Twelve-month leases between the Gulf and Estero Bay — twenty minutes closer to the airport than Naples.
Bonita Springs draws annual tenants for a specific reason: it sits between Naples and Fort Myers, 25 minutes from Southwest Florida International, with Bonita Bay and Pelican Landing offering resort amenities on a lease and the beach communities offering the Gulf at a lower rent than Naples. Tenants are relocating professionals commuting either direction, seasonal residents testing the area, and buyers waiting for the right property. The listings below are every annual lease currently offered in Bonita through the Naples MLS, including residences managed by Alpizar Property Management.

Where Annual Renters Live in Bonita
Bonita Bay and Pelican Landing hold the largest share of annual condominium and villa leases, with tenants receiving the communities' beach park, tennis and pool privileges. The beach communities — Bonita Beach, Little Hickory Shores and the Hickory Boulevard condominiums — lease annually in smaller numbers and move quickly. The Colony and Barefoot Beach occasionally lease annually at the top of the market. East of 41, the newer gated communities along Bonita Beach Road add single family inventory.

How Leasing Works in Bonita
Most Bonita condominiums and gated communities approve every tenant: an application, a background and credit review, a fee, and in some communities an interview, typically two to four weeks. Owners screen separately. First month, last month and a security deposit at signing is customary, and every lease requires renter's insurance. Tenants in Bonita Bay and Pelican Landing should confirm which amenities transfer; golf and marina privileges usually require a separate membership. We handle the application process for our clients from start to finish. Considering a season rather than a year? See Bonita Springs vacation rentals.
