Island Harbors sits within Matlacha, the color-splashed fishing village strung along Pine Island Road between Cape Coral and Pine Island proper. This is a small, water-oriented pocket where the appeal is direct access to the mangrove flats and Matlacha Pass — every active listing here is a waterfront property, so life revolves around boats, docks, and the tidal creeks that thread through Lee County's Gulf side.
For a buyer today, this is a thin, deliberate market rather than a fast one. There are just 3 active Matlacha homes for sale in Island Harbors, with a median list price of $650,000 and homes typically sitting around 180 days before they move. If you want a full picture, the live map shows exactly what's on and where it sits on the water — patience and a clear-eyed offer strategy matter more here than speed.
Island Harbors is a community in Matlacha, Florida.

Straight answers
Island Harbors FAQs
Is Island Harbors a good place to live?+
It's a strong fit if you want a small, water-focused community with direct access to Matlacha Pass and the surrounding flats. Every active home here is waterfront, so boating and fishing are built into daily life. It's part of the broader Matlacha village character rather than a large planned subdivision.
Is Island Harbors expensive?+
It sits in the mid-to-upper range for the area, with a median list price of $650,000 and active listings spanning $355,000 to $687,500. There are no $1M-plus homes currently on the market, so it reads as accessible waterfront rather than luxury. Property taxes run around $3,488 a year at the median.
What do homes cost in Island Harbors?+
The median list price is $650,000, and homes average about $438 per square foot on a median size near 1,123 square feet. The single home sold in the past year closed at $445,000, which shows how much negotiation and specific property condition can move the number in a market this small.
How is the market in Island Harbors?+
It's slow and deliberate, with just 3 active Matlacha homes for sale and a median 180 days on market. Only one home sold over the past 12 months, and sellers averaged 94% of asking, so there's room to negotiate for a well-prepared buyer. Patience is the right posture here.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
There's no HOA data reported for the active listings, which is common for this kind of independent waterfront community. Property taxes come in around $3,488 per year at the median, a figure worth confirming per parcel since waterfront assessments vary.
