Pelican Cove in Sarasota is a gated residential condominium that delivers significant value at very affordable prices. Pelican Cove is situated in a prime location, right in front of the Little Sarasota Bay. The 731 residential units are located within 75 forest acres that have been carefully preserved to resemble a botanical garden.

Pelican Cove is made up of six distinct neighborhoods: Bayhouse, Brookhouse, Harborhouse, Glenhouse, Grovehouse, and Treehouse. The name of each neighborhood indicates the location of the condominium residences within Pelican Cove. The Bayhouses and Harborhouses, for example, are the most coveted units due to their dockside location overlooking the Little Sarasota Bay and a narrow portion of Siesta Key.

House hunters have 23 different floor plans to choose from at Pelican Cove. Considering the prime location and the waterfront aspect of the Pelican Cove community, the real estate prices are very reasonable. The units have a townhome feel, and no building is higher than two stories. A cozy one-bedroom unit with 731 square feet of living space starts at just $100,000. Large units with waterfront vistas, four bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms on 2,396 square feet can be negotiated for $319,000.

To add even more value and quality of life at Pelican Cove, residents are treated to many amenities. The private docks can accommodate boats up to 40 feet, and the annual fees rival many of the public marinas. The community attracts many active seniors who take advantage of three clubhouses, six swimming pools, basketball and tennis courts, shuffleboard, fitness centers, a boardwalk, nature trails, and even an auditorium.

Pelican Cove residents don’t have to travel far for shopping and dining. The Westfield Mall is a very short drive away, and downtown Sarasota is just a couple of miles to the north. Access to the beaches of Siesta Key via the Stickney Point Rd causeway is also nearby. Young residents can attend Gulf Gate Elementary, Brookside Middle and Riverview High Schools.
