But the beaches isn't all Bonita Springs has to offer, as we'll be showing you some of the town's top spots for food and drink and some great non-beach attractions as well.

    4 years ago, we stayed just 6 homes down a street from Pass-A-Grille beach in a VRBO. We became friends with the owner, Demetrius, who also owned 2 other homes there, and he bought them to supplement his retirement. He kept them up so well, as these were all original 1930’s small homes around 900sq ft. About 2.5 years ago he let us know that St.Pete had changed the zoning laws and no longer let the Pass-A-Grille community rent or sublet, as anything like VRBO be allowed any longer. This council decision totally ruined his retirement income plans, as he had to sell all 3 properties. Such a shame, as it was driven by big city investors in a way to enable them to eat up the properties. I speculate within 10 more years as the existing property owners die off and/or others to sell, Pass-A-Grille will change forever from a quaint old FL community to spoiled resorts and only a matter of time when the Don Caesar gets bought out and levelled. Give it 20 years and it will all be a memory; so experience Pass-A-Grille while you still can, as old FL appeal…..and fight the change by lobbying as you can!

    • @Explorcation
      @Explorcation День тому

      We sure hope your prediction is wrong, as we love Pass-A-Grille just the way it is, but sadly it wouldn't surprise us if it does end up that way. People who rely on that short term rental income to make a living should definitely be grandfathered in when the city decides to make zoning changes like that.

    AHHHHH… my favorite American beach area; Pass-A-Grille beach!!!! After Mom married my step Dad, and I was aged 14, we’d been vacationing there every year since 1979. My step aunt Rosie and uncle Jep had moved there from CN in 1977, hence why we came to visit my newly acquired family. In near later years, unfortunately uncle Jep passed of brain cancer, and many years later, aunt Rosie passed of the same. While she was alive, a few members of my step family ensured aunt Rosies financial life by buying her home, paying her in a lump sum to invest, and then letting her live in her home for the rest of her life. It became the family home with the relatives coming down to stay with her, and maintaining her property, helping her with day to day, and still vacationing. Aunt Nadia held the largest share of 60%, so after aunt Rosie passed, aunt Nadia and uncle Don moved into it, and we were all still welcome. It was a fantastic time from the first day in 1979 through 2014 when aunt Nadia and uncle Don realised the property value had quadrupled, and we who were invested agreed to sell. We had bought it from aunt Rosie for a bit more than value at the time for 120k, and, well, do the math. I wanted to purchase it, but still had a mortgage on my residence, and two investment properties, and two young children, so I had to pass of buying it. I still miss that modest home of 1400sq ft 2 bed, 1 bath, seven miles in from Pass-A-Grille in St.Pete. It was always kept up but still maintained, perfectly, that 1952 early FL charm complete with tile roof, stucco exterior and FL-aqua coloured exterior amidst the neighbourhood of the same perfectly maintained original charm. BTW, Zillow (for what they’re worth) has it currently valued at $550k… lol. Oh well

    • @Explorcation
      @Explorcation День тому

      We certainly understand why it's your favorite. We're sure you've seen it change a lot over the last 25 years, but we're thankful that it's still held on to so much of it's old Florida charm. We can hardly believe how much property values in this area have gone up just since we moved here almost 12 years ago. We would have absolutely purchased a condo on the beach if we'd known how much the values would rise, but hind sight's always 20/20!

    Awesome video. I've visited all of the springs on your list, and while these are all great, there are others perhaps even nicer in Central Florida. I'd recommend the springs of Ocala Forest: Silver Glen, Alexander, and Juniper/Fern Hammock. Another good one is Chasahowitzka south of Spring Hill where the brave (or fool hardy) can swim under ground between the spring vents. Please do a video of the equally beautiful springs of North Florida.

    • @Explorcation
      @Explorcation День тому

      Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to share some of your knowledge and experiences, Gordon! We absolutely plan to visit some of the springs in Ocala Forest in the future. Unfortunately when we do, there may be no video, as it's a National Forest and as of now it's still not permitted to film monetized videos in a national forest. Perhaps that may change in the future though. We'll definitely get up to some of the more northern springs sooner or later too. The thought of swimming under ground between spring vents sounds a bit scary, but I'd probably give it a try!

    So, when it comes to wings, like Skylar, I definitely prefer the drummies. The flats are too much work for me, and I think they tend to have more chicken skin, which I'm not a big fan of. Plus, the drummies always tend to have more meat on them.

    • @Explorcation
      @Explorcation 3 дні тому

      Exactly. Drummies have more meat, plus I think they are easier to eat as well. I'm with you on the skin thing as well. I'll gladly eat flats all day as well, but it's a pretty easy choice between the two for me!

    • @Explorcation

    The beaches look amazing. I haven't been that far south . It will be on my list of places to go. I checked out the Trianon website, besides February and March, the rates seemd very reasonable. This doesn't pertain to this video. My friend and I went to Saint Pete's a couple years ago. We stopped at this little dive bar, which we loved. We came back to Minnesota and couldn't remember what it was called. My buddy called me the other day and said Dead Bob's. Have you ever been to Dead Bob's? Another wonderful video!

      We hope you are able to plan a trip soon 😀we were surprised that there were a few hotels in the area that were reasonable! While the Trianon is quite dated inside, we didn't mind at all as we were out and about most of the time. We sure have been to Dead Bob's 😊 we agree its a great spot!

      Same here, Kim. The first time we saw Bonita Springs we had just passed through on our way from FMB to Naples. We noticed how beautiful the water was, but never stopped by any of the beaches. Turns out that was a mistake. We're glad we eventually made it back to visit. The water was even prettier than we expected and the city had a really good vibe. We hope you get a chance to experience it for yourself soon!

      Thanks, Rhonda! Any time time we can get amazing beaches and old Florida charm together, it's our type of place! And yes, finally hit 40k! Hoping for 50k within a few months and 100k in 2025. Gotta aim big, right?!

    I lived on Main street in a loft apartment in downtown Buffalo NY for years and I could walk to the Anchor Bar -Home of the Buffalo Wings...but honestly, the best wings I ever had were at the Doubletree in Redington Beach!! Went there with friends when visiting and we just kept ordering more ! Sooo good! Anchor Bar had too much sauce for me, floating in the sauce.

    • @Explorcation
      @Explorcation 4 дні тому

      Oh wow, we've eaten at the DoubleTree in Redington Beach, but I don't believe we ever ordered the wings. Now we are definitely going to have to make a trip back! I'm not a huge fan of over-sauced wings either, so I understand why the Anchor Bar's weren't your favorites. We visited several years back, and while we did like them, they were far from the best we've had.
