The Cape Coral neighborhood of Burnt Store Marina is the luxurious gateway to Charlotte Harbor, the second-largest saltwater estuary in Florida. The community was purchased by the renowned Safe Harbor Marina company in 2017 and has since attracted boat enthusiasts from all over the country. With over 900 slips, homeowners can easily explore nearby attractions like the Peace River or the Gulf of Mexico. Various housing types provide a retreat from sea-faring adventures and are close to other community amenities, including tennis courts, swimming pools and three executive golf courses. While the neighborhood is 20 miles outside of downtown Fort Myers, many come here to avoid the crowds and enjoy the sunshine of Southwest Florida. “Burnt Store Marina is off the beaten path and does not necessarily appeal to the masses, but its really strong attribute comes from a boating perspective,” says Jennifer Calenda MBA, local broker-owner of Calenda Real Estate Group with over 20 years of experience in the area. “It’s really in a magnificent spot on the banks of Charlotte Harbor, where you’re just 10 miles from the Gulf of Mexico.”

The marina is the largest deep-water marina on Florida’s west coast and offers over 900 wet and dry slips. Fuel pumps, valet launches and freshwater hookups are available to all boat owners, allowing for a convenient and easy nautical experience. Days on the water are spent exploring nearby aquatic preserves or casting a line to try and hook the area’s plentiful game fish, including tarpon, snook and goliath groupers. “It's great for fishermen when they come home at night because they don’t have to go through a whole canal system,” Calenda says. “You can just get home and fry up the fish you caught.” Boat rentals and charters are also available for those who don’t own their own watercraft. The Burnt Store Marina Country Club features a 27-hole executive golf course designed by Ron Garl and Mark McCumber. The semi-private course winds through residential and wooded areas and has been described as challenging yet enjoyable. The neighborhood has vibrant tennis and pickleball communities with annual tournaments and team play. Other amenities include swimming pools, spas and a fitness center.

Florida ranch homes and high-rise condos behind a fully staffed gate
Behind the 24-hour staffed gate lies various housing styles, with single-family and multifamily options available. Villa-style duplexes back up to the golf course, while high-rise condos tower over the blue waters of the marina. Florida-style-ranch homes with Mediterranean flair can be found in the northern section of the neighborhood and often feature private backyard pools. Palm-tree-lined streets wind throughout, and most residents get around by golf cart. “It really is a golf cart community,” Calenda says. “People just cruise around whenever they’re going somewhere.” Unlike most gated communities, Burnt Store Marina maintains a varied architectural style, avoiding the cookie-cutter look. “The community is diverse because of the different influences it had over the years,” Calenda says. “There’s been a lot of different developers and residents who like to move around within the community.” Three-bedroom single-family homes range between $450,000 and $700,000, while larger four-bedroom estates can top $1 million. Multifamily condos range between $250,000 and $750,000, depending on the number of bedrooms and waterfront views. The neighborhood has 47 Associations that act as HOAs, and all homeowners are zoned into the master association, which charges yearly fees.

Cass Cay Restaurant & Bar is the entertainment hub
Although commercial activity in the surrounding area is limited, Burnt Store Marina has three convenient on-site dining locations. The Trading Post is a one-stop shop where visitors find a full-service restaurant with classic lunch and breakfast items and a convenience store with snacks and ice-cold beverages. The Linkside Café, which offers evening dining, happy hour and Sunday brunch, is a good spot for golfers to take a break from the course and enjoy a meal. Cass Cay Restaurant & Bar is a popular eatery, and diners can enjoy upscale seafood and cocktails on the outdoor patio or indoor dining room. Live music echoes through the restaurant every night, and other entertainment includes Karaoke and Bar Bingo. While some certainly come for the atmosphere, others like to kick back and observe. “Sitting in the Cass Cascade looking out at the hundreds of boats in the Marina,” says Luke Andreae, local Realtor with the Andreae Team at Re/Max. “That’s my favorite thing to do here.” Outside the gates, Dollar General is next door. The Burnt Store Shopping Center is 10 miles away and features a Publix and Home Depot.

The widening of Burnt Store Road
The widening of Burnt Store Road has widened the radar of many prospective homebuyers in the area. “For over thirty years, the only way to get to the marina was by car via a two-lane road with no shoulder, which was not very pleasant,” Andreae says. “Due to the continued growth of Punta Gorda Cape Coral, Burnt Store Road has been widened to four lanes with sidewalks and a palm tree-lined media.” Residents are equidistant from downtown Cape Coral and Fort Myers, with both city centers being a little over 20 miles away. Southwest Florida International Airport is 40 miles away and offers multiple domestic and international flights. Alternatively, Punta Gorda Airport is 14 miles north and has become popular due to its Midwest and Northeast routes offered by Allegiant Air. ShorePoint Health Punta Gorda is the closest medical center, 14 miles away.

There’s always something going on in Burnt Store Marina
From live music and get-togethers to resident-run clubs, there is always something happening in the neighborhood. The Pickleball Club is one of the more active groups and hosts numerous outings and tournaments throughout the year. Other clubs include the bicycle group, dragon boat teams and an Angler’s Fishing Club. The Golf Cart Parade is one of the bigger celebrations and occurs yearly around the holidays. Residents decorate their golf carts and take to the streets to gather, socialize and celebrate. And when the party is over, homeowners get to work and actively strive to make changes they wish to see in their community. “When residents want to do things, they get together and make it happen,” Calenda says. “For example, we just got a brand-new dog park.

Hurricane Risks
