Vacation Rentals and Extended Stays

Sunset over Bonita Beach with palm trees and calm Gulf waters in Southwest Florida

Beyond traditional hotels, Bonita Springs has a thriving vacation rental market that can be ideal for longer stays. Many visitors, especially snowbirds spending weeks or months in the area, find that renting a condo or house offers better value and more space.

Popular rental areas include:

  • Barefoot Beach — Gated community with luxury condos steps from one of Florida's most beautiful beaches. Expect to pay $3,000-$8,000 per week during peak season (January through April).
  • Bonita Beach — Condos and cottages within walking distance of Bonita Beach Park. More affordable than Barefoot Beach, with weekly rates from $1,500-$4,000 in season.
  • Bonita Bay — Upscale golf community with condos and villas. Ideal for golfers and those who want resort-style amenities without the nightly hotel rate.
  • Spring Creek / Imperial River — Waterfront homes along the river offer a more residential Florida experience with dock access and kayaking from your backyard.

For vacation rentals, check Hotels.com for condos and apartment-style stays alongside traditional hotels.


Where to Stay by Interest

Choosing where to stay in Bonita Springs depends on what you want to do during your visit. Here is a quick guide based on common travel interests.

Beach vacation: Stay at Latitude 26 Waterfront Boutique Resort for the closest access to Barefoot Beach and Bonita Beach Park. The Hyatt Regency Coconut Point also offers beach shuttle service to a private island.

Bonita Beach vs. Inland: Best Areas to Stay

Bonita Beach and Barefoot Beach Area

Staying near the coast puts you within minutes of Bonita Springs' biggest draw: the beaches. Barefoot Beach Preserve is consistently ranked among Florida's top beaches, and Bonita Beach Park offers free parking, picnic areas, and a relaxed local vibe.

Hotels near the beach are limited, but Latitude 26 Waterfront Boutique Resort provides the closest waterfront experience. Vacation rentals fill the gap, with condos available along Little Hickory Island and the Barefoot Beach community.

Pros: Walk or bike to the beach, Gulf sunsets, quieter atmosphere
Cons: Fewer dining options within walking distance, higher seasonal rates

US-41 Corridor (Central Bonita Springs)

Most of Bonita Springs' chain hotels line the US-41 (Tamiami Trail) corridor, which also serves as the main commercial strip with restaurants, shopping centers, and grocery stores. This area gives you the best access to everything.

The Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Fairfield Inn, La Quinta, and Baymont are all located along this stretch. You are typically 10-15 minutes from the beach by car.

Pros: Best hotel selection, restaurants and shops nearby, easy I-75 access
Cons: More traffic, commercial setting, need to drive to beach

Bonita Bay and Coconut Point Area

The southern end of Bonita Springs near the Estero border is home to the upscale Bonita Bay community and the massive Coconut Point Mall. The Trianon Bonita Bay and Hyatt Regency Coconut Point anchor this area.

This is the best zone for shoppers, golfers, and those who want an upscale atmosphere. You are also close to great dining in nearby Estero.

Pros: Upscale dining and shopping, golf access, resort-quality properties
Cons: Farthest from the beaches, resort pricing

Tips for Booking Hotels in Bonita Springs

Best time to visit for deals: Hotel rates drop significantly from May through October (off-season). You can find rooms at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point for nearly half the peak-season rate, and budget hotels regularly dip under $100 per night. August through October offers the deepest discounts, though you will deal with higher humidity and afternoon thunderstorms.

Peak season warning: January through April is high season when snowbirds flock to Southwest Florida. Book at least 2-3 months ahead for the best selection, especially at waterfront properties and the Hyatt. Rates can be two to three times higher than off-season.

Getting around: You will need a car in Bonita Springs. There is no meaningful public transportation, and even beach hotels require a short drive to reach restaurants and attractions. Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) is about 20 minutes north.

Parking: Most Bonita Springs hotels include free parking. The notable exception is the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point, which charges $18 per night for self-parking and $27 for valet.

Day trips: Bonita Springs makes an excellent base for exploring the region. Naples is 20 minutes south, Fort Myers is 25 minutes north, and the Everglades are about 90 minutes east.
