1261 Beach Road

Waterfront commercial potential meets direct boating access in one of Englewood’s most visible coastal corridors. Currently configured with two residential units on the upper floor and commercial space on the first floor, this distinctive property offers an established mixed-use layout with the flexibility to be reimagined for its next chapter. The interior has been restored to a shell, creating a blank canvas for an investor, developer, hospitality operator, business owner, or visionary entrepreneur to design a space tailored to their goals.

Zoned Commercial General in Charlotte County, the property may support a variety of future concepts, including a boutique hotel, motel, inn, restaurant, retail destination, professional office, gallery, service business, marine-oriented operation, or another hospitality and commercial use, subject to county verification, permitting, and approval. The combination of residential accommodations above and business space below also creates intriguing possibilities for an owner-operated business, live-work environment, employee or guest accommodations, or an income-producing coastal destination. The waterfront setting further separates this property from a typical commercial offering. Two private docks provide four total boat slips along a short canal leading quickly to the Intracoastal Waterway, Lemon Bay, and the Gulf. This exceptional access creates natural appeal for boaters, visitors, vacationers, charter-related businesses, waterfront dining concepts, and hospitality ventures seeking an authentic Southwest Florida experience. Positioned near Englewood Beach, area restaurants, shopping, recreation, and established local businesses, this property offers the location, zoning, boating infrastructure, and creative freedom needed to bring a memorable waterfront vision to life. Whether transformed into a boutique lodging destination, mixed-use investment, signature coastal business, or something entirely original, the foundation is here and ready for imagination.
