A. Within the walls of the unit. “Within the walls” is defined as having all openings to the outside closed. (all windows and doors to the outside must be closed)

C. On the Common Element tables near the shuffle board courts.
Secondary smoke is very harmful and is to be avoided to the same extent as primary smoking.

12. Main Water Valve and water heater breaker should be turned off if the unit is vacant over night or longer. When the water is turned off, remember to turn off the refrigerator icemaker too. The guest bath tub water faucet should be opened to avoid water damage.
 
13. Building Entrance Doors and Gates – Keep all doors and gates closed for security reasons.
 
14. Do Not Walk Through The Sea Oats – The sea oats are located between the beach and the building.  This ground cover holds the sand in place during a wind storm. Florida law does not allow people to disturb this sensitive area. Use the openings at the north and south ends of the building to access the beach.

Towels do not reserve deck furniture; bodies do.
Do not feed birds either on the decks or beach.
Children are not permitted to loiter or play on balconies, stairways or elevators.
Children are not permitted in The Club Room without a parent/adult
 
16. Turtle Season - Turtles nest on Bonita Beach from 01 May to 01 November each year. During this time, lights that are seen from the beach can affect turtles making a nest but especially hatchlings trying to find the water. Casa Bonita I turns off all outside lights that may disturb the turtles. Each unit must keep their blinds closed, at night, so inside lights cannot be seen on the beach. The Association, or unit owners, may be fined by Lee County if they don’t comply with turtle rules.
 
17. Second Floor Deck – The deck may be used by all residents, guests and renters until 10:00 PM. Please leave the deck area clean and the table and chairs back where they were found.
 
18. Using the grill – A grill is provided, at the north side of the building, for the use of all residents, guests and renters. During windy periods it is very difficult to light the grill using the grill igniter. A match or propane hand flame can be inserted through a hole in the front bottom casting to start the fire. When the food is finished the grill should be heated to 550 F and the cooking grate should be cleaned with a wire brush. This will leave the grill ready for the next person. Grilling instructions are posted by the grill.
 
19. A/C Drain Line Maintenance – The A/C drain lines become plugged with algae and it is recommended that a ½ cup of bleach be added to the drain line and 30 minutes late a cup of water should be used to flush out the line. This should be done every 6 months.
 
20. No Pets – Pets are prohibited at Casa Bonita I.
 
21. Recycling – Metal cans, plastic containers, glass, newspapers and broken down cardboard boxes should be placed in a container. No plastic bags are allowed so dump the recyclables out and place the plastic bags with the garbage. The recycle containers are near both the north and south entrances enclosed by a white fence.
