Buy Your Next Home on Little Hickory Island with the #1 Team in Southwest Florida Since 2012. Little Hickory Island is the barrier island of beach, bay and canal homes on Hickory Boulevard in Bonita Beach, inside the City of Bonita Springs and Lee County. Our Little Hickory Island community guide covers the island in full; this page is for buyers: what homes cost, how to choose a side of the road, what flood, height and insurance rules mean for an offer, and what you pay at closing. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873, or jump to your Little Hickory Island buyer consultation.
McGreevy and Comisar are the best realtor for buying on Little Hickory Island because we read the island from the record: every recorded sale by frontage, FEMA's map at the lot, the City's island height rule and the bridge clearances a boat must pass. We lead Domain Realty Group, the #1 real estate team in Southwest Florida since 2012 and the #5 real estate team in Florida (RealTrends 2026).
Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County recorded sales through September 25, 2026; Southwest Florida MLS pulled October 27, 2026).
As Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, we read the whole record. In the last 12 months we tracked 21 Little Hickory Island sales in the Lee County record at a $2,600,000 median and 19 single-family closings in the MLS at a $2,600,000 median, with a 93.02 percent median sold-to-list ratio: room to negotiate on a priced-right offer.
Marc Comisar leads buyer representation; Jesse McGreevy negotiates; our Domain Realty Group partners handle inspections, insurance quotes and the closing file. Read how we represent buyers in Southwest Florida. If you are still comparing teams, our guide to the best real estate agents in Bonita Beach sets out the criteria.
A Little Hickory Island buyer should know seven facts first: the island has no association over its houses, frontage sets price, every lot we queried is in a flood zone, the City's height rule cannot be waived, Big Hickory Pass sits under a 10-foot bridge, Lee County schools serve it, and 21 houses were active with none pending on October 27, 2026.
Data updated: October 2026.
Buying a Little Hickory Island home in 2026 means choosing a side of Hickory Boulevard, getting the flood and wind insurance quote before you offer, checking what the City lets you build or rebuild, and negotiating against a 93.02 percent median sold-to-list market with about 13.3 months of supply.
Data updated: October 2026.
Gulf side for the beach; bay or canal side for a dock. The price gap is large: the roll's median house value is $7,407,349 on the Gulf and $1,049,084 on a canal.
Ask for the seller's elevation certificate, wind mitigation report and flood claim history; get a flood and wind quote before you commit.
If you might rebuild, confirm the zoning, the lot width and, on the Gulf, the coastal construction control line.
Twenty-one houses were active on October 27, 2026, from $1,399,000 to $18,250,000.

The year's sold-to-list ratios ran from 78.9 percent to 100 percent; a listing priced against its frontage group sells, one priced against the island's top end waits.

164 parcels, 129 houses, median heated area 4,308 square feet, 85 pools; 30 sales over 60 months at a $7,150,000 median. For the buyer who wants the beach at the back door and a newer elevated house.

City of Bonita Springs code governs building, and a title commitment lists any recorded restriction on a lot.
Data updated: October 2026 (Florida Division of Corporations read October 17, 2026).
No dues, no estoppel, no architectural board outside Cape Hickory; City permits for everything.
The seller provides the HOA disclosure summary under section 720.401, Florida Statutes, and you receive the association's documents before closing.
Owning a Little Hickory Island home costs property tax at 12.7970 mills (2025), flood and wind insurance priced from the elevation certificate, utilities from Bonita Springs Utilities, and, if you rent, a $100-per-unit City permit every three years. At $2,462,500, 12.7970 mills is $31,512.61 before exemptions.
Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser TRIM notice read October 17, 2026).
The proposed 2026 rate is 12.8217 mills. A homestead buyer takes the exemption and the Save Our Homes cap from the following year.
Federal flood building coverage caps at $250,000; Citizens requires flood coverage for dwellings of $400,000 or more replacement cost and for all policies from January 1, 2027.
Bonita Springs Utilities for water and sewer; Bonita Springs Fire Rescue Station 27 on Hickory Boulevard.
On Little Hickory Island you can build 35 feet above the minimum required flood elevation, never more than 40 feet in total, with no variance; RS-1 zoning allows 40 percent lot coverage and requires a 50-foot Gulf setback. You can rent a house with a City rental permit and, for short stays, a state license.
Data updated: October 2026 (City of Bonita Springs code read October 17, 2026).
The 50 percent rule means substantial work on a house below today's flood elevation brings it up to current rules; many buyers buy to rebuild.
RS-1 needs 75 feet of width; a 50-foot lot of record needs a City determination.
$100 per unit City permit, inspection, three years; state vacation rental license under section 509.242 for short stays; Lee County tourist tax.
Buy a bay or canal lot on Little Hickory Island for a boat: the county roll records 182 seawalls and 47 docks, the City allows a dock up to 25 percent of the channel width (20 percent in the Estero Bay Aquatic Preserve), and boats reach the Gulf through Big Hickory Pass (10-foot bridge), New Pass (30 feet) or Wiggins Pass.
Data updated: October 2026 (U.S. Coast Pilot 5, 2026; City Ordinance 23-11).
Measure your boat against the Coast Pilot's 10-foot clearance at Big Hickory Pass and 30 feet at New Pass before you buy for the boat.
Ask for the City dock, lift and seawall permits; the roll's dock flag undercounts.
Seasonal slow speed, April 1 to November 15, across Estero Bay and Big Hickory Bay north of 26°20′51″ north, under 50 CFR 17.108.
Little Hickory Island and Barefoot Beach share a barrier island and differ in county, gate and rules. Little Hickory Island is open, in the City of Bonita Springs and Lee County, with no association over its houses; Barefoot Beach is gated in unincorporated Collier County with a mandatory association, and its buyer customarily pays the owner's title policy.
Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County record; our Barefoot Beach guide, October 2026).
| You want | Little Hickory Island | Barefoot Beach |
|---|---|---|
| A gate | no | yes |
| No association approvals | yes | no |
| Lee County schools | yes | no |
| City services | Bonita Springs | unincorporated Collier |
| Buyer pays owner's title policy (custom) | no (seller, Lee) | yes (Collier) |
| 12-month county sales | 21 at $2,600,000 median | 25 at $2,800,000 median (per our guide) |
Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, we show buyers both sides of the county line. Choose Little Hickory Island for freedom to rebuild and Lee schools; choose Barefoot Beach for a gate and association standards. Our Barefoot Beach buyer guide covers that side.
Beside Little Hickory Island's houses, a Bonita Beach buyer weighs the island's condominiums, such as Bonita Beach Club and Seascape, and the mainland houses of Bonita Shores across the bay, where Collier County recorded 24 sales at a $590,000 median in the 12 months to August 17, 2026.
Data updated: October 2026.
| Choice | County | Product | 12-month county sales |

| Little Hickory Island houses | Lee | single-family, Gulf, bay, canal | 21, $2,600,000 median |
| Bonita Shores | Collier | single-family grid, no water | 24, $590,000 median |
| Island condominiums | Lee | condominium units | per building guide |
See our Bonita Shores buyer guide and Bonita Springs buyer guide.
At ten Little Hickory Island points we queried on FEMA's November 17, 2022 map, the Gulf front reads Zone VE with a 13-foot base flood elevation and the bay and canal streets Zone AE with 10 or 11 feet; every point is in evacuation Zone A and a 170 mile-per-hour design wind area.
Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser hazard layers read October 17, 2026).
The elevation certificate (the City keeps copies), the flood claim history (disclosed under section 689.302 since October 1, 2025) and the roof and opening protection record.
Each foot above the base flood elevation cuts premiums by nearly half and each foot below doubles them, per the City.
Hurricanes shape a Little Hickory Island purchase: Ian's surge reached 8 to 12 feet above ground in Bonita Beach in 2022, Milton buried Hickory Boulevard in sand in 2024, and the island is evacuation Zone A. Buyers buy elevation, permits and insurance, not just a view.
Data updated: October 2026 (National Hurricane Center; City of Bonita Springs).
Twenty island houses carry a 2023 or later year built; the beach was nourished in 2023 and 2025; Lee County is restoring the beach parks from September 2026.
Lee County ordered Zones A and B to evacuate before Milton; the island has two exits, the Bonita Beach Road bridge and the causeway north.
Insurance on a Little Hickory Island house needs a flood policy and a wind and homeowner policy. Federal flood building coverage caps at $250,000 with a 30-day wait for new policies, Citizens requires flood coverage on its policies, and wind credits come from a mitigation inspection.
Data updated: October 2026 (FloodSmart; section 627.351, Florida Statutes).
NFIP up to $250,000 building and $100,000 contents; private or excess flood above that for larger houses. The City's 2022 ordinance notice records CRS Class 5.
170 mph design wind; impact openings or protection; wind mitigation credits under section 627.0629.
Bind coverage before the inspection period ends; a 30-day wait applies to new NFIP policies except at loan closing.
Inspect a Little Hickory Island home for the coast: elevation and foundation, roof and openings, seawall and dock, storm repairs and their permits, and corrosion from salt air. A four-point and wind mitigation inspection feed the insurance quote, so order them early in the inspection period.
Data updated: October 2026.
Lowest floor against the base flood elevation, breakaway walls under a VE house, roof age, impact openings, seawall cap and tiebacks, dock condition, post-2022 permits.
Pull permits by address; unpermitted work after the storms is a negotiation item.
At closing a Little Hickory Island buyer with a loan pays the mortgage note's documentary stamps of $0.35 per $100, the intangible tax of $0.002 per $1 of the loan, the lender's title policy, recording and lender fees, and prorated taxes; in Lee County the seller customarily pays the owner's title policy and the deed stamps, and the contract controls.
Data updated: October 2026 (sections 201.08 and 199.133, Florida Statutes, read October 17, 2026).
| Line | At $2,462,500 with an 80 percent loan of $1,970,000 |

| Intangible tax ($0.002 per $1) | $3,940.00 |
| Owner's title policy and deed stamps | customarily the seller's in Lee County |
Section 201.08, Florida Statutes, sets the note stamp tax (https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2025/201.08); section 199.133 the intangible tax (https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2025/199.133). Lender, appraisal, survey and inspection fees vary by provider.
A cash buyer pays no note stamps or intangible tax.
After you buy, your Little Hickory Island assessment resets toward market value on the next January 1 roll; the 2025 rate was 12.7970 mills and the proposed 2026 rate 12.8217. A homestead adds the exemption and caps assessment growth at 3 percent or CPI.
Data updated: October 2026.

Second homes are capped at 10 percent assessment growth a year under section 193.1555.
Since the August 2024 national settlement practice changes, a buyer signs a written buyer-broker agreement before touring, and buyer's agent compensation is negotiable and disclosed. We explain the agreement, the compensation and who pays before you tour a Little Hickory Island house.
Data updated: October 2026.
A written agreement naming the compensation and its terms; you can negotiate it.
A seller may offer to contribute to buyer costs; we ask on every offer.
Financing a Little Hickory Island home usually means a jumbo loan, flood and wind insurance bound before closing, and an appraisal that needs frontage-matched comparables from the island's thin sales record. Freddie Mac publishes weekly average rates in its Primary Mortgage Market Survey.
Data updated: October 2026.
Most island houses exceed conforming limits; lenders review insurance, elevation and condition closely.
We give the appraiser frontage-matched county and MLS sales so the value holds.
