Sarasota · Florida
A quiet stretch of bay, a canopy of oaks, a community all its own.
Pelican Cove is 75 waterfront acres in South Sarasota — six neighborhoods of low-rise condos, woven through tropical landscape and held together by an active, creative, neighborly culture.
Welcome
More than a place to live. A place that lives.
Tucked west of the Tamiami Trail in the Vamo neighborhood of Sarasota, Pelican Cove was built between 1975 and 1981 — and shaped, year after year, by the people who chose to call it home.
Today it's a recognized award-winner for landscaping and management, minutes from Siesta Key Beach, the Legacy Trail, downtown Sarasota, restaurants, and shopping. But the truth most residents will tell you is simpler: once you're here, you stop wanting to be anywhere else.
On the water
An 86-slip harbor on sailboat water
Deepwater slips, a launch dock for kayaks and canoes, and a fishing pier where the dolphins put on a nightly show.
Under the canopy
5.5 miles of boardwalks and trails
Wind through live-oak hammocks draped in Spanish moss. The pileated woodpecker, our unofficial mascot, may keep you company.
Resort, year-round
Six heated pools, three clubhouses
Plus four lighted tennis courts, pickleball, shuffleboard, basketball, a hot tub, water-exercise classes, and fitness facilities.
Voices from the Cove
“Pelican Cove is a feast for the senses. The people who live here are like family — there is so much support, kindness, and laughter. I never have a minute to be bored or lonely.”
