How Marina Bay compares

From the county records

$1,700,000

Median of 10 recorded sales since October 2023, the middle eighty percent between $1,495,000 and $2,400,000.

25%

Of the 60 finished houses here carry a homestead exemption, which reads as largely second homes and seasonal owners.

Newest building completed 1993. 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 Sarasota 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 $27,913 a year in combined HOA and CDD, Marina Bay sits about 40% above the Longboat Key median of $20,000, ranking 46 of the 62 Longboat Key communities whose fees this site tracks. There is no CDD assessment here, which is what keeps that figure down.

Marina Bay FAQ

How much do homes in Marina Bay cost?+

Homes in Marina Bay are generally priced in the Est. $1M to $2M range. Pricing moves with the market and varies by floor plan, lot, and incentives, so reach out for the most current numbers.

What kind of homes are in Marina Bay?+

Marina Bay offers bayfront condominium. 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.

Is golf membership required at Marina Bay?+

Golf is central to Marina Bay, 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.

What amenities does Marina Bay have?+

Marina Bay offers Heated pool & spa, Two tennis courts, Fitness room, Walking paths, Bay Isles Beach Club access. 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 Marina Bay actually sold for?+

10 arm's-length sales have been recorded in Marina Bay since October 2023, at a median of $1,700,000. The middle eighty percent of those sales fell between $1,495,000 and $2,400,000, which is a better guide to the range than the extremes. These are prices recorded with Sarasota 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 Marina Bay year round?+

25% of the 60 finished homes in Marina Bay carry a homestead exemption, which Florida grants only on an owner's permanent residence. That reads as largely second homes and seasonal owners. 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 Marina Bay still being built?+

The most recent home the county records in Marina Bay was completed in 1993, across 61 platted parcels of which 60 carry a finished home. The county records no completions here in the last three years, so Marina Bay 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 Marina Bay have an HOA or CDD fee?+

Marina Bay has an HOA fee estimated at $21,026 - $34,799 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 Marina Bay in?+

The flood zone recorded for Marina Bay is 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.
