Marina Isle is a 14-home single-family court beside the Bonita Bay Marina in Bonita Springs, built 1999 to 2004, with recorded dock rights on five lots and two qualified sales in 60 months. Sell or buy with McGreevy and Comisar.
McGreevy and Comisar are the #1 real estate team in Southwest Florida selling and buying homes in Marina Isle at Bonita Bay. Marina Isle at Bonita Bay is a 14-home single-family neighborhood on one cul-de-sac street, Marina Isle Court, inside the master-planned community of Bonita Bay in Bonita Springs, Florida. Every home sits on a numbered lot of Bonita Bay Unit 46 (Plat Book 60, Page 67), was built from 1999 to 2004, and carries 3,313 to 4,380 heated square feet on the Lee County roll. The head of the court sits beside the Bonita Bay Marina on the Imperial River, a 6.09-acre association preserve wraps the backs of most lots, and five of the fourteen legal descriptions name a boat slip or a numbered dock. Whether you’re ready to sell your Marina Isle home or buy your next one, we’re the team that delivers: Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012, and over $900 million in personal sales between Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar.
The Lee County qualified-deed record shows 2 Marina Isle sales in the 60 months since November 2021, both on one house: 27710 Marina Isle Court recorded $2,100,000 on November 22, 2021 and $2,400,000 on January 12, 2026. Two sales cannot make a reliable median, so this guide lists them and explains what they do and do not tell a seller. The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled September 30, 2026, counted that same January closing as the only Marina Isle sale in the prior 12 months, with no home listed for sale and none pending on the pull date. If you are choosing an agent to sell or buy here, our comparison of the best real estate agents in Bonita Springs shows how local agents stack up on the public record.
This guide is built from the Lee County Property Appraiser parcel roll and qualified-sale file (index dated November 3, 2026), the legal descriptions of all 16 Marina Isle parcels, Lee County’s parcel and hydrography map layers, the Florida Division of Corporations record for the Marina Isle association, the Bonita Bay Community Association’s recorded Declaration and public pages, the Bonita Bay Marina’s public pages, FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer, Lee County’s evacuation layer, the City of Bonita Springs, Florida’s homeowners’ association statute and the Southwest Florida MLS figures pulled on September 30, 2026. Where the public record stops, we say so and name the document that answers the question.

That matters in Marina Isle for a specific reason. Fourteen homes on one court do not produce a market you can read from a median. In five years only one house changed hands at a qualified price, twice, and the next most recent qualified deed, 27750 Marina Isle Court at $2,800,000 on October 13, 2021, landed three weeks before the 60-month window opened. A Marina Isle price therefore has to be built house by house: the lot (from 0.108 acre to 0.475 acre on the county map), whether the legal description carries a slip or dock right, whether the lot backs onto the preserve or the seawalled river edge, the heated size, the age of the roof and the windows, and how the house has been updated since it was built around the turn of the century.
Recent Marina Isle track record (last 12 months): In the 12 months to September 30, 2026 the Lee County record holds one qualified Marina Isle deed, 27710 Marina Isle Court at $2,400,000 on January 12, 2026, and the Southwest Florida MLS, pulled September 30, 2026, shows the same closing at $2,400,000 against a $2,675,000 list price (89.7% of list) after 71 days on market. On the pull date no Marina Isle home was listed for sale and none was pending. We will walk you through that sale, the earlier sales of every home on the court, and what each one says about yours.
Honors and recognition:
Marina Isle at Bonita Bay, section by section. Each link below jumps to its part of this guide, from the county deed record and the 14 homes on Marina Isle Court to the preserve, the recorded dock rights, the marina next door, the flood zone, the comparison with Coconut Isle, the seller section and the sources behind every figure.
Living in Marina Isle at Bonita Bay means owning one of 14 large single-family homes on a single private court at the south edge of Bonita Bay, next to the Bonita Bay Marina and the Imperial River, with an association preserve behind most lots, a shared pool tract, and every master amenity of Bonita Bay inside the gates.
Marina Isle Court sits beside Marina Pointe Drive at the community’s southern edge, the part of Bonita Bay closest to the Imperial River. On the county parcel map the marina’s land, the Bonita Boat Harbor parcel at 27598 Marina Pointe Drive that the county describes as the “parcel north of Imperial River,” lies about 17 meters from Lot 1 at the head of the court. Marina Pointe Drive’s own eleven river-coded homes, platted as Bonita Bay Unit 22, line the other side of that approach.
Marina Isle is a small, finished single-family neighborhood. The plat, Bonita Bay Unit 46, was recorded at Plat Book 60, Page 67; the county’s earliest recorded lot deeds on the court date to December 1997 and 1998, and the first homes on the roll were completed in 1999. By 2004 the last lot had a house. Every home lot is zoned planned development (PUD) on the county parcel layer, and every home is a detached house with one living unit on the roll. The neighborhood’s own association owns the street, the preserve, the dock tract and the recreation tract.
Marina Isle is not an island, not a condominium and not a neighborhood where every home has a private dock behind it. The name describes the setting by the marina, not a lot surrounded by water: on the county map most lots back onto association preserve and wetland, and only one lot, at the far end of the court, has a seawall on the roll. It is not an age-restricted community. It is not a place where prices can be read from a monthly report: with two qualified deeds in five years, a value is built from the house, the lot and the documents.
The plat created Lots 1 to 16. Two of them no longer exist as separate home sites. The county legal descriptions show Lot 8 divided in halves, the north half joined to Lot 7 (27660 Marina Isle Court) and the south half joined to Lot 9 (27680), and Lot 14 divided by recorded description, part joined to Lot 13 (27730) and part to Lot 15 (27750). A part of Lot 6 was also conveyed to Lot 5 by a recorded description (Official Records Book 2951, Page 3448). That is why the street numbers skip 27670 and 27740, and why two of the combined parcels, 27660 and 27680, hold two of the three largest houses on the court.
The county roll dates six homes to 1999, two to 2000, one to 2001, four to 2002 and one to 2004. Year built matters to an insurer and an inspector more than to a buyer’s eye: the roof age, the window and door protection and the permit history are the items to check on every Marina Isle house.
Three pieces of common land shape daily life. Tract A, 6.09 acres the county describes as resource protection, wetlands, preserve and cypress head, touches the back of 12 of the 14 home lots on the county map. Tract E, 0.15 acre at 27700 Marina Isle Court, is coded recreational and carries a pool and a small 160 square foot structure on the roll, built in 2001. Tract D, 0.07 acre at 27770 Marina Isle Court, is coded “boat ramps” with a dock on the roll and adjoins Lot 16 at the south end of the court. What the association permits on each tract is set by its recorded documents, which come with the disclosure package in a sale.

Data updated: November 2026. Marina Isle at Bonita Bay recorded 2 qualified sales in the 60 months since November 2021, both on one house, 27710 Marina Isle Court, at $2,100,000 and $2,400,000, in the Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales, through September 2026. County deed records are through September 2026 (the index’s newest Lee County sale is September 25, 2026), and the Southwest Florida MLS figures are from the pull of September 30, 2026; the next MLS refresh is pending.
Two sources describe the same market from two angles. The Lee County Property Appraiser’s qualified-sale file records the deed consideration for every arm’s-length sale the Property Appraiser accepts as a market sale, and it is the primary recent-sales source on this page. The Southwest Florida MLS records the reported closing price of homes marketed through the MLS, plus asking prices, days on market and listings that have not closed. Where both cover a sale, we publish the deed price and name the MLS figure once with its date; we never average the two.
The 60-month window, since November 3, 2021, holds two qualified Marina Isle deeds, and both are the same home. That is too few for a median: the midpoint of two prices is just their average, and the average of one house’s two sales describes that house, not the neighborhood. We list them instead.
| Recorded | Address | Lot (plat) | Heated sq ft (county) | Bedrooms (county) | Deed price | Per heated sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| November 22, 2021 | 27710 Marina Isle Court | Lot 11 | 4,265 | 4 | $2,100,000 | $492 |
| January 12, 2026 | 27710 Marina Isle Court | Lot 11 | 4,265 | 4 | $2,400,000 | $563 |
The arithmetic is simple. $2,400,000 less $2,100,000 is $300,000, which is 14.3% of the 2021 price. The two deeds are 4 years and 51 days apart, about 4.14 years, so the change works out to about 3.3% a year compounded. Per heated square foot, $2,100,000 divided by 4,265 is $492, and $2,400,000 divided by 4,265 is $563. Lot 11 is a river-coded lot of 0.164 acre on the county map with a private pool on the roll; its legal description names no slip or dock.
A repeat sale of one home is the cleanest price signal a small neighborhood can give, because the land, the plan and the address are the same at both dates. It still has limits. We do not know from the public record what was updated between the two sales, and the two deeds sit on either side of Hurricane Ian and of a period of higher insurance and mortgage costs. The fair reading is that this one Marina Isle house sold for $300,000 more in January 2026 than in November 2021. It is not proof that every Marina Isle home rose 14.3%.
The county file also holds deeds the Property Appraiser did not accept as market sales. In or near the window there is one: a $100 deed on 27610 Marina Isle Court, dated November 2021 in the county file (recorded to the month only, so it may fall either side of the window’s November 3 start), Instrument 2021000417543. A $100 or $0 deed is usually a transfer between related parties, into a trust or between spouses, and it carries no price information; we draw no value from it. No other Marina Isle deed of any kind is recorded in the 60-month window.
The qualified Marina Isle deed recorded immediately before the window is 27750 Marina Isle Court at $2,800,000 on October 13, 2021, three weeks before the 60-month window opens. It is a 4,380 heated square foot house on the combined Lot 15 and part of Lot 14, the largest heated area on the court, on a river-coded lot of 0.216 acre with a private pool. That deed works out to $639 per heated square foot. We show it because it is the only other qualified Marina Isle price of the last six years, not because it belongs in the current window.
Southwest Florida MLS, pulled September 30, 2026: one Marina Isle closing in the prior 12 months, no active listing and no pending sale. The closing was 27710 Marina Isle Court, MLS 2025013814, listed at $2,675,000 and sold for $2,400,000 on January 12, 2026 after 71 days on market. The MLS records the home as 4 bedrooms plus a den and 4 baths with 4,400 living square feet, which makes the price $545 per MLS square foot and 89.7% of list. The same pull returned one active rental listing on the same house, asking $27,500 for the season and $14,000 off season.
| Measure | Southwest Florida MLS, pulled September 30, 2026 |
|---|---|
| Closed sales, 12 months | 1 |
| Sold price | $2,400,000 |
| List price | $2,675,000 |
| Sale to list | 89.7% |
| Days on market | 71 |
| Price per MLS living sq ft | $545 |
| Active listings on the pull date | 0 |
| Pending sales on the pull date | 0 |
| Rental listings on the pull date | 1 (seasonal $27,500, off season $14,000) |
On 27710 Marina Isle Court the two sources agree on the price, $2,400,000, and on the date, January 12, 2026. They differ on size: the county roll records 4,265 heated square feet and the MLS records 4,400 living square feet. The county measures heated and cooled area from its own sketch; an MLS figure is reported by the listing and may include area the county does not count. That is why this page quotes $563 per square foot on the county area and $545 on the MLS area for the same sale. Whenever we quote a price per square foot, we name whose square feet.
The one Marina Isle listing that closed in the MLS year closed 10.3% below its list price. On a court this small, one sale is not a rule, but it is a reminder that a Marina Isle list price set from hope rather than from the record tends to sit, and that the price which actually moves a home comes from the lot, the dock right, the size, the condition and the season the listing goes live.
The county file holds qualified Marina Isle deeds back to the first lot sales of 1998, and the history is useful for context only. We do not present an all-history median as a current price, because a 2010 sale and a 2026 sale describe different markets. What the long record does show is how often homes change hands on this court: 27600 Marina Isle Court recorded qualified sales in 2010, 2012, 2017 and 2019; 27610 in 2010, 2013 and 2019; 27720 in 2004 and 2019; 27640 in 2009 and 2019; and 27650 in 2020. Several Marina Isle homes have not had a qualified sale in more than a decade. Turnover is low, which is why each listing deserves careful pricing.
On the same 60-month window of Lee County qualified deeds on single-family homes, the closest Bonita Bay neighborhoods line up as follows.
| Neighborhood (street) | Homes | Built (county) | Median heated sq ft | Qualified deeds, 60 months | Median deed price | Median per heated sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marina Isle (Marina Isle Court) | 14 | 1999 to 2004 | 3,725 | 2 (one house) | not computed (two sales) | not computed |
| Coconut Isle (Brick Lane) | 16 | 1998 to 2002 | 3,696 | 8 | $2,100,000 | $520 |
| Bermuda Cove (Isle Way) | 23 | 1996 to 1999 | 2,724 | 5 | $1,550,000 | $646 |
| Marina Pointe Drive (Unit 22) | 11 | 1997 to 2005 | 7,375 | 3 | $4,845,000 | $854 |
Coconut Isle is the closest match on every measure we can count: almost the same number of homes, the same build years and nearly the same median size. Bermuda Cove’s homes are about 1,000 square feet smaller at the median, and Marina Pointe Drive’s are about twice the size. Read our Coconut Isle guide and Bermuda Cove guide for their own records.
In the last 12 months we tracked the one qualified Marina Isle deed and the one MLS closing on the court, and for a seller the record says three things. First, there is very little direct competition: on September 30, 2026 no other Marina Isle home was for sale. Second, the most recent comparable on the court is a $2,400,000 sale of a 4,265 square foot home, and the most recent before that a $2,800,000 sale of a 4,380 square foot home in October 2021; your home’s lot, dock right and condition decide where it sits relative to those. Third, buyers in this price range compare across Bonita Bay, so Coconut Isle’s eight deeds are part of your pricing evidence. For a buyer, the same thin record means patience: Marina Isle homes reach the market rarely, and the right house may come up once a year or less.
Marina Isle at Bonita Bay was platted as Bonita Bay Unit 46, recorded at Plat Book 60, Page 67, on land at the southern edge of Bonita Bay beside the marina and the Imperial River. The association was filed with the state in 1996, the first lot deeds were recorded in 1997 and 1998, and the 14 homes were completed from 1999 to 2004.
Bonita Bay is a master-planned community of about 2,400 acres on Estero Bay and the Imperial River, with 3,346 residences and 12 miles of paths in the master association’s January 2026 count (BBCA Media Brochure, January 2026). The original master Declaration was recorded in 1985, and the community grew neighborhood by neighborhood, each platted as a numbered Bonita Bay unit or under its own name, each with its own association beneath the master association.
Marina Isle’s site on the river edge beside the marina was set aside with a large preserve tract and a dock tract rather than divided into more lots. The county file records the developer’s transfers of the lots in December 1997 and the first individual lot sales in 1998, and the county roll records the first houses in 1999. The county file codes most of the 1998 to 2000 lot deeds as vacant land, so most lots were sold as land and built on afterward, which is why the plans, sizes and finishes differ from house to house even though the court was built out in about five years.
The Marina Isle at Bonita Bay Association is a Florida not-for-profit corporation, document N96000004992, filed in 1996, and it holds title to Tracts A through E on the county roll. The state’s corporate search portal blocks automated access, so we cite the record by its document number rather than link it; the current officers, registered agent and annual report history are on the Florida Division of Corporations record under that number. The association’s governing documents, budget and rules are delivered with the disclosure package in a sale.
Marina Isle homes are 14 detached single-family houses built from 1999 to 2004, from 3,313 to 4,380 heated square feet on the Lee County roll (median 3,725), with three bedrooms on six homes and four on eight, three to six baths, and a private pool recorded at twelve of them.

The county counts rows, and so do we: 14 home parcels plus Tract D (27770) and Tract E (27700) make the 16 Marina Isle Court parcels on the roll, and Tracts A, B and C carry no street number. The median of the 14 heated areas is the midpoint of the seventh and eighth values in order, 3,649 and 3,801, which is 3,725.
At 3,313 to 4,380 heated square feet, every Marina Isle home is large by Bonita Bay single-family standards, and the spread is narrow: the largest home is about a third larger than the smallest. The six three-bedroom homes run 3,454 to 4,380 square feet, which tells you that bedroom count alone does not describe a Marina Isle plan; dens, studies, bonus rooms and larger primary suites take the space instead. Because most lots were sold as land and built on individually, plans, rooflines and finishes vary along the court, and a buyer should compare floor plans room by room rather than by bedroom count.
The county roll gives build years, not construction details for every element, and on homes 22 to 27 years old the condition of the roof, windows, doors, air conditioning, pool equipment and plumbing decides much of the price. Ask for the permit history by address from the City of Bonita Springs, the wind mitigation report, the four-point inspection if one exists and the elevation certificate. Updated roofs and impact-rated openings carry real weight with insurers and with buyers in this price range.
The Property Appraiser’s just value is a mass-appraisal estimate for tax purposes, not a sale price, and it lags the market. On the county’s current parcel layer, for example, the just value for 27760 Marina Isle Court, the 0.475-acre seawalled lot at the end of the court, was $2,186,348. Use the county value to understand taxes, never to price a home.
Marina Isle’s water is recorded lot by lot. On the county map one lot, 27760 Marina Isle Court, meets the tidal water line and carries a seawall on the roll; ten lots carry the county’s river-influenced land coding but sit about 10 to 16 meters from mapped tidal water across association land; four entrance lots carry no water coding. Five legal descriptions name a boat slip or numbered dock.
On November 3, 2026 we took every Marina Isle parcel outline from Lee County’s parcel layer and measured the shortest distance to the county’s mapped water bodies on its hydrography layer (Lee County HydroPoly layer; Lee County parcel layer). Lot 16 touches a mapped tidal water body on the Imperial River side of the neighborhood, and so does the dock tract beside it. Lots 9 through 15 (27680 to 27750) lie about 10 to 13 meters from that tidal edge, Lots 5 to 7 about 14 to 16 meters, and the four entrance lots (27600 to 27630) about 37 to 59 meters from the nearest mapped water of any kind. Between the backs of most lots and the water lies Tract A, the association’s 6.09-acre preserve, wetland and cypress tract, which touches 12 of the 14 home lots on the county map.
A lot that does not reach the water’s edge does not carry the riparian position of a lot that does, whatever its view. On the record, then, Marina Isle is a neighborhood of water-oriented lots beside a preserve, a marina and a river, with one seawalled lot, rather than a street of fourteen waterfront homes. Many of the river-coded lots look across the preserve toward the water, and how much water each one sees depends on the vegetation, the house and the season. The survey for a specific lot, the title commitment and the association’s documents settle what the owner owns to and what the association owns behind it; never rely on a listing phrase to answer that question.
Five Marina Isle legal descriptions, as the county roll carries them, name a right on the water:
The other nine home legal descriptions name no slip or dock. The numbering (2, 4, 7, 9, 10, 16) suggests a numbered set of docks or slips, and the county records the association’s 0.07-acre Tract D as boat ramps with a dock, but the public parcel record does not say how many slips exist, where each one lies, what size boat each fits, whether lifts are installed, or how an unnamed slip is assigned. Those answers live in the recorded declaration and any dock or slip instruments, the association’s rules and the title commitment. A buyer should never assume a slip comes with a Marina Isle home, and a seller whose deed carries one should have the recorded instrument ready, because it is a real part of the value.
The county parcel layer records a seawall only at 27760 Marina Isle Court and records no boat lift field we could read for any Marina Isle parcel, so lifts are an inspection and document question. Twelve of the 14 homes carry a private pool on the roll (all except 27640 and 27690), and the association’s recreation tract carries a pool too. A seawall, a dock or a lift is expensive to maintain and repair after a storm; ask who owns and insures each structure, and read any permit history, before you count on it.
The Bonita Bay Marina sits at the head of the court, on the Bonita Boat Harbor parcel at 27598 Marina Pointe Drive, about 17 meters from Lot 1 on the county map. The master association describes it as “a full service facility” that “offers wet slips and dry boats storage, plus on-site fueling and light mechanical services, additional fees apply” (BBCA, realtor and buyer resources), and the marina’s own pages describe its rack storage, launch hours and services (Bonita Bay Marina; about Bonita Bay Marina). Marina space is rented separately, at the marina’s rates, and is not part of any Marina Isle assessment or deed unless a recorded document says so. From the marina, boats run down the Imperial River to Estero Bay and the Gulf; the river is shallow in places, so draft and tide matter for any boat a Marina Isle owner plans to keep there.
A Marina Isle home comes with the neighborhood association’s pool tract and preserve on the court, plus Bonita Bay’s paths, three waterside parks, gated entry, Community Patrol and Private Beach through the master association; the Bonita Bay Club’s golf, racquet sports, fitness and dining come only if you join, and marina slips and storage only if you rent them.
The recreation tract is the one built amenity that belongs to Marina Isle alone. Tract E, 0.15 acre at 27700 Marina Isle Court, is owned by the Marina Isle at Bonita Bay Association, coded “recreational areas” on the county roll, and carries a pool and a 160 square foot structure the county dates to 2001. Twelve of the 14 homes also have a private pool on the roll, so the shared pool is a gathering place rather than the only place to swim. Hours, guest rules and the cost of keeping the tract up are matters for the association’s rules and budget, delivered with the documents in a sale.
Every Marina Isle owner is automatically a member of the Bonita Bay Community Association, which maintains “grounds, roads, streetlights, lake and storm water management, plus all of our recreational parks including the Private Beach,” runs the Community Patrol and staffs the Design Review Department (BBCA, Community Association). Homeowners “gain membership and access to all Association amenities” (BBCA, realtor and buyer resources). None of this requires a Club membership.
Bonita Bay is gated, and the master association’s Community Patrol works inside the gates (BBCA, Community Association). Visitor and vendor access runs through the association’s procedures, delivered with the documents at purchase. Law enforcement is the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.
Bonita Bay has “three onsite parks and a Private Beach located only a short drive from the front gates” (BBCA, the parks of Bonita Bay). Estero Bay Park, in the northwestern corner, has an 800-foot boardwalk through coastal mangroves to a private pier on Estero Bay, a butterfly garden, nature trails and shell mounds the association dates to 5,000 years ago. Riverwalk Park, on the Imperial River at the southern edge, has a boat ramp, kayak launch, bocce and pickleball. Spring Creek Park, on the northern border, has a kayak and canoe launch dock, bocce and an observation deck. The master association’s maps show where they are (BBCA property maps; facilities and amenities map).
Bonita Bay’s Private Beach is a Gulf-front facility owned by the master association on Hickory Boulevard, outside the main gates. It “sustained total destruction during Hurricane Ian,” was rebuilt in concrete with breakaway walls and reopened on November 13 (BBCA, Private Beach). It is an amenity of every Marina Isle owner through the master association, with a resident shuttle; the master association’s facilities map shows the shuttle stops.
The 12 miles of paths (trails map) connect the Marina Pointe area to the parks and the Club campuses, and Riverwalk Park, like Marina Isle, sits on the Imperial River at the community’s southern edge. The master association lists its grounds and environmental awards, including its Audubon certification, in its 2026 awards summary (BBCA Awards and Recognitions 2026), and its lifestyle page describes community programming (BBCA, style of living).
The Bonita Bay Club is an optional, separately owned, member-owned private club inside Bonita Bay, with five championship golf courses on two campuses, a sports center, a Lifestyle Center and dining. Buying a Marina Isle home does not make you a Club member and does not require you to join; membership is a separate decision with its own fees.
“Bonita Bay Club is a separate entity within the community of Bonita Bay,” the Club says (Bonita Bay Club, our community). The master association describes the Club as operating independently, with five courses (three designed by Arthur Hills and two by Tom Fazio), 16 Har-Tru tennis courts and 15 pickleball courts (BBCA, Bonita Bay Club). The two Fazio courses, Cypress and Sabal, are on the Club’s Naples campus (Bonita Bay Club, golf); the Sports Center, Lifestyle Center and dining pages describe the rest. By our straight-line measurement the Club address at 26660 Country Club Drive is about 1.4 miles from the center of Marina Isle Court.
Members bought the Club from the developer in 2010 for $11.5 million, $7.5 million of it real estate, as the Business Observer reported (Business Observer, April 2, 2010). A Club release says members approved a $110 million clubhouse project in May 2026 and that about $250 million has been reinvested since members acquired the Club (Hunter PR release). A Club release dated November 8, 2019, before Hurricane Ian, announced the reopening of the renovated Bay Island course (PR Newswire, Bay Island reopening).
Bonita Bay Club membership is optional and separate from home ownership. The Club does not publish initiation fees or dues on its public website; the Club’s membership office provides the current schedule. A Marina Isle owner can skip the Club entirely and use the neighborhood pool, the master association’s paths, parks and Private Beach, or join for golf or racquet sports. Either way, the Club is a cost only if you choose it, and a membership does not transfer with a Marina Isle deed unless the Club’s own rules say so.
Marina Isle owners pay the Bonita Bay Community Association master assessment and the assessment of the Marina Isle Property Owners Association, plus their own property taxes and insurance. Neither association publishes its assessment on a public page, and Bonita Bay has no CDD, so the real numbers come from the estoppel certificates in the sale.
Bonita Bay Community Association does not publish its master assessment or resale charges on its public website. Every owner pays the master assessment plus any neighborhood or condominium association assessment. Current figures, including any charge due at closing, appear in the estoppel certificate and the §720.401 disclosure summary provided in the sale (Section 720.401, Florida Statutes). The Marina Isle association’s assessment appears in its own estoppel certificate, which Florida law requires an association to issue on request within a set time and fee schedule (Section 720.30851, Florida Statutes).
The Marina Isle at Bonita Bay Association levies whatever its recorded documents authorize. It owns five tracts on the county roll: the 6.09-acre preserve and wetland tract, the street, the 0.07-acre dock and boat ramp tract and the 0.15-acre recreation tract with its pool, so its budget can be expected to cover the street, the pool tract, the preserve’s upkeep and whatever share of the dock structures the documents assign to it. Only the documents and the budget say exactly what it maintains and charges, including whether slip holders pay a separate dock charge and whether any of the landscaping in front of the homes falls to the association. We have not read the declaration, and the association publishes no budget on a public page, so the estoppel certificate and the annual budget, which an owner may inspect under Section 720.303 (Section 720.303, Florida Statutes), answer those questions.
The Bonita Bay Community Association (Florida not-for-profit corporation, document N07041, active, filed January 10, 1985) operates as a homeowners’ association under Chapter 720, Florida Statutes. Its assessment funds the common areas and roads, streetlights, lake and stormwater management, the three parks, the Private Beach, the Community Patrol, the Design Review Department and community programming. The dollar amount is not published.
Club membership is optional and separate from home ownership, and the Club does not publish its initiation fees or dues. It is a cost only if you choose to join.
Bonita Bay has no Community Development District and no special taxing district. Lee County’s published list of special districts names nearby CDDs, including Bay Creek, Bayside Improvement, the two Brooks of Bonita Springs districts, Bonita Landing and Saltleaf, but no district for Bonita Bay. The Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue District on that list is an independent fire district covering the area, not a Bonita Bay district, and it appears on every Bonita Springs tax bill; the Marina Isle parcels carry the tax district “City of Bonita Springs / Bonita Springs Fire” on the county parcel layer.
Property taxes are set by the City of Bonita Springs, Lee County, the School District and the other taxing authorities on the Lee County bill; the parcel’s TRIM notice and tax bill from the Lee County Tax Collector itemize every line for a specific home. A buyer’s bill depends on the buyer’s exemptions and the new assessed value after the sale, not the seller’s bill. Insurance on a Marina Isle house is the owner’s to carry unless the declaration assigns part of it to the association, with flood a separate policy. Every owner pays electricity to Florida Power and Light and water and sewer to Bonita Springs Utilities.
The recorded 2011 master Declaration contains a buyer-paid resale reserve assessment, and a later master association written statement describes a different formula; no recorded amendment reconciling the two has been located. We therefore do not publish either figure as the current charge. The master association’s estoppel certificate states what is due at a Marina Isle closing, and the neighborhood association’s estoppel states anything owed to it (Section 720.30851, Florida Statutes).
Budget the neighborhood and master assessments from their estoppel certificates, a homeowner’s and windstorm quote and a flood quote for the specific address, the property tax on the parcel’s tax bill, utilities, pool service, and any dock or slip costs the documents assign to the owner. On a large house built from 1999 to 2004 inside Evacuation Zone A, the roof, the window and door protection, the air conditioning systems and the wind mitigation report drive the cost of ownership more than anything else you can control, so order the inspections early. The state’s insurance consumer offices explain the policy types (Florida Office of Insurance Regulation; Florida Department of Financial Services, consumer services).
Special assessments at Marina Isle can come from two associations: the Bonita Bay Community Association, whose board approved a $500 per unit beach-rebuild assessment on March 20, 2025, due June 30, 2025, and the Marina Isle association, whose pending or approved assessments appear on its estoppel certificate.
A recap of the master association’s March 20, 2025 special board meeting, posted on March 26, 2025 by the Wild Pines of Bonita Bay association, reports that the board approved a special assessment of $500 per unit for the rebuild of the Private Beach facility, with payment due by June 30, 2025 (Wild Pines of Bonita Bay, recap of the March 20, 2025 meetings). That assessment is past; a Marina Isle buyer’s title agent confirms on the master estoppel that nothing remains owed on the home being purchased.
Whether the Marina Isle association has levied, approved or is considering a special assessment of its own, for the street, the pool tract, the preserve, the dock structures or anything else, is a question for its estoppel certificate, its budget and its board meeting records, which owners can inspect under Section 720.303. We do not state what those records contain. Docks and seawalls on a tidal river are the kind of structure that can need repair after a storm, so a buyer who asks for the budget, the reserve schedule and recent board minutes before the inspection period ends is in the best position to negotiate. Florida law requires the estoppel certificate to list assessments due and any pending special assessment.
Marina Isle is governed by two sets of documents: its own neighborhood documents (the plat of Bonita Bay Unit 46 at Plat Book 60, Page 67, the declaration and any dock or slip instruments recorded for the court, and the association’s articles, bylaws and rules) and the Bonita Bay master Declaration, recorded June 22, 2011 as Lee County Instrument 2011000142834.
The Lee County Clerk’s search portals block automated access, so a buyer or title agent retrieves these by book and page or instrument number at the Clerk.
Every Marina Isle home is a single-family parcel inside the Bonita Bay master association, so the homeowners’ association statute applies. Section 720.401 requires the seller to give a prospective buyer a disclosure summary before the contract is signed, stating that the buyer must join the association, that assessments are owed and may change, and that restrictive covenants govern the property; a contract signed without it is voidable by the buyer before closing (Section 720.401, Florida Statutes). The master Declaration (§12.13) repeats that duty for every Bonita Bay transfer. Section 720.303 governs an association’s official records and an owner’s right to inspect them (Section 720.303, Florida Statutes), and Section 720.3085 makes a buyer jointly liable with the seller for assessments unpaid at the transfer, which is why the estoppel certificate matters (Section 720.3085, Florida Statutes). Florida’s real estate contract forms also carry the state-required flood disclosure for residential sales (Section 689.302, Florida Statutes).
Marina Isle’s homes were built individually, so the court’s look comes from design review rather than one builder’s plan, and the association and the master association both guard it. Anything visible from outside, a roof, new windows or shutters, a pool enclosure, a generator, landscaping toward the preserve, or a dock, lift or seawall repair, goes to the Marina Isle review under its documents and to master association Design Review under §9.2 before it goes to the City for a permit. Work at the water’s edge or in the preserve can also need state permits. Begin the approvals before you order materials; Design Review standards may be stricter than the building code.
Marina Isle at Bonita Bay is not described as a 55-and-over community in any source we reviewed: the master Declaration provisions summarized on this page, the Lee County roll, the association’s state corporate record and the master association’s public pages set no age restriction, so buyers of any age can purchase a Marina Isle home.
If an age restriction ever mattered to a purchase or sale, it would have to appear in the recorded neighborhood documents and meet the federal housing-for-older-persons rules, so confirm it in the documents delivered with the sale rather than relying on marketing. Federal fair housing law protects every buyer regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status or disability (HUD, fair housing).
A Marina Isle owner can lease the home subject to the Marina Isle neighborhood documents, which set any neighborhood leasing terms, and the Bonita Bay master Declaration, which sets no minimum lease term but binds every tenant to the governing documents. The Southwest Florida MLS pull of September 30, 2026 showed one active Marina Isle rental listing and no closed lease in the prior 12 months.
Data updated: November 2026. The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled September 30, 2026, returned one Marina Isle rental row: 27710 Marina Isle Court, the four-bedroom home that sold in January 2026, listed for rent at $27,500 for the season and $14,000 off season, with 4,265 living square feet on the listing. No Marina Isle lease closed through the MLS in the 12 months of the pull. A lease arranged privately never reaches the MLS, so the absence of closed leases is not proof that no Marina Isle home is leased, and one active asking rent is an asking figure, not a result. A buyer modeling rental income should test any assumption against comparable Bonita Bay single-family leases and the neighborhood documents.
The master Declaration’s leasing language provides that any lease “shall provide or be deemed to provide that the tenant and all occupants of the leased Unit are bound by” the governing documents; it sets no minimum lease term, no cap on leases and no lease approval, and where a neighborhood’s documents are more restrictive, the more restrictive controls. The Marina Isle neighborhood documents are where any minimum term, frequency limit or approval process would live. Read them in the disclosure package before you plan a rental.
No public Bonita Bay or Marina Isle document we reviewed authorizes nightly or weekly rentals, and the master association’s rules bind tenants like owners. With one asking rent and no closed lease on the MLS, the realistic case is an owner who uses the home part of the year and may lease it for a season, offsetting carrying costs rather than producing a high year-round yield. Whether a slip right can be used by a tenant is a question for the dock instrument and the association’s rules.
Pet rules at Marina Isle come from the Marina Isle neighborhood documents and the master association’s Rules and Regulations, not from the recorded Bonita Bay master Declaration, which contains no pet provision. We found no published Marina Isle pet rule, so the number, size and type of pets must be read in the neighborhood documents before you buy.
Leash, waste and nuisance rules apply in Bonita Bay’s common areas, parks and paths, and the association’s own tracts will carry its rules. Along the preserve and the river edge, keep dogs away from the water, where alligators live. Under federal fair housing law, properly documented assistance animals are protected regardless of any pet rule (HUD, fair housing). Request the current rules early in your inspection period if you have a pet.
Marina Isle at Bonita Bay measures in FEMA Zone AE with a base flood elevation of 10 feet (NAVD88) at every point we ran on Marina Isle Court, on Lee County FIRM panel 12071C0654G, effective November 17, 2022, inside the City of Bonita Springs (NFIP community 120680) and Lee County Evacuation Zone A. The City’s CRS Class 5 rating gives NFIP policies a 25% discount.
On November 3, 2026 we took the center point of six Marina Isle lots, from the head of the court to the seawalled lot at its end, from Lee County’s parcel layer and ran them against FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer (FEMA NFHL), FEMA’s panel index and Lee County’s evacuation zone layer (Lee County Evacuation Zones). FEMA’s server dropped some requests on the first pass; a second pass the same day returned every zone and all but one panel, and the table shows what each query returned. We used the US Census geocoder (Census geocoder) to locate the offices and places whose distances this page gives.
| Address | Position | Flood zone at the lot center | Base flood elevation | FIRM panel returned | Evacuation zone |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 27600 Marina Isle Court | Head of the court, Lot 1 | AE, coastal floodplain | 10 ft | 12071C0654G | A |
| 27630 Marina Isle Court | Entrance lots, Lot 4 | AE, coastal floodplain | 10 ft | 12071C0654G | A |
| 27660 Marina Isle Court | Middle, Lots 7 and 8 | AE, coastal floodplain | 10 ft | 12071C0654G | A |
| 27710 Marina Isle Court | River-coded, Lot 11 | AE, coastal floodplain | 10 ft | not returned by FEMA on November 3, 2026 | A |
| 27750 Marina Isle Court | River-coded, Lots 14 and 15 | AE, coastal floodplain | 10 ft | 12071C0654G | A |
| 27760 Marina Isle Court | End of the court, seawall, Lot 16 | AE, coastal floodplain | 10 ft | 12071C0654G | A |
Five lots returned Zone AE with a 10-foot base flood elevation, and four returned Lee County panel 12071C0654G. An adjoining Collier County panel, 12021C0179J, also appears on FEMA’s index at these points; the Lee County panel governs a Lee parcel. Zone AE is a Special Flood Hazard Area, and flood insurance is federally required for a federally backed mortgage on a structure in it. FEMA rates a building by where the building sits and how high its lowest floor is, so a Marina Isle home’s rating is settled by its elevation certificate and the lender’s flood determination for the structure. The City’s flood page explains the map colors and the November 17, 2022 effective date (City of Bonita Springs flood protection information), and the NFIP’s consumer site explains the policy itself (FloodSmart).
A base flood elevation is the height FEMA expects the 1% annual chance flood to reach, and what matters for a Marina Isle home is how its lowest floor compares with 10 feet. Marina Isle’s homes were built from 1999 to 2004 under the flood rules of their time, so each one’s finished floor height is set by its own permit and survey, and the number that counts is on the elevation certificate, not on the county card. The City notes that “for each 1 foot above the required Base Flood Elevation your home or business is elevated, you will see a corresponding decrease of nearly 50% in your annual flood insurance premiums,” and that for each foot below, rates double (City flood protection information). Garages, pool equipment and air conditioning condensers sit lower than the living floor and are the first items to check on a home beside tidal water.
For a Marina Isle home in Zone AE, a renovation or repair whose cost reaches 50% of the structure’s market value counts as a substantial improvement under the City’s floodplain rules, and the whole building must then meet current flood requirements, including the current elevation standard. On a large house that can decide whether a major remodel is practical. The City explains how it applies the rule in its toolkit (City substantial improvement toolkit) and its floodplain ordinance (Ordinance 22-05).
Marina Isle’s panel, 12071C0654G, is one of the November 17, 2022 G panels covering Bonita Bay. FEMA’s own flood layer is the live record; check the address again before closing and after any announced revision. WGCU’s January 2026 explainer describes how and why Lee County’s flood maps are revised (WGCU, January 27, 2026).
The City of Bonita Springs holds a Community Rating System Class 5 rating, a 25% discount on NFIP flood policies, and FEMA confirmed on November 21, 2024 that the City keeps it after the post-Ian review (City of Bonita Springs, FEMA CRS; City news release). WGCU covered the outcomes across Lee County in July and November 2024 (WGCU, July 19, 2024; WGCU, November 21, 2024), and WUSF reported the earlier April 2024 notice that put the discounts at risk (WUSF, April 1, 2024). The City’s floodplain management plan progress report describes the program behind the rating (CRS Floodplain Management Plan, FY 2025-26 progress report).
All six Marina Isle points we ran fall in Lee County Evacuation Zone A (storm surge zone 1). Zone A is the first area Lee County orders to evacuate, often for any named storm approaching from the Gulf; the state’s Know Your Zone lookup confirms an address (Florida Division of Emergency Management, Know Your Zone; Lee County evacuation zones dataset). The hurricane plan (shutters or impact glass, boats out of the water or secured, what is stored in the garage, who checks the house after a storm, and how the association secures the dock tract and the pool) belongs in place before summer.
Hurricane Ian made landfall on September 28, 2022 (NOAA National Hurricane Center, Hurricane Ian report). In the City, surge came up the Imperial River and flooded homes along the river and creeks (WUSF, October 1, 2022; NPR, October 1, 2022), and the Gulf beaches took the worst of it (Tampa Bay Times, September 29, 2022). Inside Bonita Bay, the documented damage includes the total destruction of the master association’s Private Beach facility, since rebuilt (BBCA, Private Beach), and, per the Club’s October 13, 2022 update, a flooded cart barn and golf course bridges left “structurally undrivable” on the Bay Island and Marsh courses (Bonita Bay Club, Hurricane Ian update). The City keeps its Ian recovery pages and grant program online (City of Bonita Springs, Hurricane Ian; Ian progress report; CDBG-DR grant management). We found no primary source documenting Ian damage to specific Marina Isle homes; the seller’s disclosures, the City permit history by address and the insurance claim history are where a buyer confirms it, with the garage, the pool equipment, the air conditioning, the dock and the seawall the first places to ask about. The January 2026 sale of 27710 Marina Isle Court is the only qualified Marina Isle deed recorded since the storm.
Helene and Milton in 2024 are documented at the City level (City of Bonita Springs, Milton; NHC Helene report; NHC Milton report); no Bonita Bay-specific damage from either was found in a primary source.
Insuring a Marina Isle home means insuring a large single-family house beside tidal water inside Evacuation Zone A: a homeowner’s policy with windstorm, priced from the wind mitigation report and the roof, plus a flood policy priced from the elevation certificate, which a federally backed lender will require because every Marina Isle point we ran measures in Zone AE.
On the records we read, each Marina Isle home is a single-family house on its own lot, so the owner normally insures the structure and contents, plus the pool, screen enclosure and any dock, lift or seawall the owner holds. The dock tract, the recreation tract and the preserve belong to the association, and the declaration decides who insures the dock structures and the slips. Read the declaration’s insurance and maintenance sections in the disclosure package, and have your agent write the policy to match.
Florida insurers must offer discounts for documented wind-resistant features, and the standard wind mitigation inspection records them: roof covering and its permit date, roof deck attachment, roof-to-wall connection, roof shape and opening protection. On a house built from 1999 to 2004, a documented roof replacement and impact glass or approved shutters on every opening are usually the difference between an ordinary and an expensive windstorm quote. Citizens Property Insurance is the state’s insurer of last resort if the private market will not write a policy, and the state’s My Safe Florida Home program offers inspections and, for eligible homesteaded homes, hardening grants.
Flood is a separate policy, through the NFIP or a private carrier. Every Marina Isle point we ran measures in Zone AE, so a federally backed lender requires it, and an owner without a mortgage has every reason to carry it beside a tidal river inside Evacuation Zone A. The premium follows the elevation certificate, the foundation type and the replacement cost; the City’s CRS Class 5 discount applies to NFIP policies. Get the flood quote during the inspection period, from the elevation certificate rather than an estimate, and ask whether the current policy can be transferred to you.
Insurers commonly ask for a four-point inspection (roof, electrical, plumbing, air conditioning) on homes of Marina Isle’s age. Pool enclosures, docks, lifts and seawalls are separate items, often excluded from a standard homeowner’s policy, so ask how each is covered. Keep the permit for any roof, window, seawall or dock work with the house documents.
Lee County public schools serve Marina Isle through proximity-based choice: a student ranks schools within the proximity zone for the address rather than being placed at one school by address. Under the district’s most recent published plan, nearby options include Spring Creek Elementary, Bonita Springs Middle and Bonita Springs High. Confirm an address’s zones with the School District of Lee County before relying on them.
Under the district’s most recent published plan (2025-2026), the elementary proximity zone that holds the Bonita Springs schools is Zone Q (Bonita Springs, Pinewoods, San Carlos, Spring Creek and Three Oaks elementary schools), the middle proximity zone is Zone GG (Bonita Springs Middle and Three Oaks Middle), and high school uses the South residential choice zone with sub-zones (2025-2026 Student Enrollment Plan). The School Board approved the 2026-2027 plan on December 1, 2025 (School District of Lee County, school zones); use the district’s school zone locator for a specific Marina Isle Court address. School sites: Bonita Springs High and Bonita Springs Middle, listed in the district’s middle school directory. WGCU reported the district’s 2024-25 school grades (WGCU, July 9, 2025).
Marina Isle is not age-restricted, so school access works the same way here as at any Bonita Springs address: the proximity zones above are the starting point, and transportation follows the district’s zone rules.
Building permits for Marina Isle homes are issued by the City of Bonita Springs Community Development Department, not by Lee County, because Bonita Bay lies inside the incorporated City of Bonita Springs (incorporated in 1999). Exterior work also needs the Marina Isle association’s review and master association Design Review approval under the master Declaration before the City permit is pulled.
Up to three approvals can apply to a Marina Isle project: (1) the Marina Isle association’s architectural review under its own documents, for anything that changes the exterior or touches the association’s tracts; (2) master association Design Review under §9.2 of the master Declaration; and (3) a City of Bonita Springs building permit for roofs, siding, windows, doors, elevators, generators, electrical, plumbing, mechanical and similar work (City of Bonita Springs, apply for a building permit; City Community Development). The City’s online services guide covers its Citizen Access permit portal (how to use online services). Fire-related plan review is part of City permitting (Fire Prevention plan review application). Work that touches the pond, the preserve or the stormwater system also involves the state and water management district rules (Florida DEP). A buyer can search a home’s permit history by its address through the City, which is the best way to see when the roof, air conditioning, windows, siding or any lower-level finish was last permitted.
Marina Isle sits at the southern edge of Bonita Bay: the Bonita Bay Marina at the head of the court, the river-coded estates of Marina Pointe Drive (Bonita Bay Unit 22) beside the approach, the association’s preserve behind most lots and tidal water connected to the Imperial River beyond it. Zoning and land use are set by the City of Bonita Springs, and the county roll carries every Marina Isle lot as planned development (PUD).
The City’s Zoning District Map Book shows zoning districts by map sheet within city limits, and the City’s maps page links its current maps (City area maps). Zoning ordinances and resolutions are indexed on the City site (zoning ordinances; zoning resolutions), and the City’s stormwater program covers the drainage system Bonita Bay’s lakes feed (City stormwater and drainage). Because Bonita Bay is built out, every Marina Isle lot is improved and the land beside it is neighborhood, conservation or club land, the practical questions for a Marina Isle buyer are changes at the marina, individual rebuilds on the court and on Marina Pointe Drive, and work along the river, not new subdivisions next door.
Daily life at Marina Isle runs on City of Bonita Springs services: Florida Power and Light for electricity, Bonita Springs Utilities for water and sewer, Waste Management curbside collection in Bonita Springs, and the Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue District for fire and emergency response, with the master association handling gates and patrol, the Marina Isle association handling the street, the pool tract, the preserve and the dock tract, and each owner handling the house.
Whether a boat, trailer, kayak rack or golf cart may be kept outside the garage is a question for the master association’s rules on traffic, parking and vehicle types and the Marina Isle neighborhood documents. A boat on a recorded slip is governed by the dock instrument and the association’s rules; a boat without one goes to the marina’s wet slips or rack storage at its own rates. Vehicle registration and driver licensing for a new Florida resident run through the state (Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles).
Bonita Bay is a gated community. Guest and vendor access procedures, resident credentials and contractor rules are set by the master association and delivered with the association documents. Mail delivery on Marina Isle Court follows the arrangement for the neighborhood; confirm it for the specific address when you tour.
Marina Isle sits at the southern edge of Bonita Bay, in ZIP 34134 in the City of Bonita Springs, between Fort Myers to the north and Naples to the south, with US 41 at the Bonita Bay gates and I-75 to the east. That position gives Marina Isle owners both metro areas’ shopping, dining, healthcare and the region’s airport without living in either city, and a short trip inside the gates to the Club, the master association office and the marina next door.
Drive times depend heavily on season and time of day along US 41, so we do not publish minute figures; test the drives that matter to you during a winter visit. The National Weather Service office for the region posts storm and marine forecasts (NWS Miami; National Hurricane Center).
Marina Isle is one of Bonita Bay’s smallest single-family neighborhoods, 14 homes of about 3,300 to 4,400 heated square feet on one court beside the marina, priced on its one recent repeat sale at $2,100,000 and $2,400,000: in the same band as Coconut Isle, above Bermuda Cove’s smaller homes, and well below the Marina Pointe Drive estates next door.
Bonita Bay’s master association describes residences across condominiums, high-rises, coach homes and single-family neighborhoods. On the 60-month county yardstick in the market section, the single-family streets nearest Marina Isle in size and price line up as Bermuda Cove on Isle Way ($1,550,000 median, 5 deeds), Coconut Isle on Brick Lane ($2,100,000 median, 8 deeds) and the Marina Pointe Drive homes of Bonita Bay Unit 22 ($4,845,000 median, 3 deeds). Marina Isle’s two deeds, $2,100,000 and $2,400,000, sit beside Coconut Isle’s median.
Coconut Isle is the closest match on the county record and the comparison below. Bermuda Cove, 23 homes on Isle Way built 1996 to 1999 with a 2,724 square foot median, is the smaller-home alternative at a lower price point. Buyers looking at Bonita Bay single-family homes in a similar range also compare Spring Ridge and Deerwood, each with its own guide. The Marina Pointe Drive homes beside Marina Isle’s approach are a different product: 11 river-coded estates of 4,962 to 8,792 heated square feet.
Marina Isle and Coconut Isle are small single-family neighborhoods inside Bonita Bay with almost the same median home size (3,725 and 3,696 heated square feet), the same build era (1999 to 2004 and 1998 to 2002) and deed prices in the same band; the choice comes down to the setting (a court beside the marina and the river with recorded dock rights on five lots, or Brick Lane) and to which house is for sale.
We chose Coconut Isle as the comparison on numbers, not on name. On the same Lee County yardstick (single-family homes, qualified deeds since November 3, 2021), Coconut Isle has 16 homes to Marina Isle’s 14, a 3,696 square foot median heated area to Marina Isle’s 3,725, and build years of 1998 to 2002 to Marina Isle’s 1999 to 2004. Bermuda Cove, the other “Isle” name in Bonita Bay, has 23 homes with a 2,724 square foot median, about 1,000 square feet smaller, so its prices answer a different question.

Choose Marina Isle if boating is part of the plan and you can buy a home whose deed carries a recorded slip or dock right, or if being steps from the marina, the river and Riverwalk Park matters more than anything else, and you accept a very thin resale record. Choose Coconut Isle if you want more sales to price from and a wider range of sizes, including smaller homes, inside the same price band. In both, the house in front of you, its condition, its lot and its documents, matters more than the neighborhood median. Our Coconut Isle guide carries its full record.
Marina Isle’s strengths are its setting beside the Bonita Bay Marina and the Imperial River, a preserve behind most lots, large homes built from 1999 to 2004 and recorded dock rights on five lots; its limits are a thin resale record, Zone AE flood exposure inside Evacuation Zone A, and water access that varies lot by lot rather than coming with every home.

If you’re searching for a Marina Isle listing agent, or thinking, ‘I need someone to sell my Marina Isle home…’, start with the record: two qualified Marina Isle deeds in 60 months, both on 27710 Marina Isle Court ($2,100,000 in November 2021 and $2,400,000 in January 2026), one MLS closing in the 12 months to September 30, 2026 at 89.7% of its list price after 71 days, and no other Marina Isle home for sale on that date. McGreevy and Comisar price, prepare and market Marina Isle homes from that record, not from a Bonita Bay average.
Our credentials as your Marina Isle listing agent:
In the 12 months to September 30, 2026 we tracked one qualified Marina Isle deed in the Lee County record: 27710 Marina Isle Court at $2,400,000 (January 12, 2026). The same house recorded $2,100,000 on November 22, 2021, the only other qualified Marina Isle deed in 60 months, and 27750 Marina Isle Court recorded $2,800,000 on October 13, 2021, just before the window. The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled September 30, 2026, shows the January closing at 89.7% of its $2,675,000 list price after 71 days, and no Marina Isle home listed or pending on the pull date.
Four things. First, the lot and the water: a Marina Isle listing has to state exactly what the lot is (river-coded or not, preserve behind it or seawall, its acreage) and whether the deed carries a recorded slip or dock right, with the recorded instrument ready, because buyers drawn by the name will ask and a vague answer costs money. Second, the paperwork: Section 720.401 requires your disclosure summary before the contract is signed, Florida’s residential flood disclosure applies to every sale, and every buyer with a mortgage will need flood insurance, so having the declaration, the estoppel requests, the elevation certificate, the wind mitigation report and the permit history ready at listing protects your timeline. Third, Bonita Bay’s open house and sign rules: open houses need 72 hours’ notice to the master association with the listing agreement, run Monday to Saturday 9 to 5 and Sunday 1 to 4, use the master association’s sign standard, and allow no SOLD signs (BBCA Open House Guidelines). Fourth, time on market: the two homes listed on September 30, 2026 had been on the market 180 and 292 days, and both recent closings sold below their first list price, so the first price decides how your sale goes.

Price a Marina Isle home from the house, the lot and the documents, because the court has no median to lean on. The most recent anchors are $2,400,000 for 4,265 square feet in January 2026 and $2,800,000 for 4,380 square feet in October 2021, and Coconut Isle’s eight deeds since November 2021, at a $2,100,000 median, show what similar Bonita Bay homes bring. We adjust for lot size and position, a recorded slip or dock right, the roof and window age, the pool and the renovation, then test the price against everything listed in Bonita Bay’s single-family range on the day you list.
The one Marina Isle closing on the Southwest Florida MLS pull of September 30, 2026 took 71 days from listing to contract and closed at 89.7% of its first list price. One sale is not a pattern; on a 14-home court the time to sell depends mostly on the first price, the condition and the season the listing starts.
A Marina Isle buyer usually asks first for the two estoppel certificates (neighborhood and master), the §720.401 disclosure summary, the declaration and any recorded slip or dock instrument, the association’s rules, the survey, the elevation certificate, the wind mitigation and four-point reports, the roof, window and air-conditioning permits, any seawall or dock permits, and the flood and windstorm policy declarations.
The master Declaration requires no sale approval that we found; it requires you to deliver the §720.401 disclosure summary, and the estoppel certificates are needed for closing. Whether the Marina Isle documents add any approval or notice step, or any step for transferring a slip right, is set in those documents, which we read for every listing before your home goes on the market.
A Bonita Bay Club membership is separate from your Marina Isle deed. The Club does not publish its initiation fees, dues or transfer rules on its public website, and whether a membership can pass to a buyer is the Club’s decision under its own rules. Your Marina Isle sale itself never requires a Club membership on either side.
Marina Isle’s long-run value rests on Bonita Bay’s fixed supply, its master-association amenities, its setting beside the marina and the river, and its position between Naples and Fort Myers; the recorded deeds show Marina Isle prices moving with the wider market, from vacant lot sales of $450,000 to $650,000 in 1998 to a $2,800,000 home sale in October 2021 and a $2,400,000 sale in January 2026.
A master association that maintains roads, lakes, parks, the Private Beach and patrol, funded by every owner, protects the setting of every neighborhood inside the gates. Bonita Bay’s recorded master Declaration and Design Review standards (§9.2) keep a court built from 1999 to 2004 looking cared for in 2026, and Marina Isle’s own association keeps its street, its pool tract, its preserve and its dock tract.
Bonita Bay is built out, and Marina Isle has 14 homes, all improved, on a plat whose remaining land is preserve, street and association tracts. New supply in the region comes from new communities outside the gates, not from more lots beside the Bonita Bay Marina. That does not guarantee appreciation, and the county record is too thin to measure a trend on this court, but it means every buyer who wants this setting inside Bonita Bay competes for one of a fixed 14, and for one of only five with a recorded slip or dock right in the legal description.
For a buyer who wants a large detached home inside Bonita Bay’s gates within walking distance of the marina, Marina Isle is one of very few choices, priced between Coconut Isle’s range and the Marina Pointe Drive estates. The trade is a flood zone at every point we ran, homes 22 to 27 years old, and a resale market that may produce one sale a year or less.
Bonita Springs is the incorporated city that governs Marina Isle’s permits, zoning, flood program and city taxes; its CRS Class 5 rating lowers NFIP premiums, and its location puts Marina Isle Court between Naples and Fort Myers with Gulf beaches, I-75 and US 41 close by. Residents voted to incorporate the City in 1999, and the City marked its 25th anniversary in 2024 (City of Bonita Springs, history; 25th anniversary; City Charter). For the wider market, see our Bonita Springs guide and our Bonita Bay guide. Documentary stamp tax on Florida deeds is set by the state (Florida Department of Revenue, documentary stamp tax), and in Lee County the seller customarily pays the owner’s title policy, though the contract controls.
Marina Isle owners and buyers work directly with Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar, the McGreevy and Comisar team at Domain Realty, whose office at 24031 S Tamiami Trl #101 in Bonita Springs is about 3.8 miles from Marina Isle by straight line. For this Marina Isle guide we read the legal description of every Marina Isle parcel, the county’s water coding and map layers, the association’s state record, the master Declaration and every Marina Isle deed in the county file before writing a word.
McGreevy and Comisar are the Domain Realty team behind this Marina Isle guide: Jesse McGreevy, Sales Associate, and Marc Comisar, Broker Associate, with over 45 years of combined direct real estate experience. You can read how the team was built on our about the McGreevy and Comisar team page. For this update we traced every qualified and unqualified Marina Isle deed in the county file, we read all 16 Marina Isle parcel records for lot sizes, pools, seawalls, docks and water coding, we measured each lot’s distance to the mapped tidal water and to the association’s preserve and dock tracts, and we ran FEMA’s flood layer at six lots on the court ourselves rather than repeating a map summary.

Marina Isle is a court where specifics decide the price: the lot and what lies behind it, whether the legal description carries a recorded slip or dock right, the heated size and the plan, the age of the roof and the windows, the pool and how the house has been updated since it was built. With two qualified deeds in five years, a Marina Isle price cannot lean on last month’s sale, and buyers moving from out of state often decide from photos, video and documents before they visit, so the listing has to explain the preserve, the dock rights, the marina next door, the Zone AE rating and elevation certificate, the wind mitigation report and the two association layers in plain language. That is the work we do on every Bonita Bay listing.

The best Marina Isle buyers we work with ask the most questions before the offer and the fewest after closing. Order both estoppel certificates early, read the declaration, any slip or dock instrument and the association’s rules, get windstorm and flood quotes from the elevation certificate and wind mitigation report during your inspection period, and read the neighborhood documents before you plan an exterior change, a boat or a rental. There is no obligation and no cost for an initial conversation.
Marina Isle buyers most often ask about the water, the docks, the size of the homes, the two associations, the flood zone and what homes sell for. The answers below come from the county roll and legal descriptions, the county map, FEMA’s flood layer, the state corporate record and the Southwest Florida MLS pull of September 30, 2026.
Marina Isle at Bonita Bay is a 14-home single-family neighborhood on Marina Isle Court, at the southern edge of Bonita Bay in Bonita Springs, platted as Bonita Bay Unit 46 at Plat Book 60, Page 67. The homes were built from 1999 to 2004, and the head of the court sits beside the Bonita Bay Marina on the Imperial River side of the community.
Fourteen. The plat created Lots 1 to 16, but Lot 8 was divided between Lots 7 and 9 and Lot 14 between Lots 13 and 15, so 16 platted lots now form 14 home parcels, numbered 27600 to 27760 Marina Isle Court.
Not all of them, and not in the same way. On the county map only 27760 Marina Isle Court meets the tidal water line and carries a seawall on the roll. Ten lots carry the county’s river-influenced coding but sit about 10 to 16 meters from mapped tidal water across association land, and the four entrance lots carry no water coding. The survey and title commitment settle each lot.
Only where the legal description says so. Lot 5 carries “Boat Slip 2,” Lot 7 dock #7, Lot 9 dock #4, Lot 10 docks #9 and #10 and Lot 16 dock #16. The other nine legal descriptions name no slip or dock, so read the recorded instrument for the specific home before you plan around a boat.
The Bonita Bay Marina, at the head of the court, rents wet slips and rack storage at its own rates, separate from any assessment. The master association’s Riverwalk Park on the Imperial River has a boat ramp and kayak launch for residents.
The county roll records 3,313 to 4,380 heated square feet, with a median of 3,725. Six homes have three bedrooms and eight have four, with three to six baths. Listing figures can differ from the county’s heated area, so always ask whose square footage you are reading.
From 1999 to 2004 on the county roll: six in 1999, two in 2000, one in 2001, four in 2002 and one in 2004.
On the county map the home lots run from 0.108 acre (27690) to 0.475 acre (27760, the seawalled lot at the end of the court); the other twelve run from 0.147 to 0.216 acre.
Twelve of the 14 homes carry a private pool on the county roll; 27640 and 27690 do not. The association’s recreation tract at 27700 Marina Isle Court also has a pool.
Tract A, a 6.09-acre association tract the county describes as resource protection, wetlands, preserve and cypress head, touches the back of 12 of the 14 home lots on the county map.
Marina Isle is inside Bonita Bay, a gated community with staffed entrances and the master association’s Community Patrol. We found no primary record of a separate Marina Isle gate; confirm the court’s own access arrangements when you tour.
The association’s pool tract and preserve, plus Bonita Bay’s paths, three parks and Private Beach through the master association. The Bonita Bay Club’s golf, racquet sports, fitness and dining come only if you join, and marina space only if you rent it.
Owners pay the Marina Isle at Bonita Bay Association assessment and the Bonita Bay Community Association master assessment. Neither publishes its assessment on a public page, so the current figures come from the two estoppel certificates in the sale.
No. Bonita Bay has no Community Development District and no special taxing district; Lee County’s list of special districts names none for Bonita Bay.
No source we reviewed describes Marina Isle as age-restricted, so buyers of any age can purchase a Marina Isle home.
Leasing is governed by the Marina Isle documents and the master Declaration, which binds every tenant to the governing documents. The September 30, 2026 MLS pull showed one Marina Isle home listed for seasonal rent and no closed lease in the prior 12 months.
Yes. Every Marina Isle point we ran on November 3, 2026 that returned a zone measured Zone AE with a base flood elevation of 10 feet, on Lee County panel 12071C0654G, effective November 17, 2022.
A federally backed mortgage requires it in Zone AE, and an owner beside tidal water in Evacuation Zone A has every reason to carry it regardless. Price it from the home’s elevation certificate.
Lee County Evacuation Zone A, the first zone ordered to leave when a storm threatens. Every Marina Isle point we ran falls in it.
We found no primary source documenting Ian damage to specific Marina Isle homes. The seller’s disclosures, the City permit history and the insurance claim history are where a buyer confirms it, with the garage, pool equipment, docks and seawall the first places to ask about.
There is no reliable typical price: the county record holds two qualified sales in 60 months, both on 27710 Marina Isle Court, at $2,100,000 in November 2021 and $2,400,000 in January 2026. The October 2021 sale of 27750 Marina Isle Court recorded $2,800,000.
None on the Southwest Florida MLS pull of September 30, 2026, and none pending. Our Domain Realty Group site keeps the current listings.
No. The Bonita Bay Club is a separate, member-owned club; membership is optional and is never required to buy a Marina Isle home.
The §720.401 disclosure summary before you sign, then the two estoppel certificates, the declaration and rules, and any recorded slip or dock instrument for the home. Ask for the survey, elevation certificate, wind mitigation report and permit history during your inspection period.
Lee County uses proximity-based school choice. Under the 2025-2026 plan the Bonita Springs elementary schools are in Zone Q, the middle schools in Zone GG, and high school uses the South choice zone; confirm an address with the district’s locator.
They are close on the county yardstick: 14 homes and 16, medians of 3,725 and 3,696 heated square feet, built 1999 to 2004 and 1998 to 2002. Coconut Isle has eight qualified deeds in 60 months at a $2,100,000 median; Marina Isle has two, on one house.
Marina Isle sellers ask what their home is worth with so few sales, how to present the water and dock rights, which documents to gather and how the flood zone affects a buyer. Each answer below draws only on this page’s records: the county roll and deeds, the legal descriptions, the county map, FEMA’s layer and the MLS pull of September 30, 2026.
Your Marina Isle home’s value is built from its own lot, size, condition and documents, because the court has no median to lean on. The most recent anchors are 27710 Marina Isle Court at $2,400,000 for 4,265 heated square feet in January 2026 and 27750 at $2,800,000 for 4,380 square feet in October 2021. Coconut Isle’s eight deeds since November 2021, at a $2,100,000 median, add evidence from a closely matched neighborhood. A recorded slip right, the lot position and recent updates move a value from those anchors.
The best Marina Isle listing agent is one who prices from the record and can explain the lot, the dock rights and the documents to a buyer. McGreevy and Comisar have been the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012 and Top 1% nationally since 2008, and this guide reflects our method: every Marina Isle deed, all 16 parcel records, the county water map and FEMA’s flood layer, read before a price is set.
One. In the 12 months to September 30, 2026 the Lee County record holds one qualified Marina Isle deed, 27710 Marina Isle Court at $2,400,000 on January 12, 2026, and the Southwest Florida MLS, pulled September 30, 2026, shows the same single closing. On that pull date no Marina Isle home was listed for sale and none was pending, so a new Marina Isle listing faces no direct competition on the court itself.
No typical Marina Isle price can be stated honestly from two sales on one house. The 60-month county record holds $2,100,000 (November 2021) and $2,400,000 (January 2026) for 27710 Marina Isle Court, and the qualified deed just before the window was $2,800,000 for 27750 Marina Isle Court in October 2021. Those three prices, from $2,100,000 to $2,800,000, are the recent Marina Isle evidence, and each describes one specific house.
The one Marina Isle closing on the Southwest Florida MLS pull of September 30, 2026 spent 71 days on market and closed at 89.7% of its first list price. One sale is not a pattern. On a 14-home court with large homes in the $2,000,000 range, the time to sell depends mostly on how close the first price is to the evidence, the condition of the house and whether the listing starts in season.
The only Marina Isle MLS closing in the year to September 30, 2026 sold for $2,400,000 against a $2,675,000 list price, 89.7% of list. That gap is a warning about starting high rather than a forecast for your home. A list price set from the deed record, the lot and the condition, and tested against Coconut Isle and other Bonita Bay single-family listings, usually closes nearer its asking price.
A recorded slip or dock right is a real feature, and on Marina Isle only five legal descriptions carry one: Lots 5, 7, 9, 10 and 16. The county sale file does not separate its value, and with so few sales we cannot measure the premium from deeds alone. What we can do is present the recorded instrument, the slip’s size and condition, and the marina’s own rental rates as the alternative cost a buyer avoids.
Describe your Marina Isle lot exactly as the record supports it. Only 27760 meets the tidal water line and has a seawall on the roll; ten lots are river-coded but sit about 10 to 16 meters from mapped tidal water across association land, and four entrance lots carry no water coding. Words such as “preserve view,” “river view” or “steps to the marina” can be accurate where “waterfront” is not, and accuracy protects the sale.
Only if your legal description or a recorded instrument gives you one. On the county roll five Marina Isle legal descriptions name a slip or numbered dock, and the county records a dock on Lot 5 and on the association’s Tract D. A “right to use” a numbered dock is not the same as owning a private dock behind the house, so the listing should use the instrument’s own wording and attach it.
27760 Marina Isle Court, Lot 16, is the largest Marina Isle lot at 0.475 acre on the county map, the only one that meets the tidal water line, the only one with a seawall on the roll, and it carries a right to use dock #16. It adjoins the association’s dock and boat ramp tract. Any Marina Isle comparison has to treat it as its own case rather than average it with the court.
Section 720.401 requires the disclosure summary before the contract is signed, stating that the buyer must join the associations and that assessments and covenants apply; the master Declaration repeats that duty. Florida’s residential flood disclosure applies too. In practice a Marina Isle buyer also expects the estoppel certificates, the declaration and rules, any recorded slip or dock instrument, the survey and the elevation certificate.
A Marina Isle contract signed without the §720.401 disclosure summary is voidable by the buyer before closing, which hands an unhappy buyer an exit at the worst moment. Deliver the summary with the first contract draft, keep proof of delivery, and the issue disappears. It costs nothing and protects a sale in a price range where a lost buyer can mean months before the next one.
An estoppel certificate is each association’s written statement of what is owed on your Marina Isle home, including regular and special assessments and any charge due at closing. A Marina Isle sale needs two, from the Marina Isle at Bonita Bay Association and the Bonita Bay Community Association. The title agent usually requests them, and Section 720.30851 sets the delivery time and fee limits.
The recorded 2011 master Declaration contains a buyer-paid resale reserve assessment, and a later master association statement describes a different formula, so we do not publish either figure as current. The master association’s estoppel certificate states what is due at a Marina Isle closing, and the Marina Isle association’s estoppel states anything owed to it. Read both before you finalize your net sheet.
The master Declaration requires no sale approval that we found; it requires the §720.401 disclosure summary and the estoppel certificates are needed for closing. Whether the Marina Isle documents add any notice step, or any step for passing a recorded slip right to the buyer, is set in those documents. We read them for every Marina Isle listing before the home goes on the market.
A dock right written into your legal description, as on Lots 5, 7, 9, 10 and 16, describes part of the property conveyed, so it normally passes with the deed. How the association assigns, maintains and charges for the docks is set in its documents. Have the title agent confirm the right in the title commitment and the deed, so the buyer’s lender and insurer see it the same way.
Yes. Bonita Bay’s open house guidelines require 72 hours’ notice to the master association with the listing agreement, set open house hours of Monday to Saturday 9 to 5 and Sunday 1 to 4, require the master association’s sign standard, and allow no SOLD signs. Marina Isle sits inside those rules, and the neighborhood documents may add their own, so we plan every showing around both.
The master association approved a $500 per unit beach-rebuild special assessment on March 20, 2025, due June 30, 2025, according to the Wild Pines of Bonita Bay association’s recap of that meeting. It is past, so the question for your Marina Isle sale is simply whether anything remains owed, which the master estoppel certificate answers. Disclose any assessment you know of and let the estoppel confirm it.
Present it plainly. Every Marina Isle point we ran that returned a zone measured Zone AE with a 10-foot base flood elevation on panel 12071C0654G, inside Evacuation Zone A. A buyer with a mortgage will need flood insurance, so your elevation certificate, your current flood premium and whether the policy can be assumed are among the most useful documents you can offer at listing.
Your elevation certificate is the single most important flood document in a Marina Isle sale. FEMA rates a building by its lowest floor against the 10-foot base flood elevation, and the City notes that each foot above that line cuts premiums by nearly half while each foot below roughly doubles them. If you do not have one, order it before listing so buyers can price insurance from facts.
On a Marina Isle home built from 1999 to 2004, the repairs that pay back are the ones insurers and inspectors grade: an aging roof, missing opening protection, older air conditioning systems, pool equipment, and any dock or seawall item tied to your property. Cosmetic updates matter less than documented system replacements. We walk every Marina Isle home before listing and rank repairs by what buyers will ask about.
Under the City’s floodplain rules, work on a Marina Isle home in Zone AE whose cost reaches 50% of the structure’s market value triggers full compliance with current flood requirements, including elevation. A buyer who plans a major remodel will ask about it, so your elevation certificate and the City permit history help that buyer judge what is possible before making an offer.
Stage your Marina Isle home to show the rooms that set it apart: the main living area facing the preserve or the river side, the pool and lanai, and any den or study that answers the four-bedroom question. Professional photography and video matter more here than in most neighborhoods, because many buyers in this price range first see the home from out of state.
Listing a Marina Isle home before the winter season, ready by late fall or early January, puts it in front of the most seasonal buyers, and the one recent Marina Isle MLS closing came in January 2026. A well-prepared home can sell in any month, and with no Marina Isle competition on the September 30, 2026 pull, timing matters less than price and condition.
A Marina Isle seller typically pays the brokerage commission agreed in the listing, Florida documentary stamp tax on the deed, the owner’s title policy where local custom places it on the seller, the estoppel fees under Section 720.30851, any charge the estoppels show, and prorated taxes and assessments. We prepare a written net sheet from your actual figures before you list.
Yes, a leased Marina Isle home can be sold, but the lease, the tenant’s rights to showings and the closing date have to fit together, and the buyer takes the home subject to the lease unless it ends first. The one Marina Isle rental listing on the September 30, 2026 MLS pull asked $27,500 for the season, which shows seasonal leases are part of this court’s market.
A Bonita Bay Club membership is separate from your Marina Isle deed. The Club does not publish its initiation fees, dues or transfer rules, and whether a membership can pass to a buyer is the Club’s decision under its own rules. Your Marina Isle sale never requires a Club membership on either side, and we confirm the Club’s current terms before your listing goes live.
Financed buyers buy Marina Isle homes like any single-family home: the lender requires flood insurance in Zone AE, a windstorm policy and an appraisal. With few Marina Isle sales, the appraiser will reach to Coconut Isle and other Bonita Bay homes, so we supply the deed record, the lot details and any slip instrument to support your price.
On the September 30, 2026 MLS pull no other Marina Isle home was listed, so your Marina Isle listing competes with Bonita Bay single-family homes in the same range, Coconut Isle first, then other neighborhoods with homes of 3,300 to 4,400 square feet. Buyers compare setting, size, condition, pool and water access across all of them.
Coconut Isle is the closest match on the county yardstick: 16 homes built 1998 to 2002, a 3,696 square foot median against Marina Isle’s 3,725, and eight qualified deeds in 60 months at a $2,100,000 median and $520 per heated square foot. Compare plan, condition and lot, then add what Marina Isle alone offers, the marina next door and, on five lots, a recorded slip or dock right.
Gather your deed and title policy, the survey, any recorded slip or dock instrument, the elevation certificate, the wind mitigation and four-point reports, roof, window, air conditioning, pool and dock or seawall permits, insurance declarations, the association’s documents and your recent assessment statements. A Marina Isle buyer will ask for most of them in the first week.
On a Marina Isle home 22 to 27 years old, an inspection will find items; the question is whether they are disclosed and priced. Roof, opening protection, air conditioning, pool equipment and any dock or seawall issue are the likeliest negotiation points. Repairs documented before listing, or priced into the list price, keep the inspection period from becoming a second negotiation.
The Marina Isle record is too thin to show a trend. The one repeat sale, 27710 Marina Isle Court, rose from $2,100,000 in November 2021 to $2,400,000 in January 2026, about 3.3% a year compounded, while 27750 recorded $2,800,000 in October 2021. Those are individual houses, and we read the wider Bonita Bay single-family market alongside them before pricing.
At a Marina Isle closing, property taxes are prorated to the closing date from the current tax bill, and both associations’ assessments are settled from their estoppel certificates, with any prepaid amount credited back and any unpaid amount paid from the seller’s proceeds. Section 720.3085 makes a buyer jointly liable for unpaid assessments, which is why title agents insist on the estoppels.
Twelve of the 14 Marina Isle homes have a private pool on the roll, so a pool is expected rather than a premium, and its condition matters. The preserve behind 12 lots gives privacy and a natural view, which buyers value. Because the court has so few sales, we show these features with photographs and the county map rather than claiming a measured dollar premium.
