Your Pelican Cove drive begins when the front gate lifts and the beauty of Pelican Cove unfolds. It is the ideal residence for the active person to enjoy clubs, activities, lectures, classes, art shows, boating, and musical series or simply the peace and quiet offered in this community. The condo is centrally located within Pelican Cove, one of Sarasota's most popular, gated, waterfront complexes. The central location allows easy access to the condo office, each of three clubhouses, four lighted tennis courts, multiple other activities, walking trails and six pools. This paradise is found amid 75 acres of lush naturally landscaped grounds with miles of scenic trails and paths amid old trees, or along waterfront walkways. Owners enjoy flowering trees and plants, birds and other wildlife, fishing piers, salt-water creek and spectacular coastal views. The 84-slip marina offers accessible dock space, along with launch points and nearby storage for kayaks. Pelican Cove has its own "university" with a wide range of courses, plus many other resident-run recreational clubs and activities. Special events and community affairs are featured in the monthly Pelican Cove newsletter.
