Pelican Cove is a gated, boater-friendly community tucked along the bay in south Sarasota, where mature landscaping, walking paths, and a harbor of protected slips set the tone. It's a place built around the water and a quiet, connected pace of life — a contrast to the buzz of the Rosemary District or the beach-town energy of Lido Key, yet close enough to enjoy both when you want them.
For buyers, the market here moves quickly and reads mid-market by Sarasota standards. There are 15 active listings with a median list price of $330,000, and homes are going under contract in a median of just 8 days. If you're weighing Pelican Cove against nearby options like Arlington Park or the wider slate of Sarasota homes for sale, the trade-off is straightforward: a gated waterfront lifestyle at a condo-scale price, with an HOA that funds it all.
Pelican Cove is a community in Sarasota, Florida.

Is Pelican Cove a good place to live?+
It's a gated, waterfront community with a boating harbor and quiet, walkable grounds, which appeals to buyers who want a low-maintenance coastal lifestyle.

Compared to much of coastal Sarasota, it's approachable: the median list price is $330,000 and active homes range from $240,000 to $529,800. There are currently no listings above $1M, so this is a mid-market community rather than a luxury enclave.
What do homes cost in Pelican Cove?+

How is the market right now?+
It's active and quick — 15 homes are listed and the median days on market is just 8. Sellers are getting about 93% of asking on average, so well-priced homes move fast and there's modest room to negotiate.
