Hickory Shores —
Kitchen & Bath Remodeling.
Twenty-one residences directly on the sand — Hickory Shores is boutique Bonita Beach, a circa-1974 mid-rise with hundreds of feet of private beachfront and coastline views from Naples to Sanibel. We remodel its kitchens and baths on fixed contracts sized to a building where renovated units command $899,000.
Built 1974. Twenty-One Residences.
Boutique Beachfront, Priced Like It.
Hickory Shores is one of only a handful of buildings sitting directly on the sand in Bonita Springs — a modest 1974 mid-rise with just twenty-one residences, a heated pool, under-building parking, and open lanais with unobstructed Gulf views from Naples to Sanibel plus back-bay views behind. With only three leases a year allowed, this is an owners’ building, quieter and more residential than its rental-heavy neighbors.
Scarcity does the pricing. Renovated Hickory Shores units list at $899,000 — a fully renovated, professionally designed turnkey 1,269-square-footer, and another with a rare 400-square-foot sunroom — while the building’s ~$850K median makes it one of the strongest per-foot addresses on the beach. Twenty-one units means listings are rare, buyers wait, and a properly finished interior meets zero renovated competition when it does come to market. On a fifty-year-old building, the interior is where that premium is made.

Hickory Shores kitchen remodels typically run $25.5K–$102K depending on scope — the same comp-driven model behind every community on this site, applied to the building’s ~$850K median. Standard timeline is 6–10 weeks including permitting; Rush delivery in 4–6 weeks carries a 20% upcharge.
A 1974 kitchen at Hickory Shores was built to face away from the reason people buy here. Closed galley walls, low soffits, and short cabinet runs turn their back on a direct Gulf panorama — so the defining move in this building is opening the kitchen to the living room and the water. In 1,269 to 1,373 square feet, that one wall changes how the entire residence lives, and we map exactly what the slab and stacks allow during the free LiDAR scan before anything is promised.
Because this is an owners’ building with an $899K comp ceiling, most Hickory Shores clients build at the Better and Best tiers — semi-custom or full custom cabinetry, quartzite or natural stone, and appliance packages specified for direct-beachfront salt exposure. Twenty-one units also means one elevator and tight logistics; staging and association scheduling are engineered before day one.

Hickory Shores bathroom remodels typically run $17K–$43K per bath. Standard timeline is 4–6 weeks including permitting; Rush delivery in 3–4 weeks carries a 20% upcharge. Both bathrooms in one mobilization saves on both.
Fifty-year-old plumbing is the quiet risk in a 1974 beachfront building, so a Hickory Shores bath remodel starts behind the walls: both baths opened in one mobilization, original supply lines and shutoffs replaced on the shared stack, full membrane waterproofing and moisture-rated backer in every wet wall. Directly on the Gulf, that hidden layer outlasts any tile choice — and it is what lets the visible layer stay beautiful.
With only three leases a year, Hickory Shores baths are built for owners, not turnover: natural stone where it earns its keep, dual-sink custom vanities, curbless walk-ins and heated floors in the primary — the finish level the building’s $899K renovated listings have made the standard. The guest bath typically takes a tub-to-shower conversion with frameless glass to match.
