Edgewater at Pelican Sound is a coach-home neighborhood inside the master-planned community of Pelican Sound in Estero, Florida. It is 114 condominium coach homes in 19 two-story buildings along Pelican Sound Drive, built from 1998 to 2000, governed by four separate condominium associations, and served by three management companies, with a $585,000 median across 11 Southwest Florida MLS closings in the 24 months to September 29, 2026. Every Edgewater owner holds the same bundled membership as every other Pelican Sound owner: 27 holes, six pools, a members-only boat ramp and a river shuttle to Lovers Key, for one 2026 annual club assessment of $11,495. McGreevy and Comisar lead Domain Realty Group, the #1 real estate team in Southwest Florida since 2012 and Top 1% of agents nationally since 2008.

A word on the name, because Edgewater is one of the most common place names in Florida. This page covers the four Edgewater condominiums at Pelican Sound in Estero, Lee County, ZIP 33928. It is not the City of Edgewater in Volusia County on Florida's east coast, and it is not Edgewater at River Ridge Country Club Association, a different association on the state's corporate register that shares only the River Ridge name with the district that serves Pelican Sound. It is also not any of the other Pelican Sound neighborhoods, which are separate condominiums with their own associations and fees.

If you own an Edgewater coach home and are weighing a sale, start with the market snapshot, the floor-by-floor pricing and the seller section, then call Jesse. If you are buying, the sections below show what an Edgewater coach home costs to buy and to carry, which of the four associations a given building belongs to, which records are public, and which ones you must request before you write an offer. Where the public record stops, we say so and name the document that would answer the question.

Recent Edgewater at Pelican Sound track record (last 12 months): In the last 12 months Edgewater at Pelican Sound has seen 7 resales in the Southwest Florida MLS (Matrix, pulled September 29, 2026, closings to that date), at a median of $585,000 (n = 7, small sample), a range of $530,000 to $635,000, $4,080,000 in total volume, a median of 52 days on market and a median sold-to-list ratio of 96.8%. The highest-priced resale in that window was $635,000 for an upper-floor coach home in December 2025, which sold at its full asking price in 4 days.

In the last 12 months we tracked every one of the 7 Edgewater at Pelican Sound closings in the Southwest Florida MLS, and we tracked all 21 closings the MLS has recorded here since April 2022 (19 marketed through the MLS and two entered after closing). We matched each one to the county's recorded deed to learn which floor and which of the four associations it sold in, and each is listed in the market snapshot below by month, price, floor, bedrooms and association only.

For Edgewater at Pelican Sound sellers: premium marketing, including cinematic video, drone, professional photography, a qualified-buyer database, and discretion when a sale needs to stay quiet. At this price rung the marketing has to reach the seasonal buyer who wants a garage, a private entry and the full Pelican Sound bundle for less than a carriage home costs, and the paperwork has to be ready early: the neighborhood association's Application for Approval to Purchase, the neighborhood estoppel, the club estoppel, and the one-time club charge your buyer pays at closing.

For Edgewater at Pelican Sound buyers: the first question is the floor, because over 24 months the upper-floor coach homes closed at a $615,000 median (n = 7) against $551,000 for ground-floor homes (n = 4, the mean of $550,000 and $552,000), both small samples. The second is the carry, because the club assessment is a published $11,495 for 2026 but each of the four Edgewater associations sets its own quarterly dues, and none publishes them. The third is which association you are buying into, because Edgewater I, II, III and IV are separate corporations with separate boards, separate budgets and, today, three different managers.

Living in Edgewater at Pelican Sound as a Homebuyer

Living in Edgewater at Pelican Sound means a two-story coach-home building of six condominium homes, each with its own one-car garage, an association that maintains the building and grounds, and a place inside a gated, bundled community where golf, racquet sports, pools, fitness, dining and Gulf-access boating come with ownership, with no equity deposit and no golf waitlist.

What Is Edgewater at Pelican Sound?

Edgewater at Pelican Sound is one of the twelve marketed neighborhood names inside Pelican Sound and the fourth largest by unit count, at 114 residential parcels on the 2026 Lee County tax roll, all coded as condominium use. Those 114 homes sit in four recorded condominiums: Edgewater at Pelican Sound (36 homes), Edgewater II (18), Edgewater III (30) and Edgewater IV (30). Each condominium has its own association, so Edgewater is one neighborhood on the map and in the MLS, and four corporations on paper.

Twelve Names, Twenty-Two Associations, One Gate

Pelican Sound is 1,299 residences under twelve marketed neighborhood names and 22 neighborhood associations, not 22 neighborhoods. Edgewater alone accounts for four of those 22 associations, more than any other name except Hammock Greens, which also has four. Above all 22 sits one master association and club, Pelican Sound Golf & River Club, Inc., which every owner joins at closing. That two-layer structure is why an Edgewater owner pays both a club assessment and a neighborhood fee, and why two coach homes a few buildings apart can carry different quarterly dues.

The Coach-Home Product

The club's own residence guide groups three neighborhoods as coach homes: Edgewater I to IV, Island Sound I and Southern Hills, all two-story buildings with a one-car garage per home, lower units of about 1,551 square feet and upper units of about 1,669 square feet. Edgewater is the oldest of the three and, at 114 homes against 84 each in Island Sound I and Southern Hills, the largest. Coach homes sit one rung above the community's carport condominiums and one rung below the two-car-garage carriage homes.

Who Buys an Edgewater Coach Home?

The public record supports three uses of the property: a seasonal lock-and-leave base with a garage, a full-time home for a buyer who wants the bundle without a single-family price, and, within the community's leasing rules, a seasonal rental. We read these from the price, size, garage and fee structure of the homes, and we describe the property, not the people who own or rent it. The club reports about 450 of its 1,299 homes are occupied year round.

A Day From an Edgewater Front Door

Every Edgewater address is on Pelican Sound Drive, the community's main residential spine, with the Seaside carriage homes on the same road. From there, the golf clubhouse, the fitness complex, the racquet center and the riverfront River Club are short drives or cart rides inside the gate. Golf runs on three nines that combine into 18-hole rounds; tennis is on eight Hydro-Grid courts; there are 14 pickleball courts and five bocce courts on the club's 2026 Fact Sheet.

What Edgewater at Pelican Sound Does Not Have

Five things buyers sometimes assume. No two-car garage: each coach home has one, per the club's residence guide. No elevator: the buildings are two-story and the club's guide lists elevators only for the four-story condominiums. No new construction: the last Edgewater building dates to 2000, and every sale is a resale. No published neighborhood fee: only the club assessment is published. No guaranteed water or golf view: the name is a marketing name, and we make no view claim for a specific home without the address in hand.

Edgewater at Pelican Sound Market Snapshot: What Coach Homes for Sale Actually Close At

Edgewater at Pelican Sound coach homes closed 11 times in the Southwest Florida MLS in the 24 months to September 29, 2026, at a $585,000 median, $356.13 per square foot of MLS living area and 44 median days on market, the first window that reaches 10 closings. In the last 12 months, 7 closed at a $585,000 median.

Data updated: September 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, pulled September 29, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales through July 29, 2026)

MLS figures use MLS living area; county figures are DOR-qualified recorded sales and are never mixed with MLS square-foot figures. Medians use the mean of the middle pair when n is even. Two of the 21 MLS sales in five years were entered after closing and were not marketed through the MLS; the headline medians below use the 19 marketed sales, and we show the all-sales figure beside them where the two fall in a window. Sold-to-list means sold price over final list price, and days on market and sold-to-list use marketed sales only.

Every Edgewater at Pelican Sound MLS Closing, Last 24 Months

Eleven closings is enough for a median, but a neighborhood of four associations and two floor plans is read sale by sale. Here is each one, by month, price, floor, bedrooms and association only. Floor and association come from matching each sale to its recorded county deed.

The MLS records some Edgewater homes as two bedrooms plus a den and others as three bedrooms; the county roll codes every one of the 114 parcels as three bedrooms. That is the same floor plan described two ways, so we compare sales by floor, not by the bedroom label.

The 12-Month Window Alone

In the last 12 months we tracked 7 closings, from $530,000 to $635,000. Five were upper-floor homes at $540,000 to $635,000 and two were ground-floor homes at $530,000 and $550,000. Volume was $4,080,000. None sold above its final list price, one sold at it, and the mean of the seven sold-to-list ratios was 96.6%. Seven is a small sample, so the $585,000 median describes seven sales, not a forecast.

Upper Floor vs Ground Floor

The Lee County roll records two heated areas in every Edgewater building: 1,406 square feet on the three ground-floor homes and 1,535 square feet on the three upper-floor homes. The club's own guide markets the same two plans at about 1,551 and 1,669 square feet, and the MLS uses figures close to the club's. The sales show the upper floor pricing higher: over 24 months the seven upper-floor sales had a $615,000 median and the four ground-floor sales a $551,000 median (the mean of $550,000 and $552,000). Over 60 months, counting all 21 MLS sales, the twelve upper-floor sales had a $630,750 median (the mean of $629,000 and $632,500) and the nine ground-floor sales a $552,000 median. All four are small samples. Our reading is that the larger upper plan, not the stairs, drives the gap, and some buyers will still pay more for a ground-floor home with no stairs.

The Four Associations in the Sales Record

Over 24 months, Edgewater I recorded 4 of the 11 MLS sales, Edgewater II 3, Edgewater III 2 and Edgewater IV 2. Edgewater I's four ran from $530,000 to $635,000 and Edgewater II's three from $540,000 to $625,000. With two sales each in III and IV, no association-level median means anything yet, and we publish none. What the split does show is that all four associations trade, and that price follows floor and condition more than association.

Longer Windows and Why They Differ

The 36-month median ($592,000 on 14 marketed sales) and the 60-month median ($599,000 on 19) sit above the 24-month figure because they include 2022 to 2024 sales, when Edgewater homes routinely sold at or above list in under two weeks. The 60-month median days on market is 8 and the median sold-to-list is 100.0%; the 12-month figures are 52 days and 96.8%. Read the longer windows as history and the 12-month and 24-month figures as today.

The Price Path, Year by Year

Every year below is a small sample of MLS closings, including the two sales entered after closing in 2024, so treat each median as a description.

YearMLS closingsMedian soldRangeMedian days on market (marketed)Median sold-to-list (marketed)

20231$660,000one sale6101.6%

2026 to September 294$545,000 (mean of $540,000 and $550,000)$530,000 to $615,0006595.3%

The pattern is a fast, above-list market in 2022, a $680,000 high in January 2024, steady 2025 pricing near $600,000, and a slower, softer 2026, when the median days on market rose to 65 and every 2026 sale closed below its final list.

What Is For Sale at Edgewater at Pelican Sound Right Now

On September 29, 2026 the MLS showed one Edgewater active: a ground-floor home described as two bedrooms plus a den and two baths, with 1,406 square feet of MLS living area, listed at $519,000 after 1 day on market. That ask is below every ground-floor Edgewater closing in the last 36 months, which ran from $530,000 to $605,000. One active against 7 closings a year is about 1.7 months of supply at the 12-month pace, a tight number that reflects how few Edgewater homes come to market at once.

Recorded Sales by Year, County Record

The county's qualified recorded sales cover more years than the MLS, including resales that never appeared as MLS closings. This is the long view. County figures are recorded deed prices flagged as qualified arm's-length sales; they are never compared with MLS square-foot figures.

201310$260,500
1998 (first sales)9$275,200

Since September 29, 2025 the county file shows 8 qualified Edgewater sales at a median of $567,500, one more than the MLS shows: an upper-floor home in Edgewater IV recorded in March 2026 at $550,000 that never appeared as an MLS closing. In 2025 the county recorded 10 Edgewater sales against the MLS's 7. The step from 2021 ($385,000) to 2022 ($602,500) is a 56 percent jump in one year; from 2025's $612,000 to 2026's $550,000 is a 10 percent fall. Small counts move medians, so we describe the direction and not a precise rate.

A Public-Record Sale, Walked Through: August 2026

This is a public-record sale handled by other brokerages, and it is the most recent Edgewater closing. A ground-floor coach home in Edgewater I, described in the MLS as two bedrooms plus a den and two baths with 1,551 square feet, closed in August 2026 at $530,000 after 97 days on market, against a final list of $569,000. Four facts stand out. It ties the lowest price in the 36-month MLS record, matched only by a February 2024 ground-floor sale. It closed at 93.1% of list, the weakest ratio in 24 months. It took 97 days, the second longest in 24 months. And it shows the current floor for a ground-floor home: buyers paid $530,000 to $552,000 for ground-floor Edgewater homes in 2025 and 2026, except one April 2025 sale at $599,000.

For the buyer, that sale carried costs the price does not show: a one-time club charge at closing of $20,300 for a first-time Pelican Sound owner, or $11,495 for a returning owner, the $299 club estoppel, the neighborhood association's approval and estoppel fees, and then the $11,495 annual club assessment, about 2.2 percent of that price every year before the neighborhood dues, the River Ridge CDD line, tax and insurance (our arithmetic on the club's 2026 schedule).

How Did Edgewater at Pelican Sound Come to Be?

Edgewater at Pelican Sound began as three Florida not-for-profit associations filed in September 1997 and a fourth filed in July 1999, all organized for WCI Communities, the developer of Pelican Sound. Its four condominiums were recorded with the state from October 1998 to August 2000, and the county roll dates its 19 buildings from 1998 to 2000.

Three Associations in September 1997

The Florida Division of Corporations lists Edgewater at Pelican Sound Condominium Association, Inc. (document N97000005323) as filed on September 18, 1997, and Edgewater II at Pelican Sound Condominium Association, Inc. (N97000005476) and Edgewater III at Pelican Sound Condominium Association, Inc. (N97000005474) as filed on September 25, 1997. The September 1997 filing package on the state's record bundles the articles for Edgewater II and III with those for Seaside II and Hammock Greens II, III and IV, sent by the developer's counsel with a copy to WCI Communities. All three Edgewater associations are active and filed 2026 annual reports.

Edgewater IV, July 1999

Edgewater IV at Pelican Sound Condominium Association, Inc. carries Florida document number N99000004121, filed July 8, 1999, and is active, with its latest annual report filed February 15, 2026. Its original articles of incorporation give its principal address in care of WCI Communities, Inc. on Walden Center Drive in Bonita Springs, and they describe its purpose as operating "Edgewater IV at Pelican Sound, a Condominium, located in Lee County, Florida." It is the only Edgewater association filed after 1997, which fits the order in which the buildings were built.

A 2026 Name Change for Edgewater I

The state's record shows a name-change amendment filed April 29, 2026 for the first association, which now appears as Edgewater I at Pelican Sound Condominium Association, Inc. The document number did not change. Buyers and title companies will see both names in the record: the original name on older instruments and the new name on anything filed after April 2026.

Four Condominiums Recorded, 1998 to 2000

The Division of Condominiums register lists four Edgewater projects, each approved and recorded: Edgewater at Pelican Sound, a Condo, 36 units, recorded October 22, 1998; Edgewater II, 18 units, September 10, 1999; Edgewater III, 30 units, June 1, 2000; and Edgewater IV, 30 units, August 11, 2000. The 36, 18, 30 and 30 match the county roll building by building and sum to the 114 homes on the club's own residence guide. October 22, 1998 is also the recording date the register gives for the first Hammock Greens and Seaside condominiums, which makes Edgewater I one of the three earliest condominiums recorded in Pelican Sound.

The Recorded Declarations

The county roll's legal descriptions cite each declaration by its Lee County Official Records book and page: Edgewater at Pelican Sound in Book 3036, Page 1472; Edgewater II in Book 3166, Page 1791; Edgewater III in Book 3262, Page 225; and Edgewater IV in Book 3290, Page 4720. The common-element parcel for the first three condominiums also cites Book 3272, Page 4651. We have not read these instruments page by page, and we do not paraphrase their clauses; they are what a buyer's title agent and attorney should read for use, leasing, pet and approval rules.

Built 1998 to 2000

The county roll dates Edgewater's 19 buildings in three waves: three buildings in 1998, six in 1999 and ten in 2000, for a median year built of 2000. The 1998 and 1999 buildings belong to Edgewater I and II, and every building in Edgewater III and IV dates to 2000. Every home was built by WCI Communities, the community's single builder. WCI's 2002 prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission described Pelican Sound as located on approximately 549 acres and offering 1,299 single- and multi-family residences priced from $118,000 to $515,000.

The Master Association and the Club

Edgewater owners are members of two bodies. One is their own condominium association. The other is Pelican Sound Golf & River Club, Inc., the master association and club, which opened its golf course in May 1998 from a temporary clubhouse, opened the River Club restaurant in September 1999 and the main clubhouse on New Year's Eve 1999, and passed to a member-elected board in January 2003. Edgewater's first buildings were therefore going up in the same year the course opened.

The Homes: What Is an Edgewater at Pelican Sound Coach Home Like?

An Edgewater at Pelican Sound coach home is a condominium home in a two-story building of six, three on the ground floor and three above, with its own one-car garage. The county roll records 1,406 heated square feet downstairs and 1,535 upstairs; the club markets the same plans at about 1,551 and 1,669 square feet.

Nineteen Buildings of Six

The county roll lists 19 Edgewater buildings, each holding three ground-floor and three upper-floor homes, for 57 of each across the neighborhood. Edgewater I has six buildings, Edgewater II three, Edgewater III five and Edgewater IV five. Every building carries a Pelican Sound Drive address.

Size and Layout

The roll shows 1,406 heated square feet on every ground-floor parcel and 1,535 on every upper-floor parcel, and three bedrooms on all 114. The club's residence guide gives about 1,551 square feet for lower units and 1,669 for upper units, and MLS listings use figures near the club's. The difference between the county and club figures is a difference in what each measures, and it is the same in Southern Hills, which carries identical roll figures. The MLS describes the plan as either two bedrooms plus a den or three bedrooms, with two baths.

Garages, Stairs and Entries

The club's guide describes every coach-home building as two stories with a one-car garage per home. It lists elevators only for its four-story condominium buildings, so an upper-floor Edgewater buyer should expect stairs. Exactly how entries, garages and the stair are arranged in each building is set by the recorded plans, and we describe nothing we have not read.

What the Roll Says About Condition

Year built is the county's only condition proxy, and it is a blunt one. A 1998 to 2000 coach home has a roof, windows, air conditioning, plumbing and electrical systems that are 26 to 28 years old unless replaced. The association carries the roofs and exteriors, so a buyer should ask which have been replaced and when, and read the Village of Estero's permit record for the unit's own interior work.

What Amenities Come With an Edgewater at Pelican Sound Home?

An Edgewater at Pelican Sound home comes with the full Pelican Sound membership through the club's annual assessment: 27 holes of golf, eight Hydro-Grid tennis courts, 14 pickleball courts, five bocce courts, a fitness center, six pools and six spas, four dining venues, a members-only boat ramp, outdoor boat storage and a boat shuttle to Lovers Key State Park.

One Membership Class, Every Home

The club's 2026 Fact Sheet describes Pelican Sound as a private, bundled community of 1,299 units with one membership type, "Access to all amenities." Membership is a family membership, it depends on owning a residence, and it ends when the home is sold. An Edgewater coach home therefore carries exactly the same club access as an estate home on Pinehurst, which is the core of the value case for Edgewater.

Golf

The course is 27 holes, played as three nines combined into 18-hole rounds, and it opened in May 1998. Members and approved lessees book tee times 10 days ahead, and registered houseguests 2 days ahead. Members pay cart and trail fees on top of the assessment: the 2026 schedule lists $29.35 plus tax for an 18-hole member cart fee, $2,272 plus tax for an annual private cart trail fee and $2,880 plus tax for an annual cart lease.

Racquet, Fitness and Pools

The Fact Sheet lists eight Hydro-Grid tennis courts, 14 pickleball courts, five bocce courts, a fitness center, an outdoor fitness park, a dog park, a playground, a half court for basketball and two horseshoe pits, plus six pools, six spas, a kiddie pool and three fire pits. Which neighborhood pool sits closest to a given Edgewater building is shown only on the club's image map, so we make no pool-adjacency claim without an address.

Dining

Four venues are named on the Fact Sheet: The Vista at the Clubhouse, the Pavilion, the Pelican Pub and the River Club. The club's Q and A states there is currently no food and beverage minimum, and that a 20 percent gratuity and 6.5 percent Florida sales tax are added to food and beverage.

Boating and the Lovers Key Shuttle

The membership includes a boat launch ramp, outdoor boat storage at $625 a year plus tax, canoe and kayak storage at $155 a year plus tax, complimentary canoes and kayaks, and a boat shuttle to Lovers Key State Park. Pelican Sound sits on the Estero River, which the state's paddling trail guide follows downstream to Estero Bay.

What Is Not Included

The assessment does not include the Edgewater association's own quarterly dues, cart and trail fees, boat storage, guest fees, lessons, food and beverage, or the River Ridge CDD line on the county tax bill. There is no equity membership to buy and no golf waitlist.

What Are the HOA and Condo Fees at Edgewater at Pelican Sound?

Edgewater at Pelican Sound owners pay two sets of dues: the Pelican Sound club's annual assessment of $11,495 for 2026, billed on the November statement, and the quarterly dues of whichever of the four Edgewater associations their building belongs to, which none of the four publishes. The River Ridge CDD adds about $1,209 a year on the tax bill.

The Club Assessment

The 2026 Fact Sheet lists an annual assessment of $11,495 for every owner, effective January 1, 2026. The club's Q and A says it is billed on the November statement and that it has three parts: amenities, property management and replacement reserves. The property-management part covers cable television and fiber-optic internet for all homes, common-area maintenance and landscaping, security, pool maintenance and utilities.

The Neighborhood Dues

The club's membership page says all neighborhoods have a quarterly association fee that covers costs specific to that neighborhood, and its Q and A says those dues vary by neighborhood and are billed by the neighborhood association. For Edgewater that means four budgets. The club directs buyers to the managers for "quarterly condo fees" and budget information: Cambridge Management for Edgewater I and II, Compass Rose for Edgewater III, and KPG Accounting for Edgewater IV.

What a Condominium Fee Usually Buys

In a Florida condominium the association fee usually funds the building insurance, roof and exterior upkeep, building grounds, and reserves for the roof, painting and paving. Edgewater's buildings also carry their own common elements, recorded as a combined common-element parcel for Edgewater I, II and III and a separate one for Edgewater IV. The current budget for the specific association is the document that states what its fee covers.

The River Ridge CDD

Pelican Sound sits inside the River Ridge Community Development District, a Chapter 190 special district that maintains lakes, preserves, stormwater, irrigation supply and lighting. Its fiscal 2026 adopted budget lists a General Fund assessment of $177.21 per unit and a Pelican Sound program assessment of $1,031.71 per unit, for 1,299 Pelican Sound units, or about $1,209 per Edgewater home a year on the Lee County tax bill.

Where the Numbers Sit

At the 24-month median of $585,000, the club assessment alone is about 2.0 percent of the price a year and the CDD line about 0.2 percent. The Edgewater association's dues sit on top. We do not publish an all-in monthly figure for Edgewater because no association publishes its fee, and the estoppel and current budget are the documents that state it.

Edgewater at Pelican Sound's Layered Fees: Club, Association, One-Time and Tax

Edgewater at Pelican Sound buyers pay layered costs: the $11,495 club assessment, the association's quarterly dues, a one-time club charge at closing of $20,300 for a first-time Pelican Sound owner or $11,495 for a returning owner, the club's $299 estoppel, the association's application and estoppel fees, the CDD line, property tax and insurance.

Layer 1: The Club

The 2026 Fact Sheet lists the $11,495 annual assessment, a $20,300 initiation fee at closing for first-time owners, an $11,495 resale capital fee at closing for owners who own or previously owned in Pelican Sound, and a $299 estoppel fee at closing. The club's Q and A explains that the per-sale capital amount equals that year's annual assessment and funds the Capital Resale Reserve, which pays for new projects.

Layer 2: The Edgewater Association

Not public. The club's membership page lists, as paid to the neighborhood association by the buyer, the Application for Approval to Purchase fee and the neighborhood estoppel fee. The Edgewater association's estoppel is the document that states its current dues, any special assessment and any amount owed on the unit.

Layer 3: Who Pays What at Closing

The club's own closing-cost list puts the resale capital fee or initiation fee, the club estoppel fee and any unpaid portion of the annual assessment on the buyer, and outstanding club charges on the seller. It adds that prorated assessment and condo fees may be reimbursed to the previous owner. Lee County custom has the seller pay estoppel fees in many sales, so the purchase contract controls.

Layer 4: The CDD, Property Tax and Insurance

The River Ridge CDD line of about $1,209 appears on the county tax bill as a non-ad-valorem assessment. Lee County property tax depends on the assessed value, exemptions and millage, and a buyer's first bill can differ from the seller's when the assessment resets. Insurance for the unit is an HO-6 policy on contents, interior and loss assessment; the association's master policy covers the building.

Optional Club Charges

The 2026 schedule lists optional charges a buyer may choose: cart and trail fees, boat storage at $625 a year, canoe or kayak storage at $155 a year, guest golf fees, lessons and fitness classes. None is required to own an Edgewater home.

What the Stack Looks Like for a Buyer

At a $585,000 price, cash at closing beyond the price and any lender costs includes $20,300 for a first-time owner or $11,495 for a returning owner, plus the $299 club estoppel and the association's application and estoppel fees, then about $11,495 a year to the club plus the association's dues and about $1,209 a year on the tax bill. We do not add these into one all-in figure because the association dues are unpublished.

The Edgewater at Pelican Sound Declarations, Covenants and Rules

Four recorded declarations of condominium govern Edgewater at Pelican Sound, one for each of Edgewater I, II, III and IV, together with each association's articles, bylaws and rules; the master Declaration for Pelican Sound Golf and River Club and the club's rules sit above all four. The recorded instruments are public at the Lee County Clerk.

The Four Declarations

The declarations are recorded in Lee County Official Records Book 3036, Page 1472 (Edgewater at Pelican Sound); Book 3166, Page 1791 (Edgewater II); Book 3262, Page 225 (Edgewater III); and Book 3290, Page 4720 (Edgewater IV). We have not read them page by page and do not paraphrase their clauses. Before an offer, request the declaration for the specific condominium and read the use restrictions, the leasing article, the pet rule and the amendment history.

What the Articles Say

Edgewater IV's 1999 articles, on the state's record, give the association power to approve or disapprove the transfer of ownership, leasing and occupancy of units "as provided by the Declaration of Condominium," to enter agreements for club memberships and recreational facilities, and to participate in mergers or consolidations with other condominiums in Pelican Sound. They set a board of not less than three directors and one vote per unit. The other three associations' current articles are on the same state register.

Approval of Sales

The club's membership and real estate pages say an Application for Approval to Purchase must be completed and returned to the neighborhood association before closing, and the 2026 Fact Sheet says all club members must have a certificate of approval from their neighborhood association. For an Edgewater buyer that means the association's approval is a closing step, not a formality, and its timing belongs in the contract.

The Master Declaration and Architectural Review

The 2026 Fact Sheet cites the master Declaration's Article XIII, Section 13.13 for leasing and requires that there be no outstanding violations of the Architectural Review Committee Guidelines and Procedures before an owner leases. Exterior changes, from windows and shutters to paint and landscaping, run through the club's architectural review and the Village of Estero's permit process.

Single-Family Residence Use

The club's Q and A states that a home may only be used as a private single-family residence. That answers whether an Edgewater home can host a business with client traffic: the master rule says no, and the Edgewater declaration may say more.

Is Edgewater at Pelican Sound a 55+ Community?

Edgewater at Pelican Sound is not a 55-plus community. Pelican Sound is all-ages: the club's family membership covers a member's unmarried dependent children aged 24 and under, and no housing-for-older-persons declaration is part of the public record we found for Edgewater or the master. We describe the property, not who may live in it.

The Lessee Age Rule Is Not an Occupancy Rule

The 2026 Fact Sheet requires that the person who signs a lease and the primary occupant be at least 25 years of age, and it states plainly that this is not a restriction on the age of occupants. That is a leasing rule, not a 55-plus rule.

What "All Ages" Means Here

Federal fair housing law lets qualifying communities restrict occupancy to those 55 and older, and communities that do so must meet specific requirements. Pelican Sound does not claim that status, and a buyer of any age can buy in Edgewater, subject to the association's approval and rules.

Can You Rent Out an Edgewater at Pelican Sound Coach Home?

Renting out an Edgewater at Pelican Sound coach home is allowed within the club's rules: a 30-day minimum lease, a lease signer and primary occupant at least 25, Edgewater association approval, no lessee pets, and an application filed 20 business days ahead. The Edgewater declaration can set a longer minimum, so read it first.

What the Club Requires

The Fact Sheet requires a minimum 30-day lease in compliance with the master Declaration and any neighborhood documents; current club accounts and association dues; approval by the neighborhood association; no animals for lessees other than a bona fide service animal; and the Application to Lease returned 20 business days before the lease starts. The club's Q and A adds that a few associations require a lease of at least 60 days, without naming them.

The Fees

The 2026 schedule lists $260 for an Application for Approval to Lease, $465 plus tax for a Transfer of Amenities to the lessee, $155 for an annual lease renewal, and change and late fees. During the lease the owner surrenders amenity privileges except dining, and approved lessees get member numbers and photo ID cards.

Short-Term and Vacation Rentals

A stay shorter than 30 days is not a permitted lease under the club's rules, so nightly and weekly rentals are out. Houseguests who stay unaccompanied are a separate category: a member may register them for up to two weeks, six times a year in Edgewater, and they may not pay to stay.

A Landlord's Checklist

Before an offer, a landlord should read the Edgewater declaration's leasing article for its minimum term and frequency, ask the association for its application and fee, confirm the club's $260 application and $465 transfer fees, and plan on a tenant without pets.

Pet Rules at Edgewater at Pelican Sound

Pet rules at Edgewater at Pelican Sound are set first by the Edgewater association's declaration and rules, which are not published, and then by the club's rules, which bar pets for lessees and registered houseguests. Pelican Sound has a dog park, but owner limits on number, size or breed must come from the association in writing.

What the Club Rules Say

The Fact Sheet says lessees may not bring an animal to the unit or onto club property unless it is a bona fide service animal, and that registered houseguests are not allowed to bring pets. The club lists a dog park among its amenities.

What We Cannot Say

We cannot state the Edgewater associations' pet limits and do not publish a blanket rule. Assistance animals for a person with a disability are handled under federal fair housing rules, which apply to condominiums regardless of an association's pet policy, per the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

How to Get the Answer

Ask the manager for the specific Edgewater association for its pet rule in writing before you go under contract, and read the pet clause in that condominium's declaration.

Milestone Inspections, Structural Reserve Studies and Florida Condo Law at Edgewater at Pelican Sound

Florida's milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study rules apply to condominium buildings of three or more habitable stories, and the club's own residence guide describes every Edgewater at Pelican Sound building as two stories. On that description the two mandates do not reach Edgewater, but ordinary condominium reserve, insurance and disclosure rules still do.

What the Laws Say

Senate Bill 4-D, passed in 2022 after the Surfside collapse, created statewide milestone inspections and structural integrity reserve studies for condominium buildings three or more habitable stories tall, and later bills, including House Bill 913 in 2025, refined them. Section 553.899 sets the milestone rule and Section 718.112 the reserve study. The Division of Condominiums publishes guidance and a reporting database for both.

How It Applies to Edgewater

A two-story Edgewater building sits below the three-story threshold. That is a reading of the statutes against the club's published building description, not a statement about any association's records, and a buyer should ask the specific Edgewater association to confirm in writing that neither a milestone inspection nor a structural integrity reserve study applies to its buildings.

Reserves Still Apply

Even where the three-story test is not met, Section 718.112 requires a condominium association to budget reserves for roof replacement, building painting, pavement and other capital items unless the unit owners have properly waived or reduced them. Edgewater's roofs date to the 1998 to 2000 construction unless replaced, so the reserve schedule in the current budget is the buyer's best view of how ready an association is for its next roof.

The State Register Shows a Status, Not a Verdict

The Division of Condominiums register lists all four Edgewater projects as approved, with a secondary status of recorded. That is the registration status of the declaration and the annual filing. It is not a finding about the buildings' condition.

What an Edgewater Buyer Is Entitled to Receive

Section 718.503 requires a resale seller of a condominium unit to give the buyer the declaration, articles, bylaws, rules, the most recent financial information and related disclosures, and Section 718.116(8) governs the estoppel certificate, its contents and its fee cap. Buyers should have those documents, and any reserve schedule, before the inspection period ends.

Hurricanes, Flood Zone and Insurance at Edgewater at Pelican Sound

At four points we geocoded along the Pelican Sound Drive address range of Edgewater at Pelican Sound, the FEMA flood map shows Zone X outside the special flood hazard area, on panel 12071C0587G effective November 17, 2022. The same points fall in Lee County's Evacuation Zone A, the county's first surge zone. Both are map readings, not surveys.

The Flood Map

FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer returns Zone X at all four points: an area of minimal flood hazard at three of them and the 0.2 percent annual chance flood hazard at the northern end of the address range. The special flood hazard area flag is false at every point, and a box of about half a mile by a quarter mile around the four points returned only Zone X polygons, with no AE polygon. Riverfront parts of Pelican Sound, such as Island Sound, map differently, and the community hub covers them.

The Evacuation Zone Is a Different Map

Lee County's evacuation zones are drawn from storm surge, not from the flood insurance map, and the county's own layer places all four Edgewater points in Evacuation Zone A. In practice that means Edgewater can be ordered to evacuate early in a surge event even though its flood insurance zone is X. Buyers should treat the two maps as separate questions.

What Zone X Means for a Loan

A federally backed mortgage requires flood insurance in a special flood hazard area, which means zones beginning with A or V. Zone X is outside it, so a lender does not require flood insurance on the map alone, though any lender or insurer may require or recommend it and any owner can buy it through the National Flood Insurance Program. The Village of Estero holds a Class 6 rating in FEMA's Community Rating System, worth a 20 percent discount on NFIP premiums in its program.

Hurricane Ian and Milton

Hurricane Ian made landfall on September 28, 2022 near Cayo Costa as a Category 4 hurricane, and the National Hurricane Center's report places its worst surge on the Lee County coast and islands. Hurricane Milton made landfall near Siesta Key in October 2024, north of Lee County. We hold no Edgewater-specific damage record and do not say the neighborhood was undamaged; the association's records and the Village's permit history are where repairs would appear.

The Master Policy, the HO-6 and Loss Assessment

The association's master policy covers the building, and each owner carries an HO-6 policy for contents, interior finishes and loss assessment. Section 718.111 governs association insurance and Section 627.714 the unit owner's loss assessment coverage. Ask for the master policy summary, the hurricane deductible and the roof age, and ask your agent about a wind mitigation inspection on the state's uniform form, since Section 627.711 requires insurers to offer mitigation discounts.

Florida's Flood Disclosure

Section 689.302 requires a seller of residential property to give the buyer a flood disclosure at or before the time the contract is signed, stating whether the seller knows of flooding that damaged the property during the seller's ownership, has filed a flood claim, including with the National Flood Insurance Program, or has received flood assistance, including from FEMA. An Edgewater seller should prepare it with the listing.

Which Schools Serve Edgewater at Pelican Sound?

Edgewater at Pelican Sound is in Lee County's South choice zone, and the public schools the Village of Estero lists for Estero are Pinewoods Elementary, Three Oaks Middle School and Estero High School. Lee County assigns by choice and proximity, not a fixed boundary, so confirm current options with the district.

The Three Public Schools

The Village of Estero's schools page lists Pinewoods Elementary for kindergarten through fifth grade at 11900 Stoneybrook Golf Drive, Three Oaks Middle School for sixth through eighth at 18500 Three Oaks Parkway, and Estero High School for ninth through twelfth at 21900 River Ranch Road.

How Lee County Assigns

Lee County divides its school choice system into East, South and West zones. Families rank schools within the options open to their address, and assignment depends on preference, proximity and seats available. The district's zone pages are the place to confirm current options for a specific Edgewater address.

Higher Education

Florida Gulf Coast University, a public university, sits on Estero's northeast side, a short drive from Pelican Sound.

County Permits and Recorded Work at Edgewater at Pelican Sound

The Village of Estero's Community Development Department issues building permits within the Village, so permit history for an Edgewater at Pelican Sound coach home sits with the Village, and recorded instruments sit with the Lee County Clerk. We have not searched either for a specific unit, and a buyer should before writing an offer.

Who Issues Permits

The Village's permits page directs new construction, remodeling and signage questions to Community Development at 9401 Corkscrew Palms Circle, with a building and zoning permit line at 239.221.5036. Village incorporation at the end of 2014 moved that work from Lee County to the Village.

What to Look For

For a 1998 to 2000 coach home, the useful permit questions are the air-conditioning system, the water heater, the electrical panel, any window or door replacement, and any interior remodel. Roofs and exteriors are the association's work and appear in its records. A permit with a final inspection is evidence; an unpermitted change is a question for the seller.

What We Did Not Read

We did not read a permit list for any Edgewater address, the four recorded declarations or their amendments, or any association's minutes. Those are the documents that would show a special assessment, a roof project or a rule change, and we request them on every purchase.

What Is Being Built Near Edgewater at Pelican Sound?

Near Edgewater at Pelican Sound, the largest public project is the Village of Estero's 62.5-acre riverfront preserve at the northeast corner of Corkscrew Road and US-41, and the community's own zoning was amended in 2022 for pickleball and in 2025 for permanent shuttle-boat moorings. Pelican Sound itself is built out, so nothing new is being built inside the gate.

Estero RiverPark

The Village's Estero RiverPark page says it bought about 62.5 acres at the northeast corner of Corkscrew Road and US-41 in January 2019, at residents' request, to preserve natural landscapes and add recreation. That puts a public park and preserve, not new housing, near Pelican Sound's front corner.

Pelican Sound's Own Zoning

Village of Estero Ordinance 2022-15 amended the Pelican Sound residential planned development to allow pickleball in the golf maintenance and storage area under noise conditions, and recites a community of about 561.8 acres, of which 172.40 acres are residential and 95.45 acres preserve. A 2025 amendment made the River Club's two shuttle-boat moorings permanent.

The Estero River Channel

Pelican Sound's Gulf route runs down the Estero River, and a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers public notice seeks authorization to maintenance dredge shoaled reaches of the river over 4.7 miles from Estero Bay to the US-41 bridge, to improve navigability. Channel depth matters to boaters who use the club's ramp.

Daily Logistics at Edgewater at Pelican Sound

Daily life at Edgewater at Pelican Sound runs through Pelican Sound's staffed gate, the club's accounting office for gate access and leasing, and the Edgewater association's manager for anything about the building, its parking area or its grounds. Coconut Point, a 24-hour emergency department, I-75 and the beaches are each a short drive away.

Getting In: the Gate and Guests

Pelican Sound is gated. The Fact Sheet says members must add guests to their gate guest list and that guests are not admitted otherwise; unaccompanied houseguests must be registered five business days ahead at $100 plus tax per registration, for up to two weeks, six times a year in Edgewater.

Who to Call About What

The club's Q and A sends smart passes, gate access and leasing questions to its accounting office, and common-area landscape, irrigation and pool questions to its assistant general manager. For "your building or its immediate surroundings, including parking lots and irrigation," it sends owners to their association's management company.

Bulk Internet and Cable

The club assessment covers cable television and fiber-optic internet for all homes, per the club's Q and A, so an Edgewater owner does not buy a separate basic cable and internet package.

Edgewater and the Other Coach Homes

Edgewater, Island Sound I and Southern Hills are the three coach-home names, and all three share the club's 1,551 and 1,669 square foot plans. Edgewater is the oldest and the largest. Southern Hills is its closest match, compared head to head in the next section.

Edgewater and Seaside, Its Pelican Sound Drive Neighbor

The Seaside carriage homes share Pelican Sound Drive with Edgewater, and the first Seaside and Edgewater condominiums were recorded with the state on the same day, October 22, 1998. Seaside is the step up: two-car garages and plans of about 1,759 and 2,170 square feet, with one 12-month sale at $970,000.

Edgewater and the Entry Condominiums

Hammock Greens, Turnberry and Island Sound II are the community's carport condominiums at 1,250 to 1,560 square feet, with 12-month medians of $357,000 to $470,000 where the roster gives one. The coach-home premium buys a private garage and larger plans, and Edgewater's $585,000 12-month median sits $115,000 above Turnberry's.

Where the Two Differ Most

Price, for the same product. Over the same 36 months Edgewater closed 14 times at a $592,000 median and Southern Hills 14 times at $567,500, a gap of $24,500 or about 4 percent, for homes the county roll measures identically. Edgewater also sold faster (18.5 median days against 27.5) and nearer to list (97.6 percent against 96.5). Our reading is that Edgewater's larger neighborhood and its share of upper-floor sales account for part of the gap; neither is a guarantee for a specific home.

Governance

Southern Hills is one condominium with one association and one manager. Edgewater is four condominiums with four associations and, per the club's 2026 Fact Sheet, three managers. For an owner that means Edgewater's dues, rules and reserves vary by building group, so a buyer comparing two Edgewater homes must compare two associations, not one.

Who Should Choose Which?

Choose Edgewater at Pelican Sound if you want the most frequently traded coach-home name in Pelican Sound, a Pelican Sound Drive address and the deeper resale record. Choose Southern Hills if a single association, the 2001 build year and a lower median price matter more. The club membership, the assessment and the gate are identical in both. McGreevy and Comisar are Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, and we show both on one morning.

Honest Pros and Cons of Owning at Edgewater at Pelican Sound

Edgewater at Pelican Sound's strengths are the full Pelican Sound bundle with a private garage at a mid-ladder price, the deepest coach-home resale record in the community, and a Zone X flood reading; its weaknesses are four associations with unpublished dues, a softer 2026, Evacuation Zone A, and 1998 to 2000 roofs to verify.

The Pros

  1. Full membership, no equity deposit. Golf, racquet, pools, dining and boating come with ownership, per the club.
  2. A private one-car garage in every coach home, which the carport condominiums lack.
  3. The deepest coach-home resale record. 11 MLS closings in 24 months, more than Southern Hills' 9.
  4. Two floor plans with a clear price step. Upper floor $615,000 median, ground floor $551,000, over 24 months (small samples).
  5. Mapped outside the special flood hazard area at four test points.
  6. Two-story buildings, below the three-story threshold for the milestone and reserve-study mandates on the club's description.
  7. No age restriction. All ages, not 55-plus.
  8. Bulk cable and fiber internet inside the club assessment.
  9. Close to Coconut Point and a 24-hour emergency department.

The Cons

  1. Four associations, none with published dues. Only the estoppel states the fee.
  2. A softer 2026. The 2026 MLS median is $545,000 on 4 sales, with a median 65 days on market.
  3. Evacuation Zone A. Surge evacuation can come early despite the Zone X flood map.
  4. Older buildings. 1998 to 2000 construction, with roofs and systems that may be original.
  5. A large one-time club charge. $20,300 at closing for a first-time Pelican Sound owner.
  6. Stairs to the upper floor, with no elevator listed for coach homes.
  7. Leasing limits. 30-day minimum, lessees 25 and older, no lessee pets.
  8. A recent manager change on the record for Edgewater IV that a buyer must confirm.
  9. The $11,495 club assessment runs about 2.0 percent of the median price every year before association dues.

If you're searching for a Edgewater at Pelican Sound listing agent, or thinking, 'I need someone to sell my Edgewater at Pelican Sound home...' you are selling a garage coach home where one listing stood against 7 closings a year on September 29, 2026, and where floor, association and opening price decide the result.

Selling at Edgewater at Pelican Sound Is Different in Six Ways

  • Your buyer needs the association's approval. The club's pages require an Application for Approval to Purchase to the neighborhood association before closing, and a certificate of approval for membership. Start it the day the contract is signed.
  • Know your association. Edgewater I and II use Cambridge Management, III uses Compass Rose and IV is listed by the club with KPG Accounting, while the state record shows Edgewater IV in care of NextGen Community Management since March 2024. Confirm the right office before the estoppel request goes out.
  • Your buyer's one-time charge. A first-time Pelican Sound buyer pays a $20,300 initiation fee at closing and a returning owner $11,495; price knowing the buyer brings that cash.
  • Floor drives price. Over 24 months upper-floor homes closed at a $615,000 median and ground-floor homes at $551,000 (small samples), so comparable sales must match the floor.
  • List the right square footage. The county roll and the club measure the same plans differently, 1,406 or 1,535 against about 1,551 or 1,669; say which you are using.
  • 2026 is slower. The four 2026 closings took a median 65 days and all closed below list, so the opening price matters more than it did in 2022.

Is now a good time to sell an Edgewater at Pelican Sound coach home?

For a home priced to the recent closings, the market is workable: one active against 7 closings a year is about 1.7 months of supply. But 2026 has been slower than 2025, with a median 65 days on market against 8, so a 2022-style ask will wait.

How do I price an Edgewater at Pelican Sound coach home?

Against Edgewater's own recent sales on the same floor. Over 24 months, seven upper-floor homes closed at $540,000 to $635,000 and four ground-floor homes at $530,000 to $599,000.

How long will an Edgewater at Pelican Sound home take to sell?

The 24-month median is 44 days and the 12-month median is 52, with a range of 3 to 125 days over 24 months. Five of the 11 sold in 16 days or fewer.

Do I need the association's approval to sell?

Your buyer does. The club's pages say an Application for Approval to Purchase must be returned to the neighborhood association before closing, and Edgewater IV's articles give the association power to approve or disapprove transfers as the declaration provides.

Can I sell my Edgewater at Pelican Sound home with a tenant in it?

Generally yes, subject to the lease. Leases there run at least 30 days and were approved by the association, so the buyer takes the lease and the closing should match its end. Confirm the club's amenity transfer for the tenant.

Frequently Asked Questions: Edgewater at Pelican Sound Seller Edition

These are the questions sellers ask most about selling an Edgewater at Pelican Sound coach home in Estero, answered from the recent closings and the public record. Each answer names Edgewater at Pelican Sound. For a number on your home, use the free home valuation or call Jesse at (239) 898-6072.

What is my Edgewater at Pelican Sound coach home worth?

Start from your floor: over 24 months upper-floor homes closed at a $615,000 median (n = 7) and ground-floor homes at $551,000 (n = 4). Adjust for condition, updates and asking history. For a number on your home, use the free home valuation.

What have Edgewater at Pelican Sound homes sold for recently?

In 2026 to September 29, four closed in the MLS: $530,000, $540,000, $550,000 and $615,000. The county also recorded an Edgewater IV upper-floor sale at $550,000 in March 2026 that never appeared as an MLS closing.

Are online value estimates accurate for Edgewater at Pelican Sound?

Not reliably. With 7 to 11 sales a year across two floors and four associations, one sale moves an automated estimate, and the estimate cannot see the floor, condition or association. A floor-matched sale comparison is better.

Does the upper floor add value at Edgewater at Pelican Sound?

In the record so far, yes: about $64,000 at the 24-month median, $615,000 against $551,000, on small samples. Some buyers still prefer the ground floor for no stairs, so we price each home against its own floor.

Does it matter which Edgewater association my home is in?

For price, the record shows floor and condition matter more than association. For the sale process it matters a lot: each association has its own approval, estoppel, dues and manager.

Does a renovation add value to an Edgewater at Pelican Sound home?

The MLS does not tag renovation consistently, so we cannot measure it here. Our reading is that condition explains part of the spread between upper-floor homes that closed at $540,000 and $635,000 within a year.

How does my county sale history relate to what I can sell for?

The county's qualified sales show a $385,000 median in 2021, $602,500 in 2022, $612,000 in 2025 and $550,000 in 2026. A price paid in 2022 to 2025 may sit near or above today's market; current closings set the ask.

How long will my Edgewater at Pelican Sound home take to sell?

The 24-month median is 44 days and the 12-month median 52, with a range of 3 to 125 days. The 2026 closings took a median of 65 days, so plan for a longer market time than in 2022.

How many Edgewater at Pelican Sound homes are for sale?

One on September 29, 2026, a ground-floor home at $519,000. Against 7 closings a year that is about 1.7 months of supply.

When is the best time to list an Edgewater at Pelican Sound coach home?

Before and during season reaches the seasonal buyers who drive Pelican Sound. Of the 11 Edgewater MLS closings in 24 months, six closed in March or April, three from October to December, one in June and one in August.

Who is the best realtor to sell an Edgewater at Pelican Sound coach home?

McGreevy and Comisar are Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008 and lead the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012. We price an Edgewater home from its own floor's closings, which is why this page lists every one.

How will my Edgewater at Pelican Sound home be marketed?

With professional photography, video and drone where it helps, a qualified-buyer database, and marketing that names the garage, the floor plan and the full Pelican Sound membership, because that is what an Edgewater buyer is buying.

Can I hold an open house at Edgewater at Pelican Sound?

Pelican Sound is gated and admits guests only from a member's gate list, so open houses and showings run through the gate's procedure. We handle it with the club.

Can I sell my Edgewater at Pelican Sound home without a realtor?

You can, but you would handle the floor-matched pricing, the association approval, two estoppels, the club's closing charges and the contract yourself. A pricing conversation with us first costs nothing.

Does my buyer need association approval at Edgewater at Pelican Sound?

Yes. The club's pages require an Application for Approval to Purchase to the neighborhood association before closing, and the Fact Sheet requires a certificate of approval from the neighborhood association for club membership.

What documents must I give an Edgewater at Pelican Sound buyer?

The declaration, articles, bylaws, rules, the most recent financial information and related disclosures required by Section 718.503, the estoppel, and the flood disclosure required by Section 689.302.

How many estoppel certificates does an Edgewater at Pelican Sound sale need?

Two: the Edgewater association's and the club's. The club lists a $299 estoppel fee at closing, and Section 718.116 caps a standard condominium estoppel for a current account at $299.

Who pays the estoppel fees on an Edgewater at Pelican Sound sale?

The club's closing-cost list puts both the club estoppel and the neighborhood estoppel on the buyer. Lee County custom often has the seller pay estoppel fees, so the contract controls.

Who pays the club's capital charge, the seller or the buyer?

The club lists the $20,300 initiation fee or the $11,495 resale capital fee as paid to Pelican Sound by the buyer at closing. The contract controls.

What does the seller pay the club at closing?

The club's closing-cost list names all outstanding club charges on the seller's member account. Prorated assessment and association dues are settled at closing.

What are seller closing costs on an Edgewater at Pelican Sound sale?

In Lee County the seller customarily pays documentary stamps on the deed at $0.70 per $100 and the owner's title policy; the contract controls. At $585,000, doc stamps are $4,095 and the promulgated owner's policy premium is about $3,000.

How are fees and taxes prorated at closing?

Club and association charges are prorated to the closing date, and Florida property taxes, paid in arrears, are credited to the buyer for the seller's days of ownership. The closing agent prepares the figures.

Can I sell my Edgewater at Pelican Sound home with a special assessment pending?

Yes, but it must be disclosed and the contract must say who pays. The association's estoppel states any assessment, and we want to see the board's notice before we set a price.

Should I rent my Edgewater at Pelican Sound home instead of selling?

Compare the net rent after the club's $260 application and $465 amenity transfer fees, the 30-day minimum, the no-pets rule for lessees and the Edgewater declaration's own limits against a sale at today's floor-matched price.

Can I sell my Edgewater at Pelican Sound home with a tenant in place?

Yes, subject to the lease. The buyer takes the lease, showings go through the tenant, and the closing should match the lease end.

Does my club membership transfer to my buyer?

No, it ends and a new one starts. The Fact Sheet says membership terminates on sale, and the buyer's membership begins at closing with the association's approval and the club's one-time charge.

Do I get my initiation fee back when I sell my Edgewater at Pelican Sound home?

The club describes the initiation and resale capital fees as one-time charges at closing and the resale capital amount as funding its Capital Resale Reserve; it describes no refund. We know of no equity refund in Pelican Sound.

Do I need a wind mitigation inspection before listing my Edgewater at Pelican Sound home?

It is not required to list, but the state's uniform mitigation verification form can earn a buyer insurance credits under Section 627.711, and a current one is a selling point. For a condominium, credits depend on the building.

Do I have to disclose flooding when I sell at Edgewater at Pelican Sound?

Yes. Section 689.302 requires a flood disclosure at or before contract, covering flooding that damaged the property during your ownership, flood claims and flood assistance.

Do I owe capital gains tax when I sell my Edgewater at Pelican Sound home?

It depends on your circumstances. The IRS allows a home-sale exclusion of up to $250,000, or $500,000 for joint filers, if you owned and used the home as your main home for at least two of the last five years. We are not tax advisers.

What if my Edgewater at Pelican Sound home has sat for 90 days?

The August 2026 ground-floor sale closed at $530,000 after 97 days, at 93.1 percent of list. Recent closings cluster from $530,000 to $552,000 for ground-floor homes, so a reset toward that band plus a review of photos and condition is usually the answer. Call Jesse at (239) 898-6072.

What price should I list at to sell within 60 days?

Near the recent closings for your floor. Over 24 months the median sale closed at 97.5 percent of its final list, so a final ask about 2 to 3 percent above the price you would accept fits the pattern.

How should I state my square footage when I list?

Say which source you use: the county roll's 1,406 or 1,535 heated square feet, or the club's 1,551 or 1,669. Mixing them makes your home look larger or smaller than its comparables.

How does Edgewater at Pelican Sound compete with Southern Hills for buyers?

On the same floor plans, Edgewater has sold higher: a $592,000 36-month median against $567,500 at Southern Hills. Buyers cross-shop both, so we price an Edgewater listing against both sets of closings.

Can an Edgewater at Pelican Sound owner sell to a trust or an LLC?

Yes. The club's Q and A says a corporation or trust may purchase, with club privileges limited to one designated household, and the association's approval process still applies.
