1711 Pelican Cvs Rd

Pelican Cove is a single-story, garden-style condominium enclave established in 1979 and set across 75 acres of landscaped grounds on Sarasota Bay. The complex is composed primarily of two-bedroom units with open floorplans, vaulted or cathedral ceilings, skylights, and features like solid-surface and stone counters, walk-in closets, and enclosed lanais that extend living space. Buildings are arranged around courtyards, walking paths and multiple community pools; many ground-floor units offer direct rear access to greenbelts and pool decks. Common exterior elements include balconies or screened lanais, outdoor showers, irrigation and lighting systems, a dog run, and multiple tennis courts. Pelican Cove’s infrastructure supports boating with an 86–87 slip private harbor, kayak/canoe launch and fishing piers, plus gated 24-hour security, on-site maintenance, and covered one-car carports for most units. The community programming emphasizes active adult living: three clubhouses, several art studios, a woodworking shop, fitness facilities, organized classes (branded as Pelican Cove University), and more than 30 social clubs. Located on Sarasota’s south side, the campus is minutes from Siesta Key beaches, restaurants and shopping, offering a resort-like, low-maintenance lifestyle amid mature oaks, tropical plantings and miles of nature trails and boardwalks.
