Bradenton, FL
The earlier and more modest of Heritage Harbour's golf neighborhoods, 123 houses on the county roll built in 2004 and 2005, and the one where golf comes without a bundled-membership premium. Its own 12,000 square foot clubhouse anchors a junior Olympic pool, a fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball, sand volleyball and a dog park, with an 18-hole course, a 70-acre fishing lake and soccer and baseball fields alongside. Fifty-two percent of the houses sit on the golf course, the highest share in Bradenton.

Michael’s Take
County-assessed CDD $941-$1,389 (Heritage Harbour South CDD), not the $701-$1,110 that MLS data suggests. Distinct association from River Strand.

Of the 123 matched residential units here claim a homestead exemption, which reads as most homes here are claimed as a permanent residence.
Newest completion recorded 2006. The roll records no completions here in the last three years. Most of what trades is resale, though an absence of recent completions is not by itself proof a community is closed to new building.
Arm’s-length sales recorded with Manatee County, read October 2026. Quitclaims, foreclosures, family transfers and pre-construction sales are excluded. Homestead requires the property to be a permanent residence, so the share carrying one is reported here as a share of matched residential units rather than as a count of who lives here. Homestead is a tax filing, not an occupancy count. A rented home can house full-time residents and will never carry the exemption, and an owner who lives here but never filed does not appear in it either. Read it as what share of matched residential units claim the exemption, not as who lives here.
At an estimated $2,531 a year in combined HOA and CDD, Stoneybrook at Heritage Harbour sits about 42% above the Bradenton median of $1,783, ranking 14 of the 23 Bradenton communities whose fees this site tracks.

Governing Documents
3 documents from the community development or stewardship district that covers Stoneybrook at Heritage Harbour and linked to the page each one lives on. Nothing is copied here, so you read whatever they publish today. No association documents have been located for Stoneybrook at Heritage Harbour yet, which is a gap in what has been found rather than evidence there are none.
A community development or stewardship district is a unit of local government, not an association. Its assessment is billed with your property taxes rather than by the association, and its rules are public records of a different kind. Shown separately for that reason.
Heritage Harbour South Community Development District
Matched to Stoneybrook at Heritage Harbour because: The district’s own official website names it and states that it serves the Heritage Harbour South homeowners association in Manatee County. Its adopted budget settles WHICH communities: the assessment schedule prices Stone Harbour condominiums, twin villas and club homes, and two Lighthouse Cove products by name. Those are Stoneybrook and Lighthouse Cove. No River Strand product appears anywhere in it.
Established on 31 August 2001 by Manatee County Ordinance 01-45. Its adopted assessment schedule is unusually specific and worth reading before an offer: it prices thirteen products separately, from a 55-foot single-family lot down to a Lighthouse Cove condominium, and the spread between them is wide. Note that the site at heritageharborcdd.org, spelled without the u, is a DIFFERENT district and not this one.
Who to contact
No individual supervisors or managers are listed here. The board is named in the district’s own agendas and minutes, which its website publishes.
Board members and officers are not listed here. They change often, and their names are on the association’s own records and in the state’s corporate filings, which is where they should be read from rather than from a page that cannot keep up.

Stoneybrook at Heritage Harbour offers single-family, villas and condominiums. Attached homes carry an association that maintains the building itself, so the fee covers more than it would on a single-family home and the association's reserves matter to you directly. What a specific home includes, and what the association maintains, is set out in that community's documents and is worth reading before an offer rather than after.
Golf is central to Stoneybrook at Heritage Harbour, but living in a golf community and holding a golf membership are two different things and the distinction costs real money. Membership structures vary: some are required with the home, some optional, some sold separately to non-residents, and some carry a waiting list. Confirm which applies to the specific address, and the current dues, directly with the club before relying on it.
Stoneybrook at Heritage Harbour offers 18-hole golf course, 12,000 sq ft clubhouse, Junior Olympic pool, Fitness center, Tennis and pickleball courts, among others. Worth separating two things that often get blurred together: amenities the HOA maintains and which every owner pays for, and club or golf facilities that may require a separate membership on top. Which category each amenity falls into determines your actual annual cost, and it is set out in the community documents rather than in any listing.
16 arm's-length sales have been recorded in Stoneybrook at Heritage Harbour since October 2023, at a median of $382,000. The middle eighty percent of those sales fell between $340,000 and $719,000, which is a better guide to the range than the extremes. These are prices recorded with Manatee County, not asking prices, so they describe what buyers and sellers actually agreed. Figures read October 2026; quitclaims, foreclosures and family transfers are excluded.
71% of the 123 matched residential units in Stoneybrook at Heritage Harbour claim a homestead exemption, which Florida grants only on an owner's permanent residence, read from the Manatee County roll in October 2026. That reads as most homes here are claimed as a permanent residence. Homestead is a tax filing, not an occupancy count. A rented home can house full-time residents and will never carry the exemption, and an owner who lives here but never filed does not appear in it either. Read it as what share of matched residential units claim the exemption, not as who lives here.
The most recent home the county records in Stoneybrook at Heritage Harbour was completed in 2006, across 129 platted parcels of which 123 carry a finished home. The county records no completions in Stoneybrook at Heritage Harbour in the last three years, so what trades is resale. An absence of recent completions is not by itself proof that no further building is permitted. Build year matters more in Florida than buyers expect, because insurers weight roof age heavily and it drives what a property costs to carry rather than just what it costs to buy.
Yes. Stoneybrook at Heritage Harbour carries an estimated CDD assessment of $941 - $1,389, on top of an HOA fee estimated at $1,104 - $1,628 yearly. A community development district assessment can have two components, and they behave differently: debt service repays the bonds that funded the roads, drainage and amenities, and ends when those bonds are retired, while an operations and maintenance charge pays to run what the bonds built and does not. Both are billed with your property taxes rather than by the association, and both are separate from the HOA. Assessments are set annually and vary by home and phase, so confirm the current components for the specific address.
The flood zone recorded for Stoneybrook at Heritage Harbour is X. Zones beginning A or V are the higher-risk categories, where a federally backed mortgage generally requires flood insurance, while zone X is lower risk and coverage is usually optional. Flood zone is assigned per property rather than per community though, and elevation can change both the requirement and the premium substantially, so get the zone and the elevation certificate for the exact address rather than relying on a community-level figure.
