About this property

Paradise Found - Don't Miss Out on this 5 Star Home!

This spectacular home is updated and beautifully decorated - your private oasis awaits! This single-story home has a total living space of 2,455 SF (2,246 under AC) and a serene lake front location which also provides views across to the 12th tee box/fairway of Bonita National Golf & Country Club. Close enough to see the golfers but you have privacy with scenic lake and landscaped yard - float in the pool and watch golfers across the lake. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac street in Bonita National Golf & Country Club this home has everything you could want right on the property. With full membership transfer, guests are able to access the 18-Hole Championship Golf Course, state of the art Fitness Center, Spin Studio, Resort Style Pool, Lighted Clay Tennis Courts, full-service Spa, Pro-Shop and an Aqua Golf Range. For your culinary experiences there are three dining options…the clubhouse features two restaurants and there is the ever-popular pool side tiki bar and grill. The Activities Director provides a full schedule of fun events to meet a wide-range of interests. Those that just transfer the Social Membership will have access to all the amenities except for golf. Bonita National is a very active community and you will see many people biking, running and taking scenic walks throughout the community to admire the natural beauty of Bonita National’s conservation areas and lakes. A great location - there are beautiful beaches minutes away: Bonita Beach, Lovers Key, Barefoot Beach are just 15 minutes and Naples beaches are just 20 minutes. Easily accessible, Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) is less than 21 miles away - you will be in paradise before you know it! Rental periods of longer than 30 days may qualify for a reduced nightly rate. Now let’s talk about our home…The pictures posted here are of our actual home! This is NOT your typical rental house - it has been professionally decorated, furnished and is well stocked with everything you will need! The spacious open, airy floor plan lives large and is great for entertaining. Upgraded with numerous details such as tray ceilings, crown molding, plantation shutters & specialty lighting in all the rooms. The great room features a 70” HDTV Smart TV, comfortable seating and bar area. PURA VIDA is great for entertaining or just relaxing on your own after a day at the beach or on the links. The gourmet kitchen has upgraded GE Profile stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops and all cooking utensils, small appliances and amenities you’ll need and more! The dining area features a gorgeous table that seats 6+ in addition to bar seating in the kitchen. If you prefer dining "al fresco" - we have a beautiful outdoor table that seats 6. The master suite is your place to escape and relax…curl up with a book in the reading nook, get your TV fix with a 40" HDTV, or soak in the large roman tub in your own luxurious master bath with separate sinks, separate glass shower and a private toilet room. Large walk-in closet and private access to the lanai is what makes this the perfect retreat. Bedrooms 2 and 3 both have king beds and are in a separate part of the house, along with the 2nd bath with a beautiful glassed-in shower. This guest wing has a bonus with a pocket-door that can be closed off to ensure privacy and turn this area into its own two-bedroom suite. Den/Office or 4th bedroom with French doors is a multi-purpose room. Set up as an office for those that still have work needs, and then if a 4th bedroom is needed, there is sofa with a queen memory foam mattress plus a walk-in closet. All bedrooms/baths have all high-quality linens, towels, hairdryers and we have made sure you have plenty of hangers. It is those little extras that make Pura Vida the PERFECT home away from home. A covered screened in lanai with lounge seating, TV, UPDATED outdoor kitchen as well as a dining table with a fire pit complete the outdoor living space - the refreshing pool and relaxing spa finish off this outdoor oasis. We have a large umbrella for those that want shade and lounge chairs for the "sun-worshipers"! The umbrella even lights up at night. The home has a two-car garage and is located within walking distance to the clubhouse. PURA VIDA is decorated with soothing colors and unique accents that make for a one-of-a-kind “model home” experience.

Beautiful Home in a Friendly Community with Wonderful Owners!

My wife and I rented Pura Vida for the month of January, and we highly recommend this home to others. The home is beautiful, and the Bonita National Golf and Country Club has all the amenities (golf, tennis, pools, restaurants, gym, etc.) one could ask for, including friendly neighbors and staff. Sarah and Brad had everything we could ask for. . . all we had to think is "I wonder if there is a ____". . . and lo and behold, we found it. They thought of everything. Also when we had a minor issue with some leaky plumbing, we contacted them, and it was fixed the next day. We had a daughter, son-in-law, and 3 small children with us for one of the four weeks we stayed, so the only thing we didn't have, was quick access to the ocean, which was about a 30 minute drive away. . . still, not too bad. Sarah and Brad are a pleasure to work with, and if you're looking for a beautiful, stress free place to stay, this is it!

The month flew by wonderfully!

Beautiful home, with top notch amenities, pool, spa, outdoor kitchen and seating, even better than the photos and description! Sarah and Brad were amazing and helpful hosts! The Bonita National community and facilities were also outstanding and welcoming and our “membership” was as good as being full time residents. Truly a great month that ended way too soon!

Our Perfect Trip

Where do I start? The owners of this property were above and beyond organized and available. The house was not only beautiful, but, it was so very organized. Sarah and Brad obviously took great care when planning out the details of their house. It is so comfortable in every way, and there is nothing to want for. Sarah frequently checked in with us via text to make sure we were happy and that we didn't need anything. We had no incidents that required us to contact her, and everything went smoothly. The club house and its amenities were very nice, and the neighborhood in general was wonderful. We frequently walked and biked throughout the neighborhood and beyond its gates. I cannot recommend this property enough, and the community as a whole. For any golfers out there, the golfing is great, but do try to reserve a time far in advance if possible. Like all of the Bonita golf courses this time of year, it can be tough to find a tee time due to all of the Snow Birds this time of year. :)

Sarah and Brad are amazing hosts. They have thought of absolutely everything.

The home was immaculate and so well organized and stocked with every essential you can imagine. They even have an app that you download that answers any question you might have. They were also always available for a call or question. This was the best vacation rental home experience we have ever had.

Excellent Southwest Florida Home

We stayed in this home for several weeks in the spring/early summer of 2021, and absolutely loved our stay. This home is exceptionally well appointed, has a beautiful view, private pool and hot tub, and is perfect for family stays. The owners were very responsive and hospitable, and we’d certainly come back to this home again in the future, and recommend highly to other guests.

Exceptional!

What a wonderful time! Brad and Sarah have a very lovely, very clean home. It felt like home. Great location. Close to the airport, shopping, beach, and restaurants. Community is very nice. Everyone is very friendly. My husband enjoyed the golf course very much. Brad and Sarah were terrific. Very accommodating, accessible. They made sure we had everything we needed. We are already talking about going back next year. Thank you Brad and Sarah!

Owners thought of Everything!

Property was a wonderful home away from home. From the beautiful decor to the outside entertainment area, one really does not feel a need to leave this vacation home. But if you do, owners have everything you need for a day at the beach. Coming home from the beach, they also have everything to entertain at their beautiful home. Thank you!

Superb stay!

Sarah and Brad are responsive, gracious hosts who put a lot of effort into making our stay easy, relaxing and everything we wanted. Their attention to detail is evident in both the home itself and their support when needed. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a social, pool and golf vacay at Bonita National.

Fantastic!!!

It’s going to be hard to summarize how amazing our stay at puravida was! We were lucky enough to stay at Sarah and brads beautiful house for 2 months, from the moment we walked in until the moment we left it was more than we could’ve hoped for! We were made to feel like it was our home for the duration of the stay, everything you might need is there! As a cook I’m always critical of the kitchen equipment but there was everything you could possibly need or want from a cheese knife to a lobster pot! I was unfortunate to have a very close bereavement during my stay at puravida, and Sarah and Brad were so accommodating and supportive. Bonita National is stunning and has a feel of “ resort living” but with the added luxury of feeing like home! Beautiful place, fantastic house and super hosts. Thank you Sarah and brad for everything!

About the host

Hosted by Brad & Sarah Hildebrand

Host profile image
Brad & Sarah Hildebrand
We call Southwest Florida home and absolutely love it here! We discovered this slice of paradise years ago from friends who had purchased homes here for a seasonal escape. When we purchased the home we lived in Dallas, Texas - since then remote work options have allowed us to live in the area full-time. Our primary residence is in Bonita Springs about 12 miles from our Bonita National home. We take such pride in ensuring our home is all that you imagined and more!

We both have active careers and until we can take advantage of slowing down our work lives, we look forward to sharing our wonderful home with guests seeking to escape the cold or possibly discover their forever home like we did!

Why they chose this property

After much searching and knowing that we did want to purchase in Bonita National the search began for that "perfect" house. We really liked the Isabella model floor plan - then seeing the lake views with the eastern sun is what made this our choice! Why Eastern? Facing east you get great morning sunshine that cascades across the pool and lanai which energizes us in the morning. You then have sun on the pool during the day but the lanai stays shaded. Then comes the sunset time where you avoid the beating sun in the back of the house but rather have
BEAUTIFUL sunset lit pool. The reflections are spectacular! Then if you want to see the direct sunset you just walk out the front door and see your western view. It is PURA VIDA!

What makes this property unique

Staying within a secure, gated Golf & Resort Community in a single family house is the only way to vacation or escape! Just read all that Bonita National has to offer - it is a WOW!
