Sarasota real estate in Pelican Cove

Sarasota real estate in Pelican Cove is fortunate to sit in a quiet undisturbed piece of land adjacent to little Sarasota bay in the south west corner of Sarasota. Sarasota homes here are divided into six mini sub-divisions, all of which are aptly named after their location in the community. The Bay houses, the Harbor houses, the Glen houses, the Grove houses and the Brook houses all of which are two story condominiums. The sixth sub-division is the Tree houses which offers town homes.

This gated bay front community has over 700 Florida homes offering a choice of 23 floor plans nestling happily amongst the woods, manicured lawns and landscaping with a multitude of differing plants which were originally laid out by a former owner of the land May Wilbanks. Many of the plants on display are name tagged which adds to the aura of being in a private garden rather than a condominium complex.

With miles of walking trails meandering through the lush vegetation alongside the bay this really is a nature lovers paradise, for those who prefer to explore among the Mangroves there is plenty of room bay side to store canoes and Kayaks. For the more serious boaters there are 87 boat slips in the harbor which are able to accommodate boats up to 40 feet at very reasonable rental costs.

Each of the six sub divisions has a swimming pool which is available to all irrespective of the sub division of residence and the three club houses offer everything from tennis to education. The latter provided by retired university professors who live in this beautiful community. Although many residents are retirees this is not a 55 plus community, the children of visitors are made extremely welcome and fit easily into the lifestyle available at Pelican Cove.

Whilst the ambience of Pelican Cove is one of natural serenity and seclusion it is by no means cut off from everything Sarasota has to offer, the Westgate Mall is minutes away and provides a variety of shopping, a cinema complex and local restaurants provide for all tastes. When something a little different is required, the cultural centers of Sarasota and Venice are only a short car ride away as are the world famous, beautiful gulf beaches.

Excellent medical facilities with close proximity to major travel routes and international airports make homes in Pelican Point a favorite choice for those seeking Florida vacation or retirement homes.
