Market Overview
This profile covers the Englewood, Florida short-term rental market using September 2026 data. Performance figures describe the Sarasota-Bradenton Gulf Coast STR market, a shared regional series, so the numbers below are regional rather than unique to Englewood. In September 2026 the average daily rate across all listings was $324, occupancy was 43.2%, and average monthly revenue per listing was $3,942. Entire homes earned an ADR of $330. September is the seasonal low point for the region, which explains the modest occupancy reading. Year over year, occupancy rose 10.0%, ADR rose 13.1%, and revenue rose 22.9%, so rate and demand gains reinforced each other rather than offsetting. The longer view is also constructive. Average annual occupancy was 62.3% in 2025, with a $319 ADR and $5,209 in monthly revenue. Through the first nine months of 2026 those figures are 64.2%, $362 and $6,115. Englewood itself has about 20,800 residents and draws retirees, snowbirds from December through April, and outdoor travelers who come for 11 miles of Manasota Key beaches, shelling and shark tooth hunting, boating, kayaking and fishing. Olde Englewood Village adds antiques shops, galleries and small restaurants. Listing counts by bedroom size, booking channel and listing type are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Englewood, so this profile omits them. Buyers should read the figures as a Gulf Coast regional benchmark and verify local comparables before underwriting a specific property.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals are permitted in Englewood, but the rules depend on which side of the Charlotte and Sarasota county line a property sits. Most of Englewood, including the mainland and the southern part of Manasota Key, is in Charlotte County, which has no STR-specific ordinance. Rentals are allowed in residential, commercial and mixed-use zones. Operators need a Florida DBPR Vacation Rental Dwelling or Condo License, a Charlotte County business tax receipt (around $35 per year) and a county tourist tax account. The combined lodging tax on the Charlotte side is 12%, made up of 5% county tourist development tax, 6% state sales tax and a 1% discretionary surtax. There is no county minimum stay, no owner-occupancy requirement and no primary residence requirement. The Sarasota County portion, including the northern end of Manasota Key, is substantially more restrictive. Unincorporated Sarasota County restricts rentals in most residential zones and permits them mainly in specific multi-unit zoned properties on the barrier islands, and some single-unit residential zones may prohibit them entirely. The combined lodging tax there is 13%. Sarasota County ordinance 25-5560, adopted in 2025, requires a vacation rental certificate with annual renewal beginning in 2026, plus registration with the Sarasota County Tax Collector and DBPR licensing. Licenses renew annually. Enforcement severity is rated low and is complaint-driven, focused on tax compliance and building codes. Confirm the county and zoning of any property before you buy.
Market Comparison
The Sarasota-Bradenton Gulf Coast STR market shows a split picture. September 2026 occupancy of 43.2% reflects the seasonal trough, while the ADR of $324 is lifted by entire homes at $330 and luxury listings at $606. Over the first nine months of 2026, occupancy averaged 64.2% with an ADR of $362. February and March occupancy above 83% contrasts with August through November, when monthly occupancy ran between 43.5% and 55.5%. The market therefore rewards rate strategy and seasonal planning more than year-round volume. Revenue growth of 22.9% year over year also stands out. Top operator names and listing counts are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Englewood, so this profile omits them. Buyers should compare these regional benchmarks with local comparables, particularly because Englewood’s regulations differ between Charlotte County and Sarasota County.
