vivid shores

Vivid Shores is a gated lakefront community in Bonita Springs, located off Bonita Grande Drive north of Bonita Beach Road. Developed through a partnership between Pulte Homes and Stock Development, the community is distinguished by its expansive turquoise freshwater lakes and emphasis on waterfront living. Vivid Shores consists exclusively of single-family homes, with residences positioned throughout landscaped neighborhoods offering a combination of lake and preserve settings. The community's large lakes are more than simply scenic features, with opportunities for boating and other recreational activities creating a lifestyle that is relatively unusual among newer Southwest Florida residential developments.

The community is designed around a 13-acre lakefront amenity campus anchored by an approximately 15,000-square-foot clubhouse overlooking the water. Resort-style swimming, fitness and wellness facilities, pickleball, tennis, bocce, boating, dining and social spaces create an extensive recreational environment, while walking trails and golf-cart-friendly paths connect residents with the broader community. Vivid Shores does not have a golf course or mandatory country club membership, allowing the lifestyle to focus instead on water, recreation, wellness and social activities. Its Bonita Springs location also provides convenient access to I-75, Gulf beaches, shopping, dining, healthcare and destinations throughout Naples, Estero and Fort Myers.
