  Carolands Luxury Waterfront Homes One of the things a real estate agent does is preview real estate for their clients, maybe just do a drive by to see a neighborhood and such.  I drove through the Carolands of Bonita Springs to check out a home that I’d be showing on the weekend and on my way out of the area I passed this darling little piece of real estate. To be honest, it was the sidewalk that got me to throw my car in reverse.  There aren’t many like it … just a few in the area that I’ve ever seen.  Well, while I was kneeling on the sidewalk taking pictures of rocks and grass which does not belong to me, the owner came out.  To my relief it was just to say hello and not to yell at the crazy woman trespassing kneeling on the sidewalk.

Gull Haven Bonita Farms This cute mailbox was found in Gull Haven or Bonita Farms in Bonita Springs, Florida.  The area is located off of West Terry Street and most of the homes are on canals or on the Imperial River and offer gulf access.   Needless to say, Bonita Farms is a popular boating area and a lot of people fish for sport.  I am not sure why it's called Bonita Farms because there isn't a farm anywhere around here and it isn't even zoned for livestock.  Continue reading: Bonita Farms

Comparison is the Thief of Happiness This floatilla was spotted on the Imperial River in Bonita Springs, Florida at Riverside Park and Island Park in Downtown Bonita Springs.  Southwest Florida is a location of tremendous opportunity. Our water access and gulf access real estate provides a place for our boats and toys.   There are kayak and paddleboard rentals at the park.   Stop in and take a few hours off on the water, soon.  Paddle upstream to the cypress. It's a treat and a little seen area of the Imperial River.

Slumdawg Dillionaire at Dog Beach  We're lucky enough to have a dog beach here in Bonita Springs, Florida.  This is my fearless sidekick, Dill.  Fearless because when he gets to this beach he immediately looks for the Great Danes and runs with that pack of pony sized canines.  If only he would let me borrow his mirror one day.

Estero Bay Sunrise in Bonita Springs, Florida The bird in the mangroves is an Osprey, a bird of prey, which subsides on a diet of scooped up fish and rodents. They soar like, and look very much like an eagle so very often visitors and tourists think they are eagles. We also have many eagles here contributing to the confusion. This photo was taken at sunrise and this bird was already on the job.

Real Estate on The Waterfront - Gulf Access Everyone has a different idea of what waterfront real estate really is.  Consumers come from all over the United States, all over the world, to buy Bonita Springs real estate.  Since Florida has so much waterfront real estate buyers often start looking for waterfront homes and condos. Waterfront real estate can mean so many things in Florida.  Waterfront can be a home on a canal. Very often, in the mind of a buyer a canal means gulf access but Southwest Florida also has drainage canals.  That’s where the confusion begins.  A canal home can actually have no gulf access.

Bleeding Hearts in Bonita Springs, Florida More photos from the butterfly garden out back.  When the bleeding hearts have enough care, they're so delicate and beautiful. This week I was at Florida Realtors and REBCORL and turned my back for a few days. Thank goodness I took pictures of them before I left.  My absence has altered the appearance significantly.  I'll get them back to picture perfect shape soon.  If you're interested in seeing local butterfly gardens visit Riverside Park, Bonita Springs or Bonita Nature Place or Everglades Wonder Gardens.  Here is an article about the largest butterfly garden in the area The Butterfly Estates
