Michael’s Take
County roll: 103 assessed lots, built 1990 to 2001, Sarasota County. Recorded at plat book 33 page 47 as Manchester Bay, now known as Queens Harbour, which is worth knowing because the older name still appears in title work. No CDD; Longboat Key carries none.

29%
Of the 102 finished houses here carry a homestead exemption, which reads as largely second homes and seasonal owners.
Newest building completed 2001. 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 $12,941 a year in combined HOA and CDD, Queens Harbour sits about 35% below the Longboat Key median of $20,000, ranking 6 of the 62 Longboat Key communities whose fees this site tracks. There is no CDD assessment here, which is what keeps that figure down.

As single-family housing, the roof, the exterior and the insurance on the structure are yours rather than an association's, which is the main practical difference from a villa or condominium. 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 Queens Harbour?+
Golf is central to Queens 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.
What amenities does Queens Harbour 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 Queens Harbour actually sold for?+
28 arm's-length sales have been recorded in Queens Harbour since October 2023, at a median of $2,275,000. The middle eighty percent of those sales fell between $1,425,000 and $2,900,000, 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 Queens Harbour year round?+
29% of the 102 finished homes in Queens Harbour 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 Queens Harbour still being built?+
The most recent home the county records in Queens Harbour was completed in 2001, across 103 platted parcels of which 102 carry a finished home. The county records no completions here in the last three years, so Queens Harbour 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 Queens Harbour have an HOA or CDD fee?+
Queens Harbour has an HOA fee estimated at $11,400 - $14,482 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 Queens Harbour in?+
The flood zone recorded for Queens Harbour 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.
