Approximately 25 Luxury Villas • Private Pools • Creekside Golf Course • Lake & Preserve Views • Bonita Springs, Florida
Siena at Bonita Bay is an intimate enclave of approximately 25 detached villa-style homes within Bonita Bay in Bonita Springs. Developed primarily during the 1990s, Siena combines private swimming pools, manageable estate-style floor plans and golf, lake or natural views with an association-supported residential setting.
Siena is particularly appealing to buyers who want detached ownership without moving into Bonita Bay's much larger custom-estate segment. Homes are individually owned and may differ considerably in floor plan, renovation, rear exposure, pool design, roof, storm protection and major mechanical systems.
Because only about two dozen homes exist, Siena can experience extended periods with little or no active inventory. That scarcity makes neighborhood-specific comparable sales and property-level analysis more useful than a broad Bonita Bay average.

Detached Luxury Villa Homes
Siena's residences provide the privacy of a detached home while retaining the more manageable scale commonly associated with a luxury villa neighborhood.
Historical neighborhood information identifies several original floor plans, with residences generally ranging from approximately 2,000 square feet into larger configurations approaching 3,000 square feet. Renovations and modifications can make current homes differ from their original plans.
Buyers should verify current air-conditioned living area, bedroom and den configuration, garage dimensions and any permitted additions for the individual property.
Creekside Golf Course Views
Siena is closely associated with golf-course scenery within Bonita Bay, including homes positioned around the Creekside course environment.
Golf exposure should be evaluated according to fairway orientation, distance from play, vegetation, privacy, cart-path relationship and potential golf-ball exposure.
The most valuable view is not necessarily the closest view. A residence with a broader fairway perspective, mature landscape buffer and favorable rear exposure may offer a very different experience from another home within the same neighborhood.
Lake & Preserve Settings
While golf-course positions characterize much of Siena, selected homes also benefit from lake or natural preserve-oriented views.
Lake properties should be compared according to water width, rear exposure, vegetation and neighboring-home visibility. Preserve settings can appeal to buyers prioritizing privacy and natural scenery rather than a more open fairway outlook.
These residential lakes are scenic community water features and should not be confused with navigable Gulf-access waterfront.
Private Pools & Outdoor Living
Private swimming pools are a defining Siena feature. Individual homes may include spas, screened lanais, covered seating, outdoor kitchens, landscaped courtyards and expanded entertaining areas.
Buyers should compare pool finish, heater, pump and automation, enclosure, decking, rear exposure, storm protection and how effectively the outdoor area connects with the kitchen and main living spaces.
Renovation Matters
Siena's primary 1990s construction period means renovation and capital-system condition can create substantial differences between two otherwise comparable residences.
Updated kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and cabinetry improve lifestyle and presentation, but those improvements should be evaluated separately from the roof, windows and doors, shutters, HVAC, water heater, plumbing, electrical systems and pool equipment.
A beautifully renovated interior does not automatically mean that the home's major systems have been modernized.
Roof & Hurricane Protection
Roof age and hurricane protection are important components of Siena resale analysis.
Verify the installation date and permits for the roof, impact-rated windows and doors where present, shutters, garage-door protection and lanai protection.
These improvements can affect expected ownership costs, insurance underwriting and the relative value of two similar homes.
Insurance Due Diligence
Buyers should obtain property-specific homeowners and wind insurance quotations during the inspection period.
Insurance cost and availability can vary according to roof age, construction, storm protection, elevation, prior claims, deductibles and current underwriting standards.
Flood-zone information and any flood-insurance considerations should likewise be verified for the exact address rather than assumed from another Siena property.
Lawn & Neighborhood Maintenance
Siena has historically provided neighborhood-level lawn-care services, helping distinguish the community from Bonita Bay neighborhoods where owners assume a larger share of exterior landscape responsibilities.
Buyers should review the current Siena governing documents, budget, reserves and association disclosures to establish exactly which lawn, landscaping, irrigation or other services are included at the time of purchase.
Association responsibilities and fees can change and should not be inferred solely from a prior sale.
Siena Comparable Sales
Siena's small number of residences makes comparable-sale selection especially important.
Begin with Siena transactions whenever a sufficiently similar home has sold recently. Compare living area, floor plan, golf, lake or preserve setting, pool and lanai, rear exposure, renovation, roof, storm protection, garage and major systems.
If no strong same-neighborhood comparable exists, selected detached-villa transactions elsewhere in Bonita Bay can provide secondary context. Adjustments should be made for neighborhood, residence size, maintenance structure, view and construction generation.
Siena vs. Sanctuary
Buyers seeking detached pool residences with association-supported maintenance may also compare Sanctuary at Bonita Bay .
Sanctuary offers a broader range of detached estate-home sizes. Siena is smaller and more distinctly villa-oriented, with only about twenty-five residences.
Siena vs. Mira Lago
Mira Lago at Bonita Bay is another close comparison for buyers wanting detached pool homes at a manageable scale.
Mira Lago is known particularly for courtyard-oriented plans and distinctive guest configurations, while Siena has a strong golf-course identity with preserve and selected lake positions.
Augusta Creek contains much larger detached luxury villas and occupies a higher segment of the Bonita Bay villa market. Siena generally provides a more manageable residence scale while retaining private pools and golf-oriented surroundings.
Purchasing a Siena residence automatically makes the homeowner a member of the Bonita Bay Community Association, the master association for the community.
The Community Association maintains common areas, roads, streetlights, lakes, storm-water systems and community recreational facilities, including Bonita Bay's resident parks and private Gulf-front beach.
Siena neighborhood obligations, Bonita Bay Community Association membership and private Bonita Bay Club participation should be reviewed as separate components.
Private Gulf-Front Beach
Bonita Bay homeowners have access under current Community Association procedures to the community's privately owned Gulf-front beach facility.
Current amenities include private parking, year-round shuttle service, chairs and lounges, umbrellas, grills, showers, restrooms and interior gathering areas.
Beach access is a Community Association amenity and is separate from direct beachfront property ownership.
Bonita Bay Marina
Bonita Bay Marina is a separate full-service boating facility on the Imperial River offering wet-slip and dry-storage opportunities, fueling and selected marine services subject to current availability and fees.
Purchasing a Siena home does not automatically convey a marina slip, private dock or boat-storage position.
Bonita Bay Club Membership Is Separate
A Siena golf-course view does not mean a private Bonita Bay Club golf membership accompanies the property.
Buyers interested in private golf, racquet sports, fitness, spa, dining and other Club programming should independently verify current membership categories, availability, initiation requirements, dues and any waiting conditions.
Real-estate ownership and private-club participation are separate decisions.
Buying a Siena Home
Begin with the permanent characteristics: floor plan, living area, golf, lake or preserve setting, rear exposure, pool, lanai and garage.
Then evaluate renovation, roof, hurricane protection, HVAC, electrical and plumbing systems, pool equipment, insurance and current association obligations.
Finally, compare the property with the closest Siena sales before expanding the analysis to another Bonita Bay villa neighborhood.
Selling a Siena Residence
Siena sellers should document the characteristics that distinguish their home from the neighborhood's limited inventory.
Lead with floor plan, permitted living area, golf or lake exposure, private pool, rear orientation, lanai and garage.
Support renovation value with records for roof replacement, impact protection or shutters, HVAC, kitchen and bathroom updates, pool improvements and other major capital work where available.
Siena Market Activity
Siena's approximately 25 residences naturally produce low turnover. There may be no active listing for extended periods, and one transaction can materially influence a neighborhood-wide average.
That makes broad price-per-square-foot statistics less useful than matching the actual floor plan, view, pool, renovation and major improvements of the individual residence.
Schulz Realty can help buyers and sellers evaluate Siena according to floor plan, living area, golf, lake or preserve setting, private pool, rear exposure, renovation, roof, storm protection, association responsibilities and the most relevant Siena and Bonita Bay comparable sales.
Siena property availability, residence dimensions, floor plans, golf, lake and preserve views, pool and spa features, landscaping and neighborhood-maintenance services, association responsibilities, fees, reserves, assessments, roof condition, hurricane protection, insurance, rental policies, pet rules and individual property characteristics may change or vary. Bonita Bay Community Association amenities, private-beach procedures, marina opportunities and Bonita Bay Club membership categories, availability, initiation requirements, dues and privileges may also change. Buyers should verify material property, association, insurance, marina and Club information through current governing documents, financial records, permits, inspections, title work and appropriate qualified professionals before purchasing.
