Pelican Cove is a gated, waterfront community on Sarasota's Little Sarasota Bay, where boat slips, walking paths, and low-slung condos give the place a quiet, resort-like rhythm. It sits within easy reach of the beaches at Lido Key and the galleries and restaurants of the Rosemary District, so you get bayfront calm without giving up the culture of Sarasota.
For buyers, this is one of the more attainable ways into Sarasota's waterfront market. Of the 20 active listings, 8 are waterfront and 19 sit behind the gate, with a median list price of $329,500 and homes moving in about 33 days. The trade-off is condo life: monthly fees are real, and pricing runs on a $/sqft basis rather than lot size, which rewards buyers who look carefully. Neighboring pockets like Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores are worth comparing if you want more space.
Pelican Cove is a community in Sarasota, Florida.

Straight answers
Pelican Cove FAQs
Is Pelican Cove a good place to live?+
It suits buyers who want gated, waterfront condo living with paths, boat access, and a calm bayfront pace. Assigned schools include Gulf Gate Elementary, Brookside Middle, and Riverview High, and you're minutes from the beaches at Lido Key. It's an especially strong fit for seasonal or lock-and-leave owners.
Is Pelican Cove expensive?+
Compared with much of Sarasota's waterfront, it's relatively attainable, with a median list price of $329,500 and active listings ranging from $219,800 to $537,000. There are currently no listings above $1M here, so it skews toward mid-market condo pricing rather than luxury.
What do homes cost in Pelican Cove?+
The median list price is $329,500 and homes trade at about $315 per square foot on a median size of 1,172 square feet. Over the past 12 months, 43 homes sold at a median of $347,500.
How is the market right now?+
It's steady and fairly balanced, with 20 active listings and a median of 33 days on market. Sellers are getting about 93% of asking on average, so there's room to negotiate but not a fire sale.
What about HOA fees and taxes?+
Because Pelican Cove is a condo community, the median HOA runs about $771 per month, which typically covers shared grounds and amenities. Median property tax is around $3,203 per year, and homes rent at a median of roughly $2,000 per month.
