Many homes offer private swimming pools and spas, outdoor kitchens, expansive screened lanais, and breathtaking views of championship golf fairways, lakes, and protected natural preserves.

Spacious outdoor living areas are designed to maximize Southwest Florida's year-round climate, creating ideal spaces for entertaining family and friends while enjoying spectacular golf course and sunset views.
One of Pinehurst's greatest advantages is its bundled golf membership.

This unique amenity allows homeowners to enjoy boating, paddleboarding, shelling, fishing, wildlife viewing, and relaxing on one of Southwest Florida's most beautiful Gulf beaches directly from the community.
Dining and social opportunities are equally impressive. Residents have access to multiple on-site dining venues, including the recently renovated Golf Club, the River Club, the Pelican Pub, and waterfront dining overlooking the Estero River. Combined with an active social calendar and exceptional recreational amenities, Pelican Sound provides a true country club lifestyle where neighbors quickly become lifelong friends.
