Pelican Cove is a single-story condominium community in Sarasota, established in 1979, composed of one-level 1- and 2-bedroom residences organized across expansive, gated grounds. Units commonly feature high or vaulted ceilings, open living/dining footprints, cathedral details, solid wood cabinets, walk-in closets and glass-enclosed lanais that extend living space toward landscaped preserves. Exterior amenities across the property include multiple screened and glassed lanais, private balconies, outdoor showers, irrigation and lighting systems, tennis courts, fenced dog run areas and plentiful mature tropical landscaping. The complex functions like a small village with three clubhouses, six heated pools, four lighted tennis/pickleball courts, a marina with roughly 85–87 boat slips and numerous boardwalks, walking trails, fishing piers, a bird sanctuary and botanical gardens. Community programming is extensive: resident-run clubs, classes offered through an on-site “Pelican Cove University,” regular social events and arts/recreation activities. Practical conveniences include gated access, on-site maintenance of grounds, laundry closets in units, and pet-friendly policies for owners. The setting is waterfront on Little Sarasota Bay with direct bay access (no fixed bridges), and the neighborhood is minutes from Siesta Key beaches, downtown Sarasota dining and nearby shopping.
