Seaside is one of the premier carriage home neighborhoods within the gated Pelican Sound Golf & River Club in Estero, Florida. Known for its spacious residences, attached two-car garages, scenic golf course views, and maintenance-free lifestyle, Seaside offers homeowners the perfect combination of comfort, luxury, and resort-style living. As one of only three carriage home neighborhoods within Pelican Sound, Seaside is highly desirable among buyers seeking larger residences with bundled championship golf and access to one of Southwest Florida's most amenity-rich private communities.
Located in a prime area of Pelican Sound, Seaside enjoys a peaceful setting surrounded by beautifully maintained fairways, sparkling lakes, and mature tropical landscaping. Many residences overlook the Lakes Course, providing tranquil golf course views while remaining just a short walk, bike ride, or golf cart ride from the Golf Club, River Club, Fitness Center, Racquet Center, and numerous community amenities.
Developed in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Seaside consists of approximately 156 carriage homes spread throughout Seaside I, II, and III. The neighborhood features two spacious floor plans. First-floor residences offer approximately 1,759 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, while second-floor residences provide approximately 2,170 square feet with three bedrooms plus a den, vaulted ceilings, and generous living spaces. Every home includes an attached two-car garage, large screened lanai, spacious primary suite, and an open-concept layout designed for comfortable everyday living and entertaining.
Many Seaside homes have been tastefully updated with modern coastal finishes, quartz or granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, luxury vinyl plank or tile flooring, renovated bathrooms, designer lighting, impact-resistant windows and doors, and smart home features. Expansive screened lanais provide the perfect setting for relaxing while enjoying panoramic golf course views, peaceful lakes, and Southwest Florida's spectacular sunsets.
One of Seaside's greatest advantages is its bundled golf membership. Every homeowner enjoys full membership privileges at Pelican Sound Golf & River Club, including unlimited access to the community's 27-hole championship golf course designed by Chip Powell and Mike Hill. Unlike many private golf communities, ownership includes golf privileges without requiring a separate equity membership, providing exceptional value for avid golfers.
Beyond golf, Pelican Sound offers one of Southwest Florida's most comprehensive resort lifestyles. Residents enjoy six resort-style swimming pools, six spas, a state-of-the-art fitness center, eight Hydro-Grid tennis courts, 14 pickleball courts, bocce courts, walking and biking trails, outdoor fitness areas, a dog park, playground, and an active year-round calendar of clubs, tournaments, fitness classes, concerts, and social events.
A truly unique feature of Pelican Sound is its direct access to Estero Bay. Residents have access to a private boat launch, outdoor boat storage, kayaking and canoeing, and the community's exclusive boat shuttle to Lovers Key State Park. This one-of-a-kind 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 is another highlight of life at Pelican Sound. Residents enjoy multiple on-site dining venues, including The Vista at the Clubhouse, the River Club, the Pelican Pub, and the Pavilion. Whether gathering with friends after a round of golf or enjoying waterfront dining overlooking the Estero River, homeowners benefit from a vibrant country club atmosphere filled with opportunities to socialize and stay active.
Seaside enjoys an outstanding Estero location just west of U.S. Highway 41 and only minutes from Coconut Point Mall, Miromar Outlets, Gulf Coast Town Center, Hertz Arena, Southwest Florida International Airport, and the white-sand beaches of Bonita Springs and Fort Myers Beach. Convenient access to Interstate 75 allows for easy travel throughout Southwest Florida.
Real estate within Seaside continues to attract buyers seeking spacious carriage homes, bundled golf, attached two-car garages, and a maintenance-free lifestyle within one of Estero's premier golf and boating communities. Its combination of generous floor plans, exceptional amenities, and outstanding location makes Seaside one of Pelican Sound's most desirable neighborhoods.
