What an empty home in Burnt Store Marina needs
Most owners here have a gate to get through, an association to answer to and a boat in the water. Home watch has to cover all three.
The guarded gate
Every visit starts at the gate. We set up access once and keep it current, and we can be the local contact your association has on file while you are away.
A boat at the slip
Salt water, summer storms and months without use are hard on a boat. We check lines, fenders, the bilge, shore power and the battery at your slip, and photograph the boat for the same report as your home.
Boat watch →Condos and attached homes
In Harbour Towers, Southshore and the other condo buildings, a failed AC drain or water heater does not stay in your unit. We check drains, supply lines, the water heater and the AC closet every visit.
Condo watch →Open water on Charlotte Harbor
Homes facing the harbor take the full force of the wind, and Ian passed close by in 2022. We agree on a storm plan for your home and boat before the season and check both as soon as it is safe.
Storm services →Summer heat and humidity
A closed-up condo in August can grow mildew in days if the AC quits. We record the indoor humidity every visit and check the AC, the drain line and the air handler.
A Punta Gorda address in Lee County
Burnt Store Marina uses a Punta Gorda address but sits in unincorporated Lee County, so alarm registration and police response run through the Lee County Sheriff's Office. We can be the local keyholder on your alarm call list, 24/7.

What our clients say
“I’ve worked with a few home watch services, but Ryan Gartrell stands out. Their attention to detail and consistent communication gave me total peace of mind when I was away.”
“After Ian hit while we were on vacation, their team not only informed us promptly but also installed our shutters and put an emergency tarp on our roof. Coming back to a home that was protected was such a relief.”
“Their reports after each visit, coupled with their responsive team, make us feel like we’re there even when we’re miles away.”
Burnt Store Marina home watch FAQ
Can you get through the gate at Burnt Store Marina?
Yes. Before the first visit we set up access with the gate the way the community requires, and we keep it current. If your association asks owners to name a local contact while they are away, you can list us.
How much does home watch cost in Burnt Store Marina?
Our plans are $65 a month for one visit, $109 for two visits and $179 for four visits, with a written report after every visit. Boat watch, keyholder, storm and concierge services can be added. There is no long-term contract.
Do you check boats in the marina?
Yes. Boat watch covers your boat at its slip: lines, fenders, the bilge, shore power, the battery and the canvas, with photos in the same report as your home. We do not take the boat out of the slip.
Do you watch condos in Harbour Towers and Southshore?
Yes. Condo watch covers the things that cause trouble between units: AC drains, the water heater, supply lines, the washer and the balcony. We follow your building's rules for access and water shut-off.
Who handles my alarm, Punta Gorda or Lee County?
Burnt Store Marina is in unincorporated Lee County, so alarms register with the Lee County Sheriff's Office even though the mailing address says Punta Gorda. You can list Trident Home Watch as a keyholder there and on your monitoring company's call list.
What do you do when a hurricane is headed for Burnt Store Marina?
Before the season we agree on a storm plan for your home and boat. When a storm is named we carry it out, including shutters if you have them. Afterward we check the home and boat as soon as it is safe, send photos, fly a drone over the roof when conditions allow, and arrange emergency tarping if you need it.
