HOA with bundled golf included, Lee County property taxes, post-Ian insurance, and a direct comparison to Gulf Harbour for active golfer buyers.
The Hideaway's key financial characteristic: golf is bundled into the HOA. You pay one monthly number and golf is part of the package. This simplicity is appealing to buyers who have evaluated Gulf Harbour (mandatory club fee of $600–$900/month on top of HOA) and want club-golf lifestyle at lower cost. Here is the full picture.
| Unit Type | Monthly HOA (golf included) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Condominiums | ~$400–$480/mo | Golf access bundled; building insurance typically included in sub-assoc. fee |
| Villas | ~$430–$500/mo | Golf access bundled; exterior landscape maintenance included |
For a buyer who plays golf 3+ days per week: At Pelican Preserve, add $300–$500/month for optional golf membership to the base HOA. At Gulf Harbour, pay $800–$1,000/month club fee (golf tier) plus HOA. At The Hideaway, golf is bundled into the $400–$500/month HOA. For an active golfer, The Hideaway's all-in monthly cost is typically $500–$800 per month less than Gulf Harbour at comparable home prices.
| Home Value | Tax (homestead only) | Tax (homestead + senior) |
|---|---|---|
| $220,000 | ~$2,280/yr · $190/mo | ~$1,610/yr · $134/mo |
| $320,000 | ~$3,610/yr · $301/mo | ~$2,940/yr · $245/mo |
| $390,000 | ~$4,550/yr · $379/mo | ~$3,880/yr · $323/mo |
Insurance at The Hideaway follows the same Lee County patterns as Cinnamon Cove and Brandywine — older construction requires roof and four-point inspection before buying. Condo buyers benefit from master building policy. Villa buyers carry their own wind coverage ($3,500–$7,000/year) plus flood if applicable.
| Cost Item | Monthly |
|---|---|
| HOA with bundled golf | $450 |
| Property tax (homestead) | $222 |
| CDD (verify) | TBD |
| HO-6 interior policy | $110 |
| Monthly Total (ex-CDD) | ~$782 |
