Discreet 24/7 Biohazard Remediation in Burnt Store Marina, FL

Burnt Store Marina is an unincorporated, gated census-designated place in northwestern Lee County, Florida, built around the marina of the same name on Charlotte Harbor.

Its population was 1,890 at the 2020 census, up from 1,271 in 2000, living in 1,044 households.

The marina at its center is billed as the largest marina on Florida's west coast, with 525 deep-water wet slips that can accommodate vessels up to 100 feet, plus several hundred dry-storage spaces.

From the marina, boaters have direct access to Charlotte Harbor — Florida's second-largest estuary, covering about 270 square miles — and can reach the Gulf of Mexico in roughly 10 miles.

Local legend holds that the "Burnt Store" name comes from a settler trading post on the harbor that was burned during a Seminole attack in the 1800s and never rebuilt; the road leading to it became Burnt Store Road.

The community's country club runs a 27-hole executive golf course made up of three 9-hole courses — Heron, Osprey and Pelican — designed by Ron Garl and Mark McCumber.

Burnt Store Marina is a classic Florida retirement enclave: the median age at the 2020 census was 71.3 years, nearly three-quarters of residents were 65 or older, and fewer than 1% were children.

The seasons rule its housing: about 44% of its 1,850 housing units were vacant at the 2020 census, reflecting its many seasonal and second homes.

Although it sits in Lee County and borders the city of Cape Coral, Burnt Store Marina uses a Punta Gorda mailing address (ZIP code 33955) from across the Charlotte County line.

The gated community covers about 600 acres wrapped around the marina basins and contains more than 1,900 residences, from condos and villas to townhomes and single-family houses.
