Comprised of three sections each with their own distinct residential styles, the Pelican Harbour & Beach Club surely is one hard act to follow among condo developments in the town of Longboat Key. This property first became a competitive choice among Longboat Key condos for sale in 1973 during which it opened to the market its townhouses at 4234 Gulf of Mexico Drive located at the bayside of the island.
These initial Pelican Harbour condos for sale were launched at a time when the town was starting to create robust demand in Southwest Florida’s real estate market. They were followed soon by the development in 1980 of a five-story condominium and a cluster of villas at the property’s beachfront at 4241 Gulf of Mexico Drive across of the development’s first townhouses.
Pelican Harbour’s bayfront residences consist of some 60 units with floor areas ranging from 1,150 to 1,636 square feet, featuring either two or three bedrooms. The pricing of typical sales listings here start at around the upper $300s and level up to the $600s.
Bayside Pelican Harbour condos for sale are among the most sought-after properties in Longboat Key. Around mid-2015, a townhouse in the condominium’s bayfront was sold after only about a week of its market listing. These units, though of 1970s vintage, are fast sellers as they are very well-maintained and feature many impressive updates.
The same is true for the property’s gulfside residences which are rarely available in listings of Longboat Key condos for sale. Suited as rental units or seasonal vacation homes, the condos in Pelican Harbour’s gulf-front midrise building consist of just nine units which largely appeal to buyers with exclusivity and privacy as weighty factors in their home search.
Including the properties in the building’s nearby villas, recent market activity in these beachfront dwellings revolved around units having floor areas of about 1,800 square feet offered at asking prices starting from the mid-$600s. Pelican Harbour condos for sale in this western side of the complex can also sell pretty quickly, as seen in end-2014 when one unit here landed a contract after just eight days in the market.
Besides the unique options on bay or gulf location in a single complex, Pelican Harbour condos for sale are popular market choices because of the property’s marvelous collection of amenities. Mostly located bayside, these facilities include a newly remodeled clubhouse, boat docks and kayak storage. Buffered by lush landscaping and with ribbons of brick paver walkways, this eastern section of the complex also hosts Pelican Harbour’s community pool and a pair of tennis courts.
These bayside amenities plus the delights of the property’s nearby beach help groom Pelican Harbour condos for sale as rental investment opportunities. Notably, unit owners in this condominium can rent their properties three times a year for a minimum of one month.
In addition, proximity to points of interest in Longboat Key and mainland Sarasota works to the advantage of either maintaining a rental property or vacation home in Pelican Harbour. Located mid-key, this condominium is convenient not only to local tourist attractions but is also close to various venues offering a rich mix of social and cultural activities.
