Market Score Breakdown
Five dimensions StaySTRA evaluates per market.
Market Overview
Englewood sits along the Gulf Coast on the Charlotte and Sarasota county line in southwest Florida, anchored by 11 miles of barrier-island beaches on Manasota Key. The STR market is substantial: approximately 22,055 tracked listings by bedroom count as of the latest snapshot, with 21,299 classified as entire-place rentals. In April 2026, the all-listing average daily rate reached $395.74 and occupancy came in at 62.5%, producing a RevPAR of $247.35 and average monthly revenue of $6,561 per listing.
Year-over-year, occupancy fell 4.8 percentage points in April 2026 compared to April 2025, reflecting some softening in the post-pandemic demand surge. ADR, however, rose 6.6% and revenue grew 6.95%, indicating that rate gains are more than offsetting the occupancy decline. The 2025 annual average occupancy was 62.4% and annual average ADR was $318, with monthly revenue averaging $5,194.
By bedroom count, 2-bedroom properties lead the market at 8,989 listings, followed by 3-bedroom (5,798), 1-bedroom (4,194), 4-bedroom (2,115), and 5-bedroom (959). Channel distribution shows 13,503 listings on both Airbnb and VRBO, 5,179 Airbnb-only, and 3,387 VRBO-only. The market’s revenue growth score of 80.43 out of 100 is a relative strength, while seasonality (61.51) and regulation (59.11) are more moderate scores.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Englewood spans two counties, and the regulatory requirements depend on which county a property sits in.
Charlotte County (most of Englewood mainland and southern Manasota Key): No STR-specific ordinance. Operators need a Florida DBPR Vacation Rental Dwelling or Condo License, a Charlotte County Business Tax Receipt (approximately $35/year), and a Charlotte County Tourist Tax Account. Combined lodging tax is 12%: 5% Charlotte County Tourist Development Tax, 6% state sales tax, and 1% discretionary county surtax. No minimum night stay, no owner-occupancy requirement, and no primary-residence requirement apply. Enforcement is complaint-driven.
Sarasota County (northern end of Manasota Key and some parcels): More restrictive. STRs are prohibited in most residential zones and permitted mainly in multi-family zoned barrier island properties. A new ordinance (25-5560) effective 2026 requires a vacation rental certificate, annual renewal, registration with the Sarasota County Tax Collector, and a DBPR license. Combined lodging tax on the Sarasota County side is 13%.
The Florida state preemption statute (F.S. 509.032) limits some local restrictions on STR licensing, but zoning-based restrictions remain valid. Operators on the Sarasota County side face more complex compliance. No owner-occupancy or primary-residence requirement applies in either jurisdiction. Enforcement severity is rated low for the Charlotte County portion.
Market Comparison
Englewood’s April 2026 ADR of $395.74 is well above the US STR median of approximately $220 per night, reflecting the premium commanded by Gulf Coast beachfront and near-beach inventory. At 62.5% occupancy, the market exceeds the US STR median of roughly 55%, and in peak months (February and March) regularly pushes above 80%. These are strong indicators for a market of this size.
Five professional management companies lead the market. AMI Locals tops the list with 517 listings (4.71 rating, 14,805 reviews), followed by SKLRP And LKV with 424 listings (4.71 rating, 4,618 reviews), Evolve with 342 listings (4.71 rating, 10,676 reviews), Vacasa with 298 listings (4.50 rating, 10,778 reviews), and RVA Resort Vacations with 212 listings (4.50 rating, 7,775 reviews). These five operators together represent approximately 1,793 listings, roughly 8.1% of the estimated 22,055-listing market, suggesting the market is fragmented and accessible to independent operators alongside larger firms.
