That matters in Wild Pines for a specific reason. The county deed record shows that Wild Pines prices reset: the 1,130-square-foot condos that recorded at $400,000 to $535,000 in 2024 recorded at $260,000 to $360,000 in the last 12 months, and the highest qualified Wild Pines deed on the file, $642,000, dates from May 2022. A listing agent who prices a Wild Pines condo off a 2022 or 2024 sale, or off a Bonita Bay average, can miss this market by a wide margin.
Recent Wild Pines track record (last 12 months): In the last 12 months Wild Pines has seen 6 resales in the Lee County qualified-deed record (November 2025 through the newest recorded Wild Pines deed, May 11, 2026), totaling $1,832,600, and the highest-priced Wild Pines sale in that window was $362,500. The Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull shows those six closings plus one more, recorded after the county extract, with a median of 177 days on market and a median sale-to-list ratio of 93.5%. We tracked every qualified deed, and we will walk you through each one.

Wild Pines at Bonita Bay in eight facts, each drawn from a county, state, federal or association record named later on this page, so a buyer or seller can see the size of the village, what it sells for, how it is governed and what the flood map says before reading further.
Wild Pines at Bonita Bay, section by section. Each link below jumps to its part of this guide, from the county sales record and the two condominium associations to the lanai repair programs, the measured flood zone, the comparison with Sandpiper, the seller section and the sources behind every figure.
Wild Pines at Bonita Bay is a 105-unit low-rise condominium community inside the gated, master-planned community of Bonita Bay in Bonita Springs, Florida, built from 1985 to 1989 on a single street, Wild Pines Drive. Its condos run from 581 to 1,130 square feet of heated living area on the county roll, and it is the most attainable condominium address inside the Bonita Bay gates.
Wild Pines is part of Bonita Bay’s condominium side: not a single-family neighborhood, not a high-rise tower, but the low-rise, attainable, pine-shaded end of the spectrum. Four three-story buildings (A, B, C and D) hold 84 condos, and Building E, recorded as its own condominium, holds 21 condos at two street addresses. Straight-line measurements from Lee County’s address points put the village about 0.15 mile from the Bonita Bay Club’s address at 26660 Country Club Drive and about 0.4 mile from the Bonita Bay Community Association office at 3451 Bonita Bay Boulevard.
If you are reading this page, you are almost certainly weighing one of three things. You are a buyer (primary residence, snowbird, or investor) seriously evaluating whether Wild Pines’ combination of price point (16 qualified deeds in 36 months at a $375,000 median, six in the last 12 months from $240,000 to $362,500), condo size (581 to 1,130 square feet, low-rise, no tower) and total monthly cost is the right match for how you actually intend to live. Or you are a Wild Pines owner thinking about selling, trying to understand what your condo is worth in a market that has reset from its 2022 peak, and whether McGreevy and Comisar is the right team to represent you. Or you are doing early-stage research on Bonita Bay’s full product range, from the eight towers on Bonita Bay Boulevard to the attainable condominium villages at the other end, and trying to understand where Wild Pines sits in that hierarchy.
This page is long on purpose. Most pages about Wild Pines, when they exist at all, run to a few bullet points and a photo carousel. What they do not do is answer the dozens of questions a serious buyer actually has before writing an offer on a 1980s condominium inside one of Southwest Florida’s most layered master-planned communities. You will find here: how Wild Pines was recorded and built, every floor plan and building, the association layers and what is and is not published about their costs, the lanai repair programs the association has announced, the measured FEMA flood zone at every Wild Pines address, the county deed record and the Southwest Florida MLS figures, the rental and pet rules in the association’s own words, and dozens of frequently asked questions for buyers and sellers. If something about Wild Pines is complicated or uncertain, we say so.
Living in Wild Pines means owning a condominium, not a lot: a one- or two-bedroom condo of 581 to 1,130 square feet in a low-rise building on Wild Pines Drive, a shared pool, pool house and clubhouse run by the Wild Pines association, and the full Bonita Bay Community Association amenity set, from the gated entrances to the Private Beach, without a country-club initiation.
What Wild Pines is: a village of 105 attached condominiums in low-rise buildings. Buildings A to D are three stories (the association’s own repair notices describe lanais on the first, second and third floors, and the county roll numbers each building’s units 101 to 107, 201 to 207 and 301 to 307). Building E’s units are numbered on two floors. The Lee County Property Appraiser classifies every one of the 105 Wild Pines unit parcels as use code 04, condominium, and a 106th parcel at 3600 Wild Pines Drive holds the common elements.
What Wild Pines is not: it is not a single-family neighborhood: there are no detached homes, no private lots and no individual yards. It is not a high-rise tower community: there is no elevated bay or Gulf view and no tower lobby. If you are buying in Bonita Bay specifically for a tower’s water view or a single-family home’s private lot, those experiences belong to other Bonita Bay product types, priced accordingly. Wild Pines’ appeal is the Bonita Bay amenity set (paths, parks, the Private Beach and its shuttle, optional Club membership) at the most attainable condominium entry point in the community.
The setting is defined by mature vegetation. The Bonita Bay Community Association describes the community’s founding philosophy as leaving “an abundance of natural fascinations untouched”, with less than half of the available land developed across 2,400 acres (BBCA, Style of Living). The Wild Pines buildings sit among pines and a lake, and the Lee County Property Appraiser’s neighborhood description for the Wild Pines parcels reads “GOLF”, placing the village beside the Bonita Bay Club’s west campus courses.
Wild Pines Drive carries every Wild Pines address: the Bonita Bay Community Association’s street table lists Wild Pines Drive under the Wild Pines neighborhood (BBCA, Street and Neighborhoods), and the county roll places all 105 condos at 3611 to 3661 Wild Pines Drive.
Bonita Bay as a whole describes itself as the largest gated community in Southwest Florida to obtain a Blue Zones Recognized Community designation, with twelve miles of recreational paths and three waterfront parks, and all of it is open to Wild Pines owners the moment they close (BBCA, Style of Living).
Who buys at Wild Pines: the buyer pool mixes snowbirds who want a lower-maintenance, lock-and-leave Bonita Bay address; full-time residents who want golf-side living and beach access without a country-club initiation; and investors drawn by the association’s seven-day minimum lease at the lowest condominium entry price inside the gates. Nothing in the public record we reviewed designates Wild Pines as 55-and-over housing.
Wild Pines buyers choose between four floor plans, two associations and a Building B lanai repair program that the association scheduled for completion around September 30, 2026, and sellers price against six deeds recorded in the last 12 months at $240,000 to $362,500.

Data updated: September 2026. Wild Pines condo prices come from two records on this page: the Lee County qualified-deed file, which is our primary recent-sales source, and the Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull. County deed records are through September 2026, so every figure below names its window and its source, and where the two records differ we publish the deed price.
The Lee County Property Appraiser’s qualified-sale file (DOR-qualified, improved sales only, index built September 29, 2026) shows 16 Wild Pines sales in the 36 months since September 2023, the first window with ten or more sales. All 16 were resales; there is no builder-direct sale because the last Wild Pines building was completed in 1989.
Wild Pines, Lee County qualified deeds | Sales | Median | Low | High | Volume |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
36 months since September 2023 | 16 | $375,000 | $240,000 | $535,000 | $6,175,100 |
Last 12 months (since September 2025) | 6 | listed below | $240,000 | $362,500 | $1,832,600 |
The 36-month median is the mean of the middle pair, two deeds at $375,000 (n = 16, even), so it equals an observed sale. The newest recorded Wild Pines sale in the county file is dated May 11, 2026.
Because the last 12 months hold fewer than ten sales, here they are individually, by sale date, building and floor plan:
Sale date | Building | Heated sq ft | Qualified deed price | Price per sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|---|
November 2025 | B (3651) | 1,130 | $260,000 | $230 |
November 2025 | B (3651) | 839 | $240,000 | $286 |
March 2026 | B (3651) | 1,130 | $360,000 | $319 |
March 2026 | E (3621) | 995 | $362,500 | $364 |
May 2026 | A (3661) | 1,130 | $320,100 | $283 |
May 2026 | E (3611) | 995 | $290,000 | $291 |
Across those six deeds the price per heated square foot ran from $230 to $364, and the mean of the six per-sale ratios is $296 (we average each sale’s own ratio rather than dividing total dollars by total footage). The three 1,130-square-foot sales in the window ran from $260,000 to $360,000, which shows how much condition, floor and view move a Wild Pines price within one plan.
The Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull (Development BONITA BAY, closed sales from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026, pulled September 30, 2026) records seven closed Wild Pines sales:
Wild Pines, Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 | Value |
|---|---|
Closed sales, the 12 months to September 30, 2026 | 7 |
Sold range | $240,000 to $362,500 |
Median sold price | $315,000 (middle of seven sales) |
Mean sold price | $306,800 |
Median price per square foot | $286 |
Median days on market | 177 |
Median living area | 1,064 sq ft |
Active listings on September 30, 2026 | 3, from $325,000 to $389,000, median $344,900, median 175 days on market |
Rental records (active plus rented in the 12 months to September 30, 2026) | 3 (all active, none rented); no asking rent recorded |
The county deed record and the MLS agree here: six of the seven MLS closings match the six county deeds in the last 12 months, from $240,000 to $362,500. The seventh, $315,000 on August 27, 2026, closed after the newest sale in the county file (May 11, 2026). With fewer than 10 closings we list them rather than lean on the median: $260,000 (November 2025), $240,000 (December 2025), $360,000 and $362,500 (March 2026), $320,100 and $290,000 (May 2026) and $315,000 (August 2026). The median sale-to-list ratio was 93.5%.
Three things in this data matter most. First, the median of 177 days on market is slow: roughly six months from list to close on the typical Wild Pines sale over the last 12 months. Second, the 93.5% median sale-to-list ratio tells sellers that the typical Wild Pines sale closed about six and a half percent under its last asking price. Third, three active listings on September 30, 2026 against seven closings in the 12 months is roughly five months of supply at that pace, and still a market where a correctly priced condo sells and an overpriced one waits.
The county file shows why a Wild Pines price has to be built from recent deeds. In 2022, 19 qualified Wild Pines deeds recorded, nine of them at $525,000 or more, topped by a 1,130-square-foot condo in Building A at $642,000 in May 2022. In the 36 months since September 2023 the high is $535,000, and in the last 12 months it is $362,500. The same three floor plans that led the 2022 market now close in the $240,000 to $362,500 band. The deed record does not say why prices reset, so read it alongside two other records on this page: the association’s lanai repair programs for Buildings D and B, and Florida’s post-Surfside condominium safety law of 2022 (SB 4-D), which set milestone inspection and structural reserve duties for condominium buildings of three or more stories.
The table below compares Wild Pines with the other low-rise condominium villages inside Bonita Bay on one yardstick: the Lee County qualified-deed record, index built September 29, 2026, using the first window with ten or more sales for each village, plus the Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 closed median and days on market.
Village (condos) | Year built | Median heated sq ft | County window and sales | County median | MLS Sept 2026 median, days on market |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Wild Pines (105) | 1985 to 1989 | 995 | 36 months, 16 | $375,000 | $315,000, 177 |
Sandpiper (120) | 1991 to 1994 | 1,393 | 12 months, 11 | $380,000 | $380,000, 42 |
Greenbriar (78) | 1989 to 1998 | 1,442 | 36 months, 12 | $484,000 | $405,000, 108 |
Bay Pointe (120) | 1997 to 2000 | 1,820 | 12 months, 12 | $414,512 | $409,025, 262 |
Harbor Landing (120) | 1994 to 1997 | 1,615 | 24 months, 12 | $502,500 | $502,500, 30 |
Waterford (114) | 1992 to 1997 | 2,097 | 12 months, 16 | $670,000 | $656,900, 24 |
Wild Pines has the smallest condos and the oldest buildings in that set, and the lowest MLS closed median; in fact its $315,000 is the lowest closed median of the 21 Bonita Bay neighborhoods broken out in the Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull. Its 36-month county median sits close to Sandpiper’s 12-month median only because the Wild Pines window reaches back to the higher 2023 and 2024 deeds.
For a buyer, the honest read is leverage: a slow median time on market, a sale-to-list ratio in the low 90s and recent deeds well under the 2022 and 2024 levels. For a seller, it is a market that punishes overpricing and rewards a price built from the six deeds recorded since November 2025, adjusted for plan, floor, view, condition and building. We tracked every one of the 16 qualified Wild Pines deeds in the 36-month window for this update, and we price from them, not from asking prices.

Wild Pines came to be in Bonita Bay’s first building wave: its association was incorporated in May 1985, its main condominium of 84 units was recorded in December 1985, Building A carries a 1985 year built on the county roll, Buildings B, C and D followed in 1986, and Building E was recorded as a separate 21-unit condominium in 1988 and carries a 1989 year built on the county roll.
The story begins with the Bonita Bay master plan. The Bonita Bay Community Association dates the community to 1985 and describes a founding philosophy of developing less than half of the available land while preserving the rest (BBCA Media Brochure, January 2026; BBCA, Style of Living). The pines that give Wild Pines its name are a product of that design intention.
The legal record is precise. Wild Pines of Bonita Bay Condominium Association, Inc. was incorporated with the Florida Division of Corporations on May 9, 1985 (Sunbiz document N09208; active, reinstated January 28, 2003). The Declaration of Condominium for Buildings A, B, C and D is recorded at Lee County Official Records Book 1819, Page 1221, the reference the county roll carries in every A to D legal description, and the state condominium register lists WILD PINES OF BONITA BAY, A CONDO (PR1P014984) with 84 units, recorded December 17, 1985 (Florida DBPR condominium register).
Building E followed as a separate phase with its own governance. Wild Pines of Bonita Bay, Building “E”, Condominium Association, Inc. was filed on June 23, 1987 (Sunbiz document N21267; active, amended annual report filed July 15, 2026). Its declaration is recorded at Official Records Book 1968, Page 3070, and the state register lists WILD PINES OF BONITA BAY BLDG E, A CONDO (PR1S019624) with 21 units, recorded February 5, 1988. The county roll dates all 21 Building E condos to 1989.
The county year-built field therefore reads 1985 for Building A (21 condos), 1986 for Buildings B, C and D (63 condos) and 1989 for Building E (21 condos). This phased history matters to buyers today for one concrete reason: a Building E buyer receives a different declaration and deals with a different condominium association from a buyer in Buildings A to D, and both buyers also join the Bonita Bay Community Association.
The Wild Pines buildings hold 105 condominiums at six Wild Pines Drive addresses: four three-story buildings (A to D, 21 condos each) at 3661, 3651, 3641 and 3631, and Building E’s 21 condos at 3611 and 3621. Every condo is one of five county-recorded sizes, 581, 839, 995, 1,051 or 1,130 square feet.

Wild Pines offers four coach-style condo configurations on the county roll, from one-bedroom entry units to the largest two-bedroom in the village:
Plan 1, the one-bedroom, one-bath (581 sq ft): twelve condos, three in each of Buildings A to D. These are Wild Pines’ entry-level units and the smallest condos in the village. For single buyers, couples or investors focused on the lowest cost basis in Bonita Bay, the one-bedroom plan deserves a look.
Plan 2, the smaller two-bedroom, two-bath (839 sq ft): twenty-four condos, six in each of Buildings A to D. In the last 12 months one 839-square-foot condo recorded at $240,000.
Plan 3, Building E’s two-bedroom, two-bath (995 sq ft, plus one 1,051 sq ft condo): all 21 Building E condos, at 3621 (twelve) and 3611 (nine, including the single 1,051-square-foot unit). Two Building E condos recorded in the last 12 months, at $362,500 and $290,000.
Plan 4, the larger two-bedroom, two-bath (1,130 sq ft): the most common plan, 48 condos, twelve in each of Buildings A to D. The highest qualified Wild Pines deed on the county file, $642,000 in May 2022, was a 1,130-square-foot condo; in the last 12 months three condos of this plan recorded at $260,000 to $360,000.
Buildings A, B, C and D are three-story buildings with the widest plan mix (581, 839 and 1,130 square feet) and the broadest price range. The association’s Building B construction notice directs owners to posters “at elevators”, so the A to D buildings have elevator service; confirm the elevator for a specific stack during your inspection.
Building E is two floors at two street addresses, all two-bedroom, two-bath condos of 995 square feet (one of 1,051), governed by its own condominium association (Sunbiz N21267) and its own declaration. The Wild Pines rules state that the clubhouse is a common area “for use by Wild Pines A-D and E building” (Wild Pines of Bonita Bay, Rules and Regulations). We found no public primary source on Building E’s elevator arrangement, so a buyer who needs one confirms it on the tour, and a Building E buyer confirms in the estoppel how assessments split between the Building E association, any shared Wild Pines costs and the Bonita Bay Community Association.
Every Wild Pines condominium is 37 to 41 years old in 2026. That is neither a dealbreaker nor something to gloss over. The honest buyer’s checklist for a 1980s Southwest Florida condominium includes:
A full condominium inspection, plus a review of the seller’s disclosure, the association’s financial statements and budget, and any permits pulled for the unit, is essential at Wild Pines before any offer. We help our clients order and review all of it before they sign.
The Wild Pines association has published two structural lanai repair programs: Building D at 3631 Wild Pines Drive, begun June 2, 2025 on a 12-week schedule, and Building B at 3651 Wild Pines Drive, begun May 26, 2026 with completion anticipated around September 30, 2026. Both remove every lanai screen and railing, strip upper-floor lanai floors to concrete, waterproof the slabs and install new railings and screens.
The association’s notice for Building D set construction to begin Monday, June 2, 2025, on a 12-week schedule with completion anticipated in September 2025. The scope covered all 21 lanais on all floors: screens and railings removed, lanai floor coverings removed to concrete on the second and third floors (first-floor lanais only where concrete problems were found), waterproofing applied to the concrete, and new metal railings and screens installed (Wild Pines of Bonita Bay, Repairs to Building D). The owners’ meeting summary published beforehand described it as a unit-price contract whose final cost would depend on the concrete conditions found (Wild Pines of Bonita Bay, Building D update).
The association’s first Building B notice set the same scope for all 21 Building B lanais, with materials staged in the parking lot from May 11, construction from Tuesday, May 26, 2026, a 12-week planned schedule and anticipated completion on September 30, 2026 (Wild Pines of Bonita Bay, Building B Notice 1). The association’s Week 15 update, posted September 9, 2026, reported column repairs on one stack still under way, stucco priming and lanai coatings in progress and the screen-cage contractor measuring for fabrication (Wild Pines of Bonita Bay, Building B Week 15 update).
Before any Building B offer, ask for the association’s latest construction update, the City of Bonita Springs permit record for 3651 Wild Pines Drive, and the estoppel certificate, which states whether any special assessment is levied or pending for the work. Sellers in Building B disclose the program up front; buyers who want to avoid an active job site can focus on Buildings A, C, D and E, and buyers comfortable with it can weigh a Building B condo whose lanai has just been rebuilt.
Wild Pines amenities come in two layers: the village’s own pool, pool house and clubhouse, run by the Wild Pines association for the owners of Buildings A to E, and the Bonita Bay Community Association’s gated entrances, three waterfront parks, twelve miles of paths and the Private Beach, which every Wild Pines owner joins automatically at closing.
The Wild Pines association’s published rules describe the village’s own shared facilities: a pool and pool house (a non-smoking area, with no running, diving or loud music), a clubhouse with bathrooms “for use by Wild Pines A-D and E building”, barbecue grills, bicycle racks with association-registered bikes, and dog stations (Wild Pines of Bonita Bay, Rules and Regulations). The association’s construction notices also describe a lake beside the parking lot and a pool pavilion. The association closed the pool from June 1 to 3, 2026 for waterline tile work and sealing (Wild Pines of Bonita Bay, pool notice).
Every Wild Pines owner is automatically a member of the Bonita Bay Community Association: “When purchasing property within the gates of Bonita Bay, all homeowners automatically become ‘members’ of the Community Association”, which maintains the grounds, roads, streetlights, lakes and stormwater system and the parks, including the Private Beach (BBCA, Community Association).
Three waterfront parks give Bonita Bay residents access to the water (BBCA, The Parks of Bonita Bay):
Twelve miles of paths connect the neighborhoods to the parks and to each other (BBCA, Style of Living; the BBCA posts its community, neighborhood, trail and amenity maps on its Property Map page); the BBCA sets 8 miles per hour as the pathway speed for all users (BBCA newsletter, December 2025). Staffed entrances: the BBCA describes “around-the-clock staffing at all entrances”, at the main gate and the quieter northern entrance, plus a Community Patrol (BBCA, Community Association). Design Review: exterior changes need BBCA Design Review approval before work begins, in addition to any association approval and City of Bonita Springs permit.
Every Wild Pines owner, whether or not they join the Bonita Bay Club, has use of the Bonita Bay Private Beach, the BBCA’s privately owned, Gulf-front facility off Hickory Boulevard, which the BBCA calls its “most popular” amenity. The BBCA advertises it as 10 minutes from gate to gate and runs a year-round shuttle so residents can visit without driving (BBCA, Private Beach).
Hurricane Ian destroyed the original facility in September 2022. The BBCA rebuilt it as a 15,000-square-foot facility, with construction starting in June 2024 (BBCA June 19, 2025 board recap), and the BBCA’s December 2025 newsletter, reposted by the Wild Pines association on November 26, 2025, announced that the beach had received its temporary certificate of occupancy and was open (Wild Pines of Bonita Bay, What’s Current Around the Bay, December 2025). The BBCA’s own page records the reopening on November 13 (BBCA, Private Beach).
On March 20, 2025 the BBCA board approved a special assessment of $500 per unit for the rebuild of the Private Beach facility, with payment due by June 30, 2025, according to the BBCA meeting recap posted by the Wild Pines of Bonita Bay association on March 26, 2025 (Wild Pines of Bonita Bay, recap of the BBCA March 20, 2025 meetings). That assessment is past; a buyer confirms in the estoppel that nothing remains open on a specific condo.
Beach access runs through the lease rules too. The Wild Pines rules state that a lease must also be provided to the BBCA, and that “Failure to record your lease with BBCA will result in a denial of access to amenities including the beach club and shuttle buses” (Wild Pines of Bonita Bay, Rules and Regulations). The BBCA publishes its shuttle stop map only to members, so confirm the pickup nearest Wild Pines Drive in the BBCA resident app.
The Bonita Bay Club is a separate, optional, member-owned private club, not part of owning a Wild Pines condo. The Club describes itself as “a separate entity within the community of Bonita Bay” (Bonita Bay Club, Our Community), and the BBCA invites owners who want golf or other sports to consider joining (BBCA, Realtor and Buyer Resources).
The Club runs five championship courses on two campuses, three designed by Arthur Hills and two by Tom Fazio, plus 16 Har-Tru tennis courts, 15 pickleball courts and a croquet lawn (BBCA, Bonita Bay Club; Bonita Bay Club, Golf). The Bonita Springs campus, whose address at 26660 Country Club Drive measures about 0.15 mile from Wild Pines, holds the Bay Island, Marsh and Creekside courses named in the Club’s post-Ian update (Bonita Bay Club, Hurricane Ian update). Members bought the Club from the developer in 2010 (Business Observer, 2010), and in May 2026 members approved a $110 million clubhouse project (Hunter PR release).
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. For Wild Pines buyers that makes the Club a choice, not a cost of entry: many buyers at this price point rely on the BBCA’s beach, parks and paths as their amenity set, and that is a complete way to live in Bonita Bay.
The Bonita Bay Marina is a semi-private, full-service marina on the Imperial River with direct access to Estero Bay and the Gulf, created and owned by a group of resident investors and separate from both the BBCA and the Club. It offers 326 dry storage spaces for boats up to 36 feet and 98 wet slips for vessels up to 16,000 pounds, plus a ship’s store, fuel, a launch and repairs, with additional fees (BBCA, Bonita Bay Marina and Backwater Jacks; Bonita Bay Marina).
Backwater Jacks, the marina’s waterfront restaurant, is open for dining to all residents (BBCA, Realtor and Buyer Resources; Backwater Jacks). Slip and storage fees are not published. Wild Pines owners without a slip still launch kayaks and canoes at Riverwalk Park and Spring Creek Park.
The HOA fees at Wild Pines stack in layers: the condominium assessment of the Wild Pines association for Buildings A to D (or the separate Building E association), plus the Bonita Bay Community Association’s master assessment. Neither association publishes its current assessment on a public page, so the figure a buyer relies on is the one in the estoppel certificate for the specific condo.
Two Wild Pines listings in June 2026 reported total association fees of about $18,260 a year, roughly $1,520 a month, in the MLS association-fee field (Southwest Florida MLS listings, June 2026, listing-reported). A listing figure is the seller’s entry, not an association statement, and it does not show how the total divides between the Wild Pines association and the master assessment, so treat it as a starting point and confirm the current figure in the estoppel.
Wild Pines owners in Buildings A, B, C and D pay the Wild Pines of Bonita Bay Condominium Association (Sunbiz N09208); Building E owners pay Wild Pines of Bonita Bay, Building “E”, Condominium Association (Sunbiz N21267). Under Florida’s Condominium Act the association insures the condominium property as originally installed (§718.111, Florida Statutes) and funds reserves and repairs through the budget (§718.112). What the Wild Pines assessment covers beyond that, and the reserve and insurance lines behind it, are set by the declaration and the annual budget, which come in the resale disclosure package. The Wild Pines rules make lanais, front doors and windows the owner’s responsibility (Wild Pines of Bonita Bay, Rules and Regulations).
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 (§720.401, Florida Statutes). The BBCA’s December 2025 newsletter confirms that the 2026 annual assessment was billed through the BBCA website by December 31, 2025, without printing the amount (BBCA newsletter, December 2025). The master assessment funds the roads, streetlights, lakes and stormwater, the parks, the Private Beach, the Community Patrol and Design Review (BBCA, Community Association). The BBCA’s February 2025 board recap reports a Hotwire contract amendment raising community internet speeds to 500/500 Mbps and holding the service at essentially the owners’ 2025 price through 2034 (BBCA February 20, 2025 board recap).
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. A Wild Pines owner who never joins pays nothing to the Club.
Bonita Bay has no Community Development District and no special taxing district: Lee County’s official special districts list names no Bonita Bay district of any kind (Lee County, Special Districts). A Wild Pines tax bill carries no CDD bond or operations line arising from Bonita Bay itself.
Budget for the association’s estoppel certificate and any transfer or application fee the declaration allows, plus any Bonita Bay resale charge. The Wild Pines rules add a $50 lease application for leases longer than three months. Florida caps estoppel certificate fees by statute (§718.116). The BBCA resale charge is not published; confirm it in the estoppel certificate.
Special assessments at Wild Pines come from two directions: the Bonita Bay Community Association, which levied a $500 per-unit Private Beach assessment in 2025, and the Wild Pines condominium associations, whose repair programs for Building D (2025) and Building B (2026) are funded as the association decides. The estoppel certificate is the one document that states what is levied, due or pending on a specific condo.
On March 20, 2025 the BBCA board approved a $500 per-unit special assessment for the Private Beach rebuild, due June 30, 2025 (Wild Pines of Bonita Bay, recap of the BBCA March 20, 2025 meetings). It applied to every Bonita Bay unit, Wild Pines included, and it is past; the estoppel confirms it is paid.
The association’s public notices describe the Building D and Building B lanai programs but do not state how either is funded. Florida law gives a buyer the tools to find out: the seller’s disclosure package under §718.503, the association’s official records under §718.111, and the estoppel certificate under §718.116. Before an offer, ask three questions: is a special assessment levied or pending for either lanai program or anything else, what is the per-unit amount and due date, and is the seller current.
Wild Pines condos are assessed by the Lee County Property Appraiser and billed by the Lee County Tax Collector at City of Bonita Springs millage (Lee County Property Appraiser; Lee County Tax Collector). A buyer who makes a Wild Pines condo their permanent Florida residence can file for the homestead exemption, and after the first year the Save Our Homes cap limits annual increases in the homestead’s assessed value; that benefit does not transfer to a buyer, so a new owner’s first bill resets from the market value. Look up the current bill for any condo by address before you offer.
Wild Pines governance runs through two recorded condominium declarations, two condominium associations and the Bonita Bay master Declaration: Buildings A to D under Official Records Book 1819, Page 1221, Building E under Official Records Book 1968, Page 3070, and every owner under the Bonita Bay Community Association’s Second Amended and Restated Declaration.
These are public records at the Lee County Clerk of Court, retrieved by book and page. They are the authoritative source for the use of units, leasing, pets, parking, alterations and any right of approval or first refusal at resale; the Wild Pines rules add that every owner and occupant must comply with the declaration, bylaws, articles and rules, with fines of up to $100 per violation, per day for a continuing violation (Wild Pines of Bonita Bay, Rules and Regulations). The association keeps its bylaws in an owners-only area of its website.
Every Wild Pines owner is also bound by the Bonita Bay master documents: the Second Amended and Restated Declaration of General Protective Covenants and Restrictions for Bonita Bay (Lee County Instrument 2011000142834, recorded June 22, 2011) and the Amended and Restated By-Laws of Bonita Bay Community Association, Inc. (Instrument 2020000126919, recorded June 4, 2020). The master Declaration requires prior written BBCA approval for exterior improvements (§9.2), delegates day-to-day use rules to the BBCA Rules and Regulations and Design Guidelines (§9.1), and requires a selling owner to deliver the §720.401 disclosure summary to the buyer (§12.13). The BBCA operates as a homeowners’ association under Chapter 720 (Sunbiz N07041), whose records and budget rules appear in §720.303.
Wild Pines is a Florida condominium governed by Chapter 718, Florida Statutes. Florida’s post-Surfside law (SB 4-D, 2022) added a milestone structural inspection for condominium buildings of three or more habitable stories (§553.899) and a structural integrity reserve study for the same buildings (§718.112). Buildings A to D are three-story buildings, so a buyer asks for both records and reads them; Building E’s units are numbered on two floors. Those reports are association records, available to owners and disclosed in the sale, and we never summarize what they say from the outside.
The Wild Pines association for Buildings A to D lists a professional management company at a Terrene Court office in Bonita Springs as its manager (Wild Pines of Bonita Bay, Contact), and the state register lists a separate manager of record for Building E. Estoppel requests go to the manager for the building you are buying in, and to the BBCA for the master estoppel.
Exterior changes at Wild Pines need approval at two levels: the Wild Pines association as condominium owner of the common elements, and the BBCA Design Review Department under §9.2 of the master Declaration. Remodels inside a condo are scheduled through the property manager: the Wild Pines rules bar remodels from November 1 to May 1 without board approval (except hurricane damage), require the property manager to approve subflooring, and make the owner’s contractor provide a dumpster where the manager directs (Wild Pines of Bonita Bay, Rules and Regulations).
Wild Pines is not a 55-and-over community on the public record we reviewed: the Wild Pines association’s published rules contain no age provision, its public notices address owners, renters and guests of any age, and nothing on the state condominium register or in the Bonita Bay master documents we read designates Wild Pines as housing for older persons. The recorded declarations govern, so a buyer confirms occupancy terms in the disclosure package before an offer.
In practice the buyer pool at Wild Pines is mixed: seasonal owners, full-time residents and investors. For a seller, an all-ages condominium means a wider buyer pool than a 55-and-over community, which matters in a market with a 177-day median time on market.
The rental rules at Wild Pines, as the association publishes them, set a seven-day minimum lease, require board approval with a $50 application for any lease longer than three months, require lease submission at least fourteen days before the lease starts, and require every lease to carry a hold harmless clause in the association’s favor (Wild Pines of Bonita Bay, Rules and Regulations).
The rules go further: every lease, whether the owner or a rental company writes it, must incorporate the association’s rules and regulations, and every rental unit must post them inside the condo. When an owner sells or leases, the owner files the association’s form with the property manager and provides a copy to the BBCA, and “Failure to record your lease with BBCA will result in a denial of access to amenities including the beach club and shuttle buses.” Owners must also give the property manager a key or the name of a home-watch contact.
A seven-day minimum is unusually short for Bonita Bay, where many condominiums use longer minimums, and it is a real differentiator for an investor or an owner who wants to rent a few weeks a year. The recorded declarations remain the governing documents, and the Building E declaration is a separate instrument, so a Building E buyer confirms its leasing terms in the Building E documents. Before any investment purchase, read the declaration’s leasing article, the current rules and any lease-count limit in the disclosure package.
Data updated: September 2026. The Wild Pines rental market is real but modest: the Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull shows three Wild Pines rental records in the 12 months to September 30, 2026 (all three active, none rented) with no asking rent recorded, and the June 2026 pull showed asking rents of $5,400 to $6,000 across two active listings and one lease.
Treat that as directional rather than a precise market rate: three records across a 105-condo village is a thin signal. What it confirms is that Wild Pines condos do rent seasonally and that the rents are meaningful against the village’s carrying costs. It is not a high-volume rental market, but the seven-day minimum in the association’s rules gives owners more options than most Bonita Bay condominiums.
The investor math, honestly framed. On a condo bought near the recent deed prices of $240,000 to $362,500, the realistic scenario is an owner who uses the condo part of the year and rents it seasonally while away. The stacked association fees, taxes and HO-6 insurance are the dominant costs and compress net yield, so Wild Pines is best treated as a lifestyle asset that partly pays its own way, not a passive-income investment. The strongest case is the owner-user hybrid.
Property management. Owners who rent use seasonal and annual property managers in the Bonita Springs area; confirm current demand and realistic occupancy with a manager, and confirm the rules against the recorded declaration. McGreevy and Comisar can introduce Wild Pines owners to local management firms.
The pet rules at Wild Pines, as the association publishes them, require every pet to be leashed, require owners to use the dog stations and pick up after their pets, bar leaving pets unattended on lanais, and provide that repeated violations for excessive barking “will result in the pet being removed from the premises” (Wild Pines of Bonita Bay, Rules and Regulations).
The published rules state no weight, breed or number limit. Any such limit lives in the recorded declaration for Buildings A to D (OR 1819, PG 1221) or Building E (OR 1968, PG 3070), which govern and are read in the disclosure package before an offer. Tenants’ pets are governed by the same documents and by the lease. Inside Bonita Bay, the parks carry pet water stations and the paths are shared with walkers and cyclists, so leashes apply everywhere (BBCA, The Parks of Bonita Bay).
Wild Pines takes its name from its setting: low-rise buildings among pines and a lake inside a master-planned community that the Bonita Bay Community Association says developed less than half of its 2,400 acres, leaving the rest to “exist as originally intended” (BBCA, Style of Living).
The BBCA describes Bonita Bay as a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary (BBCA, Community Association; BBCA Awards and Recognitions 2026) and “one of only 14 Audubon certified communities” (BBCA Media Brochure, January 2026). The community lies between Spring Creek to the north, the Imperial River to the south and Estero Bay to the west, with a slough running the length of the property (BBCA, Vision). The BBCA’s 2025 Living with Nature plans covered stormwater improvements, salt-tolerant littoral plantings, swale restoration and wetland restoration in the South and North Sloughs (BBCA March 20, 2025 meetings recap), and the BBCA’s wildlife rescue program had helped about 40 native animals by mid-2025 (BBCA June 19, 2025 board recap).
For buyers from northern cities and suburbs, living where native vegetation and wildlife are deliberately preserved rather than manicured away is often the most unexpectedly compelling part of Bonita Bay ownership, and at Wild Pines the name is literally true.
The storm record at Wild Pines is thin but clear on one point: the documented Hurricane Ian loss that touched every Wild Pines owner was the BBCA Private Beach, which Ian destroyed in September 2022 and the BBCA rebuilt and reopened in November 2025. After Helene and Milton in 2024, the Wild Pines association reported that the village had weathered both storms.
Inside Bonita Bay, the BBCA records that its Private Beach “sustained total destruction during Hurricane Ian” (BBCA, Private Beach), and the Bonita Bay Club’s update of October 13, 2022 described a flooded cart barn and course bridges on the Bay Island and Marsh courses that were “structurally undrivable” (Bonita Bay Club, Hurricane Ian update). Across Bonita Springs, Ian’s surge came up the Imperial River and flooded homes along the river and creeks (WUSF, October 1, 2022). We found no public primary source describing Ian damage to the Wild Pines buildings themselves, so a buyer asks the association for its Ian repair and insurance-claim history and reads the answer in the official records. The National Hurricane Center’s report is the official record of the storm (NHC, Hurricane Ian Tropical Cyclone Report), and the City keeps its Ian recovery information in one place (City of Bonita Springs, Hurricane Ian).
On October 31, 2024 the Wild Pines association posted that “The resilience of Wild Pines was put to the test as it successfully weathered two significant storms”, with clean-up continuing and “substantial quantities of sand removed” (Wild Pines of Bonita Bay, We Weathered the Storm). The City of Bonita Springs recorded destructive coastal surge, tornadoes and wind damage citywide during Milton (City of Bonita Springs, Tropical Storm Milton), and the National Hurricane Center’s reports are the official record of both storms (NHC, Helene; NHC, Milton). The BBCA’s February 2025 recap counted $156,000 of Helene and Milton sand removal among the Private Beach change orders (BBCA February 20, 2025 board recap).
The Wild Pines association reposts the BBCA’s storm guidance: sign up for BBCA emergency text notifications and for AlertLee, Lee County’s mass notification system, and use the City of Bonita Springs Hurricane Guide (Wild Pines of Bonita Bay, Storm Ready). Lee County’s evacuation page explains the zones and the order in which they are called (Lee County, Know Your Evacuation Zone), and the state’s lookup confirms a zone by address (Florida Division of Emergency Management, Know Your Zone).
Every Wild Pines address we measured sits in FEMA’s shaded Zone X, the 0.2% annual chance flood hazard area in the coastal zone, outside the Special Flood Hazard Area and with no base flood elevation, on FIRM panel 12071C0652G, effective November 17, 2022, inside the City of Bonita Springs (NFIP community 120680) and Lee County Evacuation Zone A.
On September 29, 2026 we placed each Wild Pines address on Lee County’s official 911 address points and queried FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer (FEMA NFHL) and Lee County’s evacuation zone layer (Lee County EvacuationZones) at each point:
Wild Pines address (building) | FEMA zone | Special Flood Hazard Area | Base flood elevation | FIRM panel (effective) | Evacuation zone |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
3661 Wild Pines Dr (A) | X, shaded, 0.2% annual chance (coastal) | No | None | 12071C0652G (Nov 17, 2022) | A |
3651 Wild Pines Dr (B) | X, shaded, 0.2% annual chance (coastal) | No | None | 12071C0652G (Nov 17, 2022) | A |
3641 Wild Pines Dr (C) | X, shaded, 0.2% annual chance (coastal) | No | None | 12071C0652G (Nov 17, 2022) | A |
3631 Wild Pines Dr (D) | X, shaded, 0.2% annual chance (coastal) | No | None | 12071C0652G (Nov 17, 2022) | A |
3621 Wild Pines Dr (E) | X, shaded, 0.2% annual chance (coastal) | No | None | 12071C0652G (Nov 17, 2022) | A |
3611 Wild Pines Dr (E) | X, shaded, 0.2% annual chance (coastal) | No | None | 12071C0652G (Nov 17, 2022) | A |
3600 Wild Pines Dr (common elements) | X, shaded, 0.2% annual chance (coastal) | No | None | 12071C0652G (Nov 17, 2022) | A |
That is a better flood position than most of Bonita Bay: a 64-point grid over the community, run for our Bonita Bay research on the same layer, found shaded Zone X at only five points and mostly Zone AE with base flood elevations of 9 to 11 feet, including the tower corridor. For comparison, three Sandpiper addresses on Lake Forest Drive measured Zone AE with a base flood elevation of 10 feet in our same-day queries.
The Wild Pines association reported on July 17, 2023 that FEMA had issued a Letter of Map Amendment to the Wild Pines Condominium Association “exempting all 4 buildings (A-D) from the floodplain”, with the documents held in the owners’ login area (Wild Pines of Bonita Bay, LOMA from FEMA). If you finance a Buildings A to D condo or buy flood insurance, ask the seller or the association for the letter for your building; a lender’s flood determination may ask for it.
FEMA’s Letter of Final Determination of September 2, 2026 sets a March 2, 2027 effective date for a revision of six unincorporated Lee County panels, 12071C0576, 0577, 0578, 0579, 0581 and 0583 (Lee County, 2026/2027 FEMA map changes; FEMA Letter of Final Determination). Wild Pines’ panel, 12071C0652G, is not among them, but the countywide Flood Insurance Study that lists the City of Bonita Springs is being reissued with the same date (FIS Volume 1, 12071CV001D), so check the address again after March 2027.
The City of Bonita Springs holds a Community Rating System Class 5, worth a 25% discount on NFIP flood policies, and FEMA confirmed on November 21, 2024 that the City keeps it after the post-Ian review (City of Bonita Springs, FEMA CRS; City news release; WGCU, November 21, 2024). The City’s floodplain plan progress report tracks the program behind the rating (City of Bonita Springs, CRS Floodplain Management Plan FY 2025-26), and City Ordinance 22-05 sets the flood rules that apply to Wild Pines permits (Ordinance 22-05). The City’s flood page adds that each foot a building sits above the required base flood elevation cuts annual premiums by nearly 50% (City of Bonita Springs, Flood Protection Information).
Every Wild Pines point returned Lee County Evacuation Zone A. Zone A “will be the first area ordered to evacuate”, often for any named storm approaching from the Gulf (Lee County, Zone A fact sheet). A shaded Zone X flood designation does not change the evacuation call: Wild Pines owners plan to leave when Zone A is ordered out.
A Wild Pines owner’s insurance has two layers. The association insures the condominium property as originally installed (§718.111), and the owner carries an HO-6 policy for interior finishes, contents, loss assessment and liability. Because the buildings sit outside the Special Flood Hazard Area, federal law does not require flood insurance for a federally backed mortgage on these buildings (Lee County, Mandatory Flood Insurance), but Zone X is not zero risk and Wild Pines sits in Evacuation Zone A, so many owners still price a policy. A wind mitigation inspection documents hurricane features that can lower the HO-6 premium, and the Florida Department of Financial Services’ My Safe Florida Home program explains the state’s hardening grants (My Safe Florida Home). Get quotes during your inspection period, not after.
Wild Pines is served by the School District of Lee County, which uses residential choice with proximity zones rather than fixed assignments. Under the district’s most recent published plan, Bonita Springs families rank elementary schools in Proximity Zone Q and middle schools in Zone GG, and rank high schools in the South choice zone.
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.
The School Board approved the 2026-2027 Student Enrollment Plan on December 1, 2025 (School District of Lee County, School Zones); use the district’s address locator for a specific Wild Pines address (Lee County school locator). Many Wild Pines buyers have no school-age children at home, but schools matter for resale to families and for any buyer with children.
Wild Pines is inside the incorporated City of Bonita Springs, which residents voted to incorporate in 1999, so building permits come from the City of Bonita Springs Community Development Department, not Lee County. The City’s most visible current permit subject at Wild Pines is the association’s Building B lanai repair program at 3651 Wild Pines Drive.
Apply for a permit through the City’s Community Development Department (City of Bonita Springs, Apply for a Building Permit; City of Bonita Springs Community Development). Inside a Wild Pines condo, work also needs the association’s scheduling and, for anything exterior, BBCA Design Review. The City’s substantial improvement toolkit explains how the 50% rule applies to buildings in flood zones (City of Bonita Springs, Substantial Improvement Toolkit). Buyers considering a Building B condo should look up the permit record for 3651 Wild Pines Drive before the inspection period ends. The City’s history page records the 1999 incorporation vote (City of Bonita Springs, History).
Wild Pines sits in the interior of the built-out Bonita Bay planned development, beside the Club’s Bonita Springs campus. The newest Bonita Bay tower, Omega, carries a 2022 year built on the county roll, and every Wild Pines sale is a resale of one of the same 105 condos. Outside the gates, US 41 and Bonita Beach Road carry the commercial change; the City’s zoning map book and comprehensive plan show the districts around Bonita Bay (City of Bonita Springs, Zoning District Map Book; Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use Element). Inside the gates, the BBCA’s 2025 commercial gate project was designed to improve gate traffic flow and reduce backups on US 41 during season (BBCA June 19, 2025 board recap).
Daily life at Wild Pines runs on City of Bonita Springs services and the association’s own rules: Florida Power and Light for electricity, Bonita Springs Utilities for water and wastewater, the Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue District for fire and EMS, association-arranged dumpster and recycling service, and the BBCA’s gated entrances and Community Patrol.
The Wild Pines rules bar car covers and prohibit commercial vehicles, campers, trailers, motor homes and buses from parking in the Wild Pines lot overnight. Bikes must be registered with the property manager, carry the association’s numbered sticker and be kept under the back stairwells or on the lot’s bike racks; unregistered bikes are removed at the fall inspection. Grills are shared: clean them, cover them and shut off the tank valve after use (Wild Pines of Bonita Bay, Rules and Regulations).
Bonita Bay’s entrances are staffed around the clock, at the main gate and the quieter northern entrance (BBCA, Community Association). The Wild Pines rules tie a renter’s access to BBCA amenities to recording the lease with the BBCA.
Straight-line distances from the Wild Pines address points, measured on Lee County’s 911 address layer: about 0.15 mile to the Bonita Bay Club’s address at 26660 Country Club Drive, about 0.4 mile to the BBCA office at 3451 Bonita Bay Boulevard, and about 2.8 miles to the McGreevy and Comisar office at 24031 S Tamiami Trl #101. Driving distances are longer and vary with the gate you use.
Wild Pines compares with Bonita Bay’s other low-rise condominium villages as the smallest, oldest and lowest-priced of them: 581 to 1,130 square feet built from 1985 to 1989, against Sandpiper’s 1,371 to 1,593 square feet (1991 to 1994), Greenbriar’s 1,238 to 1,923 (1989 to 1998) and Bay Pointe’s 1,555 to 2,007 (1997 to 2000).
Wild Pines is the first rung of a ladder that runs through the 1990s coach-home villages and the single-family neighborhoods to the eight towers on Bonita Bay Boulevard. The towers’ county medians run into the millions (Tavira’s 36-month median is $2,700,000), which is why many owners start at Wild Pines, learn the community, and move within Bonita Bay later.
Buyers at this price point also look at condominium villages in Pelican Landing and The Brooks, other gated master-planned communities in south Lee County. Each has its own club structure, fee stack and flood profile. What Wild Pines combines is the Bonita Bay set: staffed entrances, a private Gulf-front beach with a year-round shuttle, twelve miles of paths, three waterfront parks, an optional member-owned club, and a condo village measured outside the Special Flood Hazard Area, at the lowest condominium entry price inside the gates.
Wild Pines and Sandpiper are Bonita Bay’s two entry-price condominium villages. Wild Pines is older and smaller (1985 to 1989, median 995 square feet), measures shaded Zone X and allows seven-day leases under its published rules; Sandpiper is newer and larger (1991 to 1994, median 1,393 square feet), measures Zone AE and sells faster on the MLS.
Data updated: September 2026. The table uses the Lee County parcel roll and qualified-deed file (index built September 29, 2026), the Florida condominium register, FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer (our point queries on September 29, 2026) and the Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull, so the two villages are compared on the same records and the same dates.

Choose Wild Pines if the lowest condominium entry into Bonita Bay matters more than space, a one-bedroom or two-bedroom of 581 to 1,130 square feet fits how you live, you want a building measured outside the Special Flood Hazard Area, or you want the flexibility of a seven-day minimum lease. Choose Sandpiper if you want about 1,400 to 1,600 square feet in a two-story coach home, newer construction, and a market where 11 deeds in 12 months and a 42-day MLS median give a clear read on value, and you are comfortable with Zone AE flood insurance. Buyers who want more space at a step up should also tour Greenbriar.

Owning in Wild Pines means the most affordable condominium way into gated Bonita Bay, buildings measured outside the Special Flood Hazard Area and a seven-day minimum lease, balanced against small condos in 1980s buildings, an active lanai repair program, unpublished association costs and a slow resale market. As Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, we would rather you make the right decision than the fast one.
If you’re searching for a Wild Pines listing agent, or thinking, ‘I need someone to sell my Wild Pines home…’, start with the record: 16 qualified Wild Pines deeds in 36 months at a $375,000 median, six in the last 12 months from $240,000 to $362,500, and a 177-day MLS median. McGreevy and Comisar price, prepare and market Wild Pines condos from that record, not from a Bonita Bay average.
Our credentials as your Wild Pines listing agent:
In the last 12 months Wild Pines has seen 6 resales in the Lee County qualified-deed record, at $260,000, $240,000, $360,000, $362,500, $320,100 and $290,000, for $1,832,600 in volume. Over the 36-month window the record shows 16 resales and $6,175,100 in volume. The Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull shows a median of 177 days on market for the seven closings in the 12 months to September 30, 2026, and a median sale-to-list ratio of 93.5%.
Five things. First, the reset: a Wild Pines price has to be built from the six deeds recorded since November 2025, not the 2022 peak or the 2024 sales. Second, building matters: a Building B seller discloses the 2026 lanai program, and a Building E seller works with a different association and declaration. Third, the estoppel: a clean, early estoppel from the right association, plus the BBCA’s, removes the most common reason Wild Pines deals wobble. Fourth, the seven-day minimum lease is a selling point for investor buyers, and a documented rental history helps. Fifth, Bonita Bay’s open house and sign rules are specific: open houses need 72 hours’ notice to the BBCA with the listing agreement, run Monday to Saturday 9 to 5 and Sunday 1 to 4, use the BBCA sign standard, and allow no SOLD signs (BBCA Open House Guidelines).

Price it from the six qualified Wild Pines deeds since November 2025, $240,000 to $362,500, and adjust for plan, floor, view, condition and building. Then check it against the 36-month record of 16 deeds at a $375,000 median, remembering that the older deeds in that window were higher. A price built from a 2022 or 2024 deed will overshoot the current market.
Slowly. The Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull shows a median of 177 days on market for Wild Pines’ seven closings in the 12 months to September 30, 2026, the slowest figure among the low-rise condo villages on this page except Bay Pointe. Correctly priced, well-presented condos move; condos priced off the old peak sit.
The estoppel certificates from the Wild Pines association for your building and from the BBCA, the condominium disclosure package, the association’s latest financial statements and budget, the milestone inspection and reserve study records, your unit’s insurance and wind mitigation reports, and for Buildings A to D the 2023 Letter of Map Amendment.
The published Wild Pines rules require an owner who sells to file the association’s form with the property manager and give the BBCA a copy. Any right of approval or first refusal at resale would come from the recorded declaration, which we read at listing so nothing surprises your closing date.
It changes the conversation, not the value of a finished lanai. Disclose it up front, give buyers the association’s latest update and the estoppel, and show what the finished work replaces. Once the program is complete, a rebuilt lanai with new railings and screens is a selling point.

Wild Pines is a village where specifics decide the price: which building, which floor, which of the four plans, what the lanai and windows look like, whether the condo has been updated since the 1980s, and whether the estoppel is clean. Buyers moving from out of state often decide from photos, video and documents before they visit, so the listing has to explain the association layers, the flood record, the lease rules and the repair programs in plain language. That is the work we do on every Bonita Bay listing.

The buyer questions below are the ones Wild Pines buyers ask us most, answered from the county roll and deed file, the association’s published rules and notices, the BBCA’s public pages, FEMA’s flood layer and the Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull, with the document that settles each point named in the answer.
Wild Pines is a 105-condo low-rise condominium village inside the gated master-planned community of Bonita Bay in Bonita Springs, Florida. Its condos sit at six addresses on Wild Pines Drive, were built from 1985 to 1989, and run from 581 to 1,130 square feet. Buildings A to D form one condominium and Building E a second, each with its own association, and every owner also belongs to the Bonita Bay Community Association.
Wild Pines has 105 condominiums on the Lee County roll: 21 in each of Buildings A to D at 3661, 3651, 3641 and 3631 Wild Pines Drive (84 in all, matching the state register’s 84-unit main condominium) and 21 in Building E, split between 3621 (12) and 3611 (9). A 106th parcel at 3600 Wild Pines Drive holds the common elements.
Wild Pines was built from 1985 to 1989 according to the county roll: Building A in 1985, Buildings B, C and D in 1986, and Building E in 1989. The association for Buildings A to D was incorporated on May 9, 1985, the main condominium was recorded on December 17, 1985, and Building E was recorded as a separate condominium on February 5, 1988.
Wild Pines offers four plans on the county roll: a 581-square-foot one-bedroom (12 condos in Buildings A to D), an 839-square-foot two-bedroom (24 in A to D), a 995-square-foot two-bedroom (20 in Building E, plus one of 1,051 square feet), and a 1,130-square-foot two-bedroom (48 in A to D), the most common plan. Every two-bedroom plan has two baths.
Six Wild Pines condos sold in the last 12 months at qualified deed prices of $240,000 to $362,500, and the Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull puts the median of seven sales in the 12 months to September 30, 2026, including one August 2026 closing, at $315,000. Over the 36 months since September 2023 the county record shows 16 resales at a $375,000 median, with a range of $240,000 to $535,000.
Wild Pines condos have been slow to sell: the Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull shows a median of 177 days on market for the seven closings in the 12 months to September 30, 2026, and the three active listings on September 30, 2026 had a median of 175 days. Correctly priced condos in good condition move faster than the median suggests.
Wild Pines has favored buyers over the past year: a 177-day median time on market, a 93.5% median sale-to-list ratio in the September 2026 MLS pull, and recent deeds well below the 2022 and 2024 levels. Three active listings against seven closings a year is about five months of supply, so well-priced condos still sell and buyers have room to negotiate on the rest.
Two Wild Pines listings in June 2026 reported total association fees of about $18,260 a year, roughly $1,520 a month (Southwest Florida MLS listings, June 2026, listing-reported). Neither the Wild Pines associations nor the Bonita Bay Community Association publish current assessments, so the estoppel certificate for the specific condo is the figure to rely on, including how the total splits between the layers.
There is no Community Development District and no special taxing district at Wild Pines or anywhere in Bonita Bay. Lee County’s official special districts list names no Bonita Bay district of any kind, so a Wild Pines tax bill carries no CDD bond or operations line arising from Bonita Bay. Owners pay private association assessments instead.
You do not have to join the Bonita Bay Club to buy in Wild Pines. The Club describes itself as a separate entity within Bonita Bay, and membership is optional and separate from home ownership. The Club does not publish initiation fees or dues on its public website; its membership office provides the current schedule to anyone considering joining.
The Wild Pines association’s Building B construction notice directs owners to posters “at elevators”, which confirms elevator service in the three-story buildings. We found no public primary source on Building E’s elevator arrangement, and Building E’s units are numbered on two floors, so a buyer who needs an elevator confirms it for the specific building on the tour.
Wild Pines has its own pool and pool house, a clubhouse with bathrooms shared by Buildings A to E, barbecue grills, bike racks and dog stations, according to the association’s rules. Every owner also has the BBCA amenities: staffed entrances, twelve miles of paths, Estero Bay, Riverwalk and Spring Creek parks, and the Private Beach with its year-round shuttle.
Wild Pines residents use the Bonita Bay Private Beach, the BBCA’s Gulf-front facility off Hickory Boulevard, which the BBCA describes as 10 minutes from gate to gate and serves with a year-round shuttle. The beach reopened in November 2025 after Hurricane Ian destroyed the original facility. Renters keep beach and shuttle access only if the lease is recorded with the BBCA.
Weekly rentals are allowed at Wild Pines under the association’s published rules, which set a seven-day minimum lease. Leases longer than three months need board approval after a $50 application, submitted at least fourteen days before the lease begins, and every lease needs the association’s hold harmless clause. The recorded declaration governs, so an investor reads its leasing article before buying.
Pets are addressed in the Wild Pines rules: every pet must be leashed, owners use the dog stations and pick up after pets, pets may not be left unattended on lanais, and repeated barking violations can lead to a pet’s removal. The published rules state no weight, breed or number limit; any such limit is in the recorded declaration, read in the disclosure package.
Every Wild Pines address we measured on September 29, 2026 sits in FEMA shaded Zone X, the 0.2% annual chance flood area, outside the Special Flood Hazard Area and with no base flood elevation, on panel 12071C0652G effective November 17, 2022. The association also reports a 2023 FEMA Letter of Map Amendment for Buildings A to D.
Flood insurance is not federally required for a federally backed mortgage on a building outside the Special Flood Hazard Area, which is where every Wild Pines address measures. Zone X is not zero risk, and Wild Pines is in Evacuation Zone A, so many owners still buy a policy, and the City’s CRS Class 5 rating gives NFIP policies a 25% discount.
Wild Pines is in Lee County Evacuation Zone A at every address we tested, with a storm surge zone of 1 on the county’s evacuation layer. Zone A is the first area ordered to evacuate, often for any named storm approaching from the Gulf, so Wild Pines owners plan to leave when Zone A is called regardless of the shaded Zone X flood designation.
The documented Ian loss that touched every Wild Pines owner was the BBCA Private Beach, destroyed in 2022, rebuilt, and reopened in November 2025, with a $500 per-unit BBCA assessment due in June 2025. We found no public primary source describing Ian damage to the Wild Pines buildings, so buyers ask the association for its repair and insurance-claim history.
Building B at 3651 Wild Pines Drive is in a structural lanai repair program that began May 26, 2026, with completion anticipated around September 30, 2026. The association’s scope removes screens and railings on all 21 lanais, strips upper-floor lanai floors to concrete, waterproofs the slabs and installs new railings and screens. Building D had the same work in 2025.
Florida’s post-Surfside law applies to Wild Pines’ three-story Buildings A to D: condominium buildings of three or more habitable stories need a milestone structural inspection under §553.899 and a structural integrity reserve study under §718.112. A buyer asks the association for both records and reads them; they are association records disclosed in the sale, not published online.
Wild Pines is not designated as 55-and-over housing on the public record we reviewed. The association’s published rules contain no age provision, and nothing we read on the state condominium register or in the Bonita Bay master documents restricts ownership or occupancy by age. The recorded declarations govern, so confirm occupancy terms in the disclosure package before an offer.
Wild Pines is inside gated Bonita Bay, whose entrances the BBCA staffs around the clock, at the main gate and the quieter northern entrance, backed by a Community Patrol. We found no separate Wild Pines gate in the association’s public materials; once inside Bonita Bay, residents reach Wild Pines Drive on the community roads the BBCA maintains.
Wild Pines families rank Lee County public schools within their proximity zones: under the district’s most recent published plan, elementary Zone Q includes Spring Creek Elementary, middle Zone GG includes Bonita Springs Middle, and the South high school zone includes Bonita Springs High. Confirm a specific address with the School District of Lee County’s zone locator.
The City of Bonita Springs issues building permits for Wild Pines, because Bonita Bay is inside the incorporated city, not unincorporated Lee County. Work inside a Wild Pines condo also goes through the association’s property manager, who schedules remodels and approves subflooring, and any exterior change needs BBCA Design Review approval under the master Declaration.
Bonita Bay homes, including those in Wild Pines, are wired with fiber-to-the-home and Hotwire’s Fision TV+, according to the BBCA. The BBCA’s February 2025 board recap reported a contract amendment raising speeds to 500/500 Mbps and holding the service at essentially the owners’ 2025 price through 2034; the estoppel shows how the service is billed.
The Wild Pines rules bar car covers and prohibit commercial vehicles, campers, trailers, motor homes and buses from parking overnight in the Wild Pines lot. During the lanai repair programs the association has also asked owners to park away from the building under construction. Assigned spaces and any carports are set by the declaration and confirmed in the disclosure package.
McGreevy and Comisar know Wild Pines at the level of building, plan and document: we tracked every qualified deed in the county record, measured the flood zone at all six addresses and read the association’s rules and notices. As Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, we help buyers read the estoppels, the repair notices and the leasing rules before the offer.
The seller questions below come from Wild Pines owners and from the questions buyers ask about Wild Pines listings. Each answer uses the county deed record, the Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull, the association’s published rules and notices and Florida law, so a seller can plan the price, the paperwork and the timeline before listing.
Your Wild Pines condo’s value starts from the six qualified deeds recorded in the last 12 months, $240,000 to $362,500, then moves with its plan, floor, view, condition and building. A 581-square-foot one-bedroom, an 839-square-foot two-bedroom, a Building E condo and a 1,130-square-foot condo each price differently, and renovation and lanai condition can move a price tens of thousands of dollars.
Six Wild Pines condos sold in the last 12 months in the county’s qualified-deed record: $260,000 and $240,000 in November 2025, $360,000 and $362,500 in March 2026, and $320,100 and $290,000 in May 2026, for $1,832,600 in total. The Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull shows those six closings plus a seventh, $315,000 on August 27, 2026, with a median of $315,000 across the seven.
Six Wild Pines condos sold in the past year in the Lee County qualified-deed record since September 2025, and the Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull counts seven in the 12 months to September 30, 2026. That is under seven percent of the village’s 105 condos, a thin resale market in which each new sale moves the read on value.
Wild Pines prices are lower than in 2022 because the market reset: 19 qualified deeds recorded in 2022, nine of them at $525,000 or more, with a high of $642,000, while the last 12 months ranged from $240,000 to $362,500. The deed record does not state the cause, so sellers price from the recent deeds rather than the peak.
The six qualified deeds recorded since November 2025 should set your price first, adjusted for plan and condition, with the 16 deeds of the 36-month window as context. Match your plan where you can: three 1,130-square-foot condos sold from $260,000 to $360,000, two Building E condos at $290,000 and $362,500, and one 839-square-foot condo at $240,000.
The county deed prices and the Southwest Florida MLS agree for Wild Pines over the last year: six of the seven MLS closings in the September 2026 pull match the six county deeds, from $240,000 to $362,500; the seventh closed on August 27, 2026, after the newest sale in the county file. The county records the deed consideration and the MLS records the reported closing price, so if they ever differ we publish the deed figure and name the MLS figure with its date.
Plan for a longer sale than in most of Bonita Bay: the Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull shows a median of 177 days on market for Wild Pines’ seven closings in the 12 months to September 30, 2026. Correct pricing from the recent deeds, a clean estoppel and good presentation shorten that time; overpricing lengthens it.
The Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull puts the median Wild Pines sale-to-list ratio at 93.5%, meaning the typical sale closed about six and a half percent under its last asking price. Sellers who start close to the recent deeds tend to finish closer to their asking price than sellers who start high and reduce.
Now is a workable time to sell a Wild Pines condo for sellers who price to the record: six deeds in the last 12 months at $240,000 to $362,500, three active listings on September 30, 2026, and about five months of supply at the 12-month pace. Sellers who need the 2022 or 2024 price should expect a long wait.
A Wild Pines condo is valued against Sandpiper on price per square foot as much as on price: Sandpiper’s larger, newer condos show an MLS median of $380,000 and $275 per square foot, while Wild Pines shows $315,000 and $286 per square foot in the same September 2026 pull. Buyers comparing the two weigh space and flood zone.
Your Wild Pines floor plan changes your price because buyers compare like with like: 581-square-foot one-bedrooms, 839-square-foot and 995-square-foot two-bedrooms, and 1,130-square-foot two-bedrooms each draw a different buyer. The largest plan has the widest recent range, $260,000 to $360,000 over three sales, which shows how much condition matters within one plan.
Your floor and view affect your Wild Pines price, because buyers pay for light, privacy and the outlook over the lake, pines or golf side, and some buyers weigh stairs and elevator access. Buildings A to D have first-, second- and third-floor condos, and Building E has two floors, so we compare your condo with sales on similar floors where the record allows.
Being in Building B during the 2026 lanai program changes how buyers see the listing while work is under way, because lanais are closed and the job site is visible. Disclose the program, share the association’s latest update and the estoppel, and show buyers that a finished lanai with new railings and screens replaces the old one.
A Building E condo sells differently because Building E is its own condominium, with its own declaration (OR 1968, PG 3070) and association (Sunbiz N21267), and its condos are 995-square-foot two-bedrooms, one of 1,051 square feet. Buyers review a separate set of documents, and two Building E condos recorded in the last 12 months, at $290,000 and $362,500.
The seven-day minimum lease in the Wild Pines rules widens your buyer pool to investors and owner-users who plan to rent part of the year. Leases over three months need board approval with a $50 application. A documented rental history helps investor buyers, and the recorded declaration remains the governing text, so we confirm its leasing article at listing.
You can sell a Wild Pines condo with a tenant in place: Florida law lets a lease continue after a sale, and the buyer takes the condo subject to it. The association’s rules require leases over three months to be board-approved and every lease to be recorded with the BBCA, so give buyers the approved lease, its end date and the rental history.
Before listing a Wild Pines condo, order the estoppel certificates from your building’s association and the BBCA, confirm any special assessments, gather the declaration, rules, budget and financial statements for the disclosure package, and collect your wind mitigation, insurance and repair records. In Buildings A to D, find the 2023 Letter of Map Amendment for your building.
A Wild Pines seller delivers the condominium disclosure documents Florida law requires under §718.503, including the declaration, bylaws, rules, budget and financial information, and under the Bonita Bay master Declaration also delivers the §720.401 disclosure summary for the BBCA. Known material facts, including the lanai repair programs and any pending assessment, belong in the disclosure.
The Wild Pines rules require a selling owner to file the association’s form with the property manager and give the BBCA a copy. Any right of approval or first refusal at resale would come from the recorded declaration for your building, Buildings A to D or Building E, which we read at listing so it never surprises your closing date.
A Wild Pines seller’s closing costs typically include Florida documentary stamp tax on the deed, the owner’s title insurance policy (in Lee County the seller customarily pays it, though the contract controls), estoppel fees capped by statute, any association transfer charge, recording and prorations, and commission. Any BBCA resale charge is not published and appears in the estoppel.
In Lee County the seller customarily pays for the buyer’s owner’s title insurance policy and chooses the closing agent, which applies to a Wild Pines sale. The purchase contract controls and can shift that cost, so we confirm who pays title when we negotiate the contract rather than assume the custom will hold.
The estoppel certificate for a Wild Pines condo shows the assessments due, any special assessment levied or pending, any unpaid amounts and the association’s charges, as §718.116 requires, and the BBCA’s estoppel does the same for the master assessment and any resale charge. Ordering both early lets you fix surprises before a buyer sees them.
You can hold an open house for your Wild Pines condo under the BBCA’s Open House Guidelines: hours are Monday to Saturday 9 to 5 and Sunday 1 to 4, and the listing agreement and request go to the BBCA with at least 72 hours’ notice. Signs follow the BBCA standard, and SOLD signs are not allowed.
Signs at Wild Pines follow the BBCA’s sign standard in its Open House Guidelines, which bar SOLD signs and bar signs on golf courses, on bike paths, at US 41 and Bonita Bay Boulevard, and at Bonita Bay Boulevard and Country Club Drive. Condominium common elements are also controlled by the association, so we place signage only where the BBCA and association rules allow.
You can sell a Wild Pines condo from out of state: disclosures and contracts are signed electronically, estoppels are ordered remotely, a local closing agent records the deed, and we coordinate photography, showings and access. The association already requires owners to leave a key or a home-watch contact with the property manager, which simplifies showings.
Selling a Wild Pines condo furnished suits investor and seasonal buyers who want a condo ready to rent under the seven-day minimum lease, especially with a documented rental history. If the furniture is dated or your likely buyer is a full-time resident, an unfurnished sale can present better. We advise from the condo’s condition and the buyers touring that season.
Renovating before selling a Wild Pines condo pays when it fixes what buyers discount hardest: dated kitchens and baths, worn floors, old windows and sliders, and an aging air conditioner. Remember the association’s rules: no remodels from November 1 to May 1 without board approval, subflooring approved by the property manager, and a contractor dumpster where the manager directs.
The flood zone helps Wild Pines sellers: every Wild Pines address measures shaded Zone X, outside the Special Flood Hazard Area, while much of Bonita Bay, including nearby Sandpiper, measures Zone AE. Buyers with federally backed mortgages are not required to carry flood insurance here, and the 2023 Letter of Map Amendment for Buildings A to D supports the point.
A Bonita Bay Club membership is optional and separate from the condo, so it neither blocks nor completes a Wild Pines sale. How a member’s own membership ends or transfers is set by the Club’s membership documents, which are not public, so ask the Club’s membership office before you list and tell buyers the Club is optional.
Prepare for inspection questions on a 1980s Wild Pines condo by gathering the age of your air conditioner and water heater, your AC service record (the association requires annual service by April 1), window and slider details, any electrical or plumbing updates with permits, and your wind mitigation report. Answering early keeps the inspection period short.
McGreevy and Comisar are the best listing agents for Wild Pines on the record: the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012, Top 1% nationally since 2008, and over $900 million in personal sales. For Wild Pines we tracked every qualified deed, measured the flood zone at every address and read the association’s rules and repair notices, and we price from that work.
Wild Pines buyers ask most about the association fees, the lanai repair programs, the flood zone, the leasing rules and the Club. A seller who can hand over the estoppel figures, the association’s latest construction update, the flood facts and the published rules at the first showing answers the questions that otherwise slow a Wild Pines sale.
The association’s public notices describe the Building B lanai repairs but do not say how they are funded, so a Wild Pines seller confirms the answer in the estoppel certificate, which must state any special assessment levied or pending. Disclose what the estoppel shows; buyers accept a known, dated figure far more readily than an open question.
Bonita Bay is a complete master-planned community established in 1985 on about 2,400 acres with 3,346 residences, according to the BBCA’s January 2026 brochure, and a Wild Pines owner benefits from everything the community has built since: the parks, the paths, the rebuilt Private Beach, the member-owned Club and the resident-owned marina.
Communities that provide their own amenity infrastructure, from beach access and parks to paths, security and an optional club, give buyers reasons to choose them that do not depend on what happens outside the gates. The BBCA reported $18.8 million in operating funds and $5.5 million in reserves at year-end 2024 (BBCA March 20, 2025 meetings recap), and the Club’s members approved a $110 million clubhouse project in May 2026.
Wild Pines has exactly 105 condos, and every sale is a resale. In the 36 months since September 2023 the county recorded 16 qualified Wild Pines sales, about five a year, so turnover is thin and each well-presented listing competes with only a handful of others; the Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull showed three.
For buyers who want the Bonita Bay life but are not ready for a tower or a single-family price, Wild Pines is the most attainable condominium door into the community. Many buyers start here, learn which parts of Bonita Bay they use, and move within the community later, keeping the relationships and routines they built. If you are sure about Bonita Bay but not yet about the product, Wild Pines is a low-friction way to begin.
Wild Pines sits inside the incorporated City of Bonita Springs, which residents voted to incorporate in 1999, so the City, not Lee County, handles permits, code enforcement and local planning, and the City’s CRS Class 5 flood rating sets the discount on Wild Pines owners’ NFIP policies.
Bonita Springs sits between Fort Myers and Naples, so Wild Pines owners reach the shopping, dining, healthcare and cultural life of both. Nearby emergency care includes the NCH Bonita freestanding emergency department at 24040 S. Tamiami Trail (NCH locations) and the Lee Health Coconut Point freestanding emergency department in Estero (South Florida Hospital News). For the city as a whole, see our Bonita Springs guide and the City’s own site (City of Bonita Springs).
Every Wild Pines fact on this page comes from a recorded instrument, a county, city, state or federal record, the Wild Pines of Bonita Bay association’s own public pages, the Bonita Bay Community Association or Bonita Bay Club’s published pages, a named news report, or the Southwest Florida MLS figures pulled September 30, 2026.
