Source: Lee County Property Appraiser sale and parcel files, DOR-qualified improved sales over $1,000, index built October 27, 2026. No sale in the latest 12 months was builder-direct: all 87 were resales. The overall median moved up 0.8 percent, from $625,000 to $630,000, and the number of sales fell from 95 to 87. The two product medians both rose further (single family from $1,387,500 to $1,517,095, condominium from $475,000 to $545,000); the overall median moved less because the mix shifted, so compare like with like.
The Gulf Harbour price trend since 2015
The county record covers a finished community. Only one builder-direct sale appears in any year since 2015 (in 2019), so the yearly medians below track resales. Prices stepped up sharply in 2022 and peaked in 2023.

Price per square foot in Gulf Harbour
County dollars per square foot on this page use heated (living) area from the Lee County roll, not total area under roof. On that basis the 12-month median was $324 per square foot for all homes, $433 for single-family homes and $294 for condominiums. The calendar-year peak was $394 in 2023, and the 2026 year to date sits at $329. Within the condominium market the spread is wide: Grande Cay and Tamarind Cay sold at a median of about $187 per square foot in the last 12 months, against about $497 to $509 in Shores II, III and IV.
What the county record cannot show
The county file records the price and the date a deed was recorded. It does not record the asking price, how long the home was listed, whether a boat slip was sold with the home, or how many homes are for sale today. Those are MLS fields, and they are being added in our next data refresh; the listing links above show current inventory now.

Is the Gulf Harbour Yacht and Country Club membership mandatory?
No. Gulf Harbour Yacht and Country Club membership is optional for owners: the club's membership and real estate pages describe equity membership offered to property owners, not required for ownership. WCI Communities' SEC filings record that the Gulf Harbour club was converted to an equity club in 1999. Initiation fees and dues are not published.
What membership costs, and where the numbers are
The club does not post its initiation fee or annual dues on a public page. Its Membership Guide is released through a request form on the club website, and that guide is the document that holds the current categories, initiation and dues. We print no membership figure on this page because none is published by the club itself. Ask for the guide early if club membership matters to you.
The 18-hole course and the club's facilities
WCI's 2002 prospectus described Gulf Harbour with an 18-hole golf course, a 38,000 square foot clubhouse, eight tennis courts and an 8,000 square foot spa and fitness center. Lee County records a golf course parcel at 14500 Vista River Drive, the clubhouse address, and a tennis courts and building project (LDO2024-00109) finaled May 22, 2024. Current course rating and slope are on the club's scorecard.
The $19 million clubhouse rebuild
The club announced a $19 million clubhouse project on February 21, 2025, designed by Peacock + Lewis and built by Curran & Young. The club's blog gives the construction start as June 2025 and reopening as November 2026; other club pages say fall or winter 2026, so treat the date as the club's plan. Lee County issued the renovation development order, LDO2024-00553, on June 19, 2025.
The Gulf Harbour Yacht Club is a separate club
The Gulf Harbour Yacht Club is a social club for boat owners and a different organization from the Gulf Harbour Yacht and Country Club. Its 2026/27 application lists dues of $450 per couple or $300 single for those joining November to April, and $225 per couple or $125 single for May to October. It is open to boat owners in Charlotte, Collier or Lee County who own property in Gulf Harbour, including a boat slip, subject to board review.
The Gulf Harbour Marina and boating to the Gulf
The Gulf Harbour Marina is a condominium of 186 slip parcels on the Caloosahatchee River, declaration recorded at OR Book 3521, Page 766. Slips are owned condominium units, separate from homes. Boats reach the Gulf by way of the Caloosahatchee and the Sanibel Causeway spans, whose tallest fixed span clears 70 feet.
Slips are condominium units
The Lee County parcel layer and the roster built for this page count 186 slip parcels in the Gulf Harbour Marina condominium, recorded separately from the 1,608 homes. A slip is bought and sold like any condominium unit, with its own deed and its own association, the Gulf Harbour Marina Condominium Association. The marina also offers transient and seasonal dockage to visiting boats on its website. We publish no slip prices.
How many slips, and how large a boat?
Published figures differ. WCI's 2002 prospectus described 192 protected floating slips for vessels "up to 90 feet"; the county now counts 186 slip parcels; and the marina's own website states vessels to 97 feet. A regional magazine has printed a higher slip count that the county record does not support. Confirm the length, beam and depth rating for a specific slip in its deed and the marina rules before you buy a boat to fit it.
The route from Gulf Harbour to the Gulf
From the marina, a boat runs down the Caloosahatchee River to San Carlos Bay and the Gulf, passing under the Sanibel Causeway. NOAA's Coast Pilot 5, chapter 4 (edition dated October 25, 2026) lists no lock and no drawbridge on that run. The Cape Coral Bridge (55 feet at center) and the US 41 bridge are upriver of Gulf Harbour, not on the Gulf route.
| Structure on the Gulf route | Type | Vertical clearance |
|---|---|---|
| Sanibel Causeway Bridge A | Fixed | 70 ft |
| Sanibel Causeway Bridge B | Fixed, 48 ft span | 9 ft |
| Sanibel Causeway Bridge C | Fixed | 26 ft |
Source: NOAA Coast Pilot 5, chapter 4, edition dated October 25, 2026. A vessel whose air draft is above 70 feet cannot clear the Bridge A span, so the short route is closed to tall-masted sailboats.
Depth, tide and charts
NOAA's Coast Pilot gives an 8 foot controlling midchannel depth for the dredged Okeechobee Waterway channel from its last survey date, 1995; current depth is shown on NOAA chart 11427 and the Army Corps surveys, not on any page we can quote. The tide range is 2.4 feet at Punta Rassa and 1.2 feet at Fort Myers. Dockside depth at the marina is not published.
Is Gulf Harbour gated?
Yes. Gulf Harbour is a gated community: the club's community page says so, and WCI's 2002 SEC prospectus described it as an "approximately 548-acre gated retirement and second home community." Gate staffing hours, the number of gates and the guest and delivery procedure are not published; they sit in the master association's rules on its resident portal.
Leasing and rental rules in Gulf Harbour
Gulf Harbour leasing rules are set village by village, not by one community-wide rule. Each of the 23 condominium declarations sets its own minimum lease term, number of leases a year, approval process and fee, and the single-family villages follow their own declarations. No single Gulf Harbour minimum lease term is published.
Where the leasing terms are written
The leasing terms for a specific home are in that building's recorded declaration of condominium (or its amended and restated declaration) and the association's rules. Ask for both before you plan to rent a Gulf Harbour home. Short-term rental rules are not stated for the master association or any village on the public pages read for this page, so we make no claim either way.
What does it cost to own in Gulf Harbour?
Gulf Harbour ownership costs stack in layers: property tax at the taxing district 068 rate, the master association assessment, a village condominium or homeowner assessment, and optional club and slip costs. There is no CDD layer. We print only figures with a dated public source; association budgets are provided at contract, not online. Data updated: October 2026.
| Cost layer | Amount | Period and source |
|---|---|---|
| Property tax, taxing district 068 | 13.3623 mills (2026); 13.4125 mills (2025) | Lee County Property Appraiser 2026 millage book and TRIM notices |

Property taxes in taxing district 068
Every Gulf Harbour home parcel is in Lee County taxing district 068, Iona McGregor Fire. The 2026 adopted total is 13.3623 mills, or $1,336.23 per $100,000 of taxable value, down from 13.4125 in 2025 (the 2026 TRIM notices had proposed 13.3738). The state school levy fell from 3.0710 to 3.0230, and the mosquito and hyacinth levies were set below their proposed rates.

The Iona McGregor Fire budget hearing date on the notice was September 16, 2026.
No CDD in Gulf Harbour
Gulf Harbour has no Community Development District. The county's TRIM notices for Gulf Harbour parcels in two different villages list no CDD, no district debt line and no non-ad valorem district assessment. Community Development Districts are created under Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes and collected on the tax roll under section 197.3632; none appears here. Solid waste charges can appear on the final tax bill rather than the TRIM notice, so check the tax collector's bill.
Assessed values on the 2026 roll
The 2026 Lee County roll puts the median single-family just value in Gulf Harbour at $1,253,860 and the median taxable value at $872,816, on a median lot of 0.331 acres. For condominiums the median just value is $396,948 and the median taxable value $332,917. Taxable value reflects homestead exemptions and the assessment cap, and it resets to market value after a sale.
A worked yearly property tax example
At the 2026 rate of 13.3623 mills, the roll's median condominium taxable value of $332,917 gives a yearly property tax of $4,448.54, and the median single-family taxable value of $872,816 gives $11,662.83. At the 2025 rate of 13.4125 the same values give $4,465.25 and $11,706.64. A buyer's own bill starts from the purchase price after the sale reset, so use the exact home's tax estimate.
| Line | Median condominium | Median single family |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 taxable value on the roll | $332,917 | $872,816 |
| Property tax at 13.3623 mills (2026) | $4,448.54 | $11,662.83 |
| Property tax at 13.4125 mills (2025) | $4,465.25 | $11,706.64 |
| CDD assessment | $0 (no CDD) | $0 (no CDD) |
Association, club and slip costs are added on top of these lines and are not published. One Shores at Gulf Harbour IV residence with a 2025 market value of $1,136,233 paid about $9,781.90 in 2025 taxes on its TRIM notice.
Condominium safety laws in Gulf Harbour buildings
Gulf Harbour condominium buildings of three or more stories fall under two Florida laws: the milestone inspection law, section 553.899 of the Florida Statutes, and the structural integrity reserve study rule in section 718.112(2)(g). The Harbour Landings buildings reach the 30-year milestone clock first, from 2026 to 2028 on their county year-built dates.
The 30-year milestone inspection
Section 553.899 requires a milestone inspection of condominium and cooperative buildings three habitable stories or taller by December 31 of the year the building reaches 30 years from its certificate of occupancy, then every 10 years. A local building agency may set 25 years instead; Lee County's choice was not found in the documents read for this page.
| Village | Stories | County year built | 30-year milestone deadline (December 31 of) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harbour Landings | 3 | 1996 to 1998 | 2026, 2027, 2028 |
| Harbour Links | 3 | 1997 to 2000 | 2027 to 2030 |
| Bellavista | 4 | 1998 to 2000 | 2028 to 2030 |
| Palmas Del Sol | 7 to 10 | 1999 to 2003 | 2029 to 2033 |
| Shores at Gulf Harbour | up to 12 | 2000 to 2006 | 2030 to 2036 |
Source: county year-built dates on the Lee County roll; section 553.899, Florida Statutes. Actual certificate of occupancy dates may differ from the county year built.
The structural integrity reserve study
Section 718.112(2)(g) requires a structural integrity reserve study for condominium buildings three stories or taller. For associations in existence on July 1, 2022, the 2025 amendments set a December 31, 2025 filing date. Each association's filing status is held in the Department of Business and Professional Regulation's reporting database and the association's own records; we make no claim about any building's status.
Documents to request for a Gulf Harbour condominium
Ask for the milestone inspection report (where due), the latest structural integrity reserve study, the current budget, the estoppel certificate, the recorded declaration and rules, and the building's flood elevation certificate. Florida Statutes 718.111 gives owners the right to inspect association records, and section 689.302 requires a flood disclosure from the seller in a residential sale.
What amenities are inside Gulf Harbour?
Gulf Harbour's amenities center on the equity club and the marina. WCI's 2002 prospectus listed an 18-hole golf course, a 38,000 square foot clubhouse, eight tennis courts and an 8,000 square foot spa and fitness center. The clubhouse is closed for a $19 million rebuild stated to reopen in November 2026.
Club facilities
The club's facilities are reserved for members and their guests under the club's own rules. Golf and sports membership categories are described on the club's website; what each includes is set out in the Membership Guide. Recent county records show new tennis courts and a building finaled in 2024 and the clubhouse renovation permit issued in 2025.
Is Gulf Harbour in a flood zone?
Mostly yes. On an overlay of 1,605 Gulf Harbour home parcels on FEMA's flood map, 1,287 (80.2 percent) sit in Zone AE with a base flood elevation of 8.0 feet NAVD88 and 318 (19.8 percent) in shaded Zone X. No home parcel is in Zone VE, which exists only at the river and marina edge.
Flood zone by neighborhood
| Neighborhood | Home parcels | Zone AE (BFE 8.0 ft) | Shaded Zone X |

A separate 60-parcel random sample of the roll found 49 of 60 (82 percent) in Zone AE at 8.0 feet and 11 in shaded X, consistent with the full overlay.
FEMA map panels for Gulf Harbour
Gulf Harbour sits on four FEMA flood insurance rate map panels, 12071C0412G, 12071C0414G, 12071C0416G and 12071C0418G, all effective November 17, 2022. Lee County says FEMA issued a Letter of Final Determination in September 2026 for a countywide revision effective March 2, 2027; the six panels it lists (0576, 0577, 0578, 0579, 0581 and 0583) do not include a Gulf Harbour panel. Search any address at the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
Letters of map amendment inside Gulf Harbour
FEMA's map shows two letters of map amendment inside the community: LOMA 24-04-4495A for the Harbour Links Condominium subdivision at 14364 Harbour Links Court (case ended May 22, 2024) and LOMA 23-04-3760A for the Mariposa Condominium subdivision at 11049 Harbour Yacht Court (case ended April 18, 2023, outcome listed as multiple). A building covered by such a letter can be removed from the special flood hazard area even where the panel shows AE, so ask for the building's own letter and elevation certificate.

Gulf Harbour evacuation zone
All 1,605 Gulf Harbour home parcels are in Lee County Hurricane Evacuation Zone A, surge zone 1, on both the county's evacuation zone layer and its newer published layer. Lee County's Zone A sheet says evacuation is often required for any named storm from the Gulf. An evacuation zone measures storm surge exposure and is separate from the FEMA flood zone. Check the county's lookup for the address each season.
What Hurricane Ian did near Gulf Harbour
Hurricane Ian made landfall near Cayo Costa on September 28, 2022 as a Category 4 storm. The National Hurricane Center put inundation at 5 to 8 feet above ground up the Caloosahatchee at Fort Myers, and NOAA's Fort Myers gauge peaked at 7.26 feet above mean higher high water. USGS surveyed high water marks 0.7 to 1.6 miles from Gulf Harbour at 6.90 to 7.25 feet NAVD88, just under the 8.0 foot base flood elevation. USGS surveyed no mark inside the gates.
Milton and Helene in 2024
Two 2024 storms brought lower water to the river. NOAA's Fort Myers gauge peaked at 5.12 feet above mean higher high water in Hurricane Helene (September 2024) and 5.27 feet in Hurricane Milton (October 2024), against 7.26 feet in Ian. The Hurricane Center's analysis was 3 to 5 feet above ground for Helene at Fort Myers and 4 to 6 feet for Milton on the Caloosahatchee. No in-community depth is documented for either storm.
The flood insurance discount in unincorporated Lee County
Gulf Harbour is in unincorporated Lee County's flood insurance community, NFIP 125124, which Lee County says earns a 25 percent flood insurance discount and has taken part in the Community Rating System since 1991. FEMA's rating table places a 25 percent discount at Class 5. The discount applies to policies in the special flood hazard area, which covers most Gulf Harbour homes.
Insurance notes for Gulf Harbour buyers
Citizens Property Insurance requires flood coverage with a Citizens wind policy on a staged schedule that reaches all structures on January 1, 2027; condominium unit-owner policies are exempt. Florida's section 689.302 requires the seller to disclose known flooding and flood insurance claims in a residential sale. A flood premium depends on the exact building and its elevation, so get an address-level quote before you write an offer.
Which schools serve Gulf Harbour?
Gulf Harbour addresses are served by school choice, not one assigned school. For 2026-27, every Gulf Harbour home parcel falls in Lee County elementary Proximity Zone O, middle Proximity Zone MM and the South high school zone, sub-zone 1. Heights Elementary, rated A by the state for 2026, is 1.7 road miles from the club.
School choice zones for Gulf Harbour addresses
The School District of Lee County's 2026-27 Student Enrollment Plan, approved December 1, 2025, lists the schools in each zone. Zone O elementary choices are Heights, Rayma C. Page, Tanglewood and Villas; Zone MM middle choices are Cypress Lake Middle and Lexington Middle; South sub-zone 1 high school choices are Cypress Lake, Dunbar, Fort Myers and South Fort Myers. District bus service is for students outside a two-mile radius. Confirm any address with the district.

Is Gulf Harbour in the City of Fort Myers?
No. Gulf Harbour is in unincorporated Lee County. All 1,608 home parcels sit in taxing district 068 with Lee County zoning, and 1,556 of them are recorded in the Iona McGregor Fire District. Fort Myers is the postal city for every home, but the county, not a city, sets the zoning, issues building permits and runs the flood insurance community.
Nearby Gulf Harbour neighbors on the county roll
Several McGregor-area condominium and single-family neighborhoods around Gulf Harbour sound similar but are separate communities on the county roll, including Peppertree Pointe, Waters Edge, Harbor Place, Sea Breeze and Wildwood, and a Gulf Harbor Condo spelled without the U. For other Fort Myers communities on DRG, see Whiskey Creek homes for sale and The Forest homes for sale.

How to read the comparison table
Each count uses the community's plat and condominium names on the county roll, so it can differ from association totals. Each community's mix of condominiums and single-family homes moves its overall median: Gulf Harbour's 1,253 condominiums include towers of up to 12 stories as well as 1985 garden buildings, so compare the single-family and condominium rows as well as the overall median.
The history of Gulf Harbour
Gulf Harbour was master planned in the early 1980s under Lee County zoning resolution Z-82-112, and its oldest homes, the Rivers Edge condominiums, date from 1985. WCI Communities took over the club and amenity build in the late 1990s, made the club an equity club in 1999 and began selling marina slips in 2001.
The 1980s plan and the first villages
The original planned development approval is Lee County resolution Z-82-112, filed in the county's document search. The county roll shows 214 Gulf Harbour homes built from 1985 to 1989, then only 8 from 1990 to 1994. The Rivers Edge condominiums are the only neighborhood with 1980s year-built dates in the county's group table.
WCI Communities and the 1999 to 2006 build
The county roll shows 732 homes built from 1995 to 1999 and 581 from 2000 to 2004, when most villages were finished. WCI's SEC filings record the 1999 equity club conversion, Gulf Harbour among WCI's newly introduced subdivisions in 2000, and a marina slip sales program introduced in 2001. WCI's 2002 prospectus priced its Gulf Harbour homes from $193,000 to $2.5 million.

Lennar completed its acquisition of WCI Communities on February 10, 2017. The county roll shows 54 homes built from 2005 to 2009 and only 19 since 2010. The club's $19 million clubhouse rebuild, begun in June 2025, is the largest current project inside the gates.

Thinking of selling a Gulf Harbour home?
Gulf Harbour buyers compare buildings closely, and a listing priced against its own building's recorded sales sells faster than one priced against the community median. Start with a Domain Realty Group home valuation, or see McGreevy and Comisar's guide to Fort Myers and Gulf Harbour home values.
Frequently Asked Questions about Gulf Harbour homes for sale
These are the questions Gulf Harbour buyers ask most, answered from the Lee County record, the county's tax notices, the club and marina documents, NOAA's Coast Pilot, FEMA's flood map and the Florida Department of Education. Each answer carries the same dates as the sections above, so every figure can be checked against its source below.
How many homes are in Gulf Harbour?
The Lee County roll counts 1,608 Gulf Harbour homes in ZIP 33908: 355 single-family houses and 1,253 condominiums, across 28 neighborhood groups. A separate count of the state condominium registry and the county parcel layer found about 1,612. Either way, the finished community is about 1,600 homes, smaller than its original approval allowed.
What is the median home price in Gulf Harbour?
$630,000 on the Lee County record, across 87 qualified sales in the 12 months through September 25, 2026. The 24-month median was $627,500 on 182 sales, and the 12 months before that recorded 95 sales at a $625,000 median, so the 12-month median moved up 0.8 percent while both product medians rose.
How many homes sold in Gulf Harbour last year?
Lee County recorded 87 qualified Gulf Harbour sales in the 12 months through September 25, 2026, down from 95 in the 12 months before that. In calendar 2025 the county recorded 89 sales at a $617,500 median, and 75 sales were recorded in 2026 through mid-September at a $685,000 median.
What are condo prices in Gulf Harbour?
Gulf Harbour condominiums sold at a $545,000 median across 69 recorded sales in the latest 12 months, from $195,000 in Rivers Edge I to $1,739,000 in Shores at Gulf Harbour IV. Twenty-four-month neighborhood medians run from $244,000 in Rivers Edge I to $1,700,000 in Shores IV, so the building decides most of the price.
What are single-family home prices in Gulf Harbour?
Single-family homes sold at a $1,517,095 median across 18 recorded sales in the latest 12 months, from $567,000 in Crescent Cove to $8,950,000 on Longwater Chase Court. The roll's median single-family home has 3,337 heated square feet, and the master plat streets recorded a $1,650,000 median over 24 months.
What is the most expensive home sold in Gulf Harbour?
The highest qualified sale in the county file is $8,950,000 for 11380 Longwater Chase Court, recorded March 19, 2026: a 4,959 square foot single-family home built in 2023. The next highest sales of the last 12 months were two at $2,000,000, on Compass Point Drive and Headwater Bay Lane.
What is the least expensive way into Gulf Harbour?
The Rivers Edge condominiums. Rivers Edge I recorded four of the five lowest Gulf Harbour sales of the last 12 months, from $195,000 to $261,000, for homes of about 1,203 heated square feet built in 1985 and 1986. Grande Cay and Tamarind Cay are the next price tier, with 12-month sales from $257,500.
Is the Gulf Harbour Yacht and Country Club membership mandatory?
No. Membership in the Gulf Harbour Yacht and Country Club is optional for owners, according to the club's membership and real estate pages, and the club has been an equity club since 1999, as WCI's SEC filings record. Buying a Gulf Harbour home does not by itself make the buyer a club member.
How much does a membership at Gulf Harbour Yacht and Country Club cost?
The club does not publish its initiation fee or annual dues on a public page. The current figures are in the club's Membership Guide, released through a request form on the club website. We print no membership figure on this page because the club itself publishes none; ask the club for the guide in writing.
What are the Gulf Harbour HOA fees?
The Gulf Harbour Master Association and the 23 condominium associations do not publish their assessments on public pages; budgets sit behind owner logins. The binding figures are on the estoppel certificate the association must issue at a sale under Florida Statutes 718.116 or 720.30851, and on the annual budget. Ask for both early.
Does Gulf Harbour have a CDD?
No. Lee County's 2026 TRIM notices for Gulf Harbour parcels in two different villages list no Community Development District, no district debt line and no non-ad valorem district assessment. The taxing lines are county, school, fire, water management, mosquito, navigation and library levies, all in taxing district 068.
What is the property tax rate in Gulf Harbour?
Gulf Harbour homes are in Lee County taxing district 068, Iona McGregor Fire, at 13.3623 mills for 2026, or $1,336.23 per $100,000 of taxable value (13.4125 in 2025), per the Lee County 2026 millage book.
Is Gulf Harbour in the City of Fort Myers?
No. Gulf Harbour is in unincorporated Lee County: all 1,608 home parcels are in taxing district 068 with Lee County zoning, and the TRIM notices carry no city millage. Fort Myers is the mailing city, but Lee County issues permits, sets zoning and runs the flood insurance community, NFIP 125124.
What ZIP code is Gulf Harbour?
Every Gulf Harbour home is in ZIP 33908, Fort Myers, Florida, on the Lee County roll. The club is at 14500 Vista River Drive, Fort Myers FL 33908. ZIP 33908 also covers neighboring McGregor and Iona communities with similar names, such as a Gulf Harbor condominium spelled without the U, so search by building name.
Is Gulf Harbour gated?
Yes. The club describes Gulf Harbour as a gated community, and WCI's 2002 SEC prospectus called it an "approximately 548-acre gated retirement and second home community." Gate staffing hours, the number of gates and guest procedures are not published; they are in the master association's rules on its resident portal.
Does Gulf Harbour have a marina?
Yes. The Gulf Harbour Marina is a condominium of 186 slip parcels on the Caloosahatchee River, with floating docks in a protected basin, a declaration recorded at OR Book 3521, Page 766 and rules recorded as Instrument 2017000046423. Slips are owned units sold separately from homes; the marina also offers transient dockage.
Can you buy a boat slip at Gulf Harbour?
Yes. Each of the 186 slips is a condominium unit with its own deed, and slips are bought and sold apart from homes, governed by the Gulf Harbour Marina Condominium Association and its recorded rules. WCI began a marina slip sales program in 2001. We publish no slip prices; ask for the recorded rules and the slip's dimensions.
Does Gulf Harbour have direct access to the Gulf?
Boats reach the Gulf by way of the Caloosahatchee and the Sanibel Causeway spans, with no lock or drawbridge on the route, according to NOAA's Coast Pilot 5. The causeway's spans are fixed: Bridge A clears 70 feet, Bridge B 9 feet and Bridge C 26 feet. A vessel taller than 70 feet cannot use the short route.
How big a boat can the Gulf Harbour Marina hold?
Published figures differ. The marina's website states vessels to 97 feet; WCI's 2002 prospectus said "up to 90 feet" for 192 slips, and the county counts 186 slip parcels today. Confirm the length, beam and depth rating of a specific slip in its deed and the marina rules before you buy.
What is the Gulf Harbour Yacht Club?
The Gulf Harbour Yacht Club is a social club for boat owners, separate from the equity Gulf Harbour Yacht and Country Club. Its 2026/27 application lists dues of $450 per couple or $300 single for members joining November to April, and it is open to boat owners who own Gulf Harbour property or a slip, subject to board review.
When does the new Gulf Harbour clubhouse open?
The club's February 21, 2025 announcement of the $19 million clubhouse rebuild gives a June 2025 construction start and reopening in November 2026; other club pages say fall or winter 2026. Lee County issued the renovation development order, LDO2024-00553, on June 19, 2025. Treat the reopening date as the club's plan.
Is Gulf Harbour in a flood zone?
Mostly. Of 1,605 home parcels overlaid on FEMA's flood map, 1,287 (80.2 percent) are in Zone AE with an 8.0 foot base flood elevation and 318 (19.8 percent) in shaded Zone X; none is in Zone VE. Palmas Del Sol, Coronado and Admirals Isle are entirely shaded X. Check the exact address.
What hurricane evacuation zone is Gulf Harbour in?
All 1,605 Gulf Harbour home parcels are in Lee County Evacuation Zone A, surge zone 1, the zone the county says is often ordered to evacuate for any named storm from the Gulf. The evacuation zone is separate from the FEMA flood zone, so confirm an address on the county's map each season.
Did Hurricane Ian flood Gulf Harbour?
USGS surveyed no high water mark inside the gates. Its marks 0.7 to 1.6 miles away, on the Caloosahatchee shore, measured 6.90 to 7.25 feet NAVD88, just under Gulf Harbour's 8.0 foot base flood elevation, and NOAA's Fort Myers gauge peaked at 7.26 feet above mean higher high water. Ask a seller for the home's flood history.
Do Gulf Harbour condos need milestone inspections?
Buildings of three or more stories do. Section 553.899 of the Florida Statutes requires a milestone inspection by December 31 of the year a building turns 30, then every 10 years. On county year-built dates, Harbour Landings reaches that clock from 2026 to 2028, then Harbour Links, Bellavista, Palmas Del Sol and the Shores towers.
Can I rent out a home in Gulf Harbour?
It depends on the village. Leasing terms, approval steps and any minimum lease length are written in each condominium's recorded declaration and rules, and the single-family villages follow their own declarations; no single Gulf Harbour minimum lease is published. Ask for the declaration and rules for the exact building before you plan to rent.
Is Gulf Harbour a 55+ community?
No recorded age restriction for Gulf Harbour was found in the public record reviewed for this page. WCI's 2002 prospectus called it a "retirement and second home community," a marketing description rather than a rule. Any village-level rule would be in that village's recorded declaration, under Florida Statutes 760.29.
What schools serve Gulf Harbour?
Lee County assigns by choice zone. Gulf Harbour addresses are in elementary Zone O (Heights, Rayma C. Page, Tanglewood, Villas), middle Zone MM (Cypress Lake, Lexington) and high school South sub-zone 1 (Cypress Lake, Dunbar, Fort Myers, South Fort Myers) for 2026-27. Heights Elementary earned a 2026 state grade of A.
What is the nearest hospital to Gulf Harbour?
Lee Health's HealthPark Medical Center, 3.5 road miles and about 9 minutes from the club at 14500 Vista River Drive in modeled free-flow traffic. Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida is on the same campus, HCA Florida West Fort Myers Emergency is 4.0 miles, and Gulf Coast Medical Center is 6.9 miles away.
How far is Gulf Harbour from the beach?
Fort Myers Beach (Times Square) is 6.3 road miles and about 13 minutes from the club in modeled free-flow traffic, and the Sanibel Causeway toll plaza is 6.5 miles and about 13 minutes. Season traffic on McGregor Boulevard and Summerlin Road adds time. By boat, the marina reaches San Carlos Bay by the river.
How far is Gulf Harbour from the airport?
Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) is 15.0 road miles and about 27 minutes from the club at 14500 Vista River Drive in modeled free-flow traffic, and 11.4 miles straight-line from the center of Gulf Harbour. Downtown Fort Myers is 9.9 road miles, about 20 minutes away.
Who developed Gulf Harbour?
Gulf Harbour was master planned in the early 1980s under Lee County resolution Z-82-112, and the first homes, the Rivers Edge condominiums, date from 1985. WCI Communities took over the club and amenity build in the late 1990s, converted the club to equity in 1999 and sold marina slips from 2001. Lennar bought WCI in 2017.
Are there new homes for sale in Gulf Harbour?
No builder sells new homes in Gulf Harbour now. Only 19 homes on the county roll were built since 2010, the newest in 2024, and none of the 87 sales in the latest 12 months was builder-direct. Every Gulf Harbour home for sale today is a resale.
