Private vehicle access with proximity to regional airport
Transportation in the Bonita Beach area primarily revolves around private vehicle use, reflecting the suburban nature of the community. The location of Casa Bonita Grande, while offering a secluded beachfront setting, necessitates car travel for most daily activities and errands.
For air travel, Southwest Florida International Airport is conveniently located about 40 minutes away, providing easy access for domestic and international flights. This proximity is particularly beneficial for seasonal residents or those who frequently travel.
While the area immediately surrounding Casa Bonita Grande is not particularly conducive to walking or biking for everyday needs, the beachfront location does offer opportunities for leisurely strolls or bike rides along the coast.

Public transit options are limited in this area, which is common for many beachfront communities in Southwest Florida. Residents and visitors primarily rely on personal vehicles, taxis, or ride-sharing services for transportation needs.
The building's provision of covered parking for residents and ample guest parking aligns with the car-centric nature of the area, ensuring that vehicle storage and access are convenient for both residents and their visitors.
