$585,000
Median of 6 recorded sales since October 2023, the middle eighty percent between $500,000 and $700,000.
1%
Of the 106 finished houses here carry a homestead exemption, which reads as almost entirely second homes, rentals and investors.
Newest building completed 1973. The roll records no completions here in the last three years, so this is a built-out community rather than one still being delivered.
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 a strong proxy for how many owners live here full time, not a census of them.
At an estimated $6,200 a year in combined HOA and CDD, Casa Del Mar sits about 69% below the Longboat Key median of $20,000, ranking 5 of the 62 Longboat Key communities whose fees this site tracks. There is no CDD assessment here, which is what keeps that figure down.

How much do homes in Casa Del Mar cost?+

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.
What amenities does Casa Del Mar have?+

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.
What have homes in Casa Del Mar actually sold for?+
6 arm's-length sales have been recorded in Casa Del Mar since October 2023, at a median of $585,000. The middle eighty percent of those sales fell between $500,000 and $700,000, 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.
Do people live in Casa Del Mar year round?+
1% of the 106 finished homes in Casa Del Mar carry a homestead exemption, which Florida grants only on an owner's permanent residence. That reads as almost entirely second homes, rentals and investors. It is a strong proxy rather than a census, since an owner who lives there but never filed does not appear in it, but it is the most direct public signal of how occupied a community is outside the winter.
Is Casa Del Mar still being built?+
The most recent home the county records in Casa Del Mar was completed in 1973, across 107 platted parcels of which 106 carry a finished home. The county records no completions here in the last three years, so Casa Del Mar is built out and what trades is resale rather than new construction. 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.
Does Casa Del Mar have an HOA or CDD fee?+
Casa Del Mar has an HOA fee estimated at $5,800 - $6,600 yearly, and the fee data for this community records no CDD assessment. That matters more than it sounds: a CDD is a bond repayment attached to the land and billed with your property taxes, so its absence is a permanent annual difference against communities that carry one. Figures are estimates and vary by home, so confirm them for the specific address before relying on them.
What flood zone is Casa Del Mar in?+
The flood zone recorded for Casa Del Mar is X / AE. 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.
