county heated area. The most common sizes on the roll are 1,533 square feet (13 units), 1,673 (12) and 1,520 (10).

Upstairs

47 units, 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, from 1,576 to 1,744 square feet. The most common sizes are 1,576 square feet (14 units), 1,744 (9) and 1,650 (8).

D

E

F

The declaration measures "painted surface to painted surface", a different method from the county's heated area, so the two never match unit for unit. The type letter of each built unit is drawn on the declaration's exhibit sheets, which the recorded text we could read does not list; we print county heated area everywhere else.

Garages, stairs and elevators

Every Villa Mar unit includes a "private enclosed garage" that is part of the unit, served by its own driveway, a limited common element. The declaration also makes any stairs, foyer and "any elevators" serving only one unit part of that unit. Which units have an elevator is not stated in the text we read; ask for the unit's floor plan.

Fees follow size

Villa Mar's common expenses are shared by "approximate adjusted square footage", not equally, so a larger unit pays a larger share of the budget. That is why the developer's 2023 guarantee schedule, shown in the fees section, runs from $502.91 to $765.31 a month by type.

How Do Villa Mar Resales Compare With the Developer's Prices?

Villa Mar resales in Bonita Springs have closed below the developer's prices. Over the 36 months to September 25, 2026, developer first sales of ground-floor units recorded a $476,930 median ($402,490 to $555,030) and upstairs units $591,350 ($515,230 to $727,510); every 2026 resale closed below its floor's developer range.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County recorded sales through September 25, 2026; county roll dated October 11, 2026).

This is the single most useful fact for a Villa Mar buyer or seller, and it is a fact of record, not a forecast: what the developer charged in 2023 and 2024 is not what the units have resold for in 2026.

Reading the gap

The four 2026 ground-floor resales, $349,000 to $390,000, sit below the lowest ground-floor developer price of $402,490. The one upstairs resale, $435,000, sits below the lowest upstairs developer price of $515,230. A developer price can include upgrades chosen at contract, and the county record does not show what each unit included, so the gap is not a simple measure of value lost. It is the record a buyer and an appraiser will set beside any asking price.

What it means for a seller

Price against the resale record of your floor, not against what you or a neighbour paid the developer. We show sellers the resale list above before anything else.

What it means for a buyer

Villa Mar in Bonita Springs owns its clubhouse and pool outright as condominium common elements: the county roll carries a clubhouse building of 2,164 heated square feet, 5,914 square feet under roof, with a pool. There is no golf, tennis, marina or beach inside Villa Mar, and the neighbouring Highland Woods and Bonita Bay clubs are private to their own owners.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser roll dated October 11, 2026; Declaration of Villa Mar at Bonita Beach, Section 18.4).

Section 18.4 of the declaration names the recreation common elements: "(a) a clubhouse, along with a pool, (b) the entrance drive, and (c) associated landscaping, interior drives, sidewalks, utilities and SWMS facilities". Because they are common elements, there is no separate club, membership or equity charge; their cost runs through the condominium budget.

The clubhouse and pool

The clubhouse record carries one building of 2,164 heated square feet and 5,914 square feet in total, which takes in covered and unheated areas, and the pool flag. What rooms the clubhouse holds is not in the record; a fitness room and key-card entry appear only in broker descriptions, so we do not list them.

The ponds

Two ponds sit in the common elements, and 23 unit footprints in buildings 1 to 4 lie within 50 feet of one on the county water layer. The master land condominium association operates the stormwater system, "including ... all lakes". No recorded text grants fishing or boating.

Neighbouring clubs

Highland Woods Golf and Country Club next door is a private club for Highland Woods homes, and Bonita Bay's clubs are private to Bonita Bay. Neither is a Villa Mar amenity on any record we read.

Public recreation nearby

The Imperial River Boat Ramp, a Lee County ramp with two launches open dawn to dusk, is about 2.3 to 2.4 miles and 6 to 7 minutes away. Bonita Springs Community Park and the Community Pool on Pine Avenue are about 3 miles, Riverside Park downtown about 3.2 miles, and the Promenade at Bonita Bay about a mile.

The gate question

No record we read describes a gate at Villa Mar's entrance. We do not call it gated; see the entrance in person.

Does Villa Mar Have an HOA, and How Do Its Two Associations Work?

Villa Mar in Bonita Springs has two association layers. Villa Mar at Bonita Beach Condominium Association, Inc. runs the 94-unit condominium, and it is itself the member for Parcel 2 of the North Bay Village of Bonita Springs Land Condominium, whose association runs the master land condominium and its stormwater lakes. Owners deal directly with the first.

Data updated: October 2026 (Florida Division of Corporations records and Lee County Clerk documents, read October 17, 2026).

An owner belongs to the Villa Mar condominium association, pays its assessment and votes once per unit. The Villa Mar association pays Parcel 2's share of the master land condominium's expenses through its own budget and casts Parcel 2's 80 master votes as a block.

The condominium association

Villa Mar at Bonita Beach Condominium Association, Inc. was filed May 25, 2021 and is active, with annual reports filed from 2022 to 2026, the latest on March 5, 2026. Its address and registered agent moved to a Bonita Springs community management company on Highland Woods Boulevard on March 28, 2025, days before the developer's last sale on March 31, 2025, which is consistent with the hand-over from the developer.

The master land condominium association

North Bay Village of Bonita Springs Land Condominium Association, Inc. was filed January 12, 2004 and is active, managed from Naples. The state record shows two reinstatements, in 2017 and 2021, and gaps in its annual reports, which suggest past periods of administrative dissolution. It operates the land condominium's common areas and its surface water system.

How the votes and costs split

The master's 2005 declaration gives the commercial Parcels 1 and 1A 63.64 percent of the votes and Parcel 2, Villa Mar, 36.36 percent, and ties each parcel's share of master common expenses to that same percentage. The commercial owners therefore hold a majority of master votes. Whether later amendments changed the split is not in the amendments we read.

What the condominium association controls

Leases and tenants, alterations and hurricane protection, the clubhouse and pool, the building exteriors and roofs, which the declaration makes common elements, and the condominium's insurance.

The documents a buyer receives

A resale buyer receives the declaration, articles, by-laws, rules, year-end financial information and the frequently asked questions sheet under section 718.503, with a cancellation right. The declaration itself refers to the association's website for estoppel requests; with 94 units, the association must post its documents online under section 718.111(12)(g). We did not find the site by public search, so the documents arrive through the seller.

What Are the Villa Mar Condo Fees and Property Taxes?

A Villa Mar owner in Bonita Springs pays the condominium assessment, which carries Parcel 2's share of the master land condominium, plus district 017 property taxes at 12.7942 mills for 2026 and two non-ad valorem lines, City stormwater ($20.00) and county solid waste ($358.45). There is no CDD. The current assessment is not in any public document.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Tax Collector 2025 bill; Lee County Property Appraiser final 2026 millage book; Declaration of Villa Mar at Bonita Beach, Exhibit 6).

The 2026 millage lines

District 017's 2026 rate is 12.7942 mills: Lee County 3.7623, schools 2.2480 and 3.0230, City of Bonita Springs 0.8411, library 0.4218, the water management district's three levies 0.2301, Bonita Springs Fire 1.9999, hyacinth 0.0190, mosquito 0.2096 and the inland navigation district 0.0394.

Worked example: a 2026 bill at $400,000

At a $400,000 price with no exemption and a just value equal to the price: 400,000 x 12.7942 / 1,000 = $5,117.68 in ad valorem tax, plus the 2025 levels of stormwater and solid waste, $378.45, for $5,496.13 before the early-payment discount and before association dues. Arithmetic on published rates, not a bill.

What one Villa Mar owner actually paid

One upstairs unit without a homestead exemption carried an assessed value of $397,950 on its 2025 bill, ad valorem tax of $5,347.21 and $378.45 in non-ad valorem lines, $5,725.66 in all ($5,496.63 paid with the November discount). The same account paid $685.47 for 2023, before the building was on the roll, and $4,767.91 for 2024. New-construction bills step up as the building is assessed.

Why a buyer's bill resets

A sale ends any Save Our Homes cap, and the next January 1 assessment resets toward just value. With only 14 of 94 units homesteaded, most Villa Mar bills are already non-homestead bills; a buyer's first full bill is set by the Property Appraiser's assessment on the January 1 after closing.

Water, sewer and power

Bonita Springs Utilities' multi-family class: water base $7.34 a month per unit plus usage, wastewater base $25.82 plus $4.19 per 1,000 gallons to 16,000. FPL supplies electricity.

What Rules Apply at Villa Mar: Leasing, Pets, Occupancy and Alterations?

The recorded Villa Mar declaration in Bonita Springs sets leases of at least 90 days, no more than three in 12 months, with prior approval; up to two pets of 70 pounds or less; occupancy up to two persons per bedroom and one per den; impact glass instead of shutters; mandatory evacuation compliance; and it permits children, with no age restriction.

Data updated: October 2026 (Declaration of Villa Mar at Bonita Beach, read at the Lee County Clerk October 17, 2026).

These are the 2023 recorded rules; the association may adopt further rules, and a buyer reads the current set in the resale documents.

Pets

Section 17.3 allows "Up to two (2) domesticated pets, each weighing not more than seventy (70) pounds", and bars breeds prohibited by law or deemed dangerous by the Board.

Occupancy and home offices

Section 17.1 limits occupancy to "two (2) persons per bedroom and one (1) person per den", allows a home office without employees, clients or added traffic, and treats anyone staying more than a month without the owner present as a tenant.

Age

Section 17.2: "Children shall be permitted to be occupants of Units in accordance with any applicable rules and regulations." There is no age restriction.

Smoking

Smoking is banned on the common elements; tobacco smoking is allowed on a unit's own balcony, terrace or loggia (17.11).

Hurricane protection

Section 17.15: "The exterior glass in the Condominium is intended (without imposing any obligation) to be composed of impact resistant glass", so no other hurricane protection may be installed except as the Condominium Act requires, with Board approval.

Evacuation

Section 17.16 makes compliance with evacuation orders mandatory and requires balconies to be cleared on hurricane notice. With every unit in Lee County evacuation zone A, this rule matters.

Selling

We found no sale approval or right of first refusal clause in the declaration text we read; leases, not sales, need approval. A title company confirms at contract.

Can You Rent Out a Villa Mar Condo?

Yes. The Villa Mar declaration lets Bonita Springs owners lease whole units with the association's prior written approval, for at least 90 days, no more than three times in any 12 months, and not while the owner is delinquent or fined. Tenants register before moving in, and the approval fee is capped by statute, "currently $150.00 per applicant" in the 2023 text, and the state now lists $184.

Data updated: October 2026 (Declaration of Villa Mar at Bonita Beach, Section 17.8; City of Bonita Springs rental permits page).

Section 17.8 reads: "No lease of a Unit shall be for a period of less than ninety (90) days, and no Unit may be leased more than three (3) times in any twelve (12) month period."

What it allows

Three-month seasonal leases, up to three a year, or longer tenancies. Weekly and monthly vacation stays are not allowed.

The City permit

The City of Bonita Springs requires a rental permit for a non-owner-occupied rented dwelling: $100 per unit, valid three years, after a Code Enforcement inspection, with a local agent when the owner lives outside the Twentieth Judicial Circuit.

Owner occupancy on the roll

Only 14 of the 94 units carry a homestead exemption on the 2026 roll, and tax bills for 37 mail to Florida addresses, 9 to Canada, 1 to Switzerland and the rest to 16 other states. Second homes and leased units make up most of Villa Mar.

The approval fee

"Up to the statutory maximum", currently $150.00 per applicant other than a spouse or a parent and dependent child, per the 2023 text; the state now lists $184.

What Flood Zone Is Villa Mar In?

No Villa Mar unit is in a FEMA special flood hazard area on the live map. We tested all 96 Villa Mar records in Bonita Springs on October 17, 2026: 81 units returned shaded Zone X, the 0.2 percent annual chance coastal flood hazard, and 13 returned Zone X, minimal hazard. None returned Zone AE or VE, but every unit is in evacuation zone A.

Data updated: October 2026 (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, Pending and Preliminary layers, queried October 17, 2026; FEMA panel 12071C0656G; USGS 3DEP elevation service).

We report the split rather than one zone because the map draws a line through the community. At 16 test points across the buildings, 15 returned shaded Zone X and one unshaded Zone X.

The governing panel

The live map's governing panel is Lee County 12071C0656G, effective November 17, 2022. FEMA's Pending and Preliminary layers returned nothing at any point, so no map change is in FEMA's pipeline here.

What shaded Zone X means

Shaded Zone X marks areas with a 0.2 percent annual chance of flooding, here from coastal sources: outside the 1 percent annual chance floodplain that triggers mandatory flood insurance on a federally backed loan, but inside the wider band the map flags. A federally backed lender does not require flood insurance on the map alone, though a lender may still ask for it.

Ground height

The USGS 3DEP lidar puts the ground at the 16 points at about 10.5 to 13.4 feet. That is ground; each building's finished floor is on its elevation certificate, searchable by address on the City's Community Development site.

How Villa Mar compares

Sorrento, east of I-75, sits on ground of about 16.8 to 17.9 feet and returns Zone X minimal on every unit. Villa Mar is about 5 feet lower and closer to Estero Bay, which shows in both its shaded Zone X and its evacuation zone.

What Does Evacuation Zone A Mean for Villa Mar, and What Is Its Storm History?

Every Villa Mar unit in Bonita Springs is in Lee County evacuation zone A, storm surge zone 1, the county's most vulnerable zone and the first ordered to evacuate. The buildings were finished in 2023 and 2024, after Hurricanes Irma and Ian, and no public record we read ties Milton damage in October 2024 to Villa Mar.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County evacuation layer and Zone A sheet; National Hurricane Center reports; read October 17, 2026).

A flood-map Zone X result and an evacuation zone A result are different measures. FEMA's map models rainfall and coastal flooding at a set annual chance; the county's evacuation zones model storm surge from hurricanes of rising strength. Villa Mar is outside FEMA's 1 percent floodplain and inside the county's first surge zone.

What the county says about Zone A

Lee County's Zone A sheet: "Zone A is our most vulnerable area and will be first to be impacted for a land-falling storm. Evacuation is often required for any named storm coming from the Gulf." It warns that "potentially fatal storm surge and large, crashing waves are the most extreme dangers", and says "Zone A will be the first area ordered to evacuate."

What the declaration requires

Section 17.16 of the declaration makes compliance with evacuation orders mandatory for owners and requires balconies to be cleared on hurricane notice.

Storm history

Ian made landfall at Cayo Costa on September 28, 2022 as a Category 4 at 130 knots and Irma near Marco Island on September 10, 2017, both before Villa Mar's buildings existed; the land was then vacant Parcel 2. Milton made landfall on Siesta Key on October 10, 2024 as a Category 3, after Villa Mar's completion; no damage record for Villa Mar was found.

Watershed

Villa Mar drains to the Spring Creek watershed on the county layer.

How Do Insurance, Wind Rules and Building Codes Affect Villa Mar Condos?

Villa Mar's buildings in Bonita Springs were finished in 2023 and 2024 under the 2020 or 2023 edition of the Florida Building Code, designed for a 160 mph wind speed inside the wind-borne debris region, with impact glass intended throughout. The association insures the buildings and roofs; an owner's unit-owner policy is exempt from Citizens' flood requirement.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser hazard layer; Florida Building Commission effective dates; Citizens Property Insurance; Declaration Section 14).

The building code era

The 7th Edition (2020) of the Florida Building Code took effect December 31, 2020 and the 8th Edition (2023) on December 31, 2023. Which edition governed each building depends on its permit date, which the City's permit portal holds; either way the buildings were permitted under a code edition from 2020 or later.

Impact glass

The declaration states the exterior glass "is intended ... to be composed of impact resistant glass", so shutters are not part of the plan. A wind mitigation inspection on the current OIR-B1-1802 (Rev. 04/26) form records the openings for an insurer.

The master policy and the unit-owner policy

The declaration makes the roofs, structure and exteriors common elements, so the association insures them. An owner insures contents, liability and what the master policy leaves out. The master policy's carrier, deductible and any flood coverage are in the association's records.

Citizens and flood

Citizens' flood page: "Condominium unit-owner policies, tenant content policies, and policies that exclude windstorm or hail coverage are not required to purchase flood insurance coverage." So the January 1, 2027 Citizens requirement does not reach a Villa Mar owner's unit-owner policy.

Community Rating System

The City of Bonita Springs is a Class 5 community in FEMA's Community Rating System; outside the special flood hazard area the NFIP discount is 10 percent.

Roof age

New roofs from 2023 and 2024 are years from the 15-year line in section 627.7011(5) of the Florida Statutes.

Do the Condo Safety Inspection and Reserve Study Laws Apply to Villa Mar?

Florida's structural integrity reserve study and milestone inspection laws do not reach Villa Mar's buildings on the statute text, because every building in the Bonita Springs condominium is two stories. The reserve study paragraph "does not apply to buildings less than three stories in height", and milestone inspections cover buildings three stories or more.

Data updated: October 2026 (Florida Statutes sections 718.112 and 553.899, read October 17, 2026).

The statutes

Section 718.112(2)(g) and section 553.899 set their thresholds at three stories. Villa Mar's 16 buildings are two stories, so neither applies on its terms; an elevator inside a unit does not change the building's height.

Ordinary reserves

Section 718.112(2)(f) still requires reserves for roof replacement, painting and items over $10,000 unless the owners vote to waive them. A buyer reads the reserve schedule in the budget.

Special assessments

None on any public Villa Mar record; the estoppel certificate would show any that are due.

What Schools Serve Villa Mar?

Every Villa Mar address we tested returned the same School District of Lee County zones for 2026-27: elementary Zone Q, middle Zone GG and high school South Sub-zone 3. Spring Creek Elementary, the nearest zone school in Bonita Springs, is about 0.75 mile away in a straight line and 4 to 5 minutes by road.

Data updated: October 2026 (School District of Lee County zone data and Student Enrollment Plan 2026-2027; FLDOE 2025-26 school grades as of September 1, 2026).

How Does Villa Mar Compare With Other Bonita Springs Condominiums?

Villa Mar, finished in 2023 and 2024 about a mile from the Promenade at Bonita Bay, is among the newer condominiums in our Bonita Springs research, but its 2026 resales, $349,000 to $435,000, sit near the coach condominiums of Sorrento and Paloma Grande, built a decade earlier. Its record differs on flood and evacuation: no special flood hazard area, but zone A.

Reading the comparison

Villa Mar's units are larger than the two coach condominiums' and each has 2.5 or 3.5 baths, and its developer prices ran well above theirs. Its 2026 resales have come down toward theirs. Of the four, it is the only one in evacuation zone A, and the only one with a master land condominium shared with commercial parcels. Solis Grande is a fee-simple townhome community in unincorporated Lee County with a Bonita Springs address.

Villa Mar vs Paloma Grande: Which Fits Your Priorities?

Villa Mar and Paloma Grande at Paloma are both two-story condominiums in the City of Bonita Springs with a garage in every unit. Villa Mar is newer and larger, close to US 41 and evacuation zone A; Paloma Grande is older, priced lower over the last 12 months, partly in Zone AE and in evacuation zone B.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County recorded sales through September 25, 2026; FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer; Lee County evacuation layer; our Paloma research of October 12, 2026).

Paloma Grande is the condominium inside Paloma, off Imperial Parkway beside I-75, about 2 miles east of Villa Mar in a straight line.

Which fits which buyer's priorities

A buyer who wants a newer, larger unit with an extra half bath, impact glass and shops minutes away will find Villa Mar's record a strong fit, and should weigh evacuation zone A and the commercial majority in its master. A buyer who puts the lower price, a shorter drive to I-75 and evacuation zone B first may prefer Paloma Grande, priced with its flood zone by phase. Our Paloma Grande guide carries its full record.

Why Buy in Villa Mar? Honest Pros and Cons

Villa Mar's strengths on the Bonita Springs record are new 2023 and 2024 buildings with impact glass, larger units with extra half baths, a garage in every unit, no CDD, no special flood hazard area and shops about a mile away. Its trade-offs are evacuation zone A, a master land condominium controlled by commercial owners, unpublished dues and resales below the developer's prices.

Data updated: October 2026 (sources as cited in each section).

Strengths on the record

  • New buildings: certified complete from April 2023 to April 2024, under the 2020 or 2023 Florida Building Code, 160 mph design wind, impact glass intended.
  • Units: 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths downstairs, 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths upstairs, each with a private enclosed garage.
  • Flood map: no unit in a special flood hazard area on October 17, 2026.
  • No CDD and two-story buildings outside the reserve study and milestone inspection statutes.
  • Location: the Promenade at Bonita Bay about a mile, Publix about 1.1 miles, an emergency department about 2.6 miles, LeeTran ULTRA service.
  • Leasing: 90-day minimum and up to three leases a year, with association approval.

Trade-offs on the record

  • Evacuation zone A, surge zone 1, the county's first zone ordered to evacuate.
  • Master land condominium: commercial parcels hold 63.64 percent of master votes.
  • Dues not published in any document we could read.
  • Resales below developer prices, which a buyer reads as opportunity and a recent buyer as a loss.
  • Not on the beach, about 5 miles by road, despite the name.
  • About 13 minutes to I-75.

What a careful buyer should weigh

A careful Villa Mar buyer reads the condominium budget and the master land condominium's budget line, asks for the master policy's deductible, plans for zone A evacuations, and prices against the 2026 resales rather than the 2023 developer list.

What buyers ask about a Villa Mar listing

  • The budget and assessment, which no public document states, and the master land condominium's share inside it.
  • The master policy, its deductible and any flood coverage.
  • Evacuation zone A and the declaration's evacuation rule.
  • The lease rules: 90 days minimum, three leases in 12 months, approval and fee.
  • Why resales sit below the developer prices.

How long does a Villa Mar condo take to sell?

Days on market are an MLS figure: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-10-10). The county record shows 5 resales in the 12 months to September 25, 2026.

Do I need an estoppel certificate to sell in Villa Mar?

Will my buyer pay a CDD?

No. Villa Mar's 2025 tax bill carries no community development district line.

Villa Mar FAQ: Seller Edition

Sellers ask what a Villa Mar condo in Bonita Springs is worth now that the developer has sold out, how the two floors price, what the resales show, what documents a buyer receives, what the estoppel and closing costs are and how the lease rules and evacuation zone affect a sale. Every answer comes from the Lee County record, the recorded documents and Florida statute.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County recorded sales through September 25, 2026; county roll dated October 11, 2026; Florida Statutes and DBPR estoppel schedule).

What is my Villa Mar condo worth?

Start with the 2026 resales of your floor: four ground-floor resales from $349,000 to $390,000 and one upstairs resale at $435,000 in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. Get a free home valuation at https://mcgreevyandcomisar.com/home-valuation for a figure built on your unit.

Should I price at what I paid the developer?

Usually not. Every 2026 resale closed below the developer's 2023 to 2024 range for its floor, so a buyer and an appraiser will read the resales first.

How many Villa Mar condos sold in the last year?

Five, all resales, about 5.3 percent of the 94 units.

What did the developer charge?

Over the 36 months to September 25, 2026, developer first sales of ground-floor units recorded a $476,930 median ($402,490 to $555,030) and upstairs units $591,350 ($515,230 to $727,510).

Does an upstairs unit sell for more?

Yes on the developer's prices, $591,350 against $476,930 in median; in resale, the one upstairs resale, $435,000, recorded above all four 2026 ground-floor resales.

How long will my condo take to sell?

Days on market are an MLS figure: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-10-10).

Do I need an estoppel certificate?

Yes. The association issues it within ten business days under the declaration; the statutory base is $250 and DBPR's current caps are $299, $119 expedited and $179 if delinquent.

What documents must I give my buyer?

The declaration and its amendments, the articles, by-laws, rules, year-end financial information and the frequently asked questions sheet under section 718.503; the master land condominium documents come with them.

What closing costs does a Villa Mar seller usually pay?

In Lee County the seller customarily pays the deed stamps and the owner's title policy; at $435,000 those two lines total $5,295.00. The contract controls.

How much are documentary stamps on a Villa Mar sale?

$0.70 per $100: $2,443.00 at $349,000, $3,045.00 at $435,000 and $3,290.00 at $470,000.

Does my buyer need association approval?

We found no sale approval clause in the declaration text we read; leases need approval. The title company confirms.

Will evacuation zone A hurt my sale?

Buyers ask about it, and the declaration requires evacuation compliance. Set beside it the flood map's result, no special flood hazard area, and the 2023 to 2024 impact-glass buildings.

Do I have to disclose the master land condominium?

It is in the recorded documents a buyer receives; we explain the 63.64 percent commercial vote share up front so it is not a surprise.

Will my buyer's taxes match mine?

Not exactly. A sale resets the assessment on the next January 1; one upstairs unit without a homestead paid $5,725.66 for 2025.

Can I sell with a tenant in place?

Yes. A lease under the declaration runs at least 90 days, and the buyer takes the unit subject to the lease the contract describes.

Does the buyer pay a capital contribution?

We did not find a resale capital contribution clause in the declaration text we read; the estoppel certificate shows any amount due at closing.

What upgrades help a Villa Mar sale?

Units are new, so condition and any developer upgrades chosen at contract separate one unit from another. We describe them against the resale record.

Should I get a wind mitigation report before listing?

It helps a buyer's unit-owner quote; the state form changed to OIR-B1-1802 (Rev. 04/26) for inspections from April 1, 2026.

Do I need an elevation certificate?

Not by law. A buyer's insurer may ask; the City posts existing certificates by address.

Is there a CDD to disclose?

No. The 2025 bill shows no community development district.

What if a special assessment is pending?

The estoppel certificate shows it. We found none on any public record.

Do the condo safety laws require an inspection before I sell?

No. Every building is two stories, below the statutes' three-story threshold.

Who handles utility accounts at closing?

You close your Bonita Springs Utilities and FPL accounts; taxes and association amounts are prorated on the closing statement.

Can I sell off market?

Yes, when a sale needs to stay private; we offer the unit to qualified buyers before, or instead of, the open market.

How do you market a Villa Mar condo?

Professional photography, video and drone, the resale record of your floor, the documents up front and our buyer database. Read our Villa Mar seller guide.

Do you work with sellers who live out of state or abroad?

Yes. Tax bills for 57 of the 94 units mail outside Florida, including 9 to Canada and 1 to Switzerland, and we handle listings and closings for owners who are away.

What records do you pull before pricing?

Every recorded Villa Mar sale since May 2023 by floor and by first sale or resale, the county heated area and bedroom count, the declaration and amendments, the master land condominium declaration and the tax bill.

Is now a good time to sell?

That depends on your plans. We show you the resale record and what is changing, including the Old 41 widening and insurance rules, and you decide.

Can I lease my unit while it is listed?

Yes within the declaration's rules, though a lease running past closing narrows the buyer pool to buyers who accept it.
