1633 Boathouse Cir

Pelican Cove is a single-story, gated waterfront condominium community developed around 75 acres of landscaped bayfront in Sarasota, Florida. Built in 1980, the complex groups low-rise condominium buildings around a protected 86–87 slip boat harbor and miles of walking trails, boardwalks and freshwater creek edges. Units are predominantly three-bedroom layouts (with some one- and two-bedroom configurations present in listings) featuring vaulted or cathedral ceilings, open floorplans, stone counters, solid wood cabinetry and large sliders or lanais that reinforce an indoor/outdoor Florida lifestyle. Grounds emphasize tropical planting, manicured lawns and a recognized conservation-minded landscape program; outdoor amenities include multiple heated pools, lighted tennis courts, pickleball, basketball and shuffleboard courts, playgrounds, a dog run, storage and irrigation systems. Community facilities span three clubhouses with fitness rooms, saunas, art and pottery studios, meeting spaces, and a community-run “Pelican Cove University” offering classes and clubs. Marine-oriented services include an active marina with boat slips, kayak/canoe racks and launch areas. The association maintains gated entry and on-site management; typical unit upgrades noted in listings include Miami-Dade hurricane-rated sliders, updated HVAC, and modernized kitchens. The overall character is resort-like and activity-focused, appealing to buyers seeking a secure, amenity-rich, bayfront residential environment rather than high-rise urban living.
