Grande Isle Towers: Luxury High-Rise Living at Burnt Store Marina
Grande Isle Towers occupies a prominent waterfront setting on Prosperity Point inside Burnt Store Marina, the gated marina and golf community along Charlotte Harbor. The original Grande Isle development comprises four seven-story towers with spacious three-bedroom residences, screened lanais, under-building parking, elevators, water views, pools, fitness and social amenities. Buyers should also understand an important current distinction: Towers I and II retain the Grande Isle association name, while Towers III and IV are now associated with Sunset Pointe Towers North & South. In addition, the Towers I and II association entered Chapter 11 proceedings in 2026, making current financial, legal, insurance, and lending due diligence particularly important.
Quick Answers About Grande Isle Towers
Where are Grande Isle Towers?
The towers are on Sunset Key Circle on Prosperity Point within Burnt Store Marina, in the Punta Gorda 33955 mailing area of Lee County. The peninsula sits between marina basins with Charlotte Harbor immediately to the west.
How many Grande Isle towers are there?
The original Grande Isle development consists of four seven-story towers at 3313, 3321, 3329, and 3333 Sunset Key Circle. Current records identify 216 residences across the four buildings. Buyers should note that Towers III and IV now operate under the Sunset Pointe Towers North & South identity, while Towers I and II retain the Grande Isle name.
What are Grande Isle residences like?
Three-bedroom residences are characteristic of the towers. Current listings in the original Grande Isle buildings document floor plans from approximately 1,684 square feet to more than 2,400 square feet, including larger end-unit and penthouse configurations. Private elevator entry, screened lanais, storage, and under-building parking are documented features, although exact layouts and features vary by residence.
What views are available?
Depending on tower, floor, and orientation, residences can have expansive views toward Charlotte Harbor, Burnt Store Marina, marina basins, Prosperity Point, and surrounding waterfront scenery. The exact view should always be evaluated from the individual condominium.
Does Grande Isle include resort-style amenities?
Yes. Amenities documented within the Grande Isle tower communities include pools and spas, fitness facilities, social rooms, theater facilities, billiards, grilling areas, sauna or steam facilities, guest accommodations, secured lobby access, elevators, storage, and under-building parking. Amenity access can depend on the specific tower association and current rules.
Does buying at Grande Isle include a boat slip?
A boat slip should not be assumed to transfer with every condominium. Burnt Store Marina provides extensive wet-slip and dry-storage facilities, but marina arrangements are separate from condominium ownership unless a specific property and its legal documents establish otherwise. Buyers should verify current availability, ownership or lease terms, vessel limits, pricing, and marina rules directly with the appropriate marina operator and title professionals.
Is golf membership included?
Golf access should be treated separately from condominium ownership. Burnt Store Marina includes a 27-hole golf facility, but buyers should verify current membership options, fees, availability, privileges, and operating policies directly with the golf club.
Is there anything especially important for 2026 buyers to know?
Yes. Grande Isle Towers I & II Condominium Association, Inc., which governs Towers I and II, filed a voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition on April 27, 2026. That is a material due-diligence issue for anyone considering a residence in those buildings. Towers III and IV are separately governed and should not be assumed to be parties to that proceeding. Buyers should obtain current court, association, insurance, financial, assessment, reserve, and lending information before making a purchasing decision.
Understanding the Four-Tower Grande Isle Setting
Grande Isle was developed on Prosperity Point during the mid-2000s as a four-tower waterfront condominium setting. Current property and association records identify the buildings as 3313, 3321, 3329, and 3333 Sunset Key Circle.
The four towers contain 216 residences in total. Current records identify 112 residences within Towers I and II and 104 within Towers III and IV. This is important because the four buildings do not operate as one undifferentiated condominium association.
Are Towers III and IV still called Grande Isle?
Historically, yes. In 2026, however, the association formerly known as Grande Isle Towers III & IV Condominium Association changed its name. The buildings at 3329 and 3333 Sunset Key Circle are now presented as Sunset Pointe Towers North & South.
That means buyers researching older listings, property records, or neighborhood guides may still encounter the Grande Isle III and IV names. Current governing documents and association information should be used to determine the correct legal and operational identity for a particular residence.
What Are Grande Isle Condos Like?
Grande Isle was designed around larger condominium floor plans than buyers often encounter in conventional high-rise buildings. Three-bedroom configurations are typical, and current listings demonstrate substantial variation in size based on floor plan, position, and penthouse or end-unit status.
- Three-bedroom floor plans typical
- Approximately 1,684 square feet and larger among documented residences
- Larger end-unit and penthouse configurations exceeding 2,400 square feet documented
- Private elevator entry documented in residences
- Large screened lanais
- Charlotte Harbor and marina views depending on orientation
- Under-building parking
- Additional storage associated with residences
- Secured building access
Interior finishes remain unit-specific. Kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, appliances, HVAC equipment, windows, storm protection, furnishings, and renovations should be evaluated for the individual residence rather than assumed from another unit in the building.
What Amenities Are Available at Grande Isle?
Grande Isle's amenity package is one of the characteristics that distinguishes these towers within Burnt Store Marina. Current community and listing information documents resort-oriented facilities designed to complement the waterfront high-rise setting.
- Heated swimming pools and spa facilities
- Fitness facilities
- Social or club rooms
- Catering or gathering spaces
- Private theater facilities
- Billiards and game areas
- Sauna or steam facilities
- Outdoor grilling areas
- Guest accommodations documented within the community
- Secured lobby and elevator access
- Under-building parking
Because Towers I and II and the former Towers III and IV are separately governed, buyers should confirm exactly which amenities belong to the association governing the residence and what access rights transfer with ownership.
What Is Burnt Store Marina Like?
Burnt Store Marina is a gated master-planned community along Charlotte Harbor, south of Punta Gorda and north of Cape Coral. The master association describes a community of approximately 1,920 residences spread across more than 600 acres, with 47 sub-associations and a mix of high-rise condominiums, villas, attached residences, and single-family homes.
Grande Isle occupies one of the community's distinctive waterfront locations on Prosperity Point. Residents live inside the broader Burnt Store Marina environment, which includes boating facilities, golf, dining, fitness and racquet facilities, and independent recreational businesses.
Is Burnt Store Marina gated?
Yes. Burnt Store Marina is gated. The community's master association states that the primary Burnt Store Road gate is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with separate access procedures for residents, guests, renters, employees, service providers, and commercial traffic.
What Is the Boating Lifestyle at Burnt Store Marina?
Boating is central to the Burnt Store Marina setting. The community sits directly on Charlotte Harbor, with a deep-water marina providing wet slips, dry storage, a boat ramp, and supporting marine services. The master association describes the marina as the largest deep-water marina on Florida's west coast.
Burnt Store Marina is approximately 10 nautical miles from the Gulf of Mexico through Boca Grande Pass. The route from the marina toward the Gulf does not require passage beneath fixed bridges, an important distinction for many larger powerboats and sailboats.
Does a Grande Isle condo automatically include marina dockage?
No buyer should assume that condominium ownership automatically conveys a marina slip. Marina dockage and storage arrangements are separate unless the title and transaction documents for a particular property establish otherwise.
Boat owners should confirm current slip availability, wet or dry storage options, vessel-size limits, lease or ownership arrangements, pricing, marina rules, utilities, insurance requirements, and access directly with the marina operator before making a purchase dependent on boat storage.
What About Golf, Fitness, Tennis, and Pickleball?
Burnt Store Marina combines its boating environment with a 27-hole golf facility. The broader community also offers fitness, tennis, pickleball, pool and social opportunities through its recreational facilities and clubs.
Residents also have dining options within the community, including waterfront and golf-oriented locations. Independent businesses inside the gates provide services that can include boating, charters, kayak rentals, golf-cart services, and other recreational activities.
Ownership of a Grande Isle residence should not be interpreted as automatically including every golf, fitness, racquet, marina, yacht-club, or other optional membership. Buyers should verify current membership structures, availability, fees, and access directly with the applicable operator or club.
What Should Buyers Know About the 2026 Towers I and II Chapter 11 Filing?
Buyers considering Towers I and II should be aware of a significant current association matter. Grande Isle Towers I & II Condominium Association, Inc. filed a voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition on April 27, 2026, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida, Fort Myers Division. The public case is identified as 2:26-bk-00951.
A Chapter 11 filing is not something a buyer should interpret from a short online summary. The practical effect on association operations, finances, insurance, assessments, reserves, lending, closing requirements, and individual owners depends on current facts, court filings, association records, and the buyer's particular transaction.
Before purchasing in Towers I or II, buyers should obtain the current association budget, financial statements, reserve information, assessment history, insurance documents, meeting minutes, litigation information, bankruptcy disclosures, and relevant court filings. Questions about the legal effect of the proceeding should be reviewed with a qualified Florida real estate or bankruptcy attorney. Financing implications should be discussed with the buyer's lender, and insurance questions should be reviewed with a qualified insurance professional.
Does the Towers I and II filing apply to Towers III and IV?
The towers are separately governed. Towers III and IV, now associated with Sunset Pointe Towers North & South, should not be assumed to be parties to the Towers I and II Chapter 11 case. Buyers should nevertheless conduct independent financial, insurance, reserve, structural, assessment, and legal due diligence for whichever tower they are considering.
What Should Buyers Review About Association Costs and Responsibilities?
Grande Isle ownership involves multiple layers of community governance. Association materials for Towers I and II identify membership and assessment obligations involving the individual condominium association, the Prosperity Point Master Association, and the broader Punta Gorda Isles Section 22 organization governing Burnt Store Marina.
That structure makes it particularly important to understand which expenses are billed by which association and what each payment covers. Buyers should obtain current figures rather than relying on a previous listing or historical fee.
- Current condominium association assessments
- Prosperity Point assessments, when applicable
- Burnt Store Marina Section 22 assessments
- Current and proposed special assessments
- Reserve balances and applicable reserve studies
- Recent board and owner meeting minutes
- Master insurance coverage and deductibles
- Structural inspection and maintenance information
- Current litigation and legal proceedings
- Rental restrictions and application procedures
- Current pet rules
- Parking and storage assignments
- Guest-suite and amenity policies
- Buyer-approval requirements
What Should Buyers Know About Insurance and Waterfront Risk?
Grande Isle's Charlotte Harbor setting makes insurance and storm-related due diligence especially important. High-rise condominium ownership typically involves both association-level master insurance and coverage purchased by the individual unit owner, with responsibilities determined by governing documents, policies, Florida law, and the specific loss involved.
Buyers should review current property, flood, wind, liability, and other relevant insurance information, along with deductibles, exclusions, claims history when available, owner responsibilities, and potential loss-assessment exposure. Towers I and II buyers should give particular attention to current insurance-related matters in light of the association's ongoing Chapter 11 proceeding.
Insurance availability, coverage, deductibles, exclusions, and premiums can vary substantially by building and residence. Buyers should obtain property-specific quotes and review current master-policy information with a qualified Florida insurance professional before making a purchasing decision.
What Should Buyers Inspect in a Grande Isle Residence?
Grande Isle's mid-2000s construction is newer than many established Southwest Florida condominium towers, but buyers should still investigate the individual residence and relevant building systems carefully. Interior renovations can also create meaningful differences among units.
- HVAC equipment and service history
- Water heater and plumbing components within the unit
- Electrical components within the residence
- Windows, sliding doors, and storm-protection systems
- Screened lanai and waterproofing conditions relevant to the unit
- Evidence of previous water or storm-related damage
- Interior renovation quality and permits when applicable
- Appliances and included equipment
- Assigned parking and storage areas
- Responsibility for components shared with or maintained by the association
Inspection findings should be evaluated with the appropriate licensed inspector, contractor, engineer, or other qualified professional. Building-level structural, waterproofing, roofing, elevator, mechanical, and common-element questions should be evaluated using current association records and appropriate professional expertise.
How Does Grande Isle Compare With Other Burnt Store Marina Condos?
Grande Isle stands out within Burnt Store Marina real estate for its high-rise format, larger three-bedroom residences, private elevator entry, substantial amenity facilities, under-building parking, and prominent Prosperity Point waterfront setting.
Other Burnt Store Marina condominiums can offer different combinations of price, floor plan, building height, marina proximity, golf views, parking, pools, elevators, association structures, and monthly expenses. Buyers should compare not only the residence and view, but also the financial condition and obligations of each individual association.
Is Grande Isle a Good Fit for Your Southwest Florida Condo Search?
Grande Isle may merit consideration for buyers seeking spacious high-rise condominium living, expansive Charlotte Harbor or marina views, screened outdoor space, elevators, covered parking, resort-style amenities, and access to the broader boating and golf environment of Burnt Store Marina.
The four-tower history also means buyers need to identify exactly which building and association they are evaluating. Towers I and II and the buildings now known as Sunset Pointe Towers North & South should not be treated as financially or legally interchangeable merely because they share the original Grande Isle development history and Prosperity Point location.
For Towers I and II in particular, the active 2026 Chapter 11 proceeding adds a significant layer of due diligence. Buyers should make decisions only after reviewing current association and court information and obtaining property-specific guidance from their lender, insurance professional, attorney, inspector, title professional, and other qualified specialists as appropriate.
