Absolutely not!  Appliances, construction debris, and anything that can "jam up" the compactor should not be put in the compactor.
The speed limit on Trost Blvd is 30 mph.  The speed limit on the side streets is 15 mph.

It is important to recognize and follow the posted speed limits as well as the other signs for the safety of our residents and visitors.  This is a very active community with many golf carts, bikers and walkers.  Expect to see them on every street and drive with care.

Also watch the "one way" signs on the canal streets as only ONE car can pass at a time on those roads.
Power washing, window and screen cleaning, pet grooming, airport rides, home watch, weed pulling, handyman services and more.  You can find the services listed in the Activities office located across from the Aqua Club on Gardenia.
Short answer:  wherever there is water.

Long Answer:
  • Trost Pond in Belle Villa
  • Turtle Pond off Hamlin Road and 13th Street
  • Red Blush Pond in the MH section
  • The canal off Hamlin Road
  • The canal off Holly Road
1. Check with the mail room - 989-529-8618 (text)
2. Check your neighbors.
3. Post a message on the groups.io or other social media related to the community.

If those don't work, contact UPS, Walmart, Amazon or the company that delivered your package.
All of the RV addresses start with:
25501 Trost Blvd  followed by the street, then a dash, then the lot number. The 3rd line is Bonita Springs, FL 34135.

EX: the person who lives on15th street at lot 24 would be:

Roger Resident
25501 Trost Blvd, 15-24
Bonita Springs, FL 34135

On Hamlin Road and 10th Street in the RV section.
Contact the main office and let them know you would like to be put on the list.
No. Effective July 2023, FL law states teens must be at least 15 and hold a learner’s permit or 16 and hold a driver’s license. Individuals 18 and over need a valid ID issued by the government to operate a golf cart.  Further children should NOT be sitting on your lap while you drive.  
We have not had a bulk trash location since approximately 2022 when they started building the Royal Palm.  You can contact Pete Linkowski @ 914-469-3088, he offers bulk pick up for a reasonable fee.
