If you're like many of the local residents and vacationers, you get one good look at the turquoise waters and you start thinking boat. The ultimate dream in Bonita Springs, Florida is to own a home on a canal so that you own boat is floating in your own back yard. Realizing the dream for some, is out of range due to the fact that waterfront, gulf access, canal homes are a premium piece of real estate.
