The Neighborhood:
The neighborhood around Pennsylvania Avenue in Bonita Springs, Florida, is known for its quiet, residential atmosphere, offering a peaceful and serene environment. This waterfront community is just a few minutes from Bonita's main intersection of Bonita Beach Rd. & US 41 Rd., making it convenient for daily errands, though the area is predominantly car-dependent. Amenities like grocery stores and restaurants are within easy driving distance, and parking is generally hassle-free.

For those interested in education, the neighborhood is near several schools: Bonita Springs Elementary School is about 0.8 miles away, Bonita Springs Middle Center for the Arts is 0.6 miles, and Bonita Springs High School is around 2.2 miles away.

This community is not only peaceful but also very pet-friendly. Bonita Springs boasts over 30 dog-friendly acres spread across five parks, and the famous "Dog Beach" is just 9.5 miles away, where dogs can enjoy the pristine white sands. The neighborhood is a great place for outdoor activities, with easy access to nearby parks and green spaces.

The neighborhood’s sense of community is strong, with friendly neighbors often organizing events and gatherings, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Plus, it’s just 3.35 miles to the beautiful, white sands of Bonita Beach, offering plenty of public access. The area also offers a wide variety of shopping and dining options, with big shopping malls nearby, making it a great base for short-term stays.

With its mix of natural beauty, convenience, and friendly, local charm, this neighborhood provides an ideal place to live, relax, and explore. Whether you're enjoying a day at the beach, visiting historical sites, or indulging in shopping and dining, it’s a neighborhood that truly offers something for everyone.

Getting Around:
Getting around the neighborhood near Pennsylvania Avenue in Bonita Springs is fairly straightforward, although the area is predominantly car-dependent. Here’s a quick overview of transportation options:

Car: Since most daily errands require a vehicle, having a car is the most convenient way to get around. The neighborhood is well-connected by major roads, including Bonita Beach Rd. and US 41, making it easy to access nearby shopping, dining, and beaches. I-75 is just 4 miles away, and the international airport is a 20-30 minute drive.

Public Transit: While Bonita Springs does have some public transit options, they may be limited, especially compared to more urban areas. The LeeTran bus service operates in the area, but it’s best suited for longer trips or if you don’t have access to a car.

Biking/Walking: For short distances, the neighborhood offers a pleasant atmosphere for walking or biking. Bonita Springs has some pedestrian-friendly areas, and there are parks and green spaces nearby, but walking or biking may not always be the most convenient option for errands.

Taxis/Rideshares: Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are available in the area, providing a convenient option if you don’t have access to a car. These can be particularly useful for getting to nearby attractions or if you want to avoid parking.

In summary, while a car is the most efficient way to get around, Bonita Springs offers some public transport, biking, and rideshare options for more flexible commuting. The proximity to I-75 and nearby amenities makes it easy to access both local and regional destinations.

Other Things to Note:
For your convenience, the villa features smart lock access, allowing you to check in easily and securely without the need for physical keys. Parking is provided, and everything you need for a comfortable stay is included.

Beautiful property. The house had everything we needed. The surrounding area is peaceful so we both slept really well. We also really enjoyed watching the rabbits, squirrels, birds and iguanas in the back yard. The place was clean and the location put us close to everything we wanted to do. I highly recommend this property and will absolutely stay here again when I return to the area.

Blue Heron Townhome

Having rented several properties on various platforms for personal and business usage, we have learned to appreciate honesty and accuracy in a rental’s description. Blue Heron Townhome’s description and photos are spot on. The home is well appointed with very comfortable beds and furniture- certainly comfortable for our party of 4 adults. The home was very clean, which is essential, convenient to downtown and all other areas in and around Bonita Springs, and the neighborhood was very quiet and safe. We would not hesitate to rent here again at some point in the future.

What a hidden Gem

This home is so comfortable and inviting from the moment you walk in the door. We were down visiting our daughter who is a student at FGCU. It is a short 18 minute drive to campus and so close to the beach. Loved every bit of this home and Steve was such a welcoming and excellent host. This house is incredibly well updated and clean. Beds are so so comfortable. We will be coming back to this home again.

We really enjoyed our stay. So many details were adressed: beauty of the art, cleanliness, great mattresses, ice in the freezer and items available for the beach (towels, chairs, cooler). We needed to work while we were there and the internet connection was top notch! We would stay here again. Thanks!

Perfect Place in Bonita Springs

This was one of the best places we have stayed at anywhere. Everything was well maintained, clean, comfortable. The kitchen was equipped with good quality items (only thing missing was a strainer.) The screened in back porch overlooking the inlet was just lovely. And the property's location was ideal: not too far from the beach; close to restaurants, grocery stores - even the flea market!
