While many builders paused development during the Southwest Florida housing downturn, Minto Communities moved forward with a long-term vision. In 2010, the Canadian-based developer began transforming previously acquired land on Perico Island — ideally positioned along Manatee Avenue between Bradenton and Anna Maria Island. The result was Harbour Isle on Anna Maria Sound, a coastal community designed to stand apart from traditional Mediterranean-style developments.
Rather than following the common architectural trends of the time, Minto introduced an appealing blend of Caribbean and Southern Coastal design. Elevated façades, inviting porches, and island-inspired detailing give Harbour Isle a relaxed yet refined character that complements its waterfront setting.
Mangrove Walk is one of the most distinctive residential sections within Harbour Isle. This enclave features five thoughtfully designed floor plans inspired by Caribbean island villages. The largest model, the Harbour Grand Retreat, offers more than 3,500 square feet of living space with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a den, sunroom, foyer, and covered lanai. Even the more modest Bimini model provides nearly 2,500 square feet, making these residences spacious by island standards.
Floor plans emphasize open-concept living, upgraded kitchens, expansive windows, and outdoor living areas designed to capture coastal breezes. Over the years, property values in Harbour Isle have shown strong appreciation, reflecting the community’s desirable location and distinctive architectural style.
Harbour Isle is especially appealing to nature lovers. Residents can explore a two-mile walking trail that winds through the island and connects to a 38-acre lake, mangrove preserve, and kayak launch. It’s common to spot manatees, dolphins, ospreys, and egrets along the shoreline.
Community amenities further enhance the resort-style atmosphere and include:
- Resort-style swimming pool
- Clubhouse and social spaces
- Fitness facilities
- Nature trails and lake access
- Kayak launch
With its proximity to the beaches of Anna Maria Island and convenient access to both Bradenton and Sarasota, Harbour Isle offers a rare combination of coastal lifestyle, modern amenities, and strong long-term appeal.
