…another Mailbox in Bonita Springs
Come on! What else would I use for a title? I spotted this mailbox in Bonita Shores. If you don’t know where Bonita Shores of Bonita Springs is, it’s that small part of Bonita Springs on the Southwest corner of Vanderbilt Beach Road and Bonita Beach Road. Besides the neighborhood of Barefoot Beach, Bonita Shores is the only part of Bonita Springs that is technically in Collier County. Real estate in Bonita Springs with a Collier County tax.
Bonita Shores is number streets; 1st Street, 2nd Street, etc. and a few cross streets with the name “valley” in them, which is funny because we don’t have a valley in this entire village. I have run every street in the Bonita Shores and I‘ve never seen a valley. Homes in Bonita Shores are sometimes older - built in the 50’s. When you get that close to the beach you have to know it was developed long ago. Many homes have been updated and remodeled, but some have not, so if you’re looking for a project, Bonita Shores might be the place to find it. The end result will be a cute little beach community bungalow within biking or walking distance to Bonita Beach, shopping, dining and many other conveniences.
The community isn’t deed restricted so you will get a mix of mailboxes, none of that boring uniformity of gated communities. There are more than enough fish mailboxes, I might add. I decided the featured fish lure mailbox deserved our mailbox of the week spot this Friday since the homeowner went the extra mile and put the little hookey thingies on it and the frilly fish attractor baity pom pom.
In case you’re wondering, homes in Bonita Shores are currently priced from just under $200,000 but the mailboxes are priceless.
