Welcome to Pelican Cove, a true hidden gem where everyday living feels quietly tucked away in nature. This 2-bedroom, 2-bath second-floor condo offers a light and airy feel, with clerestory windows bringing in an abundance of natural light and peaceful garden views from nearly every angle. The home can be offered fully furnished, making it an easy transition whether you’re looking for a full-time residence or seasonal retreat. Set within a gated, 24-hour guarded waterfront community, Pelican Cove is known for its lush, mature landscaping that creates a setting unlike anything else in the area. Towering trees, bamboo, and winding paths give the neighborhood a serene, almost jungle-like feel, while also serving as a bird sanctuary filled with unique wildlife. It’s not uncommon to spot manatees along the boat docks or catch a glimpse of wildlife moving through the trees at dusk. For those who enjoy life on the water, the community offers boat slips accommodating vessels up to 40 feet at exceptionally low lease rates, along with storage and launch areas for kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards. Scenic boardwalks, fishing docks, and a waterfront gazebo add to the overall experience. Residents also enjoy access to multiple clubhouses, each with its own character, including one large enough to host over 200 guests with a grand piano, as well as spaces with fitness facilities and rentable rooms with full kitchens. There are six pools throughout the community, including one with a hot tub conveniently located near the unit, along with tennis and pickleball courts, walking trails, a library, and a wide variety of social, fitness, and creative activities. The association covers water, sewer, trash, and cable, allowing for easy, low-maintenance living. Pelican Cove offers a lifestyle that feels private, peaceful, and connected to nature, while still being close to everything Sarasota has to offer.
