We price your Casa Bonita I condo from the recorded sales of your own plan and floor band, and start the Board approval and estoppel the day you have a contract.
Updated October 2026 · Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar, Domain Realty · Market data from Lee County Property Appraiser and Florida Department of Revenue recorded sales, index built 1 October 2026; Southwest Florida MLS figures not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-10-01)
McGreevy and Comisar are the Bonita Springs listing team whose office sits on South Tamiami Trail, and this is our seller’s guide to Casa Bonita I at Bonita Beach, the 54-unit, Gulf-side condominium at 26000 Hickory Blvd on Little Hickory Island, described in full in our Casa Bonita I at Bonita Beach guide. It sits in the Bonita Beach strip of Bonita Springs, and it is not the Casa Bonita subdivision in Cape Coral or the restaurants that share the name in search results.
If you own one of the 54 condos, this page gives you every qualified sale of the last 60 months, the repeat sales since 2009, what a buyer will ask about the building’s documents, flood zone and insurance, the papers Florida law makes you deliver, and what a sale costs and nets. The association publishes its lease, purchase and renovation forms but keeps its declaration, rules and insurance pages behind an owner login, so the gaps are part of the story, and we name each one.
The Lee County Property Appraiser and the Florida Department of Revenue sale files record 8 qualified Casa Bonita I sales in the 60 months since October 2021, from $550,000 to $1,215,000, and the median of these 8 sales is $824,500. Sixty months is the longest standard window, and it still holds fewer than ten sales, because the 12, 24 and 36 month windows hold 1, 4 and 5. So this page lists every sale and never states a median as if it were a market. These are county records and not Southwest Florida MLS closings. Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-10-01).
To sell a Casa Bonita I condo in 2026, price it from the nearest recorded sale of your own plan and floor rather than the 8-sale median, line up the estoppel certificate and the documents a buyer is entitled to before the first showing, and plan the contract timeline around the board’s approval of your buyer, because the association’s published forms make approval part of every purchase.
Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser and Florida DOR recorded sales, index built 1 Oct 2026)
Casa Bonita I is not one product. Three floor plans of 1,058, 1,089 and 1,148 heated square feet repeat up eight floors, and the eight recorded sales of the last 60 months ran from $519.85 to $1,148.39 per heated square foot. Two condos of the same 1,058 square foot plan closed at $550,000 in May 2025 and $1,215,000 in November 2023, a gap of $665,000 inside one plan and 18 months apart in the record, so a seller who prices from the middle prices every condo wrongly.
These are the ten facts about selling a Casa Bonita I condo that matter most in October 2026, each drawn from the Lee County recorded sales, the association’s published forms, the FEMA and county map layers and Florida law, and each explained in the section that covers it.
This seller’s guide to Casa Bonita I at Bonita Beach runs from the recorded market to the sale-by-sale record, the price drivers, fees, insurance and disclosure questions buyers ask, a comparison with Casa Bonita II and the strip, a net sheet and the answers Casa Bonita I owners ask us most.

Honors and recognition:
We have held the Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008 ranking by refusing the shortcuts that win a listing and lose the sale. We will not price a 1,058 square foot condo off the $1,215,000 recorded for a condo of the same plan in 2023 without saying what else the record shows, quote a monthly fee the association has not published, or tell a buyer a rule is absent because we could not read it. A listing that has already answered the lender, the insurer and the board holds its price through the inspection period.
The Southwest Florida MLS has not been pulled for this page, so we do not know, and do not claim, any closing, listing or representation by McGreevy and Comisar inside Casa Bonita I. Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-10-01). Our case rests on the public record we have read for you, our results across Bonita Springs and Southwest Florida, and how we will run your sale.
The Casa Bonita I market is small and thin. The county record shows 8 qualified sales in the 60 months since October 2021, from $550,000 to $1,215,000, with a median of these 8 sales of $824,500, and only 1 qualified sale in the 12 months to 1 October 2026. Fewer than ten sales means this page lists them rather than leading with a median.
Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser and Florida DOR recorded sales, index built 1 Oct 2026)
The county sales index was built on 1 October 2026, and its newest recorded sale for this building is dated 8 June 2026. We follow one rule for a small building: lead with the first window of 12, 24, 36 or 60 months that holds ten or more qualified sales, and when none does, list every sale of the last 60 months and write a median only as the median of these sales. The table shows every window, with the count beside each figure.
| County window to 1 October 2026 | Qualified sales | Median price | Range | Median $ per heated sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last 12 months, since October 2025 | 1 | one sale, $850,000 | $850,000 | $780.53 |
| Last 24 months, since October 2024 | 4 | the median of these 4 sales, $824,500 | $550,000 to $950,000 | $767.87 |
| Last 36 months, since October 2023 | 5 | the median of these 5 sales, $850,000 | $550,000 to $1,215,000 | $780.53 |
| Last 60 months, since October 2021 | 8 | the median of these 8 sales, $824,500 | $550,000 to $1,215,000 | $767.87 |
No window reaches ten, so we publish no market median. The county file holds 127 qualified sales since 1973, and we use that count only to show how much history exists; an all-history median would say where the building has traded across five decades, not what a condo is worth today.
The Southwest Florida MLS carries the facts a deed cannot: days on market, sale-to-list ratio, active and pending listings, list-price history and months of supply. Closed sales, median price, days on market, sale-to-list, active listings, median list price and months of supply for this building: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-10-01). We show them on your valuation as soon as the pull is run.
The county file carries deed consideration, which is the amount stated in the recorded transfer, while the MLS carries the reported closing price, and the two can differ on a single sale. Qualified Florida Department of Revenue sales are a county record, not Southwest Florida MLS data, and we never average the two.
The county file holds 32 qualified Casa Bonita I sales since 2009, when the record becomes complete, and the years with the most are 2021 with 5 sales and 2011, 2015, 2023 and 2025 with 3 each. Years with none are 2013, 2022 and 2024. That is roughly two condos a year out of 54, so when yours is listed, a buyer has few recent comparables to measure it against, and the price you set carries more weight than it would in a larger building.
Casa Bonita I condos sold for $550,000 to $1,215,000 in the 60 months to 1 October 2026, and the four most recent qualified sales ran $950,000 in May 2025, $550,000 in May 2025, $799,000 in September 2025 and $850,000 in June 2026. Plan, floor and condition decide where a condo sits in that range.
Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser and Florida DOR recorded sales, index built 1 Oct 2026; heated square feet as the county records them)
Eight sales is too few for a median to hide any of them, so here is every one, by building address and with no unit numbers. The building address for all of them is 26000 Hickory Blvd, and the floor is the one the condo sits on.
| Recorded | Floor | Heated sq ft | Price | $ per sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 December 2021 | 5 | 1,089 | $775,000 | $711.66 |
| 2 June 2023 | 1 | 1,089 | $775,000 | $711.66 |
| 16 August 2023 | 3 | 1,089 | $1,025,000 | $941.23 |
| 20 November 2023 | 3 | 1,058 | $1,215,000 | $1,148.39 |
| 12 May 2025 | 7 | 1,148 | $950,000 | $827.53 |
| 22 May 2025 | 2 | 1,058 | $550,000 | $519.85 |
| 30 September 2025 | 6 | 1,058 | $799,000 | $755.20 |
| 8 June 2026 | 2 | 1,089 | $850,000 | $780.53 |
The median of these 8 sales is $824,500, the mean of the fourth and fifth sorted prices ($799,000 and $850,000), and the median price per square foot of these 8 sales is $767.87. The range is $550,000 to $1,215,000. Together the eight prices total $6,939,000, a mean of $867,375.
| Plan, heated sq ft | Units on the roll | Qualified sales since 2021 | Median of these sales |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,058 | 22 | 6 | $637,500, the median of these 6 sales |
| 1,089 | 16 | 4 | $812,500, the median of these 4 sales |
| 1,148 | 16 | 2 | $729,630 and $950,000, no median |
The 1,148 square foot plan has only two qualified sales since 2021, so we list them and publish no median. The 1,089 plan has the higher median of the two plans with enough sales, and the 1,058 plan, which accounts for 22 of the 54 condos, the lower, which a seller should test against a specific floor and condition before relying on it.
Most Casa Bonita I owners who bought and sold since 2009 sold for more. Of 7 pairs of consecutive qualified sales of the same condo with both dates in 2009 or later, 5 gained, one was flat and one lost, at a median change of +43.5 percent over a median hold of 4.89 years.
Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser and Florida DOR recorded sales, index built 1 Oct 2026; consecutive qualified sales of the same condo)
A repeat pair is two consecutive qualified sales of the same condo, both dated 2009 or later, where the record is complete. A qualified-only pair can skip a transfer the county did not count, so each is a comparison of two recorded sales and not proof of one owner’s whole hold.
| Condo | First sale | Second sale | Hold, years | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1,058 sq ft, floor 5 | August 2012, $547,500 | July 2015, $550,000 | 2.87 | +0.5% (+$2,500) |
| 1,058 sq ft, floor 8 | August 2009, $465,000 | October 2019, $375,000 | 10.17 | -19.4% (-$90,000) |
| 1,058 sq ft, floor 5 | April 2014, $470,000 | April 2021, $650,000 | 6.98 | +38.3% (+$180,000) |
| 1,089 sq ft, floor 5 | November 2019, $540,000 | December 2021, $775,000 | 2.03 | +43.5% (+$235,000) |
| 1,089 sq ft, floor 3 | September 2018, $655,000 | August 2023, $1,025,000 | 4.89 | +56.5% (+$370,000) |
| 1,058 sq ft, floor 3 | June 2021, $500,000 | November 2023, $1,215,000 | 2.46 | +143.0% (+$715,000) |
| 1,058 sq ft, floor 6 | July 2012, $470,000 | September 2025, $799,000 | 13.24 | +70.0% (+$329,000) |
The median dollar change of the seven is +$235,000. Three of the seven gains exceed $250,000 before selling costs. The record does not say what the owners paid in assessments or spent on improvements in between.
Take three things. An owner who bought in the 2010s and sold from 2021 on has usually sold higher. An owner who bought near the 2005 peak or in 2009 and sold in the 2010s or in 2019 sometimes sold lower, so your purchase date and price decide your outcome. And selling costs are a real subtraction: on a hold of 2.87 years at +0.5 percent, they exceed the gain.

A clear Casa Bonita I sale to walk through is a 1,058 square foot, two-bedroom, two-bath third-floor condo at 26000 Hickory Blvd that the county records selling for $500,000 in June 2021 and $1,215,000 in November 2023. It is a public-record sale, not ours, and it shows what a seller gained and what a seller should subtract before calling a sale a gain.
Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser and Florida DOR recorded sales for one condo, read 1 October 2026; sale costs are our estimates at the statutory and customary rates named in the cost section)
We use the county’s public record for this one condo and leave the unit number and the owners out, as we do throughout this page. The record gives dates, prices, size and bedrooms, and nothing about condition, view, financing, commission, credits or what the owner paid the association.
The first qualified sale was $500,000 on 4 June 2021 and the second $1,215,000 on 20 November 2023, a gain of $715,000 or 143.0 percent over 2.46 years, which is $472.59 and $1,148.39 per heated square foot on the same 1,058 square foot plan. The 2023 price is the highest in the 60-month window and $1,148.39 against the window median of $767.87 per square foot. The roll cannot tell us what changed in the condo between those dates, and we will not guess; a renovation, a better view or a motivated buyer are all possible, and none is in the record.
The record does not say which agents represented either party, and we do not claim this sale or any other Casa Bonita I sale. To see this walk-through for your condo, request a free Casa Bonita I condo valuation or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072. Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar are Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, and the buyer’s side of this market is in our Casa Bonita I buyer’s page.
We price a Casa Bonita I condo in four steps: match the record to your plan and floor, adjust for view, condition and what the association has approved, test the result against what a buyer’s lender, insurer and the board will read, and set a price with a written review date. The answer is a range from your own twins, not a median.
Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser and Florida DOR recorded sales, index built 1 Oct 2026)
The record is thin and the condos are not alike: 8 qualified sales in 60 months for 54 condos, on three plans from 1,058 to 1,148 square feet, at $519.85 to $1,148.39 per heated square foot.
Find the sales of your plan. The 1,058 square foot plan has 22 condos and 6 qualified sales since January 2021, the 1,089 plan has 16 condos and 4 sales, and the 1,148 plan has 16 condos and 2. A condo of the 1,148 plan has two comparables since 2021, $729,630 in September 2021 and $950,000 in May 2025, and no more, so we say how thin the support is and widen the search to the other plans with a stated adjustment.
The four 1,089 square foot sales since 2021 ran $775,000, $775,000, $850,000 and $1,025,000, a $250,000 spread on one plan, and the six 1,058 square foot sales ran $500,000 to $1,215,000, a $715,000 spread. We read a range with a reason behind each end. If your twin sold in 2021 or 2025 and others in 2023, the date alone moves your range.
The county does not record view, orientation, interior condition, whether the owner followed the association’s renovation plan, which hurricane protection is in place or what a condo’s flooring and bathrooms are. We adjust from your condo and your documents and show a buyer’s agent the reasoning line by line.
A price must survive the buyer’s lender, insurer and the board’s approval, so we test it against the budget, the reserve study or its absence, any open assessment and the flood and insurance questions below, and against the Casa Bonita I and Casa Bonita II listings a buyer will see beside yours. Active and pending listings, their list prices and days on market come from the Southwest Florida MLS. Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-10-01). We show them on your valuation and set a review date, usually three weeks after the first showing.

Plan, floor and condition move a Casa Bonita I condo’s value most, followed by the documents a buyer can read, the building’s age and its milestone and reserve posture, the rules on pets and rentals, and the flood zone. The county codes all 54 condos as Gulf-side, so the side of the road is not what separates one from another.
Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser and Florida DOR recorded sales, index built 1 Oct 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser roll of 27 September 2026)
The county roll codes the land as Gulf on all 54 unit parcels, and the building sits on the beach side of Hickory Blvd, so every condo is on the Gulf side. The roll does not record view or orientation, and we do not publish one. A seller should describe the view the condo has from the lanai, and a buyer will test it in person. The association describes beach gates at each end of the building, so owners walk to the sand through the building’s own gates.
The record does not show a clean floor premium. The five sales on floors 1 to 3 had a median of $780.53 per square foot and the three on floors 5 to 7 a median of $755.20, medians of these 5 and these 3 sales, but the lowest price per square foot ($519.85, floor 2) and the highest ($1,148.39, floor 3) are both on low floors. Eight sales cannot support a floor rule, and a condo’s condition is likely to explain more than its floor.
It is the likeliest explanation and the record cannot confirm it. The 1,058 square foot plan recorded $500,000 in June 2021 and $1,215,000 in November 2023 on the same floor, and $550,000 in May 2025 on a lower one. The association’s renovation form sets requirements that add cost to a renovation, including an owner-paid underlayment under non-carpeted floors from floor two up and a waterproof membrane on the lanai floor, so a renovated condo carries a documented spend. Keep the association’s approval and the contractor’s papers for any work.
Casa Bonita I does not publish its regular assessment, so we publish no monthly or quarterly dues figure. The documented fees are a $100 purchase application fee, a $75 Certificate of Approval fee and a $150 lease fee per tenant per year. The route to the real number is the estoppel certificate and the current budget, both of which you should order at listing.
Data updated: October 2026 (association forms and public pages read 1 October 2026; Florida Statutes sections 718.112, 718.116 and 718.503)
The association’s purchase application asks for a completed application, a copy of the purchase agreement, background consents, a $100 application fee payable to Casa Bonita I and a $75 fee for the Certificate of Approval payable to the management company, which is $175 in total. The lease application, updated 6 June 2026, states a $150 check per tenant per year. The association’s rental page states $150 as well. Neither document states who bears the purchase fees, so the contract decides, and we write the allocation in.
Florida Statutes section 718.112(2)(k) allows an association to charge a fee in connection with a sale or lease only if it must approve the transfer and the declaration, articles or bylaws provide for the fee, and it caps the fee at $150 per applicant, adjusted every five years, with no charge for a renewal of a lease with the same tenant. Whether $175 in two payments fits inside the cap for one applicant is a legal question we do not answer, and the manager’s written current schedule controls.
The regular assessment, any special assessment, the reserve schedule, the budget and what the assessment covers are not published. The public pages describe contracted cleaning of the common areas twice a week, a trash-chute and recycling system, two elevators, surveillance cameras in common areas and a Summit Broadband television and internet package. They do not say which of these the assessment pays for, so we do not publish a “what dues cover” list. A list built from guesses is worse than a gap.
The Casa Bonita I master policy’s terms are not published, and the association’s insurance and wind-mitigation page is behind the owner login. Under Florida law the association’s policy covers the building as originally installed and excludes the unit’s floor, wall and ceiling coverings, fixtures, appliances, water heaters, cabinets and window treatments, which the owner insures.
Data updated: October 2026 (Florida Statutes section 718.111; FEMA; Florida Office of Insurance Regulation and Citizens Property Insurance published figures)
Florida Statutes section 718.111(11) requires a residential condominium association to carry adequate property insurance, with the replacement cost determined by an independent appraisal or an update of one at least once every 3 years. It sets the primary coverage as all portions of the condominium property as originally installed. We do not state the carrier, the premium, the deductible or the limits, because the association does not publish them.
FEMA’s summary of coverage for residential condominium buildings describes building coverage of up to $250,000 multiplied by the number of units, which for 54 units would be $13,500,000. Whether the association carries the full amount, and at what premium, is not published, so a buyer’s agent will ask you for the certificate.
Have ready your current HO-6 declarations page, any flood policy, the wind-mitigation form if you have one, the association’s insurance certificate if the manager will provide it, and any claim history you know about. The state’s My Safe Florida Condo program offers eligible associations wind mitigation inspections and grants, and we did not find whether this association applied.
A Casa Bonita I seller must give the buyer, at the seller’s expense, the declaration, articles, bylaws and rules, the annual financial statement and budget, the milestone inspection summary if applicable, the most recent structural integrity reserve study or a statement that none exists, the frequently asked questions document and a state governance form, and must complete a flood disclosure at or before the contract.
Data updated: October 2026 (Florida Statutes sections 718.503, 718.116, 689.302, 553.899 and 718.112, read 1 October 2026)
Under Florida Statutes section 718.503, a prospective purchaser who has entered into a contract is entitled, at the seller’s expense, to those documents. A resale contract must carry a conspicuous clause either acknowledging that the buyer received them more than 7 days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, before signing, or making the contract voidable within 7 days, excluding those days, after signing and receipt. The right ends at closing, and a contract that does not conform is voidable by the buyer before closing.
Each contract entered into after 31 December 2024 must carry a conspicuous statement about whether the association is required to have a milestone inspection or a structural integrity reserve study and whether it has completed it. If it has, the contract carries the buyer’s acknowledgment of receipt more than 7 days before signing. A buyer will ask for both documents, and this association’s status is not published, so we request them early.
The estoppel certificate states what the association says you owe and answers questions a buyer cares about. Under Florida Statutes section 718.116(8), the association must issue it within 10 business days after a written or electronic request, and the form states the regular periodic assessment, what is paid through, any special assessment, whether a capital contribution, resale or transfer fee is due, whether the rules require board approval of the transfer and whether there is a right of first refusal. The fee is up to $299 for the certificate, up to $119 more for an expedited request and up to $179 more where the account is delinquent, the statute’s $250, $100 and $150 base amounts as adjusted for inflation and published by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation in its estoppel certificate fee schedule. The largest combined fee for a delinquent, expedited certificate is $299 + $119 + $179 = $597.
Florida Statutes section 689.302 requires the seller to complete and provide a flood disclosure at or before the time the sales contract is executed. It states whether the seller has knowledge of flooding that damaged the property during the seller’s ownership, whether the seller has filed a flood insurance claim, including with the National Flood Insurance Program, and whether the seller has received assistance for flood damage, including from FEMA. A VE zone prompts buyers to ask more, so answer from your own records.
A Florida seller of residential property also carries the common-law duty to disclose known facts that materially affect value and are not readily observable, under Johnson v. Davis, and the buyer must receive the property tax disclosure summary under section 689.261. A condominium is governed by chapter 718, so the homeowners’ association disclosure summary in chapter 720 is not the document here; your closing agent or attorney confirms which applies to your contract, and this page is information and not legal advice.
Buyers will ask about the FEMA flood zone, the storm record and the permit rules before they make an offer. Casa Bonita I is in FEMA flood zone VE with a base flood elevation of 13 feet NAVD88 on Lee County FIRM panel 12071C0651G, effective 17 November 2022, and in Lee County Evacuation Zone A. VE is FEMA’s coastal high-hazard zone.
Data updated: October 2026 (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer and Lee County map layers queried 1 October 2026; National Hurricane Center; U.S. Geological Survey; City of Bonita Springs)
We queried the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer at the building’s county parcel centroid on 1 October 2026 and read the zone, base flood elevation and panel. The federal 3D Elevation Program returns a bare-earth ground elevation of 7.2 feet NAVD88 at the same point, so the base flood elevation of 13 feet is 5.8 feet above that ground. A second point on the common-elements parcel, about 20 meters away, returns zone AE with a base flood elevation of 11 feet, so the VE and AE boundary runs through or beside the property. We state the zone from the point on the unit parcels, and a buyer relying on it for insurance should ask for the association’s elevation certificate or order a flood determination at the address. We never describe the building as outside a flood zone.
The City of Bonita Springs treats the design flood elevation as the FEMA base flood elevation plus one foot, which is 14 feet NAVD88 here. That is the City’s rule for a building that is substantially damaged or substantially improved, and it is not an offer to elevate anything.
The National Hurricane Center’s report on Ian says maximum inundation of 8 to 12 feet above ground occurred at Bonita Beach. The U.S. Geological Survey recorded a surveyed high-water mark of 11.3 feet NAVD88 inside a ground-floor unit at 25901 Hickory Blvd, the address of the Casa Bonita Royale building about 170 meters away, which is 1.7 feet below the base flood elevation here (13 minus 11.3). It is nearby evidence and not a measurement of this building. The National Hurricane Center reports storm surge of 3 to 5 feet above ground for Helene and 4 to 6 feet for Milton reaching Bonita Beach, and local reporting after Milton, as reported by WGCU, described damage to about 1,300 homes in Bonita Springs, including Hickory Island.
We did not find a public damage or repair record specific to Casa Bonita I for any of these storms, and we do not state one. A buyer will ask what was repaired, assessed and insured after Ian, so pull the repair history, any claims and the budget lines before you list. The association’s storm page states “We are in evacuation Zone A” and links to Lee County and state emergency pages.
The City of Bonita Springs defines substantial damage as repair cost equal to or exceeding 50 percent of a structure’s pre-damage market value, and substantial improvement as five-year improvements that equal or exceed 50 percent. A building that crosses either line must be brought up to the design flood elevation. For a condominium the building is the structure, so an owner’s kitchen renovation does not on its own trigger the rule, but a major association project and storm repairs can. It is a risk to understand and not a prediction.
The rules that affect a Casa Bonita I sale are board approval of every buyer, a one-month minimum lease, a stated ban on all animals, written Board permission for a lockbox and a renovation plan that governs work on a condo. Each comes from the association’s published forms and pages, and we could not read the declaration or rules behind the owner login.
Data updated: October 2026 (association forms and public pages read 1 October 2026)
Yes. The association’s notices page says Board approval is required to buy, and the purchase application asks for the buyer’s name, how title will be conveyed, a signed statement that the buyer has read and agrees to abide by the declaration, bylaws and rules, a copy of the purchase agreement, background and credit consents, the $100 fee and the $75 Certificate of Approval fee. We found no published number of days for the Board to act and no right of first refusal described on any public page, which is not proof that none exists in the declaration. A cash buyer and a financed buyer both need the approval, so submit the packet the day the contract is signed and write the approval into the contract as a condition with a closing date that leaves room.
The association’s rental page says all renters must file a lease application each year, the minimum term is one month, and renting for less than one month may be fined. The lease form states a minimum of 30 days and a $150 check per tenant per year, and says that a rental under 30 days lets the association bar the occupants and guests from the common areas, including the pool and the parking lot. A one-month minimum rules out weekly vacation rentals, which is a buyer-pool decision. Florida Statutes section 718.110(13) says an amendment limiting the number or frequency of rentals applies only to owners who consent and to owners who acquire title after it takes effect.
A lockbox needs written permission from the Board of Directors, per the association’s notices to realtors and property managers. It is allowed only for a unit that is for sale or needed for emergency medical purposes, only until the sale or the need ends, at a location the Board designates, and a lockbox placed without permission is removed and discarded. The public pages do not mention open houses, so we ask the manager in writing before we advertise one.
| Topic | One association document says | Another association document says |
|---|---|---|
| Management | Home page: managed by Sterling Property Services | Property manager page, lease form, purchase form and renovation form: Resort Management |
| Lease lead time | Lease form, updated 6 June 2026: submit 10 days in advance | Rental rules page: apply at least 30 days before moving in |
| Contractor hours | Renovation plan, effective 25 August 2026: 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday | Rebuild and remodel page: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday |
| Lease fee payee | Lease form: $150 payable to Casa Bonita I | Rental rules page: $150 payable to the Casa Bonita One Association |
We cannot tell from the public record which is current, and we do not guess. Ask for the current management contact on the estoppel request, and a landlord should apply 30 days ahead and ask for the manager’s confirmation in writing.
The county record does not show a best month to sell a Casa Bonita I condo. Of the 32 qualified sales recorded since 2009, 3 fell in January to March, 11 in April to June, 8 in July to September and 10 in October to December, and 32 is too few to rank the quarters. List when your documents and your condo are ready.
Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser and Florida DOR recorded sales since 2009, when the record is complete; index built 1 Oct 2026)
| Quarter of the recorded date | Qualified sales since 2009 |
|---|---|
| January to March | 3 |
| April to June | 11 |
| July to September | 8 |
| October to December | 10 |
| Total | 32 |
The most in one month were 4 each in April, May and December, and every month has at least one. Seven of the 32 were recorded in January to April, the months many sellers call the season, and 11 in June to September. The date is when the sale was recorded and not when it was listed, so it says nothing about how long a condo sat.
We market a Casa Bonita I condo with a professional photo and video package, listing on the Southwest Florida MLS, our own Bonita Beach and Bonita Springs pages and direct outreach to buyers who ask about the strip. We tell the buyer about the approval, the animal rule, the one-month minimum and the flood zone up front, which keeps contracts together.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS listing practice; association forms read 1 October 2026)
The package has professional photographs and video, a floor plan marked with the plan size the county records, the document set a buyer will ask for, the estoppel when it arrives, the flood and insurance papers you hold and a remarks field that states the rules plainly. It is promoted from our Bonita Beach guide and from the building’s own Casa Bonita I buyer’s page, which tells the buyer what you have already answered.
Since the NAR practice changes of 17 August 2024, an offer of buyer-broker compensation can no longer be advertised on the MLS, and a buyer’s agent needs a written agreement with the buyer before touring a home. Commission is negotiable and not set by law. You may still offer to contribute toward the buyer’s agent compensation, communicated off the MLS, and you may offer buyer concessions on the MLS. We set out the choice in writing at the listing appointment.
We negotiate a Casa Bonita I contract by pricing from the recorded sales, building the board’s approval and the buyer’s document review into the terms and the closing date, and answering the buyer’s insurer and lender questions before they are asked. A partner of ours negotiates every offer, and the contract controls over any local custom.
Data updated: October 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS; Florida Statutes section 718.503)
A buyer who likes Casa Bonita I will almost always tour Casa Bonita II too, because both are 54-unit, Gulf-side, 1973 buildings in FEMA zone VE with the same three plan sizes. The record favors Casa Bonita I on price, with $824,500 against $749,500 for the median of 8 sales each, and Casa Bonita II on recent activity.
Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser and Florida DOR recorded sales, index built 1 Oct 2026)
The two buildings are separate corporations with separate declarations, boards and budgets, about 180 meters apart by county parcel centroid, which is approximate. Our sister page for Casa Bonita II sellers covers the same ground from its side, and a Casa Bonita I seller should read it, because it is the building your buyer is comparing.
| If your buyer cares about | Casa Bonita I | Casa Bonita II |
|---|---|---|
| Last 60 months of qualified county sales | 8 sales, $550,000 to $1,215,000, median of these 8 sales $824,500 | 8 sales, $675,000 to $1,305,000, median of these 8 sales $749,500 |
| Median price per heated square foot, 60 months | $767.87, the median of these 8 sales | $672.77, the median of these 8 sales |
| Last 12 months of qualified county sales | 1 sale, $850,000 | 5 sales, $675,000 to $796,000, median of these 5 sales $700,000 |
| Units, year built and flood zone | 54 units, 1973, FEMA zone VE with a base flood elevation of 13 feet | 54 units, 1973, FEMA zone VE with a base flood elevation of 13 feet |

| What the association publishes | Lease, purchase and renovation forms with 2024 to 2026 dates; declaration, rules and insurance behind a login | Its regular assessment, budget and rental terms are not published, per our Casa Bonita II guide |

Casa Bonita I wins on median price and on public documents. Its median of $824,500 is $75,000 above Casa Bonita II’s $749,500, which is 10.0 percent of $749,500, on the same 60-month window and the same count, and its 2026 lease and renovation forms answer questions a buyer would otherwise have to ask. Both are reasons to say so in your listing.
Casa Bonita II has had more recent sales, 5 in the last 12 months against 1 here, so a buyer sees more evidence of what a condo there is worth today, at a median of $700,000, which is lower than your window. A buyer who sees both lists will anchor on the recent $675,000 to $796,000 range unless your condo gives a reason to sit above it. That reason is plan, floor, condition and the documents, and it is our job to show it.
Casa Bonita I’s median of $824,500 for the median of its last 8 qualified sales is higher than the figure for most condominiums on the Bonita Beach strip, but the windows and counts differ, so each row below carries its own window and count. Only five associations on the strip reach ten sales in a standard window.
Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser and Florida DOR recorded sales, index built 1 Oct 2026)
The table copies each building’s own figure under our presentation rule: the first window of 12, 24, 36 or 60 months with ten or more qualified sales, and otherwise the median of these sales with the count beside it.
| Association | Side of Hickory Blvd | Units | Built | FEMA zone | Window and sales | Median | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Casa Bonita I | Gulf | 54 | 1973 | VE 13 | 60 months, 8 sales | $824,500, the median of these 8 sales | $550,000 to $1,215,000 |
| Casa Bonita Grande | Gulf | 54 | 1976 | VE 13 | 60 months, 3 sales | $945,000, the median of these 3 sales | $900,000 to $1,010,000 |
| The Egret | Gulf | 40 | 1972 | AE 11 | 60 months, 6 sales | $712,000, the median of these 6 sales | $575,000 to $970,000 |
| Ambassador | Gulf | 60 | 1982 | AE 11 | 60 months, 4 sales | $987,000, the median of these 4 sales | $712,500 to $1,147,000 |
| Bonita Beach Club | Gulf | 198 | 1977 to 2009 | AE 12 | 24 months, 17 sales | $690,000 | $455,000 to $1,075,000 |
| Seascape | Gulf | 136 | 1979 | AE 12 | 60 months, 10 sales | $592,500 | $370,000 to $850,000 |
| Bay Harbor Club | Bay | 104 | 1983 to 1984 | AE 11 | 24 months, 12 sales | $555,000 | $450,000 to $750,000 |
| Sea Isles | Bay | 84 | 1980 | AE 11 | 60 months, 8 sales | $610,000, the median of these 8 sales | $395,000 to $833,000 |
| Bonita Beach and Tennis Club | Bay, Bonita Beach Rd SW | 360 | 1977 to 1980 | AE 10 | 12 months, 20 sales | $280,000 | $199,900 to $425,000 |
On the strip, a Gulf-side concrete building with a base flood elevation of 13 feet and a price near $800,000 is at the high end, and the Casa Bonita buildings and Ambassador are the only rows with medians above $700,000 other than Bonita Beach Club’s $690,000 close behind. Casa Bonita I’s $824,500 is $134,500 above Bonita Beach Club’s $690,000 and $232,000 above Seascape’s $592,500, but the windows, counts and plan sizes differ and we do not rank buildings on these medians.
Selling a Casa Bonita I condo costs roughly 4.1 to 6.7 percent of the price, depending mostly on the commission you negotiate and whether you offer buyer-agent compensation. On an $850,000 sale that is about $35,324 to $56,574, and on a $775,000 sale about $32,362 to $51,737, before any mortgage payoff, prorations and association fees the contract allocates.
Data updated: October 2026 (Florida Department of Revenue documentary stamp tax rate, Florida title insurance rate schedule, Florida Statutes section 718.116, NAR practice changes of 17 August 2024; Lee County recorded sales)
The figures are estimates, not a settlement statement. Commission is negotiable and not set by law, so we show 2.75 percent for the listing side and an optional 2.5 percent for buyer-agent compensation, and you can replace either with your own number. $850,000 is the newest recorded sale, from June 2026, and $775,000 is the median of the 12 qualified sales since January 2021. Florida charges documentary stamp tax of $0.70 per $100 rounded up, the owner’s title premium is $575 plus $5.00 per $1,000 above $100,000, and in Lee County the seller customarily pays both; the contract controls.
This sheet assumes a mortgage-free seller. It leaves out property tax and assessment prorations, which depend on your own bill and the closing date, and the association’s purchase fees, which the contract allocates.
| Item | Estimate | Arithmetic |
|---|---|---|
| Sale price | $850,000 | Newest recorded sale, 8 June 2026 |
| Listing commission, 2.75% | -$23,375 | 2.75% of $850,000 |
| Buyer-agent compensation, 2.5%, if offered | -$21,250 | 2.5% of $850,000 |
| Deed documentary stamp tax | -$5,950 | 8,500 units of $100 at $0.70 |
| Owner’s title policy | -$4,325 | $575 plus ($850,000 minus $100,000) at $5.00 per $1,000, or $3,750 |
| Title search and settlement | -$1,200 | Estimate, within the $500 to $1,500 range |
| Municipal lien search | -$175 | Estimate |
| Condominium estoppel | -$299 | Statutory ceiling, current account |
| Estimated total costs, with buyer-agent compensation | -$56,574 | 6.66% of price |
| Estimated net before payoff, with buyer-agent compensation | $793,426 | $850,000 minus $56,574 |
| Estimated total costs, without buyer-agent compensation | -$35,324 | 4.16% of price |
| Estimated net before payoff, without buyer-agent compensation | $814,676 | $850,000 minus $35,324 |
Property tax is paid in arrears on a calendar-year basis, so at a closing before the bill is paid the seller credits the buyer for the days the seller owned the condo, your own annual bill times the days owned divided by 365. At a 30 June closing that is 181/365, so every $1,000 of annual bill costs about $496 ($1,000 times 181 divided by 365, or $495.89). Regular assessments are prorated to the closing date from what the estoppel says is paid through. We do not publish a dues or tax figure, because neither the association nor this page has one. The purchase application fees of $100 and $75 are on the association’s form, and the contract states who pays. An estoppel for a delinquent, expedited request can reach $597.
Possibly not. Under Internal Revenue Code Section 121, as the IRS explains in Topic 701, a seller can exclude up to $250,000 of gain, or $500,000 for a married couple filing jointly, on a main home that the seller owned and used as a main home for at least 2 of the 5 years before the sale. Florida has no state income tax.
Data updated: October 2026 (Internal Revenue Service Topic 701 and Publication 523, read 1 October 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser and Florida DOR recorded sales)
The record shows why the exclusion matters. Of the 7 repeat pairs since 2009, three gained more than $250,000 before selling costs, the largest $715,000 over 2.46 years, and the median gain was $235,000. Gain is measured from your basis, which includes your purchase price, certain closing costs and improvements, less your selling costs, so your number differs from the difference between two recorded prices.
List if your condo is in marketable condition and you can wait for a buyer who has the board’s approval, which describes most Casa Bonita I owners; take an investor cash offer only when you need to close fast and the discount is smaller than the commission you save; sell by owner only if you already have a buyer and know Florida’s condominium disclosure duties. We run the net proceeds side by side at no cost.
Data updated: October 2026 (Florida Statutes sections 718.503 and 689.302; NAR practice changes of 17 August 2024)
Casa Bonita I has features that change the comparison: board approval of every buyer, a no-animals declaration, a one-month minimum lease, a VE flood zone and documents behind a login. A buyer who is paying cash still wants those answered, and still needs the Board’s approval.
| Path | Price you can expect | Speed | What you pay | Main risk | When it fits |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full listing | Highest, tested by the market | Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-10-01) | Commission, stamp tax, title and prorations | A price that ignores the last 12 months sits | A condo in marketable condition with time |
| Investor cash offer | Below what a well-priced listing can bring; ask for the offer in writing | Days to weeks, still subject to approval | Often fewer repairs and fees, but a lower price | The discount can exceed the commission you save | A condo needing work or a fast close |
| Sale by owner | Untested unless you have a buyer | Depends on your buyer | No listing commission, but your own disclosures and negotiated buyer-agent compensation | Missed section 718.503 or 689.302 duties, weak appraisal support | A known buyer and a legal review |

Price it from the resales of your own plan and floor band, request the estoppel certificate and the association’s documents, complete the flood disclosure, and submit the buyer’s approval packet the day the contract is signed. The Board must approve every buyer, so the closing date has to leave room for it.
Choose the agent with the strongest pricing evidence for your plan and the clearest plan for the approval and the paperwork. McGreevy and Comisar are Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, and we tracked every one of the 127 qualified Casa Bonita I sales on the county record for this page.
The 8 qualified sales of the last 60 months ran from $550,000 to $1,215,000, and the median of these 8 sales is $824,500. Plan, floor, view line and condition decide where yours falls, which is why we price from the twins of your own plan.
The county recorded 1 qualified sale in the last 12 months, at $850,000 on 8 June 2026. One sale cannot set a price signal, so we read the 8 sales of the last 60 months together and then adjust for your plan and floor.
The record is too thin to call a trend. The 36-month median of the 5 sales is $850,000 and the 24-month median of the 4 sales is $824,500, while single sales in 2025 ran from $550,000 to $950,000. Eight sales in five years cannot carry a direction, so we price each condo on its own comparables.
The county record shows sale dates, not listing dates, so it cannot show days on market. Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-10-01). Board approval, the estoppel and the buyer’s insurance quotes set much of the timeline, so we start all three at the contract.
On an $850,000 sale, our net sheet shows $35,324 in costs, or 4.16 percent, without a buyer-agent commission and $56,574, or 6.66 percent, with one at 2.5 percent. The assumptions are listed beside the sheet. Your own figure depends on commission terms, the title policy and the payoff.
Florida’s deed tax is $0.70 per $100 of price, so a sale at $850,000 pays $5,950. By local custom the seller pays it in Lee County, but the contract can say otherwise. We show the line in every net sheet so that the number is not a surprise at closing.
It is the association’s written statement of what you owe and whether a transfer approval is required. The fee is up to $299 for the certificate, up to $119 more for an expedited request and up to $179 more where the account is delinquent. The association must issue it within 10 business days of the request.
Under section 718.503 you provide the declaration, articles, bylaws and rules, the annual financial statement and budget, the milestone inspection summary if applicable, the structural integrity reserve study or a statement that none exists, the frequently asked questions document and the state governance form. The seller pays for them.
Yes, within limits. A resale contract must say the buyer received the documents more than 7 days before signing, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, or that the contract is voidable within 7 such days after signing and receipt. Delivering the package before the contract removes that open window.
Section 689.302 requires a written disclosure at or before the contract on whether you know of flood damage during your ownership, whether you filed a flood claim and whether you received flood assistance, including from FEMA. Answer from your own records, because buyers in a coastal building read it closely.
Yes. The association’s notices page says Board approval is required to buy. The purchase application asks for the buyer’s identity, how title will be held, the signed statement that the buyer will abide by the declaration, bylaws and rules, a copy of the contract and background and credit consents.
The association does not publish a number of days, and we found no right of first refusal described on any public page, which is not proof that none exists. We ask the manager for the current timeline in writing, put the approval in the contract as a condition and leave room in the closing date.
The purchase application lists a $100 application fee and a $75 Certificate of Approval fee. Monthly or quarterly assessments are not published on the public pages, so the amount comes from the estoppel and the budget. We never quote a dues figure that we have not seen in a document.
Only with the Board’s written permission. The association’s notice allows a lockbox for a unit that is for sale, at a location the Board designates and until the sale ends, and a lockbox placed without permission is removed and discarded. We request the permission before the listing goes live.
Yes, with limits. The association’s rental page sets a minimum term of one month, every renter files a lease application each year and the lease form states a $150 check per tenant per year. A one-month minimum rules out weekly rentals, which narrows the buyer pool for investors.
The lease form states that the condominium declarations prohibit all animals, and we could not read the declaration behind the owner login. Assistance animals are a separate fair-housing question handled as a reasonable accommodation. Have the manager’s written answer ready, because buyers ask at the first showing.
The FEMA map we queried returned a coastal high hazard zone, VE with a base flood elevation of 13 feet, on panel 12071C0651G, and the City’s design flood elevation is 14 feet. Our flood section explains the numbers, and an elevation certificate or the building’s records would add detail for a buyer.
The public record we read does not say, and we will not guess. Buyers ask about Ian, Helene and Milton, and your section 689.302 answers must be true to your own knowledge. Ask the manager what the association has on file, and bring your insurance and repair records to the first showing.
Florida law does not require you to carry flood insurance in order to sell. A buyer’s lender may require coverage, and a buyer in a VE zone will price it early, so your quote history helps. The building’s master policy and what it covers are questions for the manager and the buyer’s agent.
Yes, with the disclosures. If you filed a claim or received assistance, the section 689.302 form states it, and repairs may need City permits and may be subject to the 50 percent substantial-damage rule explained above. Keep the permits, the invoices and the insurance paperwork together, because buyers and insurers ask for them.
A special assessment appears on the estoppel certificate, and the contract and the buyer’s lender will read it. We request the estoppel early, confirm the amount and the due dates and negotiate who pays an assessment that is levied or due near closing. Never leave it to the closing table.
Every contract after 31 December 2024 must carry a conspicuous statement on whether the association is required to have a milestone inspection and a structural integrity reserve study and whether it has completed them. Buyers and lenders read the summaries, so ask the manager for the current status before you list.
The contract statement must say so, and a buyer and lender will treat it as a risk. The association’s status is not published, so we ask for it in writing before we price. A building that has not completed required reports may draw fewer financed buyers and lower offers.
Casa Bonita I sits on the Gulf side of Hickory Boulevard, so the building’s setting is shared by every unit, and the record moves with plan, floor, view line and condition instead. Our value section explains each factor, and the comparison with the other Bonita Beach buildings follows.
Our strip comparison puts Casa Bonita I beside the other Bonita Beach buildings using each building’s own window, and it shows where a condo here sits against its neighbors. For the nearest comparison, see Casa Bonita II, which has its own record and its own buyers.
Buyers compare monthly fees and rental rules before they compare finishes. Casa Bonita I publishes a one-month minimum lease and a no-animals statement, but not its dues, so we lead with the documents and the estoppel to remove surprises. Fees you cannot show are the ones a buyer discounts.
If the condo is your main home and you meet the ownership and use tests, the federal exclusion is up to $250,000 of gain, or $500,000 for joint filers. A second home or rental does not qualify. Our capital gains section explains the tests, and your tax adviser confirms your figure.
Many owners do. The roll shows 33 of the 54 owner mailing addresses outside Florida. A closing can usually be arranged by mail, remote notary or power of attorney through the title company, and we coordinate with the Board’s approval so that you do not need to be here in person.
A cash buyer skips the lender and the condo questionnaire but still needs Board approval and the estoppel. We cannot give you a share of Casa Bonita I sales that were cash, because Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-10-01). We ask each buyer about the timeline.
The association’s renovation plan form, effective 25 August 2026, governs work on a condo, and contractor hours are stated on it and on the rebuild and remodel page, which disagree. Ask the manager before any work, because unapproved work found at the estoppel can delay a closing.
It asks about the association’s budget, reserves, insurance, assessments, litigation and the structural reports. A financed buyer’s lender sends it to the manager, and a slow reply can slip a closing. We tell the manager when a contract is signed and track the questionnaire until it returns.
You get a pricing file built from the county record, a plan for the Board approval and the estoppel from day one, and one partner who negotiates every offer. We are Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008 and lead the #1 Team in Southwest Florida since 2012.

A Bonita Beach condo specialist knows which plan and floor band a unit belongs to, which of the recent sales are true comparables, what the estoppel must say, how the Board approval works and what the flood map means for a building on the Gulf side of Hickory Boulevard. Buyers pay for that clarity, and a listing that explains the building holds its price through the approval and the inspection.
We have seen small facts cost sellers contracts: a 1,058 square foot condo priced off a 1,148 square foot sale, a listing that quoted the assessment as the whole monthly cost, an approval packet sent after the closing date was set, a lockbox placed without the Board’s written permission and a flood answer given from memory instead of the records. As Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, we build the listing so none of those surprises reach the inspection period.
